Okay, it seems weird for me to review a true franchise like Wienerschnitzel, but there's a really good reason, so stick with me on this one. There are a lot of childhood experiences that people revisit later as adults, and I am wondering, is Wienerschnitzel as good as I remember?
The question of Wienerschnitzel's food quality comes down to some very poignant aspects of my life, and one of them is sure to overlap with a lot of other people.
First, there's my love for ball park hotdogs. Not the brand, but hotdogs that are served at an actual stadium event. When you can't get to a stadium, what options are available for high quality hotdogs? In this regard, Wienerschnitzel fits the bill.
They have a few variations on hotdogs, Polish, Original, and All Beef. I went with the All Beef version. I ordered two dogs, Chicago and the Junkyard Dog (another childhood S/O to the WWF). Both of the items come fully prepared with the fixings, so if you're not familiar with the different hotdog styles across America, you may want to brush up before the visit.
The hotdogs were both great, but most notably the Chicago dog. This stands out for me because I've had this particular flavor, in Chicagoland, at Portillos, so the bar was pretty high.
Although, the selection of all beef hotdogs leads me to the second aspect of my review, value. As someone who's been looking for a suitable hotdog stand for a while, I admit that I've been frequenting 7 Eleven for a while. Their Big Bite hotdogs are always on special, and at the time of this review, they are 2/$3.49.
The dogs at 7 Eleven don't come prepared, but they are the same, if not better, quality. You won't have the same amount of toppings available, but it's a legit threat, and probably the closest to the stadium style for which I'm always searching.
Wienerschnitzel would have lost the value category if it wasn't for the Crowd Favorites section of the menu. The three and five piece hotdog, fry, and corn dog combos simply can't be beat. If I had a car full of kids (which I don't by the way), it would be a pretty hard deal for me to pass up. The three hotdogs, fries, and corn dogs are $14, making it less than $5/child. Great bargain.
Lastly, there's the environment. All I can really say is, it's still a Wienerschnitzel. So if you are looking for a drive through hotdog stand on the cheap, oddly enough, Wienerschnitzel is still as good as I remember.
I had a free coupon on my phone for a free chili dog...which is Gold to a homeless man like myself...
Good food
Good service a little wait but your food is nice and hot when you get it but the main street makes it loud and constant traffic but it's good
