The food was very hot and plentiful. I'm glad I got a small fry instead of the large. The small had so much in the bag! Nice hit and tasty. The Chicago dog. I never been to chicago but this was so good. The strawberry lemonade was huge! My kind of drink! Customer Service a 2/10! Got to the window one lady was cleaning . Which I respected! She washed her hands a trillion times. While doing so our eyes connected. No hello! You food is coming Nada. The lady that was getting my food. Looked back a few times no hello hey lady your food is coming nada ! Would had been nice for a greeting! When she came to the window finally. I was telling her thank you I appreciate the service hello. I didn't hear a peep. So they did send me a questionnaire to fill out. And as I said, the food was hot. I appreciate her getting my food. I appreciate the cleanliness. I just Would just like a greeting. I don't know. I'm just huge on greetings my grandfather raise. Just huge on it. And even if you don't greet if I say hello, say hello back. If I say thank you maybe you can say you're welcome. Say something! I will be back because the food was very good! read more

My Dad was craving corn dogs and a mustard dog so I was happy to oblige. I missed the PA system to order and drove right to the window like a bonehead. The cashier was really nice about it and took my order at the window. I asked if they had brown mustard (Dad requested) and they do not. I ordered 3 corndogs and 1 mustard dog for him. Unfortunately she only heard the 3 corndogs and "mustard" which is what I received. I asked about the mustard dog, big misunderstanding, and she ended up giving me a mustard dog which was so nice! I went back a couple days later to get myself some mini corndogs which were really delicious! Unfortunately the Polish Sandwich was on soggy rye bread - would have been much better if the bread was toasted. This used to be my Mom's favorite sandwich growing up and I was feeling nostalgic. But next time I'll just stick to the mini corndogs! read more

The Chicago Dogs I had at Wrigleysville Dogs in Chicago (review: https://yelp.to/2I071b59BZ) made such a huge impression on me that I thought I'd return to Wienerschnitzel after a thirty-year moratorium to try their $4.79 Chicago Dog and upgrade it to All-Beef (photo: https://yelp.to/dIG3CEO9Lf). It was simply decent because authenticity isn't the goal here. Turnover is. Of course I needed the small $2.49 Fries to ease my marginal disappointment (photo: https://yelp.to/hv7dXXFQ6t). FOOD - 3 stars...well, they call it a Chicago dog AMBIANCE - 2 stars...I was just at the order window SERVICE - 3 stars...they did their job (I think) TOTAL - 3 stars...go to Chicago for a Chicago dog RELATED - Exploring El Cerrito?

I waited in line to order about 2pm Monday, 4/13/26, and the Hispanic woman taking orders helped another Hispanic man that was behind me without acknowledging me at all. I repeatedly said, "Excuse me, I'd like to place my order." This is unacceptable and ownership needs to intervene. I chose to spend my money elsewhere where I am treated with dignity and respect. I will definitely be reporting this establishment for the blatant racism. I own multiple businesses in the Bay Area and if any of my staff treated the public the way I was treated, they would be immediately terminated. read more

This currently isn't on the menu but it's a 7-11 pizza with a Pork sausage smothered in Dennisons Chili with Beans.

Wienerschnitzel - Chili cheese fries - Fast Food Near Me - El Cerrito, California

Love this location. Absolute gem. Food hot and tasty. Quick and friendly service. Classic old school feel

I was thinking back about the old days when I was a teenager. Having the munchies and craving a Wienerschnitzel Dog. And how much I loved them. So I thought I'd swing into this one and give it a try and see if it lived up to my memory. The place was pretty empty. It was pretty run down, and it didn't look too clean in the parking lot around it. It was very uninviting. We used the drive-through. My wife had a regular dog, and I had the Chicago style dog with a side of chilly bacon cheese fries. The Chicago style was not even close. It was good, but I would say it was average. On the other hand, chili bacon cheese fries were really good. There were some other cars waiting behind us to make their orders and the girls that we're working inside were working pretty hard so I will give that to. Them but I didn't get any sense of cheerfulness are enjoying the work. Or hi how you doing today none of that. They get 1 star for the chili fries. read more

