This is your typical Wienerschnitzel with a drive thru, an A frame building and a walk up window. I love a good corn dog, chili cheese fries, strawberry sundaes and more corn dogs. I grew up on this stuff but I didn't have it all the time. They have a special every day on menu items like ice cream cones, root beer floats and sundaes. I wish I could come here more often but this isn't healthy food at all they don't even offer salads like most fast food places. Well this is my place when I want to bring back some childhood memories. read more

Guilty. I've eaten here a few times since living fairly close by and what I'm about to say (type) may sound like blasphemy, but I go ahead and say/type it anyway. The food sucks. Sure they're trying out new menu items all of the time but the few versions of the hotdogs have been pretty crappy. I'll take Costco any day of the week and the only thing that does make me stop by here every so often is the ice cream. I like mixing the Oreo and also the Reese's shakes and it's a decently priced sweet treat. The price is right and it's a quick way to satisfy my sweet tooth. read more

I grew up eating at this chain and I had to order chilli cheese dog while I'm in town. This funny looking building looks like a roof, triangle shape and has drive through that cuts in the middle. Service was great, drive thru option only, no dining room. read more

Chili cheese, dog with fries and a drink food was good. Customer service was great. Can't go wrong with Wienerschnitzel.

Their food is very delicious, it comes out in a quick amount of time and the service is just great! They are super nice, all the workers at least on the past few times I have went. I would recommend coming if you are quick on the go for some yummy food and great service! read more

immaculate slop, better then jack in the box by FAR great late night food place very yummy and their ranch is SO good bruh wth idk why i doubted the weiner read more

Wienerschnitzel....used to be my go-to place for hot dogs and corn dogs! It still is, but not so convenient anymore. I love that they kept the original look with the drive-thru and small walk-up window. Chili dogs, mini corn dogs and fries! That is our typical order and you can't go wrong. They have a lot of ice cream dish choices and my son always rotates through the root beer float, shake, freez or a hot fudge sundae. You really can't mess up ice cream! The only thing different are the prices. You get this cheapy but may I add yummy chili dog with cheese, and you pay a lot more then the $1 it used to be back in the days. read more

One of my favorite fastfood joints. The food is always hot and fresh. No matter when I go the staff is very polite and helpful.

Thank you so much to mark for your kindness helping me with my order today the fries are bomb , great service read more

Just left Wienerschnitzel and I would almost swear everyone and their Momma is there right now. There were at least ten cars in their tiny drive through section. The girl came out to each car separately to get money and make it faster for us. Great Customer service! I sure didn't want to cook tonight. I got the special 5 Chili Dogs and 5 Corn Dogs for $9.99 One Kraut dog, a large french fry and 2 Dr. Peppers. I am pretty sure that I will regret it later as I always do. But I just love eating here. My favorite thing about them is the hot dog buns. They are always so fresh and soft and chewy. They even have a Yelp sticker in the window read more

They close at 12am and it's 11:30pm they close what kind of shit is that !!!!! why lie about the time because yall want to leave at 12am that's not cool people drive 20 mins or more to come to this location read more

It's an old location but kept well clean and the staff always seems very nice. Lived in this neighborhood for years and always done business here and I continue to keep coming back. There mailers and coupons in daily specials are probably the reason I come back all the time. read more

Wienerschnitzel - Outdoor seating area - Hot Dogs Near Me - La Mesa, California

We came here for lunch after my tennis practice because they were offering hot dog and chili dogs for .56 cents to celebrate their 56 anniversary. To my surprise they were pretty good. The hot dogs were a nice size the buns were soft and warm and the chili was slightly spicy. I purchased eight hot dogs to share with my husband with some left over for the next day for under $5.00. The service was fast and friendly; the dining area was outside and it was clean and in good condition. They also have a drive thru service and parking can be a challenge. read more

Since when does a fast food place close for cleaning at 3pm on a regular non holiday Friday afternoon. Y'all don't even have a real donning area to clean disappointing read more

I would definitely not come to this location only because I feel that the staff are too young I understand everybody needs to first job but don't go to work if you don't enjoy your job I feel that they always get my order wrong the speaker never works they continuously mess up your order read more

I love there ice cream me and my son come here alot and everyone is so friendly and you got to try the freezes they always put in more topings if I ask them to and don't charge me and don't get pissed off if I ask for a cup of water like jack in the box's up the street anyways apart from the line I love it read more

This is the WORST location of them all. Avoid at all costs. First I go there and they say only drive thru is open which I don't understand because its basically the same thing. They had their window open to order. Then I drive up and they say they dont sell ice cream after a certain time. So when I ask why is it on the menu still and the manager walks up to my car and says they close the machine to clean it but tonight there's no more ice cream because they ran out and used too much this week so they have no more. He contradicted himself and when he went back inside as I drove past the window he's talking shit about me to the employees. It was 40 minutes til closing and a lot of their menu items include ice cream plus people like ice cream after dinner so closing the machine to clean it isn't cool at all and you lose business that way. Never going to this location again. read more

2 chili cheeze dogs and a medium diet coke was 17 dollars. 6 dollars for a medium diet coke. i will never go to this chain again.

