I have empathy for the homeless, but this location has a serious issue. I was just begged to buy a meth-high dude an ice cream cone. He would not walk away from my car and made me feel extremely unsafe and sexually harassed. I'm not worried about the money I had to spend, but it is the simple fact that the guy taking my order heard this man scream to the speaker to add what he wanted and didn't do anything to help me. Charged me for something he knew wasn't mine and didn't remove the man from the area. There was no one in the car with me and by the small interaction I had at this location I can tell that this is a regular issue. As a young female it's unfortunate that I can't even go to get a simple treat without feeling unsafe. Do better. read more

I have to admit that I like hot dogs. I think you're either the kind of person who does or you're wrong. But seriously, set your expectations properly and don't bother coming here unless you want hot dogs. Better yet, get CHILI DOGS. With cheese and onions. Some places have "gourmet hotdogs"... What are those? They're still using "hot dog parts" to make them, right? I don't know how that works, but maybe it is the toppings that are "gourmet." Wienerschnitzel is not one of those places. Baseline set, right? OK, so if you're still with me, this is one of the bigger Wienerschnitzels that I have been in, and probably one of the cleanest as well. I think there were at most 3 people working in the place and no other customers when we showed up early one weekday evening. The girl at the counter was named Paloma (or, at least that's what I remember was on her name tag). She greeted us when we came in and patiently waited while my family decided what we each wanted -- uh, c'mon kids... HOT DOGS, like always. It's WIENERSCHNITZEL. Anyway, once we placed our order and paid, we got our drinks from the machine and sat down. A short while later, Paloma came out with a tray of food containing our order. Everything was hot (fresh fries!) and as we ordered it. I probably ate one more hot dog than I needed, but it was good. I didn't visit the restroom, so I can't comment on its state, but I can't really ask for anything else from a fast-food hot dog joint. read more

Surprise, surprise, surprise. I was surprised my dog was tasty. But I am not a hot dog fan unless at a pro sports game - cardinals or suns. Then, hot dogs go with the adventure, the event. And, maybe a polish sausage or bratwurst when visiting the Tempe Arts Crafts fair. But that's about it for hot dogs, especially when you discover what goes into the hot dog meat - yuck. And kosher is not much better. Anyway, I was surprised. read more

We had never been to a Wienerschnitzel before, and after this dinning experience we will probably not be coming back. We were going to Bookmans and thought this might be a good quick stop for something other then tacos and burgers. Watching some of the LA Angels baseball games on TV this past summer made me think of Wienerschnitzel and their 50 year celebration. After eating here, I cannot imagine how they lasted that long. The only other hot dog chain which I have eaten is Nathan's Famous. Even though Nathan's has it's own short comings, they at least have a product you might actually want to eat, other than at 2 o'clock in the morning. This is a hot dog place, plain and simple. They serve Oscar Meyer type hot dogs, though that might be a disservice to Oscar Meyer. There is something about their Original hot dog that seems lighter, or air filled. When I mentioned lighter, I mean that they weights next to nothing. The bun weights more. Combined with it's lack of taste, you wonder what you were eating. In a blindfolded test, you would never guess. For the record, we had couple of Original Hot Dogs, a Polish sandwich Meal deal (which was much better then the dogs), Jalapeno Poppers, Chili fries and two sodas which all amazingly came to $12 or so for the two of us. They also charge 25 cents extra for a second ranch dressing for the poppers. Six poppers and only one sauce? The employees behind the counter were fine. They were not a factor in on our decision to skip this place in the future. In the end, it was just the food that was tasteless and uninspiring. Admitedly, we did not try their Angus beef hot dogs. So maybe we were missing something from the Weinerschnitzel experience. Ehh! read more

we asked for a strawberry lemonade float and the manger said two strawberry lemonade floats and gave us a chips ahooy strawberry milkshake we did not ask for that and went back and he said they don't have floats then we called and asked for the man and he sai he is and we told him that we asked for a float and he gave us a milkshake and he said I was going to make you a float and you just drove off but he said he had no floats so we left so that mean he was lying to use. Bad service and the milkshake we did not asked for was very nasty. Don't recommend. read more

this place need to have better kids drink menu. No milk or apple juice, nothing but soda drinks. every other fast food places have milk or apple juice, why can't this place do that???? read more

