The Hott Dogg House

The Hott Dogg House formerly Don’s Famous Franks has
been a staple of Augusta for nearly 40 years on Mt. Vernon Avenue.
First opened in 1978 by Donald and Donna Genest the eatery is still in
the Genest Family
to this day. I myself first visited in 1998 and have been going back
ever since.
I’ve tried many items on the menu and have never
been disappointed, generally though I stick with my standard order of
two with mustard and a small fry.
They use a brown natural casing dog that is cooked
on a flat top and then cradled in a warm, soft steamed New England style
top split roll. The French fries are my all-time favorite! They are
homemade crinkle
cut that are twice fried for crispiness! They come unsalted so you can
dress them as you like
The last couple years Don’s revamped and renamed themselves the Hott Dogg House and now feature a few specialty dogs like the Dually Dog and the Beanie Dog and 12 combo meals to choose from. Other than the name and the décor though, nothing else has changed. The service is still friendly and fast, the food excellent, and the French fries are the best around.
