Wienerschnitzel

So… here it goes. I’m going to give this place 3 solid stars and here’s why. 1^st we know what food is bad for you so if your coming here it’s not for the healthy choices. I have been coming to Wienerschnitzel since I was a little girl and the menu items really haven’t changed that much. The chili dog, chili cheese dogs and corn dogs have always been good. And I’ve never had a problem with any of their food selection. So if your counting calories then this is not your location of choice. But if you want to indulge in a childhood memory that is just like old times then come on over and have a corn dog on me! But if I’m not there that day then pay for it yourself…

The food was great, but Alex had very poor customer service. After nonchalantly taking our order, he hands half of our order to us; then when we ask of our other items he points to the frier with an attitude. My mother thanked him for everything and he shuts the glass without responding. If that is not a job he wants to do then, by all means, find another and don’t take it out on customers! Thank goodness another location is on San Pablo.

When you need a dog, they provide. And the price… can’t find a more affordable place!

Favorite place to get my fries & nuggets. Although there is long queue the staffs are always fast at work and don’t me wait for more than couple of minutes.

No hand wash between money exchange and food handling. Hair down to waist, not up… Not cool. I hope I dont get sick… food was thrown in the bag. The food was really good and hot though!

My God! This place still exists! Amazing!
Old memories tend to cloud taste buds, but hot dos and ice cream seemed fine to me!
Still, minus a star for perpetuating the myth that «wienerschnitzel = hot dog».
(A wienerschnitzel is basically a pounded veal cutlet, breaded and pan-​fried in butter. It is a traditional dish from Vienna.)

Wienerschnitzel Is my favorite fast food… Hot dogs are awesome, and everyone should enjoy them. The only downside to this one is the seating. There’s outdoor only, which is fine for 9 months of the year, but when it rains it’s out and eating a chili dog in your car is risky at best! Plus it’s right next to the drive through, so now and then you get a beat up old car with smoke pouring out of the exhaust interrupting your meal. I just wish there were more around, so I could find one with a better seating arrangement.

Their toy says «this is not a toy» on the bag. A girl found a hair in her hot dog. Their toy is a key chains thingy for your car. All 4 year olds have cars. Their food is good though.

I miss the chili dogs/​fries now that i’m living in the city. I donno what it is about this place. Maybe since I can’t get it when I want, it makes me want it more. Kinda like distance makes the heart grow fonder type of deal

It’s alright I guess. I mean, hot dogs. Meh. It’s in a convenient location I suppose, right next to the Police station. Sometimes the dogs are just what you need. Sometimes you don’t realize you didn’t want one until you’ve already eaten 3. Gross. The part that bugs me is that I don’t know where to go to the bathroom. Is there one? I’ve always been confused about that. And what is this building? did someone cut a house in half?

Good $ 5 Specials. Recession lunch Lol.

I love the food here and they have good especially there chili cheese fries

I had their Italian sausage which lacked flavor. Their jalapeño poppers was dry and lacked flavor. Prices are cheap but food doesn’t taste very good. I’m pretty sure I could have made a better hot dog at home.

Original Chili Dog in standard bun = 300 calories, 4 g. fat, 1130 mg. sodium, and 31 carbs.
Me and my kid bought the Family Pak = 6 Original Chili Dogs & 3 Regular Fries.
What can be so bad, can be so really good! (burp) Excuse me.

3 words: Chili Cheese Fries
How can one not love their cheerful giant yellow gabled roof and the coolness of driving through the middle of the building for to-​go orders on the run?
Sure it’s fast food and not good for you but for me this place brings me back to the nostalgia of childhood on the rare occasion that I come here.

I am proud to say that I LOVE this place. It is probably helped that I now live far, far away but I always swing by when I am in town.
My order consists of one chili cheese dog and fries. Yummy dog and THE BEST fast food fries ever! My kids like the corn dogs and devour the chili cheese fries. And cheap to boot!

Fast food just like it was back in the day. Chili dogs, corn dogs, chili-​cheese fries… all kinds of childhood favorites.
Yes, I know… it’s not gourmet and it’s probably really bad for you. Regardless, there’s something about this place that brings back my childhood and gives me pleasure. As I recently mentioned to a fellow Unilocaler, I enjoy Round Table pizza, but don’t hold it to the same criteria I do for more upscale gourmet pizzas. The same goes for hot dogs here.
I’ve noticed that they’ve had a lot more specials going lately and the service here has always been good too.
Easy to be critical, but this place makes me happy and I’m glad it’s here.

When did they drop the Der?
Am I imagining, or did long ago was this called Der Wienerschnitzel?
The orange logo looks the same, the little tiny Ski Hut building looks the same.
Hmmmmmm?
(Don’t mistake that expression for Mmmm! It would be misguided!)
And what does that mean, exactly, Wienerschnitzel?
(And does it mean the same without the «Der»)
(Bigger question, does it taste the same with the Der?)
I think loosely, it means «Pigs in a Blanket»… or the equivalent. No, not because your pigging out. It’s like that Tuesday lunch menu at your old elementary school.
Whatever you call this place, they have a bigger menu than you might think. I thought it was all hot dogs. You know, Chicago style, Chili Dog, etc.
Nein, Nein, Fräulein!
They have variety, like Corn dogs! (less than a buck, stick included!) … And they have a special promotion for Corn Dogs!
You can win $ 10,000 just eating Corn Dogs!
It is officially called «Eat it, read it, win it!» $ 10,000 prize!
(Uh, you read der stick, dummkopf!)
Actually, I had a fish wrap thingy!
Yes, it was like a Morton’s fish stick (actually better, because the batter was better) stuck inside a flour tortilla wrap, with white sauce (tartar would be stretching it) and lettuce shreds. It was actually not half bad.
No wonder they had to drop the «Der», what with this Mexican styled Fish Stick burrito thing, much like a McD breakfast burrito.
Now I know where the «Der» went!
In the small type below the Wienerschnitzel on the window, it has…
wait for this now…
«Der“licious!
And you can drive thru that little Ski Hut and order too!
«Der» wunderbar!

This is where people in hell must go to eat.
Seriously. Pretty sure I saw Saddam there joking about how his wiener looked like a scud missile. Or something like that.
All I know is that this is the kind of hot dog nightmares are made of. Apparently they only use the byproducts of evil animals for their hot dogs because I have never tasted anything so bad.
The hubby didn’t even eat one of his two chili dogs and I ate ¾ of my hot dog before saying «enough». I was hoping I would puke but it just wouldn’t come back up so I was forced to feel the evil manifesting inside of me like some demon posessing my soul.
And I paid $ 14 for this!
I’m afraid my future children will be permanently scarred with third eyes and the mark of Satan due to my single dining experience here.
Don’t go unless you are accompanied by an old priest and a young priest, some holy water and a truckload of Pepto.

As a tween, I would go to the schnitz across the street after school from time to time, reveling in crap-​tastic corn dogs and coronary-​inducing chili cheese fries.
On one fine Sunday morning, I went back to the schnitz of yesteryear for a twirl around memory lane.
I shall never return…
As I pulled up to the drive-​thru, the woman at the window looked at me with the kind of disgust usually reserved for people who club baby seals. She hardly spoke two words to me as we made our transaction, but I didn’t care. I had to high-​tail it outta there to get my grub on.
I tried two new «limited time» menu items, the Italian sausage dog and reuben. Big mistake. Within an hour or so, I could feel somethin’ swimmin down below. I won’t divulge details. You get it.
Anyhoo, I’m not sure if this experience is indicative of all Weinerschnitzels, but I surely won’t be back to this one. My go-​to comfort food is forever tainted.
