Nosh: Good Dog Houston

Texas-Cali duo, Daniel and Amalia, had a vision to bring gourmet hot dogs to Houston. They started the Good Dog concept in the form of a food truck and grew to two brick & mortar locations (Montrose and Heights) in short four years.

Daniel prides in sourcing all local ingredients and serving house-made condiments,  yes, every sauce they have!

Last week, owner Daniel welcomed us to their newest location in Montrose (1312 West Alabama Street), across the University of St. Thomas, to sample some of Good Dog’s tasty favorites! Needless to say, we were blown away by the food and the shakes.

The Montrose Good Dog has plenty of patio seating and great place to bring your family. They also have a plethora of draft beers to go with those delicious hot dogs.

We hope you plan a visit to Good Dog soon! Can’t wait for our next visit 🙂
