Wienerschnitzel advertises every week a Wednesday special at certain locations $4.00 for 4 chili dogs. The internet advertisement list the participating locations. This store is listed and still is as a participant. When I drove out there to it quit a ways and ordered that Wednesday special and more food, I was told that this location does not accept that offer??? I said it was listed as a location and he responded sorry! When I drove up to the pick up window I asked for the manager and an Asian man said he was and I explained the situation about it being listed and I drove a ways to get it along with my other items. He apologized and said he forgot to take the internet web offer down but wouldn't honer it! He knew I was upset and proced to fill the rest of my order and asked if I wanted any chili dogs and so upset but wanted some I said yes and ordered three at $2.99 a piece!!! When I got home it was clear he gave me three chili dogs completely uncooked or boiled or whatever they do and it was terrible! I check the past two weeks and it is still listed today as a coupon location? Don't go to this Wienerschnitzel...Ever!So far all others are Great! read more

It's old. It's like 1989's mall old. But it was clean. The staff was friendly. Did is exactly what you expect. So a good wiener-licious time. read more

1/10/2026 - They open at 10am, I arrived at 10am. Since the Santee version closed and they were always consistent, I was craving their food. Went to El Cajon, no line, easy access thru the drive thru and when I exited. We ordered a regular classic cheese fry and the 5 for $8.95 chili dogs. When we arrived home, they were very skimpy with the chili on the chili cheese fries and light with the chili on the chili hot dogs. Will gave this place a total of 2 stars. I will try one more time in the future then go to another location. No reason to be skimpy on the chili. See photos and judge. read more

I got FOOD POISONING ON 4/10/26 from eating here. Eat here with extreme caution-- the worst food poisoning I've ever had

Wienerschnitzel is my guilty pleasure! Sometimes I just come here for ice cream cones. But now they have fruit loops dipped ice cream cones! I also frequently order kraut dogs and chili dogs. read more

Pros: * Fast Service * Good food; regular chili cheese fries are the best. Cons: * Can be pricey Extra: * Suggest drive thru *Easy parking lot to navigate read more

Always have good service here and they keep the dining area clean. Staff is friendly + helpful. Didn't have to wait long for my food when I've been here aside from coming at times it's already crowded or busy, can't blame them for everyone else coming through at the same time, but they always do their best to get you out of there quick. Once got the wrong item but they replaced with correct food no problem. Other things I can say im not too sure but I guess they don't have good luck with ice cream machine at times I have went it's down but when it's working oh boy it's some good ice cream! night and day crew all have been kind to me, have yet to have any terrible experiences here. very accommodating fantastic crew and service . Thank you! read more

I know everyone is short handed but I'm not sure if this is the case here or the reason for the horrible service. Simple order, 6 corn dogs, a strawberry lemonade, a root beer and a large fries...which I had to repeat twice. The guy at the drive up window was taking forever. When I finally ordered he added an extra plain lemonade. I said we only wanted 2 drinks. Finally got to the window and he tried to hand me a Pepsi - which leaked all over me because the lid was not on right. I said I ordered a root beer. He handed me the root beer and the lemonade. And then tried to hand me the Pepsi again. I again said we only ordered 2 drinks. Finally got the rest of my order. When I got to where I was going, I discovered that I got a Pepsi instead of a root beer. After repeating my order a couple of times and the long wait ... I would like to think that the order would be completely right. read more

Strawberry lemonade taste urine. Service is poor. Cashier didn't give me a receipt.

This location is convenient and the staff is always on point! The chili cheese fries are a must for my family and the dogs are always delish! Keep doing what you're doing read more

Chili cheese fries and the corn dogs are always a winner no matter where you go. I was just happy this place was open pretty late for me to still partake in. read more

I usually don't eat many hot dogs in a given year, but I do like sausages on a bun with all the fixings more often than I should be eating them, which is the reason I found myself here: to try their Oktoberfest Italian sausage with grilled onions, peppers, and mustard on a French roll. I have to say, the Italian sausage on a bun was as good as any I have had at any Oktoberfest festival.The sausage was delicious and quite juicy. Both the onions and peppers were well cooked and tasted great, and they dressed the sausage with just the right amount of mustard. The bun was very good too. It arrived warm and toasty and had nice moist center and light crunch on the exterior. It was a great Italian sausage on a roll. Since they have a Tasty Freeze at the same location and it was Tuesday, I helped myself to a small vanilla soft serve dipped in chocolate for $1.49. It was a tasty treat indeed. Service was very good at the counter. Employees were in good spirits and were helpful with my questions. read more

