I felt like having a good American corn dog and chili fries at my favorite fast food restaurant of all time. It has been there for years near Japantown and across from Foster's Freeze. You get a good deal with Wienerschnitzel's corn dogs, hot dogs with or without chili cheese fries. I ordered up a corn dog and chili cheese fries. They hit the spot for what I hungered for. The chili cheese was thick so it didn't sog up the fries. I ate up my corn dog before I could take a picture of it but I have a picture of the chili cheese fries. read more

I just got a cheeseburger meal and the ladies working the night shift did an excellent job! Fries were fresh and ridiculously delicious, burger had my taste buds exploding with flavor. And they were so fast and sweet. I will definitely be back! read more

We tried hot dogs and chili loaded fries. For the cost of food it was good. We were at nearby play park and needed quick bites and fast food was the answer. Perfect for game time foods, take a to-go and go watch a game with friends or family. read more

if you order more then one corn dog they try to stuff it in one slide holder. You ask for ketchup they give you 2. Like seriously no need to be that cheap. Not going ever again. read more

Corn dog was like frozen and reheat. The only good thing here is Chicago dog. It's not the best but for that's price, I'm happy. I don't like the sausage sandwich, taste like a dead bug with rotton green apple smell. read more

I saw a friend try the fish & chips here and it made me really curious if it was any good... Turns out? It's not too bad. For a hot dog fast food chain, they actually didn't disappoint me. I don't think I would recommend it to friends though. The fish kinda reminds of me the freezer fish sticks that I would eat afterschool as a kid... which is somehow more nostalgic than a turn off??? If you're looking for a quick and cheap alternative to cure your fish & chips cravings, this is not too bad. The batter wasn't too oily or thick, and I love the fries here typically! Paired well with the fish. The tartar sauce was creamy and tangy! Pretty flavorful for dipping both the fries and fish. The staff here are also so sweet and friendly! KEEP IN MIND: there is no drive thru, but they do have a good amount of parking. read more

Wow! I can't believe I'm the first to review!!! I even added the business on Yelp! Woo hoo! Then I noticed I wasn't actually the first one. I just had a hard time finding it. Why Yelp? Why? After my man and I had a spontaneous date at Devine Cheese, we stopped by at this place since her girl wanted hot dogs for dinner. We were full from all the cheese plate and wine, but I wanted a corn dog. When I was eight, I would go with my sister to to her tennis practice, and afterwards we would go to a Weinershnitzel for a corn dog. I remember it was the best thing ever when you're eight! Thirty-five years later I still enjoyed a corn dog from Weinershnitzel. Was it nostalgia that made me like the corn dog so much? Or was it the crispy outside with a tender hot dog inside that got me excited?!? Or maybe it was the combination of salty meat and slightly sweet batter? Whatever it was the corn dog was highly pleasant to the taste. A delicious irony. read more

Weinerschnizal will always have a place in my heart. Artery clogged, but in my heart nonetheless. I used to hoard coupons from the junk mail when I was a broke high school and college student, and this was cheap fast food that would hit the spot. The chili cheese dog + chili cheese burger + chili cheese fries was my jam for like $6. I think the coupon and pricing hasn't changed either. Good for them. Nowadays, I'm not sure if my pallet has evolved, or if Weinerschnizal had gotten more salty over the years, but I can feel my feet and hands swell up when I bite into their chili dogs. It's probably been a good 10+ years since I've been to the 'Schnitz, so maybe a little from column A and B. Good drunk munchies at the very best. If I was craving a hot dog, I'd probably try across the street at Foster Freeze for a little higher quality. I will say that there chili cheese fries, as overly salty as they taste, are still some of the best in the game. Just drink lots of water after. read more

Honestly a great meal for a fast food joint! I ordered the junkyard hot dog and chili cheese fries. The junkyard hot dog was a 4/5 - pretty standard hot dog with chili, mustard, diced onions, and French fries on top. The chili cheese fries were bomb - 5/5. I'd totally get the chili cheese fries again! Overall a good fast food stop. The total came out to be $7.53 including tax which was pretty cheap! read more

