we had Chicago dogs and cheese fries. the food was good and prices were reasonable. service was ok and the ambiance was better outside. it was too crowded inside and a little unorganized. ppl were bumping into each other. definitely need a new system of ppl trying to get their food and an exit to leave or sit down. read more

Wienerlicious! HA! Catchy name and catchy ginormous hot dog on its roof is probably the best advertisement for this place! Advertising/PR did good on this place with that! :) We were heading back home from Mackinaw island and decided to stop by since it was close to our hotel and we wanted a quick bite to eat prior to going back home. We both tried the foot long - I had ketchup and mustard, my typical for a hot dog. The hot dog truly was enormously long and pretty fresh. Husband got fries with cheese. Food came out quick. Would recommend! read more

We spotted this restaurant on the way into Mackinaw City and knew we had to stop because of the giant hot dog on top of the building! We decided to give it a try after spending the day on Mackinac Island. Our group ordered the Mackinac Dog, Regular Dog, Chili Cheese Dog, Regular Fries, and Chili Cheese Fries. Unfortunately, everything was just "okay." Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out either. It was definitely nothing to write home about. The giant hot dog on the roof definitely caught our attention, but based on the food, I'm not sure this is somewhere I'd return to. It was worth trying once, though! read more

I know it is the end of season, but I was hoping for better. Saw the place and it was so cute. Ordered two dogs; Mackinaw and Chicago. Chicago was ok but Mackinaw was not. Bacon was soggy, cheese just thrown on top. Not appealing at all. Waffle fries were bad. They appeared to be just reheated in fryer, dark in color, greasy and cold. Fountain drinks, not much better. $30-$35. Did not eat fries nor drink the Pepsi Zero. I hope it is better when season is in full swing. Service staff was good read more

Ok I have lived in Michigan most of my life. Been through and stayed at Mackinaw City and St. Ignace many times. Well I was nearby on business today (Tractors across the Mac weekend) so thought it was a good time to stop. Let me start with the outside: Yup, BIG hotdog on the roof. Inside: like an old gas station trying to pretend to be a 50's diner. Aluminum diamond plate on the walls and cieling..... clean. Ok now the food: OVERPRICED! Yeah I said it. Overpriced. $7 for a small coney dog, $8 & $9 for specialty dogs. They are Koegels, but give me a break. The fries are waffle $5-7 depending on size$1.30-$4 for cheese and chili. Small portions also. One size shake, they call large, it was medium at best and was $8 Fries were good Coney dog was too BUT this was my first and final time eating at Wienerlicious...... read more

the Coney Hot dog my husband and I had was delicious. The service was truly wonderful.

Delicious & quick late lunch. The non hot dog eater grabbed a pretzel/cheese and waffle fries. Tried the all beef dog, regular weiner and a couple of corn dogs. Seating available inside & outside. Parked and walked before shopping, if you're looking for a casual & fast lunch spot, check it out. read more

It hotdog. Hard to get wrong. Menu is straight forward and food came out quick. The fries were scrumptious and perfect, the hotdogs were yummy too, but in a regular hot dog way. The fun part was definitely the giant hot dog on the roof. read more

Nice hot dog joint. A little expensive but it's not Costco, it's Mackinaw City. Great Chicago dog and coney dog, and good waffle fries

Great place . Great beef hot dog and very clean. Must stop if you are hungry for a dog!

More on the expensive side! I got a all beef hot dog, a regular hot dog, and fries and side of cheese and it was $34 The fries were free and delicious, cheese was also very good! However both hot dog were lukewarm warm to almost a cold level! read more

We stopped here because it was a short walk from our motel and had the veggie dog. We did only notice it from the giant hotdog on the roof. Prices are a lot higher than I saw online. One veggie dog was 4.99! I think we spent $45 for two people. You pay extra for chili and cheese and they put the smallest amount of cheese I've ever seen. Waffle fries were old. It was mediocre and not worth the price. Also don't tip, they still give you old food. This is an order and wait for your order number to be called establishment. Too Bad we wanted to like it. read more

Serious question. You're driving down the street and you see something like a 150 foot long massive hot dog affixed to the top of a building...how do you not stop there? I don't know. So I stopped. This place is a celebration of the hot dog. They've got all kinds. It's not haute cuisine, but it's priced accordingly. I had one with chili and cheese with an order of waffle fries and it was both delicious and filling. The vibe inside was slightly crowded and a little loud, but there's outdoor seating as well for those of you who need a bit of elbow room. Order at the counter, wait for your number to be called, chow down. For what this place is, (a hot dog joint in the shape of an old school diner), it's pretty good. Definitely worth the price and a solid option if you're in the area and in the market for quick and easy bite to eat. read more