Great service! Have not been here in years. I enjoyed my chili dog very much and the fries or even better than I expected, I love them crispy :-) read more

I love this place!!! Growing up this was my McDonald's & still is I wish there was more Wienerschnitzel's around in az especially in Phoenix read more

Cheap hot dogs with various options and incarnations (e.g., Chicago dog, pastrami dog, corn dogs). You can even get 5 chili dogs for $5, how ridiculously cheap is that? Everything tastes pretty greasy, as is par for the course with other fast food places. I tried the Angus pastrami dog, which came on a pretzel bun with mustard and pickle. There was a decent amount of pastrami on the hot dog, and the hot dog itself had a nice "bite" to it and was juicy. The pretzel dog looked a little smashed, but tasted OK. If I'm feeling like a real cheap skate this might be a good option if I want a hot dog, but with Ted's hot dogs close in this vicinity, I'd rather go to Ted's if I want quality vs. quantity/price. read more

The customer service was nice i Ordered 22$ worth of food an the buns on all the chili cheese dogs was hard an stale

For a chain that specializes in hot dogs, this was the wurst. The hot dogs are disgusting and the service Neanderthal. I would rather have the dirty water dogs from NY. Truly wretched. read more

Worst customer service ever. Ordered 2 chili dogs (no cheese because .40 for each hot dog for cheese is a rip off) and fries. Got to the window and sat in front of the window for quite a while. They served the person in back of me. I then demanded my money back. I told them to wait for this amount of time at 1:00 lunch time, was ridiculous. The woman working the counter blamed it on the fries and just shrugged. She should be fired. It was dogs and fries, not specialty sandwiches with salads. It's fast food and at lunch time, what's the matter with you folks. Don't waste your time here folks. read more

Everyone was nice and the food is good. The service was fast. The restaurant is clean.

There was only one vehicle in front of me but a guy still came out to my car to take my payment to speed things along. I thought that was cool and an extra touch of awesome customer service. The food is pretty good too. I always have to have chili cheese fries when I come here. Today I tried the Junkyard Dog. It was topped with grilled onions. Fries, mustard and chili. Messy but good. read more

After years of disappointing food at Der W, I never expected to write this review. I stopped in last night - a Saturday - at 8:15, hungry. I was just a mile away with an online coupon for a free bratwurst w/ any purchase and an Oktoberfest hankering for a taste of München. Well, what a nice surprise! I was shocked by the new innovative menu, which made it hard to choose. Round 1 comprised a standard Chili Dog and a Bratwurst w/ onions. The mystery meat dog still had its odd, "off" flavor, but that was eclipsed by the superb chili, which was plentiful. The Brat, however, was a Bavarian-style epiphany! It was plump, juicy, expertly spiced w/ perfect texture! It brought me back to Germany at first bite! Though not very authentic, the house-chopped onions were good, but the plain old, yellow, American ballpark-style mustard was out of place. I don't expect Süßer Senf, but please, corporate, if you offer premium items, give us SOME sort of brownish mustard! Round 2: A surprising Chicago Dog was really good. The relish wasn't neon green and the bun wasn't poppy seed-studded, but the hoped-for taste was there. It merits re-ordering. Brat #2 was w/ sauerkraut only - no mundane mustard. It went home for today's lunch w/ spicy Dijon mustard, Currywurst sauce, half-sour Kosher dill spears, & ein Maß Bier. What a great sausage! Plus, the manager was helpful and the diligent young guy at the counter was enthusiastically sincere in making my visit an excellent experience! Upshot? Enjoy some of these interesting menu items. Corporate: Continue this Bratwurst year-round, add "real" mustard choices, and, BTW, offer bacon on the Green Chile Chili Cheese Dog to add "Sonoran" flair for us Arizonans! read more