While the worker was packing my order, I noticed she was not wearing gloves and she was touching my burger with her bare hands. And while waiting for my fries to be done cooking, she is eating the fries herself...... I normally don't like to leave negative reviews, but I really couldn't believe that I witnessed that while watching my food being pack. I know it's "fast food and what could you expect" but I don't expect my food to be touched with bare hands and seeing the worker eating from the fries that I am about to purchase. read more

Filthy and none of the employees speak English. The ones that do are angry and not helpful. Tried to ask the manager for help but she barely spoke English. Worst Wienerschnitzel ever! read more

Very clean appearance. Nice location. But the overweight asian lady at the cash register was so rude to us for no reason at all. We were polite and pleasant the entire time. I love wienerschnitzel food but i'll never come back to 4th Street location. They need to fire the fat asian lady. She too old to be working high school jobs. Probably why she so angry to the customers. Just saying. read more

This is our first order from this place, and we only ordered regular hot dogs on pretzel buns, corn dogs, and plain fries. Standard Wienerschnitzel mustard hot dog on a pretzel bun: this was easily one of the best fast food hot dogs I've ever had, and I'm German so we eat a lot of sausages and hot dogs that are very high quality. The pretzel bun is, hands down, the BEST pretzel bun I've ever had from any restaurant or fast food place! Every other one I've ever had was disappointing, but this was exactly the right pretzel flavor and soft texture needed for a hot dog. Corn dog: well, how can you screw up a corn dog? By buying a box of Costco frozen corn dogs, baking them in your restaurant oven, and laying them under a heat lamp until they are downright SAD. These are not those, but most fast food corn dogs are exactly that -- crappy cardboard made for children's tastes. These corn dogs are about the right size, not huge, the breading was a little sweet, just a hint, not loaded with honey or sugar, and they were obviously deep fried as they should be. Good stuff and crunchy breading on the stick, again, as it should be. Fries: to be honest, with the corn dogs and pretzel dogs being as great as they were, the fries could have been horrible and this still would have been a 5 star review -- it's a hot dog place, not a fry place! And they looked like sad, undercooked fries, a bit too white, but after eating a mouthful I was surprised they were darn good. The way I measure fries as good or not is if you can eat and enjoy them with no condiments at all, and these fries met that standard. Not the best I've ever had, but definitely good. Bottom line, if you want a few hot dogs that basically set the standard in the fast food industry, Wienerschnitzel is it, and this location was better than most, meaning 5-star. Fast, hot, and great tasting, if you don't like the hot dogs from this place, you don't like hot dogs. If you rate this place less than 4 stars, whatever you call a hot dog is, well, NOT. read more

I ordered a burger and it was okay at best. I normally don't eat hot dogs so perhaps their hot dogs are better than the burger. The milk shake they have there are pretty good but to be honest you could just go across the street and get a better one from frosty freeze. read more

Chili cheese dogs and Chili cheese fries are bomb. Been going to Wienersnitzel since I was a kid, love it!

Wienerschnitzel's is always 5 stars for me. Every so often, gotta have a good dog or two or three. Today, had a chili cheese dog, a Chicago dog, and a Junkyard dog, with some fries. I was in heaven! read more

The first time I had Wienerschnitzel was when I was in my late 20s. Nothing against it, I just didn't grow up on Wienerschnitzel. I do like hot dogs though, but I admittedly was skeptical about fast food hot dogs. I mean, how good could they really be? Well, check this out... I never knew what I was missing! The Wienerschnitel off 4th street is the neighborhood spot. There's no drive-through, so the all the foot traffic outside makes the place looking like it's cracking all the time. The wait is considerably quick, and I haven't had any issues with customer service. The food at Wienerschnitzel is legit. Dare I say that their fries are more superior than McDonald's?! I absolutely think so! You can upgrade to a polish dog if you're feeling adventurous, and Wienerschnitzel has specialty dogs on the menu. My personal favorite is the Oktoberfest brat with sauerkraut and mustard. I like how the buns are steamed instead of baked in the oven or grilled on the stove. The steamed bun holds together well, and the texture and firmness of the steamed bun are what make Wienerschnitzel's hot dogs really stand out to me. I highly recommend upgrading to a pretzel bun, which is steamed as well. Lastly, the corn dogs are solid. The breading is nice and crunchy, and the dog is perfectly cooked inside. read more