No..... Just no. Been a while since we had Wienerschnitzel as those in our area are gone now, but husband was in that area and so picked up an order on the way home - we were really looking forward to it! Long story short - we feel really ripped off. 6 hotdogs, 3 with mustard, 3 with mayonnaise... except they said they don't have any mayo... Oh well, I can put that on at home right? 2 large orders of fries and the total came to $24.39, a little pricey for hot dogs, but everything's gone up, right? Well, he gets home with the food and we begin to unpack - first thing we notice is the fries... very, very pale and blonde, limp and oily - for $4.19 you expect better - but I can always pop them in the air fryer for a few minutes, right? Then come the dogs... Pictures speak louder than words - see for yourself! It's like someone purposely gave each of them a couple squeezes to mess them up... all six were in this shape. No fresh hot dog on a fluffy steamed roll, only old tasting skinny hot dogs with room temp buns that had been compressed to the point of a gummy, Play-Doh sort of texture. But hey! We can just slap on some condiments and run them through the micro for a minute or two, right? WRONG!! Nearly 25 bucks, not one item served was good - NOT ONE - and that's where I hit my limit. At that price point, to be served trash like this (and that's where most of it ended up, in the trash) is adding insult to injury, and finally pushed me to the breaking point. We will certainly never purchase from here again! 2 stars for the nice gal at the counter who was friendly, negative 5 stars for food quality and cost - avoid this joint, get yourself some Ballpark franks and cook your own... you'll be glad you did. read more

If not because of the kids, I wouldn't go here. Yes, they make their orders fresh and I don't mind the wait. But every time, everyone of the staff looks like they don't like their job and got an attitude. The customer service is rude and petty. Management, please do better in training your staff to be more friendly to customers. read more

I never eat here but I wanted try it out. The burger is very lightweight overall. The bread is fluffy and kinda oversized for the small patty. The chili in the burger was very limited. It was hot and fresh but not impressive. Nothing special going on here. read more

Love the original A-frame drive-thru! So nostalgic to get chili dogs on a Saturday afternoon cruise!

A 32 mile round trip for 57 cent Chili Cheese Dogs? Of course! Luckily I was in El Cerrito for a meeting and I got an email letting me know about Wienerschnitzel's 57th Birthday. This store has been around forever. I'm sure it's destined to be a historical landmark. Or at best a hysterical one! The drive through is right in the middle of the building. It has the classic A-Framed red and yellow colors. I had two dogs al fresco, since there is no inside seating. Solid concrete tables and chairs provided a scenic view of San Pablo Ave! I took home A half-dozen dogs home with me to be enjoyed and celebrated tonight with my son. HBD Wienerschnitzel! read more

I joined the Wienerschnitzel's Wiener Lovers' Club and was excited that I got a free Chili Dog as a welcome surprise. I ordered the chili dog and was charged 3.29 and when I scanned the offer it only discounted 1.99. Seems like false advertising to me. I doubt that this location is culpable, but still. Normally, I'm of the mind that a discount is a discount but given that I came here for a free dog I was highly disappointed. Nevertheless, the dog was flavorful. I have nothing bad to say about their corn dogs (truthfully I come here when I get a craving for one). I come here infrequently enough to be continuously surprised at the rather large size of their medium drinks. Not bad, not good. It's a hot dog. Parking is plentiful but the service at the drive through can be kind of slow. read more

I was in Oakland registering to be a substitute teacher with Oakland Unified School District.There are no Wienerschnitzels in Sonoma County and I was craving for some hot dogs. At my high school in San Diego there was a Der Wienerschnitzel next to the campus and it reminded me to search for one on the way back home to Santa Rosa, I stopped by this Wienerschnitzel to order 4 mustard dogs to go. I asked to use the restroom and was told it was only for employees. I still had over an hour drive home so I had to stop by a gas station to use the restroom. The mustard dogs were good but I knocked off one star for no restroom. read more

Sometimes you just want a basic hot dog, nothing fancy. DON'T GO HERE!! My first and last time I'll eat at this nasty place. I wanted to grab something simple to eat and it was right next to the post office I was just at, so I walked over and ordered a mustard dog. Can't go wrong with a hot dog and mustard, right? After I had placed my order, I look inside this walk-up window and a random guy, leaning on his hands and the counter, grabs a bun, uses his ENTIRE right hand to spread the bun open, plops in the hot dog, squirts on the mustard. What's wrong with this picture? Dude had on no gloves and who knows where his hands were before he appeared and started my order. And who knows how clean that counter was he was leaning on. What a huge turnoff. This place is for people who don't care if "food" and "nasty" and "cheap" are in the same sentence!! Nope, not going back. These days, I don't see many workers touching food without gloves! This dude could have been picking his nose before he touched my food.....I'm just saying. read more

I came here for the 58cent chili dogs. I didn't feel cheated. I was starving, so I ate three of them. Decent dog, but why did they skimp on the chili? I was expecting more than a little smear. But again, it's tough to complain when it cost 58cents. I'll be back next year when they're 59cents. And can someone please clean the tables? read more

Nothing else to it. Food is good for what it's worth. But expensive so use coupons. Staff are friendly and hits the right spot everytime.

