this place is great. casual, walk-up to order kind of spot. on their menu they have some premade combos you can selection from and decide if you want a burger, hot dog, or sausage. They also have amazing french fries. My husband and I did the black and blue burger and the k-town fries (the BEST!!!!). would definitely be back if in the area again! read more

FLX Wienery - dog, burger, k-town fries. - Beer Bar Near Me - Dundee, New York

We loved this place. It was much bigger on the inside than we expected from the road. From the moment we walked in, it was a good visit. We were shown the menu and how to order (order at the counter and your name is called when your food is ready). We loved the fact they had Pappy just waiting for us to order at check out. That certainly was a nice surprise! Our dogs were really good. However, the over the top item was the poutine. Oh my!!! Better yet, the chef told me how it was made to get its amazing flavor. We will definitely make this part of our trip when visiting the area in the future. read more

Was really excited to try this place - great reviews and recommended by a friend - unfortunately, the burger was legitimately rancid and caused illness amongst my party. Great fries but definitely not worth eating rotten food. Never seen my dad not finish a burger before but there's a first time for everything I suppose. read more

The menu is huge and a bit overwhelming when you're trying to decide on what to eat. I would have given this 4 stars, but with the staff - it definitely bumped it up to 5 stars. The menu is on the wall, but I also think you can get a paper copy to sit down and read it. It's not a sit-down-waiter type of place, you order your food at the counter, you take a seat, and they call your name when your order is up and ready. The guy Steve who explained the menu and the concept was extremely friendly and genuinely into explaining the whole concept. Most things are made in-house, except hot dogs. You can add a ton of toppings to it, add chips (flavored or not), and add beer/wine/soda. There are vegetarian options - black bean burger (not vegan, made with eggs) and sometimes they have a "carrot dog." I wanted to try that but I don't think they had any in stock. Black bean burger was very good. Lot of flavor and HUGE, it was falling apart as I was eating it. The salt and vinegar chips are a little salty for me, I would try a different one. The ginger ale - so good!! I know it's bottled from somewhere else but it was delicious. My +1 enjoyed the chorizo sausage with cheese curd and pickles. Our only complaint and probably a pretty common one: IT IS MESSY. The meals are big and difficult to eat, I don't suggest taking this on the road to eat; really bad idea. The staff is great, they know how to do customer service right. They made sure our meals were good and helped us clean up. I would definitely stop here again and try something else. read more

We stopped here for a fast dinner so that we could get back to wine tasting at the vineyards. We got "The Kraut" with Bratwurst and the "State Fair" with Italian sausage. Both were above and beyond delicious. Great stop for a quick bite to soak up the wine we'd been drinking all day. A little pricey for a Hot dog, but they did go all out! read more

Awesome service and delicious food. Had the crab sandwich special and was not disappointed!

7/13/19 First time here. We were on a day trip. Iris Farm, Wineries and now a Winery! Lots of parking and seating. Clean well lit. Staff was helpful with the menu and carrying toys of food. 1 Red Hot with mustard, Kraut and herbs. 2 orders of fries 1 Plain Jane - White 1 Plain Jane - Red 1 Peanut Burger American Bacon, peanut butter 1 Double Trouble Double bacon, caramelized onions and other toppers. Our first time with Zweigle's hot hot dogs and White Hots. Both were very good! Worth another stop when were in the area. Everything was very good. read more

The FLX Wienery fell slightly short of expectations, but still made a good impression. Very unique menu, very friendly staff, and very attentive to food allergies. The fries are amazing. The homemade bratwurst was good, not amazing and the roll it came on was just ok. However the toppings are what makes it. The peppers and onions topping was amazing! They also serve boozy milkshakes and some really interesting desserts. Definitely worth a try! read more

We stopped here on our way back from Watkins Glen. So clean and friendly. The food was so good! Definitely will come back and try some other options. They explained the menu to us, which was very helpful! The sell milkshakes that sound delicious! I'm so full from my delicious meal otherwise I'd order one. They sell t shirts that make you laugh!! read more