The University location is great! The customer service is wonderful and the food is always good. We always go to this location. Thanks to the staff for their politeness and professionalism. The food is always warm and delicious. read more

Disgusting!! Manager is touching the food with his bare hands. He just touched money!!! Yuck!!!!!!! read more

Sodium overload and it's freakin tasty. This location is sketchy as hell but the drive-thru is always quick. And, I don't even care what's in this chili, I just want that shizz slathered all over mah fries. Okay so I can't really eat this junk anymore but occasionally I have to treat someone to this salty goodness and I can steal a fry or five. It's sad that there aren't many of these around anymore but as long as they are, I sure will be in that drive thru line. read more

Wienerschnitzel - ..ummm.. - Hot Dogs Near Me - La Mesa, California

The Devil Is Always In The Details Especially with fast food. Wenerschnitzel is a classic southern California chain. Forty years ago, I actually worked as the night manager for a local restaurant (not this one, although I was loaned out after the remodel in the late 70's to teach how to cook the new burger item menu). The chain has had it's ups and down, but the menu now is largely the same, but with Foster's soft serve items added. I've never had those. I go for the dogs, and I've been there scores of times over the last 10 years. It's not a regular thing; it's a "back to my youth" quick meal. Unfortunately, it's also hit and miss. A famous restaurateur once said that the key to fast food is uniformity. People go back over and over for the same experience. This place is never consistent from visit to visit. Will the fries be fresh? Who knows. Will the hot dog be heated through? Maybe. Will the chili be unctuous and beefy, or watery and tasteless? Will the corn dog be hot and fresh, or stale and dried out? (I actually watched them put an all beef dog in the fryer once because they didn't have any on the grill. Seriously? Where people can watch you prepare the food you're going to take that kind of a shortcut to ruin a dog just for the extra dollar?) A perfect chili dog is a thing of beauty. A terrible chili dog has runny chili dripping down the sides of the bun, with scalding hot chili and a lukewarm dog. A perfect kraut dog has drained kraut lying on top of a hot dog. A terrible one has a lump of soggy kraut, and even soggier bun dripping kraut juice. Perfectly steamed bread on a polish sandwich, or sticky wet rye slices that fall apart into globs. Prices are in line with other local fast food outlets, and the location is convenient to the neighborhood. Outdoor seating is available next to the drive through, which means the sound of others ordering and car exhaust are also on the menu. Staff is, well, as mixed as the food quality. Sometimes it's a friendly kid who seems to enjoy his work, but sometimes it's a burnt out bored man going through the motions. Even the packaging style varies; a loosely wrapped dog that's attractive when opened, or wrapped so tight the steamed bun has lost all structure. I'll go back, occasionally and with a coupon. But this is not a place to rely on for consistently good food. read more

Two words: Filthy & Tasty For some reason this place disgusts me; maybe it's the 3 dollar special that gives you a variety of anything you could ever put chili on which can be pretty nasty....I'm shocked they don't have chili in the Tastee Freezes. Or maybe it's the mountains of salt piled on everything. Or maybe it's the questionable cleanliness that is overly visible from the car. And the "back room" where the food is kept, oh lord.... Maybe they don't have the money to train people how to clean and have "visual" appeal but who ever is teaching people how to make the fries, please do not change your ways. read more

I love Wienerschnitzel, but I don't think that Wienerschnitzel love me back though. I am infatuated with their chili cheese dogs since they are cheap and delicious. But man those visits to the toilet leave something to be desired. Even Gas Pills don't help with the bubbly digestion that I feel in my stomach :( I can't help it. This is probably the unhealthiest fast food chain around (with greasy KFC being a very close 2nd) yet I still eat here for some reason. I guess me and Wienerschnitzel have a love/hate relationship going on. read more

