Lol, you guys know me. I love supporting local and I'm a foodie. So, I'm a little embarrassed about writing this review just because I've worked so hard for my reputation as a food critic... but... Wienerschnitzel is one of my guilty pleasures. We had them all around Southern California but now I only have 2 near me. The one up north and the one in San Marcos... Lemme just say, historically Wienerschnitzel's are not really "clean places". I definitely prefer driving thru. But like bruh... I love their chili cheese dogs, and BROOOOO... FREAKING MINI CORN DOGS EXTRA CRISPY. I really truly 110% without a doubt could sit down and eat 100 of them in one sitting. Seriously, if anyone out there wants to challenge me on this. BE MY GUEST. My messages are always open. Send me one, tell me the date and time, YOU BUY THE 100 corn dogs, and I will meet you there and I will eat every single one them... no joke. read more

Well since i was leaving Texas I had to come one more time. Drive thru was only 1 car so we hoped right in line. The hot dogs (beef) were amazing. I was so happy to find a place I callus have sauerkraut with my dogs since that's like my fav you know. I'm not a huge fan of chili but the chili here on a dog is amazing. The fries were hot and delicious , a great addition to my meal. When i visit i will be coming back. read more

What an absolute joke that this restaurant is still drive up only. The Taco Bell across the parking lot is open and had what seemed to be a full staff. I'll find another place to get a dog from now on. Hard to enjoy a chili dog in the car, step up and hire enough staff. Good grief it's been two years since the lock down! read more

I deliver for a couple of companies so I'm in 20-30 restaurants a day. After seeing inside some of these places, I can adamantly say I would NEVER eat in some of them, and I feel sorry for my customers who placed orders at them. Having said that, I have never picked up an order from Wienerschnitzel for a customer, but I do eat there once or twice a month. Even during the worst part of the pandemic, Wienerschnitzel didn't drop the ball on quality. There were times when they weren't serving drinks, but the quality of the food never failed and as taxing as it was working ANYWHERE during that time the servers were always pleasant, and the service was as quick as they could make it. I give them kudos because my food never looked like it was just slopped on a wrapping paper. My order was always correct (lol but my son's wasn't). The chili is amazing as it has always been and now you can buy cans of it to bring home. Love this place. Inside looks clean. You can see employees washing their hands. Nice place. read more

I wonder if the order taker actually listens to people placing their orders. She overtalks people. This place annoyed me today.

I had a regular hamburger and plain and dry hot dog. You can either get a regular hot dog bun or a pretzel bun for an extra 60 cents, so I chose the latter. The food was good - not great, but also not bad. The food came out relatively quickly, and the wait staff was nice. The place is also clean. They offer menu items not typically offered at other quick service restaurants like corn dogs. They seem to have a menu similar to sonic, but you can eat inside. I did not have any soft serve ice cream during this visit, but I have had it in the past, and the Tastee Freez soft serve is really good. They have daily specials on the soft serve. You can also get coupons if you sign up via a text message or go to the their web page. read more

We had to be in the area at lunchtime so we stopped by here. We used to use it frequently. We were wanting chili dogs, but the indoor section is still closed so we had to do drive-through. So we decided on the corn dogs instead since chili dogs are somewhat messy. They do have the best corn dogs. These are comparable to the ones at the State Fair. They are actually fried and so they are authentic. The french fries are also very good. Still hungry for that chili dog, so we hope they re-open completely soon. read more

Been coming here for 8 years and throughout all the staff changes the service and food is always amazing I will never stop coming best one in Texas read more