If you like hot dogs, then this is worth a stop. The only risk is that you might wreck your car staring at the gargantuan hot dog on the roof. Stepping inside, it does have a 50s diner vibe with stainless steel counters and bar stools. There are a variety of different dogs to try. I really wish I had tried one of the sausages, but I decided on the Reuben Dog because...well, I like a good Reuben. This was not a good Reuben. The dog was topped with a pile of good sauerkraut. It was billed as having Swiss cheese, like a Reuben is supposed to have, but there was none. There was a drizzle of 1000 island dressing on the top, but it wasn't noticeable in the taste. Most disappointing was the dog itself. It was the average blended type dog, the type you may have tried at a cafeteria. Even smothered with sauerkraut, there's no getting around the averageness of the dog. I got waffle fries as a side. They weren't bad, except that they weren't fresh. They were a bit soggy, but the seasoning was good. The order was served up quickly, and the cashier was friendly enough. But, I'm not sure if that's enough to make me want to order from them again. But, that massive hot dog on the roof? That will be a fixture in every trip up this way from now on. read more

The manager is awesome!! The restaurant is set up really cute. The hotdogs and fries were good, free refills on pop. The lady taking our order wasn't as friendly as she could've been. She was also seen picking fries out of the basket and eating them. That's gross considering she's handling money and the public is eating fries out of that basket. read more

As many times as my family has visited Mackinaw City, this was my first time at Wienerlicious. I had the Reuben dog and the 'kraut was generous, and the 1,000 Island dressing was a perfect topper. My daughter's bratwurst was huge. And the waffle fries were perfectly fried and delicious. Great stop! read more

Stopped into Wienerlicious while passing through Mackinaw City and was seriously impressed. I tried the Chicago Dog, Mackinac Dog, and the Coney Dog -- all were packed with flavor, made with care, and had that perfect snap. The waffle cheese fries on the side were crispy, cheesy perfection. What really stood out was the staff -- super friendly, fast service, and great energy all around. This place doesn't just have fun with its name -- it delivers. If you're in town and craving something quick, local, and delicious, this is the spot. read more

Our review is as follows: For being called Wienerlicious, the hot dogs were hugely lacking if at best. Good flavor, but lost in the buns (we had an all beef, Chicago, coney, and a Reuben). The milkshake was also to be desired not being made out of ice cream, but ice milk. The amount that was spent on these five items and the product quality was very poor. As for the fries, we really liked them and would enjoy ordering them again if we entertained coming again. The restaurant was clean and tidy, and courteous service was given. read more

The service was amazing, the wieners, totally licious!!! The corn dog was hot and fresh.

You can't miss Wienerlicious. Just look.for the giant hot dog and you are there. And since they have a huge hot dog on their roof, you automatically know what the food focus is on at Wienerlicious (though the name gives it away, as well). It definitely has a fun vibe and cool ambiance. The staff is friendly. If you are a fan of hot dogs (and maybe even if you are not), you will enjoy the food and vibe of Wienerlicious. read more

We made an impromptu stop on our way in to town as my husband is a chili dog fan. Just as other reviews state, it was expensive and unfortunately we arrived as a small crowd did as well. No one was in a hurry behind the counter like you would expect. We got chili cheese frys and regular and I think they were the best thing we got. I agree, the hot dogs were lost in the bun and had a thick "bite" to them (the casing). The interior was basic diner. read more

Absolutely love this place. The food rocks and the lady who makes the sweatshirts was a doll who helped me pick all of the colors I wanted and printed them for me. A gift treasured by my friends and family. read more

Food was really good! Service was also really good, and the general feel of the restaurant was good as well. The only thing I wasn't prepared for was needing to order a second round of food because I only got one coney and fries to share with my partner, so I was still hungry. read more

It's a hot dog. Cheese was on the bottom, tricked me! I was pretty good for a hot dog with chili and cheese. Fries were so so. Service was great! Everyone was working hard and checking to see that tables were wiped clean and trash picked up of floors etc. Busy place in the middle of Mackinaw City. Would go back easy access and plenty of parking. read more

We are here with our eight year old and enjoyed the hotdogs. I recommend the chili flour the fries or dogs. It was a little pricey for hotdogs but not out of line at all for a tourist city. Friendly staff and clean diner themed restaurant. The giant hotdog on top is a bonus. read more

Wienerlicious - Giant Hot Dog on the roof. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Mackinaw City, Michigan