Simply put this place is disgusting. How any human can go through the drive-through and consume the garbage at these people put in front of you is beyond my comprehension. I had a friend drive me through the drive-through at this place and they gave us hotdogs that look like they were literally meant for actual dogs because it was disgusting. It smelled disgusting it looked disgusting and I actually took a bite and threw it out the window. The sooner this place closes the better off everyone else will be who enjoys actual food fit for humans. read more

Great wieners and sausages. Their fries are almost as good as the great McDonald's fries with lard. I miss fries fried in animal fat! Bring it back America. read more

Excellent service that was fast and delicious! Came in at 4:15 PM on Thursday and was met with kind prompt service. Got 1 chili cheese dog and 1 regular vanilla soft serve. Ice cream was 1.79 and much better than McDonalds and the chili cheese dog was excellent for the price at only 2.79. Definitely will come here again, great job weinerschnitzel! read more

I love Weinerschnitzel, but this location is FAIL. I went in with a coupon for lunch as I was working down by ASU that day. I placed my order to find out that it would have just been cheaper if I had ordered the combo instead, but then discovered that on top of it all the clerk rang me up wrong. This isn't usually a big deal, so I just asked that they correct my order to the pretzel bun chili dogs that I enjoy so very very much. Short version of the story was that the manager was rude and I had to swipe my card again for another 60-something cents for the pretzel bun upgrades. A good manager would have just done it for having screwed up my order but he copped an attitude with me as well. Maybe he mistook me for an ASU student trying to cause him trouble and not, you know, a paying customer. Who knows. Just make sure you speak slowly and make them read your order back to you (TWICE) and you should be fine. read more

This review is for jordyn. She's is super bubbly and nice and always offers me an alternative if I ask for something they don't have (I.e.rasperry iced tea.... offers the other tea flavors they have) keep it up Jordyn!!! Also they never get my order wrong, jordyn or anyone else's generally pretty quick service and food is always as expected. read more

I really wanted to give these guys 5 stars, but it's the price of things that made me go, "no, I can't." I've been dragged to many Weinerschnitzels in my lifetime because my friends have hot dog cravings and this one was IMPECCABLY clean. I mean, I wasn't scared. The floors were spotless, the tables gleamed, even the serving counter was immaculate. The place where food was put behind the counter was something my anal retentive self fell in love with - it was all sparkly clean, napkins piled neatly and in an orderly fashion. I nearly fainted. I even commented on it and the guy behind the counter said, "We want to have our customers see a clean place. Not a dirty one." Much love as I do have for the cleanliness, I think they made up for it in price. No deals, nothing. I'm used to seeing a dollar menu-ish type of thing. The ones in California have them and I should know because I see the promos for them on TV here in California. I was surprised to see that a chili dog combo (2 chili dogs, medium fries and drink) was $5.99. I should've persuaded my friends to hit costco and gotten the hot dog, drink AND an ice cream for a little over $3. Nice clean place, but dirty high prices for a fast food joint. read more

Back in the day Der Wienerschnitzel was consistently cheap at its very many locations but there aren't too many around anymore and you gotta be careful with your order and use coupons to eat at the prices its quality would mandate. Corn dogs are still 79 cents all the time, chili dogs are 99 cents only after 9pm without a coupon. The manager is the owner or is paid based on sales as he is kinda stinky about the coupons. You do have to double check your bill and order "properly" because the specials & coupons won't always ring up right and a combo won't be a combo unless you order it that way. It is clean, clean, clean.... it MUST be an owner/manager. Don't forget to ask for onions with the chili dog... who would ever dream you would have to do this? read more

Yup it's a wirnerschnitzel. Sub par fast food where you go when you want a hot dog or some cheap drive through. Not much else to really say read more

If you like chili dogs come here. Something about their chili dogs makes me happy. The chili comes temperature hot and it's so delicious. You can also get chili cheese fries. They offer corn dogs and regular hot dogs as well. This is a prime location in Tempe. It's located near the college and Tempe market place. The restaurant is always clean and the staff is nice. They make sure the tables are cleaned up and trash is thrown away. They always have deals going on so that is a bonus too. read more