This is THE place to eat lunch on Seneca Lake. The food is ridiculously amazing, and the drink options are just to die for. I had a Blues Artist burger with blue cheese, bacon, mushrooms and a fried egg- it is the best burger I've ever had. Hands down. The meat was cooked to perfection, the bacon was crispy and smoky, the cheese was melty with a funky zing, the mushrooms added an umami kick... are you hungry yet? With my burger I had the Element Wines Pinot Noir. It was a refreshing red with notes of cherry and grapefruit, good acid, nice tannin, and was the perfect complement to the richness of the burger. Perfect meal, amazing service, love read more

FLX Wienery - Truffle fries, wine, beer - Beer Bar Near Me - Dundee, New York

This was our first time at "The Wienery" and what a welcome addition to the west side of the lake! They have various hot dogs, sausages, hamburgers, etc. Everything is freshly made / homemade - including things like the pickles and chips. Prices were super reasonable, the place was clean and the service was good. When we came in a worker directed us to the giant chalkboard and walked us through the sections / how to design a meal. And, most importantly the food was AMAZING! I had a traditional red hot dog (with freshly made roll) and a small poutine. The hot dog was great and the poutine was good too - narrow fries and a white gravy of sorts so it was less heavy than other places. The rest of my party had white hots and various flavors of the homemade chips. Everything was great! read more

FLX Wienery - Red hot dog with two types of homemade pickles and corn relish, along with the poutine. - Beer Bar Near Me - Dundee, New York

F.L.X. Wienery is a casual wine-country hang out for locals and visitors alike, in the heart of the Finger Lakes Wine Trail. Featuring an array of hot dogs, hamburgers, sausages and french fries, F.L.X. Wienery makes a perfect spot for a relaxed lunch or dinner. Christopher & Isabel opened F.L.X. Wienery in May of 2014 after many years in fine-dining including nearly a decade of managing Relais & Chateaux/Grande Chef properties and Forbes Five-Stars including the Hotel Fauchere and The Inn at Dos Brisas. I LOVE this place, and I've only been here once. Unfortunately, it's an hour and a half away from where I live, or else I'd be a regular. The wife and I randomly walked in while on a wine tour, looking for some lunch. It's a quirky, fun little place in the middle of no where, but it was packed. Kinda a long wait, but as I said, it was pretty busy. They have their own way of ordering, and it can be overwhelming when looking at their menu, but luckily they had an employee out who was basically there to explain their process to customers. They have a couple different hot dogs, sausages and burgers, and you can add as many of their toppings as you'd like for an extra charge. They have a menu of premade recipes you can go with, which they refer to as hot dog and burger art respectively, or you can choose your own. I went with one red dog, one white dog, topped with ketchup, mustard, dill relish, chili, spicy fried onions and Canadian bacon. I also got a side of the K-Town Fries, a take on poutine. Fries covered in kimchi, cheese curds, spicy Chipotle mayo, cilantro and Korean BBQ beef. The hot dogs were great, but the real winner for me were the K-Town Fries. They were AMAZING. So many layers of delicious flavors. I really wish the place weren't so far away. If you're in the area, you should definitely stop. It's worth the long wait. read more

Great little place. Food is elevated but still casual. We will be back! Service was fast and came out hot.

It's much more dive-y than the website and food photos suggest. Not a bad thing, just manage your aesthetic expectations. None of us would pull over for a meal here based on the appearance of the building. But the Wienery is fantastic. High-end liquor to low-end beer, with a ton of craft options in between. I had a peanut butter burger, cooked perfectly, with a good portion of bacon on a standard roll. The kimchi potato options were pretty good but were probably upstaged by the truffle fries with foie. Can't speak to the dogs, but this place crushed every food option I tried. Decent milkshake as well. read more