We've been coming to this wienerschnitzel for a while now, we are local. We've always had great service. I will say this new younger crew i am impressed how polite and friendly they are. I always receive great service no matter what time of the day we come. Thank you ! read more

I'm not sure what's up with Yelp. I see there are a bunch of reviews I thought I already posted that are in my draft folder. I stopped in Weinersnitzle on Veterans day . They gave me a chili dog fries and a drink for proving my veteran Status. I bought some jalepeno poppers to round out the meal. The chili dog was nothing spectacular. Slopilly thrown together with more chili on the wrapper than I felt was acceptable. It tasted fine so no problem. I should have ordered extra onions but the dog was free so I didn't want to push it. Same with the fries they were ok but I prefer well done but since they were free I didn't ask for well done. My poppers were a surprise in that They we're filled with cheddar and my personal preference was cream cheese. They came with ranch but my personal preference is the rasberry sauce. Again the poppers were fine just not my preference .No problem here, note to self: go to Arby's when craving jalepeno poppers. My server was friendly and courteous. Took my order hcorrectly and even brought it to my table. I appreciated the free Veterans day lunch. read more

Order 3 bratwurst no bun. This is what i got. Idk pretty sure it's not bratwurst. Didn't feel like driving back so i thought I'd share this instead. All ways check the bag before you drive away. read more

Exceptional value on hot dogs, corn dogs (.99) and chili cheese fries. They offer daily specials. Excellent deals!!! 5 for $5 ( chili dogs and/or corn dogs)!!! Amazing offer. The Chili dogs were very good.... a little messy but overall good. The chili dogs were hot and the bun was very soft. Extremely prompt service here. Definitely use your coupons received in the mail. All Orders are made fresh while you wait. This location is very clean inside and out. Tables are clean. Plenty of eating room inside. Trashed not piled up. The staff here is friendly, prompt and puts customer service 1st. Parking is superior. Never had a problem. read more

Shout out to the evening shift. They were friendly and fast and their food was great.

So, I went back to this location today. Forgetting my previous experience. Had to throw away my food because I got a hair in my chili cheese dog. And when I say IN I mean I grabbed the hair and when I pulled it the entire bite of hot dog I had in my mouth came out. FUCKING WORK ON PEOPLE!!! GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER! read more

I haven't been to Wienerschnitzel in years, but my experience here was really good, friendly staff and great service! These guys, Uriel, Joe and Juan Coohran honestly went above and beyond what was expected. I hope this company realizes hard workers are hard to find nowadays. read more

The one star is for the good food. THIS location could possibly be not only the SLOWEST Wienerschnitzel in the chain but maybe the slowest fast food spots in ALL of San Diego. My God they are pathetically SLOW. I've been in a line 10 cars deep at In & Out that are faster than the service here with only 2 or 3 cars deep. Someone needs to get a hint here and not only happened on one occasion. Avoid at all costs unless you want to experience way below par customer service. read more

Very good food. Hot and fresh , employees are very friendly, look happy & very polite

Well, this is my second review. I went on Feb 28th and I could not drink the soda. It tasted horrible. They were improving, especially after my initial review, but it was bad. Does anyone else have this problem? I drink Coke or Pepsi and at some restaurants, they are good and others taste like toilet water. Can we please have the choice of bottled soda if restaurants can't serve decent tasting soda? read more

Took nearly 20 mins to make it through the drive thru that only had 2 cars in front of me. No cheese on the chili "cheese" dogs and the dork at the window forgot my mustard and ketchup after I specifically asked for them. This place sucks. read more

Stopped here to get food for my wife who loves corn dogs. Ordered 2 and fries and when I got home there was only one dog and the fries. I ordered a meal and got a drink I didn't even want because of the 2 dogs and fries deal. She was very disappointed and I felt badly as she hadn't eaten all day anticipating having this indulgence. Really poor job if you can't get an order correct. Plus I saw someone hand the person 2 dogs and they some how didn't get both in the bag! It's a shame you have to double check something so easy. Guess they've lost a customer. read more

The food wad good although I waited 9minutes for 1 CCB, 2CDs, and 3 CCD's with onion. The shift manager, Joe was complaining about how busy it got...6 orders between the drive thru and inside. All the employees looked unenthusiastic about their jobs. No smiles or laughter anywhere! Jason seemed to be running the back alone and did a good job putting up fresh yummy food read more