First review ever for any restaurant. I can't hold back on this one. So dissatisfied. I ordered 2 chicago dogs and upon unwrapping them, both looked like they had a cup of water dumped on them immediately prior to bagging. I just can't even comprehend what actually happened. The bun was completely soggy and gross and it literally squeaked once when I bit into it because it was just all juice. One sport pepper on one of my dogs was more red than it was green (wtf?), and my tomato was about 80% rind and looked like it was sun-dried during peak 110 degree hours today. I'm mindblown that the dude at the drive thru even had the balls to serve these things. Portillo's is right across the street. Never go here for Chicago dogs. Ever. read more

Had my order repeated.5 times in the drive thru....and get the window to be told there is a wait on corn dogs.....why couldnt I just be told that during the 5 times you said my order read more

This is one of those restaurants that I had never actually seen until I moved to Arizona. It was one of those mythological places that I always heard or read about. Then I try it and find it's not so mythological but it does the trick. I have eaten at Wienerschnitzel a few times since moving here. It easily surpasses the typical fast food joints. I'll eat here over McDonald's or Burger King or Taco Bell any day of the week. The main drawback to Wienerschnitzel is that it's still a typical fast food joint. Here in Tempe there's other options for dogs that are much better. I can hit up Ted's or venture into Mesa for a Sonoran dog at Mickey's. Still, I do visit Wienerschnitzel because it's close and I love eating at a place called Wienerschnitzel. As pure fast food this is a good place to check out. read more

The manager/ owner took my order and he was awesome I ordered a Reese's shake with my chilli burger/ chilli dog combo, of course I upgraded to all beef hot dog. Anyways while waiting I realized they had a mint/Oreo shake and I asked if I could switch and he was super cool about it. Food was fresh, fries were perfect and fresh out of the oil. Very pleasant fast food experience, exactly what I wanted. read more

Excellent fast food and excellent service. These kids really work hard. I'd hire this entire staff. New cashier was slow but nice. She helped me I'm the bathroom. You guy working front never stopped working. Constantly working on drive thru then mopping the trash the cleaning the bathroom . Younger front girl came by my table and asked if she empty my trash! Amazing for fast food place. This owner/manager should be commended! Had the chili cheese tamale it was fire once I added jalapeños. read more

Wienerschnitzel - Hot Dogs Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

We landed at Sky Harbor and were picked up by friends who drove us straight to this restaurant for the chili dogs I've been craving for far, far too long. The closest Wienerschnitzel is now 6 hours north of us in Washington state (none in Oregon, sadly!!!!!). I order the canned chili very frequently, but hadn't eaten authentic chili dogs since the Vancouver Washington restaurant shut down. Best meal we had while in Phoenix! read more

Ok, we stopped in for their "special" which is 3 chili burgers, 3 chili dogs and 3 small fries. We asked if we could substitute and get 2 chili burgers, 2 chili dogs, 2 corn dogs and 3 small fries. The cashier said he didn't know but would enter it to see. Good news!! Yes, all of that for $9.99. The food was honestly only 3 stars... Which of course is just basic... Not bad, not great. The reason for the 4th star is the shift manager TONY. He was very personable, checked in us 2 times to see if we needed/wanted anything else. Mind you, this is a fast food establishment. The counter area was immaculate, the dining area was SPOTLESS, the floor was clean and the restrooms were very clean. Generally when a restaurant is this clean it is a direct reflection of management and their commitment to having a well run shop. Hats off to Tony and his crew in this regard. The food, as I said earlier was only so so, but the overall experience was exceptional. We got out corn dog, chili dog fix so we probably won't be back for a while, but I wanted to share what I felt about superlative service. read more

