Dog Haus Biergarten’s tagline is “the absolute wurst,” which is a far cry from the reputation it has earned since opening in August 2017. Its owner, Ron Ryan, has woven Dog Haus into the fabric of the local dining scene by serving gourmet hot dogs with a side of community service.
A 40-year industry veteran, Ryan has traversed the gamut, from owning restaurants to working for hospitality juggernaut Brinker International, parent company to Chili’s Grill & Bar.
He said he chose Richardson Restaurant Park for Dog Haus because of its optimal visibility to motorists on US 75. And while the business does attract passersby, its bun-and-butter customers are young families and professionals living and working in Richardson.
“There is a real sense of civic pride [in Richardson],” he said. “If your intent is to be the fabric of the community, it’s a really good thing because once you break through, there’s a mutual admiration society.”
