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
Food is fresh, fries are hot, prices are not that bad. Drive through moves really fast. Great specials with coupons always running. Definately a great change up from burgers. Reccomend that you try.
If you're taking to go, make sure you check your order is correct before you leave. Late night crew is especially egregious when it comes to messing up your order.
UPDATE: This location has heard the feedback and the last couple times I came through late night they got my order perfectly. I still check but so far so good.
I got the coconut lemonade. It tasted really good, like a piña colada. It was super sweet though.
The restaurant finally opened having been closed near 2 years from a devastating fire. It's new and all shiny and they serve all my favorites. There isn't but a couple Weinerschnitzel stores in San Jose left. My family has always enjoyed hotdogs, and this spot is our favorite. The grandchildren get a kick out of the shape of the building. We visit whenever the urge comes. The cost is still affordable and the food tasty.
We live in Oregon, try and make a trip down once or twice a year, and we are always looking for a time to eat at Wienerschnitzel. Childhood favorite and always good 👍
Kids argue with I come here to have me 1 chili cheese dog and 6 little corn dogs sometimes fries and water sit in the parking lot and enjoy general hospital, no matter what I like this place.
After I picked my boys up from school, we stopped here to have a small treat - 2 chocolate sundaes and 1 hot fudge sundae. Instead of going straight home, we decided to sit and enjoy the day with each other. We're constantly moving, whether we're in school, working, or both. We never really stop to smell the roses, as they say. That's what we did - immersed in this urban environment, those sundaes took us back to when we lived out in the country, away from the light and noise pollution. Away from technology - Those simple, beautiful times. The breeze picked up, my youngest yelled at the air for blowing his napkin away, and the sun shone down upon us as though lighting up this moment to be remembered for years to come. If there were a meaning to life, it would be to make the most out of every moment no matter how small and to remember that there is magic in even the tiniest drop of rain.
The napkins were so crisp I swear they ironed them. Jalapeño poppers were just right and the staff were friendly and personable.
My visits here in November 2014 were great. Was on vacation from Texas, where W's are far and few between. Corn dogs with chili cheese were the bomb. Same with the chili cheese dogs as well. Many dog varieties to choose from, and they'd even 'customize' for ya if you wanted something of the menu. They were very accommodating, which was a plus.
The lady working there was extremely nice in fact most of the time they are. The food was mildly warm. My 4 stars are for people working late in that area and having to dealing with a lot. The food 2 stars -it's fast food.
Great service. I was lucky and drove in when no one else was in line! Then drivers started coming in behind me....Bought a chili dog and root beer float - Yum!
Best chili in the world to me. Its definitely a weekly craving that i always fulfill. The new Cheese Burger is so wonderful too. Friendly staff that always suggest items to try. Will definitely recommend to everyone.
I like how they freshly make the classic cheeseburgers when you order them honestly way better than a jumbo jack or McDonald's cheeseburgers not gonna say they are better than In and Out but they are a close tie in my book. And the large fries in a large cup are awesome and enough for two people if you like sharing but I love to munch on them so I don't share lol 😆