Wienerschnitzel - F it - Hot Dogs Near Me - Austin, Texas

Well.. Im rating this on FEEDBACK I recevied but I promised the employee running the show there that I was "so going to Yelp this place" because... apparently their boss SUCKS! Its like 10:30 @ night, and employee comes over to the drive thru window and says "Im sorry, I dont mean to just stand in the window, your food is on its way, but I need to steal some air!".. I was like huh.., "its all good". Employee says, "inside closed a little while ago and the manager turns off the a/c since the inside is closed, and its HOT in here!-- and we cant leave open any kind of window or door, so Im sorry, Im just really hot right now".. WELL, when I tell employee "Id have been complained!" and a few other choice words, employee says, "oh.. I cant. You complain around here and you get your hours cut".. Manager says "its store policy". You have GOT to be kidding me. I said "so yall are in there cookin dogs, and fryin fries in THIS heat, with no air circulating?" When I said I was going to Yelp them, and maybe even put in a fun call to their HQ, employee says "please do!". So as super plesant as this employee was, and they were rockin friendly, sounds like this manager doesnt give 2 craps about their employees.... Whats up with that?? read more

Flash back of my childhood in San Jose, California. Food is still the same (good) and cheap. The fries were a little bit salty but I love the chili and cheese on everything. Service was fast and the place is clean. I wish they would open one in Round Rock. read more

Wienerschnitzel - Chili dog goodness - Hot Dogs Near Me - Austin, Texas

Probably the worst chili cheese dog I've ever had. I posted a photo of it. The way they package their dogs ensures that most of the stuff you pay extra for remains on the wrapping. Also, I paid for and ordered curly fries. They gave me, seriously, a cup full of regular old fries. Fugggg this place and its weiners! read more

Okay, Okay, yes bad, very bad. But also sooo good. So good that it's bad. Yes too many carbs, Yes, too many bad things, Yes, don't do it often. Having said all that which you should know. Staff was very cordial and appreciative, perhaps they know, places like this are on the chopping block. Hot dog, pa-lease. With chili, sure. Onion, no problemo. Oh, BTW, can i tempt you with fries of the same, chili, cheese, more smeared in ruthless indulgence, okay sure. Don't come here for anything other than pure and fleeting satisfaction. read more

Gotdamn I love me some Weinerschnitzel! They have the best corn dogs and chili cheese fries! Highly recommend!

Good food consistency. But very much lacking in service. Not even a small thank you. Covid-19 is over. So over. Open your dining room. Do those things then maybe You deserve 5 stars. read more

Ambience - i used to live near here for years and drove past it every day. Back then it looked shady as f@#$. But it has a new look and it looks really good now. I never saw anyone in this place before so I don't know if it was closed or just scared everyone away. The inside was nice and clean with lots of seating and lots of color. The A/C must be broken because it was almost unbearably hot inside the lobby. But the new face lift looks really good and when I got there the drive thru lane was packed. Menu - fast food joint that obviously specializes in dogs. They have numerous amounts of hotdogs like Chicago, chili, sauerkraut and some other nice takes on what can come on a hotdog. They also have corndogs which is something you don't find very often. If you don't feel like a dog they have burgers and also chicken burgers. If you have a sweet tooth then you can also indulge in some shakes. Menu is actually kind of big for a fast food joint so there is plenty of options for you to choose. Service - came in and was greeted by a gentleman in his late 20s maybe early 30s. He was a really nice guy but seemed a little off. I cant quite tell what it was but it was just odd. It almost felt like he was hitting on me or was just in a mindset of giving zero f***$. When he brought me my food he asked if I needed any condiments and anything else. The service was good, if not eccentric so that was a good start with the new look of the store. Food - I got the #5 combo which comes with a chili burger, chili dog, fries and a drink. When I ordered this the cashier called out "burger" to the kitchen. The cook definitely was not pleased with this as he gave a gruff snort. Guess burgers take longer and aren't easy to make? Anyways I get my food. The fries were kind of sad. They were hot and fresh but they weren't cooked long enough as they were super limpy. So the texture and consistency of them was kind of like having potato flavored playdoh in my mouth. I unwrapped the burger and dog, and obviously they are going to be messy. I mean come on, having chili on anything is going to make this a fun sloppy time. The hot dog had a piece of American cheese put in the bun then the dog on top and then chili on top. Oh come on, this is nowhere near what the picture looks like. The hotdog was ok I guess. The chili is the standard "homestyle" that you get from like Sysco or Ben E Keith. It has on ok flavor but nothing special. The actual hotdog was the star, which I hope it would. It had a nice flavor that was actually surprising. So the hotdog was a sad attempt. The burger was very small. It is the size of a coaster or a cellphone. Pretty small but I did get a combo meal so maybe the meals with just a burger might be bigger. Idk. The burger was just meat, bun and chili. The patty was pretty small so I basically could only taste the chili. So there isn't really anything to be said about the burger because it was nothing. I actually didn't finish the burger because I had enough chili taste going on. Overall - for me there was nothing special or good about my food. All 3 items were pretty subpar even for a fast food joint. So my advice is get a corndog or one of the specialty hotdogs. Because they do have a good meat for the hotdog. I give the 2 stars for the service and the new facelift. As both were great but the food was pretty lackluster and disappointing. read more