We came here while on a day trip to Geneva and Seneca Lake. Heads up: This spot is about 30min outside Geneva on your way to Watkins Glen. It's a shack in the middle of nowhere between wineries along the lake so it's definitely a destination for eats and drinks, rather than a stop among others in town. Although, if you're winery hopping, this is a good lunchtime stop along the west side of the lake. We were greeted upon entering and they explained the menu, sharing details about the housemade sausages, toppings, and drink options. They have a pretty stellar selection of well-curated wines, rare beer options, and no corkage fee for BYOB (which makes sense for a fun, post-winery hang out option, sipping on your freshly purchased local wine!). There's indoor and outdoor seating with the inside being big wood tables with benches and chairs. Outside has picnic tables with umbrellas and corn hole. I ordered the chorizo dressed (LTO + mayo) and Dan got the brat with kraut toppings. We wanted to go for the homemade stuff. Dan's was the winner - the brat and kraut combo was perfect with a spicy zing in that mustard. He was pumped. He also opted for no bun to make it GF and I stole the fried onions on top. My chorizo was a little dry, but the flavor was awesome - spicy and porky. None of the toppings seemed to make much sense for chorizo so I just went basic with the "dressed" option. The mayo added some moisture to it and I actually like the fried onions with it too (that I stole from Dan's "kraut" topping), but the tomato sliced whole was difficult to comprehend. If it had been diced like all the other toppings, I would have been able to pick it up and eat it like normal, but instead had to fork and knife it. We also had the garlic-parsley-lemon fries (maitre), which were huge - one portion will go between 2-4 people easily! This is a super deliciously fun option to explore and worth a visit. We want to come back to try more of the combos, the other sides like poutine and fried cheese curds, plus the burgers. Inspo for your next day trip! read more

This is a hidden gem in the Fingerlakes. Stopped here with my husband because all of my coworkers had been raving about it. We each got a hot dog and shared fries and a milkshake and all items were amazing. The nutella and peanut butter milkshake was hands-down the best shake I've ever had. The fries were fresh-cut and delicious. The service was amazing, all of the people working there were so friendly. Definitely recommend. read more

FLX Wienery - Delicious! - Beer Bar Near Me - Dundee, New York

This place is incredible. Peanut Burger is hands down a top 5 burger I've had in my life. The quinoa side with kimchi is delicious and has a hint of spice, and the seasoned fries are nomnomnom salty and savory! My aunt really enjoyed her home made black bean burger as well! Will be trying more next time I come back from NYC. Although I didn't have one, the beer selection here is on point at well, from bourbon county stouts to exotic Italian sours! read more

Yup. Wiener, wiener, didn't have chicken dinner! Yes, winning wieners here...and burgers. First, the chef and owner here is a master sommelier. That is beyond notable and wish I could have congratulated him myself, but he wasn't there, but glad we got to meet his wife. Serious props! Ok, from wine to wieners, this guy knows his stuff. We opted for the wiener and burger art items off the menu. These are chef concocted creations of a mashup of ingredients that rock your taste buds. The K-Town burger and the Whole hog wiener (w/ the Italian sausage) were damn good. Both had fried eggs on top, which frankly make anything slightly more awesome. The flavors were incredible. Hitting all the right balances of sweet, spicy, salty, and savory. Nothing was lacking here. The spicy onion rings on the wiener were also bomb. This is a must when visiting the Watkins Glen/Seneca Lake area. So damn good. Sad this place is 5hrs north of NYC or I'd be a regular. read more

Came here with a buddy for a quick bite and had a minor personality crisis. As someone who loves sausages and burgers (and wouldn't likely return to this area for a while), I really struggled with the menu. Although I wanted a dog, we both opted for the Blues Artist burger instead. This monster assemblage was cooked to order and topped with bacon, mushrooms, onion rings, real blue cheese, and an egg. It was a true hot mess (see pic) -- I struggled for about a minute to figure out the best strategy for picking it up. A bit pricey at $12, but without any sides, I was totally full at the end. My friend didn't even finish his. It was good, though next time I'd like to try something from the other side of the menu. The service was great, as was the atmosphere. The manager checked in with us before we ordered to see if we had questions and we got our food quickly even though it was fairly busy. I think the wiener jokes are overplayed (makes the "FLX" bourgeoise feel like the peoples I guess?), but there are flourishes of antique decor and oldies on the radio so I can't really complain. I do wish the prices were just a bit more reasonable (I paid $35 for two burgers and two beers), but the Finger Lakes aren't what they used to be and I could have gotten something less expensive from the menu had I wanted to. It's a bit higher than 4 stars, really, and I look forward to treating myself here again in the future. read more