Interesting place, small inside with not to many seats, large groups would be difficult so we sat outside and battled the seagulls. We ordered a couple different "wieners" like Chicago dog and two normal dogs along with fries and drinks. A little pricey but it is a tourist town. The food was okay nothing to brag about but how can you say no to a giant hot dog on top of a building. read more

I heard I had to get a hot dog when in MI, so where better to go than someplace called Wienerlicious?! I ordered their veggie dog (thank you for the vegetation option!) with cheese and sautéed onions and peppers, as well as a small side of their heavily breaded waffle fries. The fries tasted similar to Arby's curly fries - so pretty good, and the small option was more than enough. The veggie dog was very small, so it was mainly the bread and toppings. The sautéed veggies on top were very cold and made it unappetizing. I would definitely recommend getting the cheese though, as it melted perfectly onto the dog. The bun did fall apart right away so I went and found a fork to pick at it with. It's a cute touristy destination with the way the building looks, however the food is made a little carelessly. read more

This restaurant is very well known for the "World's Largest Roof Top Wiener" which can be seen before crossing over the Mighty Mackinaw Bridge, North on I-75. It's a true classic, old time (1916) quality and a MUST "craving stop" when entering Mackinaw City. This place will not disappoint because they cook many of their signature dogs daily to keep up the history of this business. They serve a delicious true "Snap Koegel's" winner of a wiener that is Wienerlicious ! And don't forget those seasoned Waffle Fries. Or top the fries with hot cheese, chili or chili cheese or just enjoy the waffle fries with ketchup. Arriving in the city of Mackinaw on Sunday October 20, 2019 for a few days, we decided to finally, yes finally try this famous and authentic "hot spot". Upon walking up to the doors I noticed several picnic tables for outdoor seating and eating during warmer days. The umbrellas were already packed away for the seasons end and the sign on the door noted their closing date, the last Sunday of October. Therefore was our perfect 1st time to enjoy and experience this landmark spot! We were greeted with a smile from Debbie the manager who welcomed us with our 1st visit and dining experience. She did inform us that they grill hamburgers but they were not serving them since they were closing the building in a few days. They also blend chocolate or vanilla milkshakes but the machines were already gone for the closing/ winter season. The wall menu gives a customer many choices of signature dogs such as a Coney Dog (Foot Long too), Reuben Dog, The Chicago Dog, Spicy Italian, Bratwurst and their famous The Mackinaw. You can also order many toppings as well besides the usual 2 table condiments waiting.(Mustard & Ketchup). What caught my eye and taste buds was the Bacon wrapped cheese hot dog which I ordered and seasoned crispy waffle fries. (Photo attached of course). It had that "Snap" and was crispy Wienerlicious ! (Should of ordered 2) :0 Also ordered was the Chili dog and chili cheese fries which was loaded with flavor and was very filling plus satisfying as well! See photo too. Note: If a "Guest" wishes a plain hot dog that does NOT snap..ask for it. It was very nice to chat with Debbie the manager after our early evening meal ended about her fun summertime job here. Next is the sadness of packing up the business for the cold winter months ahead. She said she was looking forward to the warmer temperature and relaxing down in Florida. This is what most of the business owners do in Mackinaw City when the season of winter arrives along with the lake affects of cold and wind here. This place was very clean from the tables to the floors. Upbeat 80's music was playing in the background to hear. The beverage area was plenty and also a free refill on our way out. I felt the prices are reasonable for the special handmade creations. A few other dining customers were also enjoying their meals when we were leaving. I can't wait to stop back in here next Summer 2020 and try a different classic hot dog choice. I would recommend and give this business a try in the Spring, Summer or Fall when vacationing in Mackinaw City or when driving by. I wanted to give it 5 stars but since it was my 1st visit, I'll stay with the 4 stars. Then come back next year to eat, enjoy and move up to 5 stars with another Wienerlicious meal and review ! Atmosphere Fun, Great Value, Fast Service with Smiles = Yes Food Tastes.. Wienerlicious! Yes "Yelp dictionary" Wienerlicious is a word now.. so stop the highlighting referring to spell check it. :) read more

Kids and I HAD to eat at Wienerlicious. We ordered two regular hotdogs, two bunless hotdogs, a bratwurst, an Italian sausage, three medium fries, and three small drinks. The cost was almost $45. All of the food was delicious, but the buns were a bit dry and underwhelming. We went back up for cheese sauce and they let us have it for free. Very kind of them as they didn't have to "give" it to us. They should add a couple 2 hotdog options, or add a hotdog option to the menu. Charging too much for hotdogs doesn't seem like a good business plan even if your name is Wienerlicious and you have a 49-foot hotdog on your roof. read more
