Big fan of long-time staples restaurants that have endured through all of Baton Rouge's economic swings - Louie's Cafe, Coffee Call, the Waffle House off College... and cheap chili dogs at Wienerschnitzel. "The Schnitzel" has been my close-to-campus late night hot dog fix since I can remember, and it's still around somehow while nearby fast food chains have come and gone. Should you go out of your way to get a dog here? Nah, but it's nostalgic. I mean, look at their building - it hasn't changed since the 1980's! AND PEOPLE STILL GO HERE, making that drive-thru line long! They're using advanced, modern-day AI computers to take your order in the drive thru! They selling out of merchandise! They sell cans of their own chili!! So don't come here with high expectations. It's chili dogs, french fries, and a taste of Baton Rouge nostalgia that'll let you share stories with people double your age who remember getting $1 hot dogs after staying out late at The Bayou, or seeing a band at The Spanish Moon. read more

I'm gonna start with the good. As far as I'm concerned, what they are known for, they do well. My all beef hot dog was probably the best I've had in years. It was hot and juicy and flavorful. I want all too impressed with the toppings on the trash can dog (fries, cheese). The jalapeño poppers were delicious as well. Also some of the best I've tasted. Crispy freshly fried outside. Grease didn't taste old. Tiny pieces of jalapeño with cheese inside that's spicy but not overbearingly so. I tried their fish and chips because they were battered and I was expecting s Captain D's/Long John Silver taste and I got bland and chalky. The fries were greasy and didn't taste the best. My daughter's hamburger patty was very pale and she status it tasted weird after just one bite. It's very small. Window service or drive thru only. We'll be back though. The hot dog and poppers are worth it. read more

Der Wienerschitzel I have such fond memories of you. You should have stayed a memory. Memories are often so much better than the current reality. So I ordered the Aussie Dog. I can't tell you exactly what's the official description because it's not on the website, but it's a dog with American Cheese (which was unmelted), horseradish aioli jalapeños, onions & bacon. The bun was hard and cold. The hot dog is thick and at first I thought it was a polish but nope! Just a FAT DOG! Then I googled and IT IS ALLEGEDLY A POLISH BUT IT DEFINITELY DIDBG LOOK LIKE A POLISH! I guess it's sort of a Polish, but not really. Which was also not hot. Can we establish a theme here? I also sign no sign of the horseradish aioli. I mean NONE! I also got a watermelon lemonade which was alright but too sweet and thick The employee was really nice. I doubt I'll do this again but I definitely have the nostalgia taken care of for here. read more

I am a big fan of hot dogs and sausages. I have tried many at many different places. However, wienerschnitzel was somewhere that I have never tried before until this year. I've passed by it and have heard about the deals that this place had. My friend and I decided to go try it out, and we got a family pack of 6 chili dogs and 3 chili cheese fries. We asked for jalapeños and got them for free since the jalapeños were low. The worker added 2 jalapeño slices to each hot dog and told us that they were running out so that he didn't charge us. This was really nice of him and definitely added the spice to the hot dog. The hot dogs did not look appetizing at all. There was some pieces of chili scattered about on the hot dog. The hot dog itself reminded me of a regular store bought sausage pack and some buns from the local store. The price really shows in the food that you get here. The fries itself actually looked really appetizing. However, the fries were salty and kinda slimy and was not the best. The hot dogs tasted pretty average and had no distinction. I had to take off 2 stars for the quality of the taste of the food. The service was pretty good. As mentioned, the worker helped us out with the jalapeños. He was also really nice and took our order and made sure that we were getting good service. The wait was long to get the food. However, I think that the service was pretty decent for a drive-thru experience. The best description of this place is definitely that this is the Taco Bell of hot dog places. You pay for a cheap meal, and you get a lower quality product is what that means. read more

Love the Fries!!!! Service is not so great. They seem to ALWAYS HAVE AN ATTITUDE. I guess they don't Love what they do

The chili dogs were fantastic and the fries were hot and melt in your mouth tasty! The staff was friendly and the prices were great! I will be back the next time I am in town. read more

First time at a visiting. Not great service, we waited at the window for 10 minutes before we were even acknowledged. The corndog had been overcooked and was inedible, the order was wrong, and the portion sizes were not what we were expecting. Overall a disappointment. read more

I was thrilled to recently find a Wienerschnitzel in Baton Rouge. I used to eat at one as a kid all the time when I lived in Illinois and hadn't seen one since. It was everything I remembered. This restaurant has gotten a bad rap in other reviews due to it's location but I don't really get that. It's right around the corner from a really nice park and down the road from LSU. No doubt it's a favorite of the students. The food is good and it's cheap. They have the best chili dogs! Don't let the pic fool you. They are delicious! I wish they would sell jars of their chili. It's that good! The corndogs are also great. I live an hour away from Baton Rouge and will gladly drive there just to eat at the Wienerschnitzel! read more