FLX Wienery - Hot mess halfway through. Not a complaint, by the way. - Beer Bar Near Me - Dundee, New York

Stopped here yesterday with my brother & his girlfriend. He had been wanting to try it and saw they had a vegan option (carrot dog!) so we stopped when we were in the area. I got the kraut carrot dog, which was delicious! It was a carrot dog with sauerkraut, whole grain mustard, herbs, and fried onions. My brother got a red hot dog with chili and his girlfriend ordered the chorizo. We all split an order of onion rings and fries. Everyone really enjoyed their meals and I was extremely impressed they had a tasty vegan option! My only complaint was they did not have AC and it was in the 90s that day so eating in the restaurant was rather uncomfortable and there were quite a few flies. All in all I would definitely stop back if I am in the area again! read more

FLX Wienery - Kraut carrot dog- carrot dog with sauerkraut, fried onions, whole grain mustard & herbs! - Beer Bar Near Me - Dundee, New York

Better for burgers and fries than it is for hot dogs. I had the Blues Artist, which was divine. My wife, not wanting to be extravagant had the Chili Dog. The Blues Artist was awesome! It was delicious and a perfect combination of amazing flavors and textures. The chil dog, which should've been basic was an attempt at an elaborate take on a classic that failed miserably. We Liked the Fries Royale, but I liked it better than the wife. Her complaint was that all the good stuff was in top, and the bottom was just basic fries. Either way, 5 stars from me and 3 stars from wife, giving an average of 4. Definitely worth a visit in my humble opinion. read more

stopped here for lunch before coming home from a 2 day trip at seneca lake; the location was easy to find. We brought our dog, he wasn't allowed inside but they had seating outside with picnic benches, the waiter even brought him fresh water which was nice. There were plenty of seating inside. The menu included specialty weiners and burgers. I ordered a whole hog weiner and my boyfriend ordered an american burger, and a side of poutine fries. Both the weiner and burger were delicious; however, the fries were over seasoned, too much pepper and definitely salty. Overall, it was a good burger/hotdog joint. read more

FLX Wienery - Beer Bar Near Me - Dundee, New York

What a great stop for lunch while visiting the West side of Seneca Lake wineries. An excellent selection of hot dogs, sausages, burgers and more. They do have a full bar and sell Pappy Van Winkle by the ounce. I was not starving but enjoyed a kraut ladened Bratwurst. We did open and share 2 different bottles of their FLX Winery Wines. Element blended red with Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Very nicely made wine. The other was a semi-dry Riesling, which was outstanding. Plenty of great fruit, acidity and an excellent mouthfeel. Highly recommend this stop even if just to grab a small bite and look at their empty bottles of serious blue chip wines from around the world. 4 empty bottles of Domaine Romanee-Conti among others. Drunk way too you but I'm sure they were purchased by the case. Those are wines that could set you back $1200-$4500 per bottle. Fun eye candy along with excellent food and service. read more

Got the Kraut hot dog and the cheese curds. Excellent. Definitely will be going back. Outdoor seating was very nice.

This place is a fantastic! The bourbon is a real treat! Eagle rare one of my favorites! Must stop and taste

Found a little piece of Portland in Seneca Wine country... The Roadhouse Burger special had a delicious Cole slaw topping, Kimchi fries was a unique burst of flavor and The Kraut wiener so delicious. On top of it all a great Stout and Belgian to wash it all down with. Love this spot read more

This place reminds me of Gotts in Napa. Surrounded by beautiful scenery and awesome wineries, here we have a roadside gastro dog-burger shack. Don't let the exterior fool you, it's super clean inside and the food is awesome. I had the Whole Hog hotdog and my wife had the local burger w a chicken patty. Both excellent. Awesome beer and wine and booze selection. The desserts don't disappoint either. Also they have 2 EV chargers (1 Tesla, 1 J772) which I appreciated and made use of. read more

FLX Wienery - Special dog with 2 blue cheese burgers - Beer Bar Near Me - Dundee, New York

