Clowndog Hot Dog Parlor

GF corn dogs and onion rings? Kidding right? Its real and real good. Seemed like they used the same batter for both. Normally I eat much healthier but I could not resist the chance to try food I used to eat before I went GF. Was not fast service but they made it fresh.

Custom order pretty much whatever you want on a dog. Friendly staff.

They have a dedicated gluten free fryer. It was really nice to be able to indulge in some fair-style fried food. We got a couple of hot dogs that were very good. I got a corn dog as well. We shared the onion rings and cheese and green chili fries. The staff is very very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is fun and the clown theme fits with the fair food. Definitely will stop by here again next time we’re driving through Albuquerque.

I have Celiac. Almost everything on the menu is GF. They also have GF beer - I didn’t try it! GF onion rings and tots were a hit even with my non-GF family! My hit dog was a hit. Doesn’t hurt that we had a cute dog named Walter (oh the irony - think Breaking Bad) with us. I would HIGHLY recommend this place!! 🌭🐶

My goodness this place is AMAZING! I use this app all the time, but I have never given a review. Both of my kids of symptomatic Celiac. The clown dog hotdog parlor has gluten-free corndogs, fried cheese, hotdogs. And everything is homemade. It is so delicious. My kids gotta have corndogs and onion rings for the first time in a restaurant. It was fabulous. The food is so good. Please go out and support this amazing business.

Went on a day when they were serving set menu due to an event. Server said most of the items were gluten free and confirmed the one I was interested in was safe. Only fry gluten free items so they were all safe to get.

A decent hotdog is hard to find when you can’t eat gluten. These hotdogs are perfection. The dog itself is super tasty. But if you’re like me, you’re wondering if the bun is okay. It’s delicious! Warm and soft on the inside with a crisp buttery grill on the outside. It never fell apart on me either. If you love corn dogs, you’ll love the onion rings. I don’t care for corn batter so, they weren’t my favorite.

Traveling through Albuquerque we came upon this place from Find Me Gluten Free and were SO HAPPY WE DID! We live in the Midwest and it's hard to find a good Chicago dog out west and this is hands down the ABSOLUTE BEST Chicago dog I have ever had, anywhere. The corn dog batter was complete perfection. It was not overly sweet, cooked throughout, perfectly golden brown on the outside with a nice crunch. The quality of the all beef hot dog was unmatched in not only the corn dog and Chicago dog but also the Sonoran Dog! The bacon was crisp and NOT soggy, the onions, jalapeno salsa and mustard just made this a true party in your mouth and was exceptional! The cheese on a stick was unlike anything I had ever had before and I will undoubtedly be dreaming about it until I return...unbelievably good!! The hot dog jalapeño poppers were also out of this world. The jalapeños were fresh, crisp, and not too spicy with just the right amount of crunch with the soft cheese and hot dog center....phenomenal!! Clowndog Hot Dog Parlor is a MUST GO in Albuquerque, you will be so thankful you stopped!

*out taste buds were singing the entire time and we completely spaced on food pictures*

Omg! Fried food heaven for gluten free!!! I had the onion rings, cheese on a stick and Chicago dog! So much gluten free to choose from. All tasted great! Truthfully could have just eaten eaten the onion rings and cheese on a stick. Haven’t had either of those in 8 years! You have to try! Such a neat concept.

If you’re ready to dive into some gluten-free splurge this is your stop. The hotdogs offer up to 50 toppings definitely recommend trying some of their chili toppings it is New Mexico after all. Hand cut french fries gluten free what more do you need to say! I didn’t order the onion rings but they looked amazing and they are gluten free maybe going back for those. Corn dogs are also gluten free. Separate fryer very knowledgeable on celiac my daughter who is very sensitive was fine. Portions are large.

The waiter was knowledgeable about gluten and showed me what I could have. The chicago dog and onion rings were delicious. The GF bun fell apart halfway through as all do, but it was still very tasty. This is obviously not a health food restaurant, but if you’re missing GF junk food it’s a great find. No ill effects afterwards except from eating too many onion rings! My non-GF companion was very happy with her meal as well.

Super impressed! You honestly wouldn’t know it was GF. The onion rings are really good, as are the corn dogs. I tried the Chicago dog too, and it has the wrong kind of pickles on it to be “authentic.” I grew up in IL, so I’ve got really high standards - if you’re less pretentious than me, you’ll probably enjoy it. I’d definitely come back.

Really good! GF items are marked on the menu- hotdog buns, toppings, side items. even GF choices for beer. Best corn dog and onion rings I’ve ever had! Fries were fresh cut and delicious. Super staff, food was made fresh. not the healthiest option- we are talking about fried foods and hotdogs- but fun and delicious! Highly recommend!
