It’s clear that the hot dog is an all-American staple, but it’s hard to find much of the famous wurst in the Southwest. However, in Duke City is a tiny hot dog spot that’s been around for years and is beloved by the community. Dog House Drive-In is a small building without much seating, so most visitors drive up and eat in their cars. Their chili-dog is world-famous, but beware as it is messy. This spot might not look like much, but if you’re looking for one of the best hot dogs in the nation, you need to check out Dog House Drive-In.

Dog House is truly a no frills dining experience. In fact, they only take cash and don't have a large seating area. You'll find many old school cars in the parking lot, just like the good ol' days.