I got to visit the wienery for the first time last weekend, and at first, was a little put off by the price for a "hot dog." However, my son, a local to the area, assured me that it would be worthwhile. We started with an order of wiener poppers. These are essentially bite size (maybe 2 bites) corn dogs, but the fact that the dogs are local (Zweigle's?) makes them special. For our main course, we got the double trouble (with Zweigle's red), the whole hog (with the house-made brat), and the kraut (with Zweigle's white). All three were delicious!! You can check out the menu at flxweinery.com/menu to see all the ingredients on everything, but each individually was great and the combination even better. On the Whole Hog, fried onion rings, bacon, corn relish, chipotle mayo, and a fried egg. Yes, it was huge (see pix). I expect that the corn relish was home made, and will definitely try to make brats with bacon and a fried egg at home. I will try, however, to keep the egg long and narrow; like NY pizza, hot dogs, no matter how tasty should not be eaten with a knife and fork. The Double (2 dogs, 2x bacon, carmelized and fried onions, and 2 kinds of home made pickle) was also awesome and fork-requiring. I think the kraut on the third was also home made. (There were 4 of us, one enjoyed the wedge salad and we all shared.) Definitely worth a visit, and be sure to get one of the T-shirts (various weiner humor rated PG to PG-17); they are soft and comfy. read more

They make a delicious burger here. How do I know? Because I got a flat tire close to this restaurant and the owner drove over with two cold waters and two burgers and gave them to us for free. I thought I was being punked. He was such a nice guy. Please patronize this place! This kind of gesture restores my faith in humanity. Good food, upstanding people. read more

I can see why this place is so popular: The food here was excellent. We went with a big group and everyone loved their meal. I got the chorizo lunch special and it was packed with flavor and loaded with toppings that really worked well together. For as much as we enjoyed the food, I dropped it one star because of the cost: it was pricier than I expected. Two sandwiches, a spiked milkshake, and a water ran us about $35. All in all though, glad we went. A very solid lunch spot. read more

Eh. Smells odd, mustard was the grain style. What a mess and so much vinegar flavor. Eh

The Wienery is a great, casual place conveniently located on the Seneca Lake wine trail. The staff are very helpful in walking you through the menu and making sure you actually grab your food when it's ready. Their staples are burgers and dogs piled high with interesting toppings. On our latest trip, I ordered "the local" with a beef burger and one of the few beers they had on tap. The rest of our party all built their own burgers. We split an order of fries and my husband tried the bacon caramel shake(in his own words "it was sweet and smoky"). Fun and good food were had by all! Had I indulged a bit more on the trail, I think I would've found the flavors too intense. If you are reading this and are way passed buzzed from all of the wine, my suggestion is to order the fries and devour them. If you are sober, try anything! You won't be disappointed. read more

Homerun! If I could give 4.5 stars, I would. Mere half a star loss, solely for the portion sizes. I felt the price should dictate about 25% larger portions. Any place that grinds​ their our meats, gets my heart. I appreciate the love that goes into blending your best to produce a fine burger. We chose medium and rare burgers. Both cooked to perfection. This is the first time that I've truly received a rare burger when asking for it. They grind thick, so don't expect a tight, heavy burger. These guys come out chunky, locking in flavor without losing fatty delight. The take of Poutine was unique. Not your typical Americana gravy, nor French Canadian. I'm not certain exactly how it is done, but they've done a good job achieving a unique approach. Maybe some thick hand-cut​ fries??? Would put it over the edge. Service was great. Everything arrived quickly. Maybe, I should have asked for a toasted bun. That would push their burgers over the edge. Side note, definitely respect the Master Somm achievement. Congrats! Go here now! read more

Recommended by one of the local wineries. Such wonderful people running the place. They take ownership of your experience. The fries are reminiscent of any childhood memory you may have of pier fries or carnival fries but much tastier. The burgers are real burgers that remind you of your backyard barbecues. If you are traveling up the west side of Seneca Lake take time to stop and have a lunch to bring back the finer memories of life. read more