This is a good place to go to for a late night snack. Their standard hot dogs are delicious and satisfying, although on the small side...in other words you can finish one in 3-4 bites. They have mustard, chili, kraut, chili cheese dogs in addition to the more substantial beef and polish varieties. Recently fish and chips have been added to the menu. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised at how good they were...not greasy but hot and crispy. In addition to sodas, you can order shakes and frosties to top your meal off. The main drawback is that there's no dining area, so you eat in your car or take it to go. read more

Solid corn dog but fries were a bit soggy. Also it's in a sketchy part of town. We came here at 10 pm for a snack and there were some drunk guys hanging around. My husband didn't feel comfortable with me going outside so he made me stay in the car and stood close by where he can still see me. Maybe next time I'll come in broad daylight instead. read more

They always get our order wrong. We have to double check every time. Thats all I have to say but Yelp is making me type more words so here I am typing more words. read more

This is the more or less japantown edition of the wienerschnitzel fast food chain. They have their own smallish not very well paved parking lot which seems to be more then sufficient for the business. There is no drive thru or inside seating so this is totally a eat it and beat it kinda joint. There is outside seating both shaded and unshaded concrete picnic table thingys, which is not at all a bad choice if the weather is good. The menu is burgers, a variety of hot dog choices including something vaguely like polish and Chicago style, and fried chicken sandwiches (also known as schnitzel-hence the name). Soda fountain drinks, shakes and soft serve ice creams. I actually like the burgers-I think they are better then mcd's or the king of the burgers. The fried chicken sandwiches are decent if you don't get the god awful barbecue sauce, and the hot dogs are okay. Especially the chili and Chicago dogs. Note that the Chicago dogs are more like Chicago style dogs as opposed to the souped up righteousness that is a true Chicago dog, but for the price they are good enough. So since there is no inside seating, typical three star fast food options and a crappy parking lot, why the four stars you say? Well, this place puts the fast into fast food. The only possible way to get it quicker would be to have it ready before you order. They're working on that I'm sure. Also yeah, it's greasy fast food, but for five bucks or so I can get a sandwich, chili fries, a hot dog (with chili. 'Cause that's how I roll.) and a drink. When I gots the hunger all that adds up to awesome. read more

Hot dogs are fresh, shakes are great. Also ordered a corn dog. Everything was pretty good. Wait was less than 5 mins.

Unsatisfied with my burger across the way, and still slightly hungry I made my way over here. When was the last time I had a corn dog and curly fries together? high school. So that's what I got but I made it the mini corn dogs. Straight out of the fryer that shit is delicious. Took me straight back to the days with no real responsibility and easier times. Food memories are quite powerful arent they? read more

Place says it closes at 12 went to get food at 10:45pm and they were "closed". Very unprofessional and false advertisement. Definitely will be taking it up with corporate, especially since the employees thought it was funny that I told them that google and their physical sign says closes at 12am everyday. And that I just wanted some food. Good stuff Wienerschnitzel, my family has been coming here for years. Smh. No more. read more

It's bad enough they get my order wrong regularly, but still disappointing when their posted hours say they close at midnight on Saturday, and when you get there, they've closed at 11. At least change your hours sign read more

Yo Doggy I was craving Hot Dogs tonight . So I stopped here I ordered Chili Cheese Fries,Mini Corn dogs and 2 Angus Beef Chicago Dogs. The Counter Girl was a Cute Latina so that's a plus and she got my order right . This location seems to be pretty busy. I got my Grub 10 minutes later. And Hot Diggitty Dog it was good it definitely hit the spot as I'm heading into another lost and productive weekend. Got to make some Freedom Paper to pay Uncle Sammy. read more