I would have given them 5 stars except when I came in the owners were yelling at the manager about allowing someone to clock in early when it was busy!!! Hay Erik. As a manager myself that is no way acceptable for you to treat someone like that!!!! She had every single right to allow someone to clock in early!!! I also want to thank Joshua for his great service and doing the best that he could do for it being so busy !!!! read more

One of the worst experiences I've had my chili dog was wrapped so tight you could see the employees fingers in 5he bun and my chili cheese fry had chili juice but no actual chili on them. And the fact that they have a tip jar is a joke.never going back here again worst wienerschitzel in san diego. read more

Every now and then you crave a chili dog. Its a weird craving but I actually had one the other day so I decided to drive down here to get some grub. They had a deal going called the $3 deal. You get 2 chili dogs and a chili cheese fries. Pretty good deal so I ordered that. As I was sitting in the drive through and pulled up to the window, the lady asked me what I had ordered. She got confused by something...I think maybe their computer system was down or something but anyways...after about 3 minutes she apologizes and hands me a bag of food. Good thing I checked because it was the wrong stuff. It was a hamburger and some chili fries. I pull over and go inside and explain the dilemma. I hand them the bag of food and they ask me what I had originally ordered. I told them and they got me my food asap. They then tell me I can take the other bag home too since they cant resell it. So I go from being a little pissed off to feeling like Lloyd and Harry from Dumb and Dumber......"Just when I think you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this...and totally redeem yourself!" It was a nice gesture and even though I didnt eat any of it, it was cool they hooked it up. The food was just ok. Nothing special but it did satisfy my craving. 2 stars for the food but an extra star for the hookup of the food since they messed up. read more

The one word that describes this Wienerschniztel is: NASTY! I have been here numerous times and the last time I went here my visit went from bad to worse. As I was waiting in line (mind you I was the only customer in line) I had to wait 5 minutes just to get acknowledged due to the fact management was trying to fix another customers order they had done wrong. Finally after I said something they helped me out. I ordered my food and the wait was an additional 20 minutes due to the fact that they were STILL trying to fix the same customers order. By this time, 3-4 patrons ordered after me and we were all getting inpatient. Finally the manager gave us some nasty deserts for making us wait so long. When I got back to work and tried the food, it was all burnt and old. It was my coworkers first time having Wienerschnitzel after 8 years, and will probably be his last time ever having it again. The staff and management team here are a bunch of "n00bs" that don't know how to run a business. I would recommend you try the awesome chinese fast food place located in the same shopping mall. read more

I just left this branch and I didn't realized they messed up my order until I got home (15 miles away). You can tell the girl who took my order and money wasn't the brightest. I should have known better to check my order before leaving. Now I'm still starving because I was short two hotdogs. read more

Wienerschnitzel - Came in at 1130am. No Ice Cream available. So much for that idea. - Hot Dogs Near Me - El Cajon, California

We waited over half an hour for two hot dogs and a corn dog. Why? Because the customer in the drive thru ahead of us ordered over 45 hot dogs all under the "Five for 5.95" special. Everyone is entitled to order whatever they please, but they ordered each set of five as a different order with different requests for each hot dog. Not counting the two orders of corn dogs he purchased (again under two different orders) that makes 9 different orders. Each always with five different requests for each dog. What made it worse that instead of collecting the customers money and politely requesting they park out front and wait for their 11 different orders, they left them in line keeping the five cars behind us, as well as us, trapped with no way out. When we finally got our order, there were no apologies and our food was ice cold. No way will I ever return to this establishment again. read more

The worst drive-through ever it takes them forever to get to you just on the speaker. Every time I come here and there's only one car in front of me I'm in line for over 15 minutes. It's not even worth it anymore the kids that were here don't have any common sense. I even tried going inside and seen the way they do things and they didn't even take my order at all for a while. Seems like they need some team building or some kind of orientation on how to run a place on the bosses in around. Also who runs out a hot dogs isn't that the whole deal. 190 ran at a hot dogs and I couldn't believe it and they were still open, the place just amazes me it's been sitting around for this long but someone really needs to get a hold of the kids that work there. I just ordered an ice cream here are three cars in ahead of me and I had to wait 10 minutes at the window for them to give me an ice cream read more