Wienerschnitzel - Chili dog and burger. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Austin, Texas

I'm a Wienerschnitzel super fan. My body has been fueled by their chili dogs since I was a toddler in stinky diapers. In my eyes a Wienerschnitzel Chili Cheese Dog is a fine delicacy that really should be served on rare china, not a wax paper wrapper to show it the proper respect. Inside each perfectly steamed hot dog bun (that's never soggy, just perfectly soft like a baby's behind) is a wiener, with unknown ingredients that will make your mouth salivate, wrapped in a slice of savory American cheese and then smothered with their world-famous Wienerschnitzel chili, appropriately sans beans (no tooting here) for us Texans. It's freakin' delicious! Super fans like me don't stop at the wiener. We know that Wienerschnitzel offers way more than just a good chili dog. How about a wiener dunked in batter and deep fried? Hell yes you want one them corn dogs! A pre-requisite of attaining super fan status is getting a corn dog stick tattoo. You know what I'm talking about. The scar from the burn from the wood stick when you try to bite off that last bit of golden batter that's hanging on for dear life! It's a corn dog rite of passage, a legendary ritual amongst all corn dog lovers! I'm not stepping down from my pedestal at fried wieners. As the original super fan of the world's finest chili dogs I must inform you that your best Wienerschnitzel meal is accompanied by even more chili...in the form of an order of Chili Cheese Fries! (said like the announcer of the Price is Right for the showcase showdown). Oh yeah! These fries...they're not like ordinary fast food fries...instead they're so perfect they rival the famous ones at that other fast food joint with the golden...you know whats. Alone, these fries are ahhhhmaaazing, but topped with the world-famous Wienerscnitzel chili and cheddar cheese, then what you got is a plate of ecstasy inducing drugless drugs! I'm not ashamed. I'm the lone guy in the corner you've been staring at who's guilty of moaning aloud as each fork with this raging goodness enters my mouth and engulfs my tongue. Ohhhhhhhhhhh! Ahhh! Ohhh! Yes, the place is amazeballs, now aren't you ready to join the super fan club? Oh...but a super fan doesn't hang out on Yelp, so get your butt in gear and head to Wienerschnitzel now. Hurry up, you know you wanna be a freak like me! read more

We got a craving for Weinersnitzel hot dogs, which we haven't eaten for a very long time. I was a little worried by the reviews I read on the Austin/Burnet Road restaurant, but we decided to go ahead. I'm very glad we did. The drive-through was surprisingly fast, the lady at the window was pleasant and courteous (about 5:20 PM, 8/14/20, if management is reading this), and the food was delicious. An excellent fast-food experience. read more

My own mistake with this restaurant was the hype from my friends telling of how good this place was, so the expectations rise high. when I got there, it was just like any other usual fast food, but I was already there so might as well take the chance. I ordered the burger and hot dog combo, nothing special or unique. the food it was ok, not good not bad just ok, not worth the drive, I also hear that the shakes were good, but what a disappointment, it was just blending ice cream with you favorite cereal. I'll say this place is overpriced to what it has to offer. Restrooms need remodeling ASAP, staff was properly trained but not polite. read more

My first time here and we went through the drive through so I did not go inside and see how the place was but in my first experience it was pleasant. We both ordered combo meals that included a chili cheese dog, chili cheese burger and chili cheese fries as well as a drink. I got strawberry lemonade and it was awesome. The flavor of the chili was great for a fast food place and I would recommend this place for sure when you want a good hot dog even if you don't want chili on it. read more