Old school hotdogs! Remind me of Schwegmann grocery store footling hotdogs that we use to eat as kids in New Orleans! Everyone from Louisiana knows about schwegmann's so they must be good! The pineapple strawberry lemonade is the truth! Too small or I'm too thirsty! read more

I have been coming here since I was child. They stay open late until 2am. I always get the special which is two chilli dogs and fries. Make sure to sign up for there emails they send coupons. This place has been here forever. They have a drive thru and walk up. No sitting area unfortunately. If you love chili dogs this is your place. read more

Food was ok, service was garbage. Waited in line for 30+ minutes, place wasn't busy it was only 9pm. Got to the window was charged for the wrong order and was giving something completely different from what I was charged and ordered. Waited by the window for another ~5min before deciding it wasn't worth waiting and just left. read more

This place was OK. Nothing special no oo's and ah's to report at this establishment. You get what you pay for. It's a hot dog/corn dog type place. It's a little above the level of store bought and reheated food. I would only recommend this place if you want a hot dog fast and there's no Sonic nearby. read more

Was great! We came here randomly, and the folks that worked here were an absolute joy! They had great attitudes, brought the food out quickly, and were great for conversation. Definitely would recommend for a quick snack/lunch! read more

Gourmet it is not. But I can't argue with anyone who enjoys it. Because I sure par take anytime I get a chance. They use to have a hot dog with bacon BBQ sauce and cheese it was the bomb simple and delicious. They no longer have it it has been years but ii have moved on so now I enjoy them all. Never the greatest meal but damn sure I'll be back. read more

I've always walked or rode by this place and one day I decided to stop by and grab food. First things first, the prices are great. They seem to always have some kind of special going on and I'm always a fan of a deal. The food was decent, what I would generally expect from a hot dog & ice cream shack. If you are in the mood for a quick chili dog, this would be a spot to try. It stays open very late so if you've had a long night this would easily and cheaply fit your tastebuds and your wallet! read more

Not so scary in the daytime, and the employees were really nice. A bit on the slow side, but worth the wait. The only real issue is the location. If I didn't have a coupon for a free birthday corn dog, I probably would never have come here, but I'm glad I did! read more

Best chili cheese dogs in Baton Rouge! As a child we ate at the one on airline all the time, so while home I a visit and out at LSU I decided to reminisce and see if they were as great as I remembered. They were. I don't know if it was the nostalgia part of it for me or what but it truly was great. Took me back to being a kid! I love their chili. It's not overly spicy and they are not stingy with it. I also love the cheese they use it melts under the chili an has the best flavor!! I did not even bother with fries! Just got 3 chili cheese dogs and pigged out! It was a fun fast food stop and I am so glad I did it! Cheap food. Great taste. Not a good area -- just outside north gates down from The Varsity. But I'll go during the day and make it fast! read more

Let me start off by saying the food is excellent. It is always made to order and as far as 'unhealthy delicious food goes' the ingredients always taste, look, and smell fresh. I freaking CANT GET ENOUGH OF THEIR CHILI CHEESE PRETZEL DOGS WITH MUSTARD. Sadly, though, the service at times can be HORRENDOUS. I mean sitting in a drive through waiting at the speaker for up to 20 minutes at times. Orders that you make to go being LOST and never registered when going to pick up your food (huge waste of time) and often things just sometimes take just wayyyyy too long. The other day - for some reason I dunno - they just stopped taking orders.... no reason or explanation but just "We aren't taking orders right now." It is a logistical, inefficient mess at the moment in the my opinion. The food is amazing though. If only the service could match it. read more

The way I see it, if you have to dodge bullets to get here, it should be worth the trip. Well, it's not.

Ok, I would have to say, the nastiness thing in the world. That's probably because I don't like hotdogs or chili on hotdogs, but hey, I don't like getting shot either and this location is in a BAD neighborhood. read more

i can't go to baton rouge and/or gonzales without going here. ill be going back when i come to siknic, a car show held at lamar-dixon expo center, later this month. read more

Nasty fast food when sober; The best thing you've ever tasted when you're hammered.

Food is decent but on two separate occasions I've pulled up to the drive thru and NO one responded. I'm only going to wait for so long to order. Won't be going back. Seems like people aren't interested in working. read more

I love this place. I go often and I have never been scared at night. It has a large well lit Chevron gas station and a Family Dollar across the street and is just down the street from the Chimes and Varsity. The food is always tasty, hot, and fresh. I have never had a chili dog that looked messy like the one in the photo but I can see it happen if one of them is placed in the bag upside down then by the time you get home the chili will leak out a little. The burgers have a taste similar to White Castle but with chili of course and the fries have a nice taste and texture. read more

The worst food experience in a long time! The place is filthy and I've been sick to my stomach since eating there a couple hours ago. The cheese still hasn't digested and the grease in the chili is... well just greasy. I do not recommend this joint for anything other than demolition. read more