Wienerschnitzel - Delish - Hot Dogs Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Sadly, I'm giving this place one star and an explanation why it is only getting one star. The Manger/operator guy. Sure, the food here isn't all that bad. Probably a half a notch or so higher than most of the hot slop fast food you can get for lunch. Most of the crew members are pretty attentive, don't seem to be meth addicted, and I see them cleaning the tables on a regular basis. Looks like the crew changes over quite often, and I know why. My beef is not with the crew members, oh no. Not with the food or cleanliness of the store. Nope. The Manager guy, the guy who looks like a real pussy version of John Leguizamo. This guy ruins about every trip I have to this joint. That is my problem with this joint. Elaboration will proceed now. This guy is without a doubt one of the biggest assholes I have ever encountered in the fast food industry. Actually, one of the biggest assholes period. What a douche bag. Seems like any time I have a coupon, this guy will literally butt in the middle of the order, give me a ration of shit and do about anything possible not to use it. Seriously, what is it, 30 cents? I had a store coupon that was on a tray liner a while ago and this nutsack got in the middle of the order, cancelled it and refused to let the coupon be used. I asked why and he said it was not legit (why was it on the tray liner then fuckhead?) I checked the menu, they would have lost 10 cents. Lady taking my order after P.J.L. (pussy John Leguizamo) walked away pretty embarassed said "sorry" Not her fault. Never saw her working there after then, was probably tired of that guys shit. I don't blame you. Last trip here, they have promos on their drink cups for free shit. Awesome. We all know this is the garbage that costs them nothing but I am a sucker for something free. On my trip before the last, I got one for a free corndog. SCORE! I cash it in on my last trip, and the guy ringing up the order said it would be on a different ticket. No sweat, I could give a shit less as long as I get my corndog. Go to get my order, ask where the corndog is. P.J.L. butts in the middle of the order, says "This is your order, this is what you have" and was a fucking prick about it. Me, the customer. Yanks the receipt out of my hand, gives me an attitude about it. Who the fuck talks to a customer like that, even at a low rent fast food joint? Fuck you. Seriously. The guy who took my order tried to explain the situation and dicknose literally looks at him, puts his hand in front of the guys face, and says "ssssshhhhhh" and snaps his fingers the same way I do to my dogs to keep them barking or eating drywall. Who degrades their employees like that? All he was trying to do was explain my free item was on another ticket. Instead of listening, he made a complete asshat out of himself. It was a corndog, what does that cost you anyway, about 12 cents in batter, a stick, and a combination of horse eyeballs and badger penis meat? Dude (cashier guy, tattoo on your arm), tell that guy to get fucked and get a better job. No one deserves that shit. I am actually ashamed I didn't say something for you, I truly am. What would have normally gotten a decent review is what it is. My rant speaks for itself. One shithead ruins it for the ones working for him. For the ones working there, I will pray for you. You need it. P.J.L., get out of there and become a pimp in Tijuana, they need midget controlling assholes over there. You would do great at that. read more

Several months ago swung by for several hot dogs and three orders of fries. Went through the drive thru and when I got home my order was short. Drove 20 min back to the location and was lucky enough to get attitude from the night manager ( Martine ). He was disgusted that I was angry about the situation. I finally just gave the all the food back and asked for a full refund. He took the food and balled it up and slammed it into the trash can by the counter. He made sure to bill me for the coke I forgot at home. Horrible customer service from this member of their management team. The worst part of all, I contacted Wienerschnitzel 24hr customer service later that evening. The rep was very sorry for my experience and stated she would pass it along to all parties. She informed me I would be contacted as well asap by an operation rep. Three months later not even an email. Horrible customer service. read more

We came as a dine-in and the cashier taking our order is the same one taking the drive-thru orders, so while ordering our food we kept getting interrupted. We went for the classic hot dogs and (unknowinglt) they since added a new beef hot dog which we picked. We weren't given the option for cheese so we received shredded cheese. After realizing the all beef all hotdog wasn't the original, we asked and were told about the original hotdog was different so we ordered another hotdog and also asked about the cheese, we were told it was the original cheese was american sliced cheese (in which we weren't given that option). So after we finally thinking we got our "original" hotdog, it had some bad tasting wheat bun??? Yuck... we were disappointed with the changes and won't be eating here again. read more