No complaints here! This location is close to my work so once in a while ill treat myself. They serve pretty quick so It doesn't take too much of my lunchtime. Once my co-worker and I called in our milkshake order since we only had 15 for our break. The lady was cool she took the order over the phone we arrived and she had them ready in the fridge to keep from melting. We got back to work with plenty of breaktime left. read more

OMG! Drop corn dogs on the floor and try to serve it? Your gonna get folks sick serving such a NASTY TREAT. I watched in silent disbelief as I watched the gal drop and pick the frozen corn dogs off the dirty floor, toss it in the fryer, wait for it to cook and then toss it in a bag to hand to me oblivious to the fact that I had witnessed the bad deed. I declined it and said loud enough for the person next to me to hear (he was also getting a corn dog) that there is no way I can consciously feed my child food that was picked up off their dirty floor and that I would like a refund. No comment or eye contact but the register was opened and I was given my money back. I know stuff like this happens all the time, I just wish that folks in the food industry would realize the cost of food is nothing compared to the cost of making someone really sick! read more

I've probably said this before (in fact, I'm sure I have)... but it really does seem to me this time that God or some higher supreme being whatever put this restaurant chain on Earth just for me. It's got everything I could ever possibly want to eat, and MORE. Chili cheese dogs? Yes, please. Italian sausage with onions and peppers? I'll have one of those. Chicago-style dogs? I'm in CA, but sure! I'll take one of those too. Hot dog topped with pastrami, Swiss cheese and a pickle? You have got to be kidding me... that is like a dream come true! The fries kicked ass too, and even after all that (and a soda!), I was still hungry for more. There are no Wienerschnitzels on the east coast, but I really hope that someone rectifies this situation, and fast. I even seriously considered opening up my own franchise here in Boston just so I can eat more of their yummy goodness (but alas, I have no business sense or capital to start). I think the best thing I could possibly say to my parents would be, "I know I went to college and all that, but my life's passion is to sell hot dogs to the masses!" I'm sure that would go over well. read more

Listen. Listen. I need you to understand the lengths I went to find this place. It's like a trip down memory lane, lined with chili cheese. 5 miles doesn't seem like a lot, but when you're HANGRY, every millimeter counts. Bless you, Wieberschitzel for being actual fast food when I needed you. I've never liked your outdoor seating, but cain't no cold wind blow hard enough to keep from from scarfing your food down in front of everyone on the corner of Fourth and Taylor. Another plus (besides all the chili cheese options), the bathroom is clean. I see you DW, stand up! If you like it, then throw some chili cheese on it. read more

My family ALWAYS comes to this Wienerschnitzel, ALWAYS! Today was a completely awful experience for us. We had coupons which we knew were expired but asked the cashier if she will let us use them. She said no to two of the coupons but yes to one of them which happens to be a buy one, get one free deal. When we were finally ready to order, a different cashier helped us which happened to be the manager. This manager was VERY UNPROFESSIONAL and told us the coupon was expired and cannot be honored. We explained that the other cashier said it was OK to use. So this "manager" proceeds by telling us that she doesn't care what the other person said 'cause she's the manager and what she says goes. We disagreed with her and asked this manager to confirm with her employee what she had told us. The other employee said that she told us the BOGO coupon CAN be used by us. After that, she still didn't allow us to order with the darn coupon and accused us of trying to pull a "fast one" on her. IGNORANT. Ugh, I can't believe this person. We left without ordering anything and decided to go to McDonald's instead. I know this was just a REALLY BAD experience today and I can't say for sure that we will never come back here ('cause it's the closest one to our house) and is safe to come here even late at night. But OMG, the nerve of this manager. Hey Ms. Manager, you need serious customer service training! read more

I asked for the number to the manager or someone in charge of customer service due to how rude Imelda the Filipino girl in the front was. She looked miserable, was rude since before we walked up, when we were asking about the meal and an add on also when we asked for some waters she literally slammed them towards me with the stank face she's had this entire time we've been here. From order to delivery she's been horrible, I came for a lunch date with my mother in law brother in law and son her attitude made me so irritated my appetite was shot. It's sad how many people's moods she probably kills just by having such a poor attitude and having to interact with her when ordering. read more