Wienerschnitzel - A nice combo meal chili cheese dog, chili cheese burger and chili cheese fries! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place that (obviously) features hot dogs has got to have the runniest, thinnest chili I've ever eaten on a hot dog! Such a disappointment since I adore chili dogs. I looked at the pictures on this site and was flabbergasted to see dogs with the chili actually adhering to them and not running out both ends until I noticed that the pictures were posted by the business owner! Mr. Business Owner, I only wish that your food actually lived up to your pictures. read more

I am not even a hot dog lover or eater. I do love the Tasty Freeze though. My husband likes hot dogs. Tonight, the staff member gave our beagles 2 wieners..... That is why she and this place gets the five stars! My beagles were in hog dog heaven. Any place that will provide your dogs with treats gets high marks in my book. They were refrigerated weenies, but how thoughtful was that awesome drive through lady to give my boys an unexpected surprise! Dogs for the dogs, rather than dog eat dog...? I love it!! read more

Like the guy who took my order today, I too was once a shift leader at a fast food joint, back when I "took a semester off to focus on the band." I know the position doesn't come with the kind of pay to magically transform one into "The World's Top Gregarious Hot Dog Evangelist," but between his bumbling vacant manner and the absence of even the slightest pleasantry I found myself almost too depressed to eat by the time I got my change and receipt. Maybe the zombie-like customer service spoiled the mood, but my Chili Cheese Dog just didn't taste like the decadent indulgence I remembered it being. Given the level of enthusiasm I encountered today I can't help but wonder why they bothered re-opening this location. Shrug. read more

Wienerschnitzel is the greatest! That is, if you like the best tasting, bottom-of-the-barrel food groups. On the scale of fine-dining, this is the bottom rung, as low as you can possibly get to just garbage. And it's delicious! I LOVE the chili dogs and but REALLY LOVE the corn dogs. The crunch, sweet cornbread wrapping up that tasty little hot dog center. Coat that dog in copious amounts of mustard and, oh baby! Now that's good stuff! A word of warning to those who don't seem to "get it." This isn't a fine dining restaurant. This is a get-three-thousand-calories-for-$5 restaurant and every meal comes with a solid helping of fat. So if you are looking for fancy schmantzy, take your confused chili-dog needs elsewhere. This ain't the place for you. But if you want a chili-covered, simple o' dirty dog, come on in! This dog just can't be beat! Couple of random facts: The corn dogs are made from chicken. They offer beef dogs for those who don't eat pork. read more

The cashier made a good effort to be personable & outgoing while taking my order & ringing me up efficiently. A Chicago-style dog is my litmus test for hot dog joints. Fresh tomato slices & chopped onions, crunchy pickle spear, and the perfect balance of mustard, relish, and celery salt. Two crunchy & pungent sport peppers on top, and you have the real thing! The only odd thing about this Chicago dog is a sesame seed bun. The usual method uses a poppy seed bun, but this may be an insignificant detail. My dog was well prepared & tasty. Next time I'll have a Kraut dog, but with the Angus Beef frank. I'm sure it will satisfy both my nostalgia & any refinement of taste I've gained through experience. read more

My bf and I drive all the way from Houston just for chili cheese dogs. Once he ordered 80 and we ate them for a week! They are really good reheated too (I dont normally do reheated hot dogs, but these take the cake). I used to go to the one in Beaumont when I was over there, and if we pass the one in Bryan we stop too. I can't wait till Houston gets one read more

Hey this place is alright! The management seemed to be way better than it was a few months back. Very nice, helpful and seemed to be a good team leader! The restaurant was clean and employees were nice. The food was awesome! How could it not be, it's chili dogs! Keep up the good work! read more

