I come here a few times a month and the staff here and food here is great. They're super down to earth and their food is always fresh! never misses "the spot". Shout out to the crew here for disappointing! read more

The food is impeccable. I mean really how can you not like Chili Dogs and Chili Cheese Fry's?! The service here drive thru or walk up has always been great in my opinion quick and easy and they seem as friendly as can be for the miniature or two interaction. This is the perfect "fast food" place as it's so quick. The ambiance is what it is. You sit outside if you stay and get to watch the cars speed by. Zero complaints because this place is exactly what it needs to be. read more

Wow, that was BAD. Ordered "fish and chips", sea dog and a corndog. Everything was soggy. Especially the fries. Just plain nasty. read more

They are very kind but they do not pay attention to what is asked to be removed from the food. I returned the food and said what was wrong with my order and the guys said he understood and he still got it wrong and added more of what I did not want. read more

I'm a big fan of Chicago style hot dogs and wienerschnitzel has one of the best. I consider myself a foodie so this rating is not taken lightly. read more

The food is amazing and delicious. I was impressed with the great customer service of Star. She was very polite and professional patient. I am hard of hearing and speak very softly. So thank you. She is a great asset for your company. read more

Hadn't been here for years and had a craving. Ordered a lot of food and they were both fast and accurate with my order. Entire family enjoyed our meal. read more

This place takes me back! I didn't know what to get, because everything looked amazing. I ordered from their favorites menu. I got the kraut dog, Chicago dog, and Texas dog. All three were great, my favorite was the Texas Dog. As I sat there eating, I kept seeing a sign for a root beer float, so I caved. Totally worth it! Five stars for the fast and friendly service, great food, and being an American Classic. read more

First time ever at Wienerschnitzel. Got the chili cheese dog and the Chicago dog. Wow! What a treat! Both dogs tasted great. And the hotdogs were very flavorful. It's a bit of a drive for me so probably won't be going there a lot but will definitely stop by if I'm in the area. Great prices also. Anyone recommend I try their other items or just stick to the hotdogs? read more

It's been around since I was a kid, and it brings back fond memories of summer chili dog lunches. This is a great meal every once in a while, when you need chili fries or a corn dog fix. I love that you can upgrade the hotdog, bun, toppings or fries! I've had an all beef chili dog with cheese and onions on a pretzel bun, and it was great. They have limited time specialty dogs, like Oktoberfest or BBQ favorites sometimes. The other star is the soft serve! I'm not sure if it's still Foster Freeze, but it tastes like it. They make a mean banana split, and those are hard to find these days. The texture of the soft serve is like taffy, and it puts a McDonald's sundae to shame! It's also great that they're open late, because it makes a great opportunity to get late nite dessert when everyone else is closed! read more

Food: 3.5/5 Service and Setting: 2.5/5 Value: 2.5/5 It is a shame that one of my favorite fast food restaurants, Wienerschnitzel, is so far away from the Carmel Mountain area. I think that one in Convoy literally got burned down. RIP. This location has kept its unique triangle shape with a very short drive-thru and small parking lot. Be warned that if you do go into the drive-thru, you will not be able to turn back into the parking lot and be forced to turn into the main street. Service was good but the speaker is a bit hard to hear and service was very slow, shockingly slow. I had a digital coupon with a code and the worker helping me at the time turned me down. I haven't had issues in the past, so just be prepared with your physical coupons here. I just want to end this intro with the shock I have that Wienerschnitzel is extremely expensive now. I remember being able to get a solid meal for 2 with $10, but now that barely covers a solo meal. Chili Cheese Dog: 3.5/5 I need to admit that the standard for a chili cheese dog is indeed Wienerschnitzel's, but that standard starts at 70%. The hot dog, chili, cheese, onions, everything is super mild and barely passable as "real" food, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. I love the hotdogs they use here for their smooth and not overly aggressive salted flavor, but the lack of any sort of snap is really sad. Something that worries me is that the chili is shockingly starchy and translucent rather than a thick hardy chili. This does satisfy a craving that no other place can really do though. Mini Corn Dogs: 4/5 Just as legendary as their hot dogs, Wienerschnitzel's corn dogs, especially their mini ones are just as good. The coating is crispy with a slight sweetness without being overly greasy. The batch I had today was very aggressively salted, but normally that is not the case. The hot dog inside is the same as they use in their other hot dogs and has a very mild taste that allows that cornmeal batter to shine. A great option for picky eaters. read more

