Vicky's Doghouse Cafe'

Serving up gourmet delights on the fantail of Battleship IOWA 

Casual Dining with the Best View in the Harbor

Vicky’s Doghouse is a gourmet hotdog kitchen on the fantail of the Battleship IOWA serving a variety of hotdogs, sides, salads, beers and wines. It is named for the ship’s famous mascot from the 1940s – a mischievous little dog that belonged to the ship’s first captain. Look for Vicky as a feature in a popular scavenger hunt for kids aboard the ship as well.

In addition to serving up tasty treats on the fantail, Vicky’s also caters select meetings, events, school groups, and overnights on board the ship.