The good: the burgers are delicious. The menu is a little confusing at first, but one of the employees comes over to explain to all newcomers. Basically you pick a protein (they have 4 types of dogs and 3 types of burgers) and then either a pre-selected group of toppings, or choose your own. I chose a beef burger with lettuce, raw onion, chipotle mayo, and their house made fried onions. The onions are a little spicy, but oh so good. Like the way better version of French's in a can. The burger was fantastic. Messy, but fantastic. One was a little more than enough for me. My BF opted for the peanut butter burger and says it was one of the best he's ever had. We also got a side of spicy onions to share, although in retrospect I kind of wish we'd tried one of the fry sides - there were several flavor combos plus poutine! We also got a seasonal milkshake to split (black raspberry). They offer a bunch of other varieties of milkshakes (the Oreo stout also looked appealing) and some deep fried desserts (crunchy Nutella and fried Oreos). My BF loves their beer selection too - they have several that can be hard to find, and most you can take to go! The bad: it was a little pricy, but nothing too unbearable. And it did smell like hard boiled eggs inside, for a reason I never figured out. Definitely not the place to go when you're on a diet, but worth it! read more

FLX Wienery - Peanut butter burger and great beer! - Beer Bar Near Me - Dundee, New York

This place is an enigma. That the best word I can think of to describe it. First off, without Yelp I don't think I'd ever stop here on a wine tour of the Finger Lakes because it basically looks like a old diner from the road, and not even a nice one. There's an AC-unit precariously hanging off a front window for crying out loud. Doesn't matter. Inside isn't special either....if you're looking for white-linens and bottles brought to your table, keep driving. Think more like picnic benches with t-shirts for sale hanging on the walls (I'll get to those in a minute). Again, doesn't matter. It's totally fine. You're not there for the decor, you're there for the food and drink. It's a hotdog/burger/fry joint.....I guess. I mean, that's basically the food they serve, but it's a lot more than that. The burgers are supremely tasty and the combinations they offer are as interesting as they are yummy. Blues Artist with blue cheese, bacon, fried egg, etc on top was great, and the half dozen or so other burger stacks coming out of the kitchen looked equally as interesting/tasty. We didn't try the dogs, but they've got everything from a plain jane through one called "Whole Hog" which...well, good luck finishing it with your side of cheese curds. The reason I said the place is an enigma is I can't figure out what it is. Looks like a diner, but I sat there drinking a $18 high-gravity beer with my burger. While sitting on a picnic bench eating and reading the t-shirts for sale on the walls with dick-jokes like "Our wieners are huge in Japan" and "No one beats our wieners", I look over and see a cooler with $500 bottle of wine in it. But look closer at the disclaimer on the wine rack and realize the bottle hasn't come directly from a winery or distributor, but from someone's private collection. Basically, selling wine out of the owners basement I guess? Sure, why not? But it all works wonderfully. Great food, great beer variety. Very interesting selection of wines. Seriously, unless you're a snooty stick in the mud (in which case, you shouldn't be in the Finger Lakes to begin with), a stop here for lunch is totally worth it. You might need a solid power nap afterwards before heading on to the next winery, but nothing wrong with that! read more

So fun! We came on a Thursday afternoon and wasn't busy. The staff was very friendly and walked us through the menu. After seeing pictures from yelp, I chose "The Kraut" with a roasted carrot and my husband got a Red Dog with Chili. We also got K-Town fries and Poutine Fries. If we go back, I would definitely get onion rings - there were a few on top of my carrot dog and the flavor was delicious! They were spicy, thin and perfectly battered. Next time I would go with a red dog ... the carrot was a nice change in my attempt to only overload my calorie quota on the fries. The flavor of the carrot was similar to what I get with a crockpot roast (hence the name - whole roasted carrot) and, while I ate every bite, I will try something different next time. Make sure you check out the shirts for sale - so funny! read more

This is a great option to break up the day of winery visits. You can get some heavy but tasty food in your belly to absorb the alcohol. The poutine was really good. More of a thick sausage type gravy rather than the traditional brown gravy but it had a nice spice level to it. The burger and hotdog were better than average as well. read more

This place is a pretty solid hot dog joint, and we Chicagoans take hot dogs seriously. The Zweigle's red hots are snappy and the house made brat had great flavor if not as meaty as a Wisconsin beer brat. The fixings were piled high and had a mix of different styles to choose from. Also loved the homemade chips. The poutine had a peppery gravy and thin cut fries, but was a little light on the cheese curds. Oh and yelpers will get a good laugh at the bathroom decorations... read more