Oh jeez. I was seduced by the low cost items during lunch. I get 1/2 an hour and I needed something fast and cheap. I whizzed into Wiernerneveragain and I ordered a chili dog. I mean, that's why you go there right? How could they get a dog wrong when WIENER is in their name? So, I pay for my order and whip back to work. I run upstairs, get to my desk, clock-in. MMM, time for lunch. I take one bite and I want to punch myself in the side of the head for going here. I hate the chili. It tastes so watered down and bland. WAHHHHHHHHHH! never never ever again. read more

ugh I wrote out a review then my connection ate most of it... Bottom line = BOO Wienerschnitzel! I wanted to reminisce by having a corn dog from your drive through...instead I god a vaguely warm sad chicken frank wrapped in lame nearly soggy batter with fries clearly fried in oil that should've been tossed out MANY batches ago (a bit funny tasting and way too hard/crisp). Mom used to take me to the crazy looking drive-thru (you drove through the middle of the building!!!) as a kiddo for my beloved corn dogs. I should've just held onto that memory and kept on driving when I got the urge to relive it tonight. read more

Best of the Worst: I am not a big fan of chain food ... but Wienerschnitzel is an exception. I LOVE their dogs, so much like chili smothered Vienna Sausages, it is a spiritual experience. My buddy and I were driving by when we saw it and just had to stop. I got the double chili dog combo, with chili fries. he got the "I'm a dip stick" meal with a large fries, a hamburger, and a hot dog.... He took a bit of the burger and looked over at me (he was close to tears) "Dude, punch me in the face if I ever think about ordered a burger here again." Hamburgers suck at the wiener ... don't get them. I had forgotten about the Revenge of the Wiener ... the food fights to get out, and takes everything else with it on a "Rapid Ride" I have visited the toilet a number of times since, and it doesn't feel like it has finished kicking, clawing, and screaming to get out ... it may be a little while before I am able to go back to Wienerschnitzel, but it was SO worth it. read more

My husband and I came here for dinner and we didn't look at the menu we just ordered as if we were back in California and that resulted in us not being able to get one of the items we wanted the staff was very pleasant and very nice and they fixed our mistake not theirs the food was delicious and we look forward to going back read more

Every time I come here, I remember why I stop coming here... Today's experience was yet again, miserable. Here's basically how it went. Pull up to the drive thru menu and sit. There is one car up at the window ahead of me already. After 6 minutes of silence and me saying hello over and over, wondering if the speaker is broken, I finally get a curt, mumbled response (just as I'm about to drive off.) So I order and pull up. She takes my payment super quick and then proceeds to disappear for the next 10 minutes. There is now a line of 7 cars behind me. 12 minutes later, just as I'm about to start banging on the window to get my money back, she hands me my drink that's only filled about 7/8ths full with a nice two inch gap of air at the top. 2 minutes after that, I get my food. The girl in the window is the same one I dealt with last time. (How she still works there with her crappy attitude I haven't a clue. How I forgot she was the main reason I haven't been back in 4 months is something different altogether.) I drive off as quickly as I can with half my lunch break now spent waiting on these guys. I get back to the office 4 minutes later and realized immediately upon opening the box, that ordering anything with pepperoni from a hot dog place was a mistake... It was clearly microwaved. All greasy and curled on the sides. I just threw it in the trash and moved to the mini corn dogs. They can be summed up in two words. Stale rubber. I'm not sure when the last time their fryer grease was changed but, I'm pretty sure it's been well over a year. The fried dough tasted like old grease while the dogs were comparable to a bouncy ball. I don't remember other wienerschnitzels being this bad. One things for sure... I won't be going back. Btw, 5 of those seven cars behind me just drive off. Unfortunately one new one joined the fray and decided to brave the gauntlet. read more

This place is good for lithe kids but not for adults who like a meaty dog with great chili. The dogs are thin and get lost in the bun. I can see where a kid who only wants ketchup would like it but this is truly no better than a package of dogs from the store. Probably were. The bun was ok but again you can get the same thing from the store. The most disappointing thing was the chili. It tasted like ketchup with little tiny pieces of meat in it. Very runny, and not very tasty at all. I would bet it's from a can. The fries were good but don't get then with the chili. Soda had a wierd taste, but the milkshakes looked good. Didn't have one but the kids I saw seemed to enjoy them. For what I got, seemed a little expensive. read more