We stopped by for a mid-afternoon snack. I was very surprised to see how busy this Wienerschnitzel was. Some guests were parking in the lot and walking up to the windows to order. Others were simply driving through the drive-through to order. The constant flow of customers helped keep the food hot and fresh. Service was quick and efficient. The food? We got Chili Cheese Dogs, Corn Dogs and Chili Cheese Fries. Just as we expected. A bit salty, flavorful, simple. Just as expected. read more

Food is good but old guy owner's attitude sucks! Poster child for grumpy old man. He serves corn dogs that have been cooked and sitting in the fry basket for AT LEAST a good 5 min or more. Food doesn't need to be served fresh and hot anymore??? read more

There are not many places open after 10 pm in West Contra Costa County. So if I'm hungry on my way home I usually have to stop at one of the few fast food spot for a late night dinner. The Wienerschnitzel is open to 11 pm; it is easy to drive through and take my order to go then munch on it has I drive by all the places I would rather stop at. The hotdogs are okay. I guess. I usually get the polish sandwich. The sausage is sliced and served on rye bread with cheese pickles and mustard. It is pretty good. When I stopped this week I saw that they had pastrami as a limited time menu item. You can order it on a hotdog, on top of chili cheese fries, or on a sandwich. I tired the sandwich, like the polish it was on served on rye bread with cheese, pickles and mustard. The sandwich was better than I thought it was going to be. My only complaint is that the sandwiches are not cut in half and it makes it hard to eat and drive. read more

I've come here on the regular for over 30 years. In the last 15 years at least 5 times a week and since Ali left it's just gotten out of hand. I'm tired of having to ASK for the rest of my damn fries. If I paid for a large fry then you better fill the cup to the top. Not this half ass stuff. And then today the girl was so busy talking to some guy at the walk up window she threw my bag under the heat lamp because she didn't drop the corn dogs when I ordered them so the fries were just warm. What little I got of them. And when I told her to fill my cups up she had the nerve to side eye me and get an attitude. Wtf! Look at the picture of the fries I just posted and tell me that is 7.00+ dollars worth of fries. And that attitude has no place here. Ali would never tolerate that crap. Also Hands me the bags doesn't say a word. No thank you. No do you need salt or mustard. And turns to walk away. What kind of garbage service is that. None of the other people working here act anywhere near that. Just garbage service! read more

Have always thought it was Der Wienerschnitzel. Der's disapperance doesn't faze me, mit order (with or without) der, Wienerschnitzel in no way resembles Deutsche essen (german eats). until now. offerings: burgers, dogs, shakes, shakes, chicken schnitzel, "frosties", etc. eats: chicken schnitzel burger (3.59) -mayo, lettuce, pickle, tomato, honey tasted bun. fried chicken patty. passed on ketchup, mustard, blasphemy to put this on real schnitzel which this isn't. just fried chicken patty. real sch. is pan fried on grill. -FAKE german food, pales compared with the real deal. -interesting fried taste, otherwise none. take outs: -hot dogs/corn dogs also not authetic. read more

5 STARS for this location. The selection of chili dishes are always hot and fast! Can't go wrong with an order of 3 chili cheese dogs, chili cheese fries, and mini corn dogs.

Good old favorite! As a kid I can remember coming hear for chili cheese fries and corn dogs and I still do and it's a local favorite even for my kids now.

Corn dogs are nice and crispy and if you don't want chili on your fries your guaranteed to get hot fries ! It never disappoints ! Staff is always polite and the inside is always clean which is a plus! And if you have a sweet tooth their sundaes and chocolate dipped cones are a must! read more

This was my first time having Wienerschnitzel and it was pretty good. As a first timer I played it safe and ordered the classic chicken combo with chili cheese fries instead of regular but added 1 chili cheese dog to the order. It was so good, I wish that I had gotten 2. The chicken sandwich was pretty basic -- chicken patty, lettuce, mayo, pickles -- it was filling. The service was friendly and not too long of a wait. The kitchen area also looked fairly clean even from the drive-thru window so that's a PLUS! I would come back or recommend. read more

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, Fraulein! 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! read more

There is definitely a nostalgia to going to eat at Wienerschnitzel. I think of places like this as "what you see is what you get". Do they have affordable consistent food options for when that craving for a hot dog or shake hits, absolutely! And it's neither the best or worst hot dog/burger I've ever had but it's reliable and priced fairly with some unique ice creams and flavors as well. Also keep an eye out for coupons and free items! read more

Whenever I go, I order a 2 dog combo. So I was feeling a dog and figured I would get my regular two mustard dog combo. Guess what, no combos. When I asked at the window, he says that they stopped all combos because everyone was buying them. Hmm! The food is only as good as the management. I will stick with Sam's Doghouse when I'm in the mood. Better dogs for the price and has management sense. read more