This Wienerschnitzel is an epic FAIL! Who the hell wants to come to a place where the cooks/cashiers are angry at life! One time I went and made a minor change in the drive through and the cashier thought it was the end of the world. She didn't even look me in the eye. The last time I was there I overheard the bald mexican cashier guy say "Hey holmes, the last customer forget der fries y0! Oh well, theyre bad, I guess we get to eat it! haha" --- Seriously??!! After getting my food the guy just closed the window and probably went to go smoke weed and eat free customer food. When I got home, the food tasted like crap! The fries were so hard we couldn't even eat them. I ordered 2 chili cheese fries and it took me 15 minutes to drive home, and the fries didn't even get soggy! I ordered hot dogs and they were all burnt like they had been sitting there under the lamp for 5 hours. What was funny is that I saw the Yelp sticker on the window that was all faded and looked like it was posted there 5 years ago. How in the hell do you love this place?? THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE. MOVE ON! read more

This is a weekly staple for my family still some of the best fries, and chili dogs are always good. You can easily feed a family of 4 for under 30 dollars. read more

Wienerschnitzel - Hot Dogs Near Me - La Mesa, California

Polish dog was multiple colors and that was before condiments and cheese . Dog was left in water all day long by the looks of it . Served tasteless imitation cheese and back stroking in mustard with a slathering helping of mayo. Fries tasted of 10 day old oil. Root beer was flat . The hot fudge sunday was very disappointing a little ice cream , little drizzle of hot fudge, and a little dab of whipped cream . The staff was drone like and very monotoned . I felt i interrupted thier stoner sunday , next time I'll make the trek to the location in santee, read more

Always reliable when my grandma wants a good old fashion mustard dog with onions. Thanks for the consistency Wienerschnitzel!

SICKENNING! If you they can't keep an eye on their lemon slices, you can only imagine what the bread, meats, etc. are like. I've contacted corporate about this and no response. A pregnant woman should not have to get sick over their (what was) delicious lemonade (at one point). This is the exact reason I will not be returning to Wienerschnitzel!!! read more

I have not had Wienerschnitzel many times before today. But when I had it today I was very disappointed not buy the food but by the shape of the building. The colors disgusted me. I had quite the appetite walking up and once I saw the piss yellow I wanted none of it. I will not be eating here ever again. read more

I just stopped by after late night Christmas shopping. I pulled up and the teller is very polite to me. I did the drive through. I had to beef chili dogs with fries and a corn dog. I waited for about 3 min. Everything that was served perfectly! Hot and awesome. Time I went is at 11pm, Monday night. read more

We went today for National Hot Dog Day! The special was Five chili dogs for $5.95. We had those and an order of chili cheese fries and everything was yummy! The quality of our order was very good and everything was hot. Take them up on the free corn dog offer and you won't regret it. read more

4 things wrong with my visit tonight. 1. The 2 Hispanic gentlemen were saying negative things in Spanish as I was at the window in the drive-thru. 2. None of the employees wore gloves nor did they wash their hands preparing my order. 3. One of my chili dogs that I ordered with cheese had no cheese on it. I took it back and mentioned it to a African American gentlemen working the walk-up window, and in response he gave me back talk, put cheese on it, and did not apologize for the mistake he had made. 4 lastly I did not recieve my receipt. read more

Good place long lines I love all the chilli foods couldn't eat it while I was pregnant but it's delicious. People have forgotten to give me a fork about 3 times when I order my chilli cheese fries that's annoying and frustrating but other than that good service read more

I'm such a huge fan of taco bells cinnabon delights so as soon as i saw that weiner started serving cinnabon gooey bites i thought i should give them a try. Wrong! They were nothing but super hard balls of flour cover in caramel and cream cheese. Never ordering again! read more

Oh weinerschnitzel, you were a staple growing up as a kid. I didn't even know that chili without beans existed until I met you! You pretty much know what you're getting when you come to this place. Its nothing fancy but it satisfies your craving for a chili dog. Service here is nice and the wait usually isn't too bad unless the people in front of you are ordering a ridiculous burger or something. Overall: -Pros: Usually fast service, friendly -Cons: Short Drive thru lane and people can come from both sides read more

This Wienerschnitzel location has been a staple of quick eats since I can remember. That shiny red roof, it's cement tables and umbrella patio, all have remained pretty much the same all these years. The food is nothing to write home about, but when you just have a craving for greasy over-salted fries, and cooked corn dogs - you better believe this is the spot! read more

Horrible service, after waiting in line for 15 minutes we get to the window wait another 10 minutes just to be asked to park on the side. They messed up and gave my order to someone else, so for their error we have to wait. Get it together people! read more
