Nikki's Dog House, nestled in the heart of Putnam, CT, has been a beloved fixture in the community since its inception in 1980. Founded by the Johnson family, John and Sandra, this cherished Fast Food Restaurant was brought to life with the introduction of their renowned Coney Island Hot Dogs. The inspiration behind the name, Nikki, their daughter, added a personal touch to this culinary gem, which has been a beacon of comfort food for locals and visitors alike for over four decades.

Transitioning seamlessly from one generation to the next, Nikki's legacy lives on as David Johnson now spearheads the family business, infusing it with new energy and a fresh perspective. With a blend of tradition and innovation, Nikki's Dog House is set to embark on a new chapter, promising to continue its tradition of serving up delectable delights in a vibrant and inviting atmosphere. As the calendar turns to May 5, 2021, a revamped experience awaits patrons, ensuring that Nikki's remains a cherished destination for Northeastern CT residents seeking a taste of nostalgia and a warm, welcoming ambiance.