Don't get me wrong, Wienerschnitzel is my favorite fast food. But today was a complete failure. Ok, maybe not a complete failure because the corn dog was good, and so was the chili cheese dog. However... The fries were terrible! They tasted like they were deep fried, microwaved, and then fried again. They were so bad that after trying just a few fries, we threw them out. Tossed. Gone. Yuck. read more

Come here at least once to twice a month. Yet another establishment that seems plagued with staffing issues in todays economy. Never go through the drive through as most places seem to constantly mess things up even after repeating orders back. Will easily stand 5-10 minutes before having someone come up to take my order then while ordering get blasted with the exhaust of a portable AC coming from the 2nd order window. Constantly cut by "door dashers" that seem to think they're priority. Quite frustrating. From time to time orders will be wrong In some way that get corrected. I will continue to come back but just know it's not the best, friendliest and may need food checked for correctness. read more

I love going here for a quick bite with my kids. The food is always made on the spot and hot. The ice cream is creamy and delicious too. The best part is the food is still affordable. read more

Many people today don't realize how nostalgic and special Der Wienerschnitzel is (they dropped the Der long ago but this is what it used to be in it's hey day). This is now a relatively scarce fast food chain and one that really brings back the memories for us '70s and '80s kids. I'm actually very grateful we have one of these accessible in Escondido, they're just truly far and few between today. The menu is still there for those old enough to remember when: Chili Dogs, Chili Cheese Dogs, Chili Cheese Fries, Kraut Dogs, etc, only now, they have many new items. The place is great and offers a huge selection of foods beyond hot dogs and corn dogs including burgers, Mexican food, and fantastic soft serve ice cream. This particular store has some nice kids running it and they try and get your order correct and get it done quickly. If they don't, just politely tell them and they'll make it right. To give you a sense of how cool this place is, I vividly remember eating a Chili Cheese Dog in 1983 and remember how it tasted. It tastes EXACTLY the same! When we were kids and didn't have any money, we could hit this place up and stuff ourselves sick for under $5! Times have changed and so have prices, but the big W really hasn't. Magical and blessed we still have this important part of Americana still with us. Highly, HIGHLY, recommended! read more

Visited 9/18/2018 Who doesn't love The Classic Chili Cheese Dogs with Onions. I have been eating these for a good 40 years nothing has changed. Decided to grab eight of these babies to go home with yesterday for an evening snack. Very tasty. This store is just like all the rest with the same menu decent service. Nothing special just good ole historic chili cheese dogs. Yes with onions. I will be back again someday. read more

It was almost 10pm and I was in TOTAL NEED of a thirst quenching strawberry lemonade-and I'm super happy to know that they are still even open! It's fast food Yah-Yah and a hot dog joint but I'd give them 5 stars all day!! Their anniversary- 58th year in business and still going strong! Awesome deals even without coupons! Like the 58ct hot dog (limited time only) burgers, fries & desserts galore too with daily specials! Even this late at night I'm not the only one that loves them!!!Another plus for me it's close to my house. The next closet Wienerschnitzel is I think Convoy.? Then PB.. Um... FAR!!! There aren't many around any more. ( Still the old skool triangle red top roof, some outside seating and drive thru just as you remember since we were kids! Quick, great simple food and really friendly on the wallet! Lol. ***Warning!!!! You will probably order a few or 5 chili dogs even though you weren't planing too!! It's cuz they're are so crazy cheap you can't help it :D also if you're on a budget-pay attention to their weekly coupon mailers. :) so much food for a great price! read more

It sucks when you get home after a drive across town for a regular cheeseburger and they mess up your order with a chili Cheeseburgers

Great place to eat. Some outdoor seating. Tip: Bring coupons!! Drive through is open. Chocolate dipped ice cream cones are great!! Yum!! They also sell their own brand of chilly, if you want something quick and easy, for at home BBQ dogs, topped with their chilly. New items, pop up, from time to time. read more

Why aren't their substitutions in the crowd pleasers. Corn dogs for chili dogs?! Why why why why why why why why why. I could have spent $20 instead of $15 but no I could not get more chili dogs than corn dogs. Dont they cost the same? read more

Wienerschnitzel - Nice staff Great food been eating here since 1970 - Hot Dogs Near Me - Escondido, California

Wienrschnitzel lacks the panache of sonics but it's basic approach to dogs and desserts gets the job done at a fair price. The problem with hotdogs is that one rarely fills you up. I ordered the Chicago dog and they did a great job making it look like a real Chicago style dog. There were sport peppers, onions, tomatoes, and even seasoning salt. One could argue that it was 70% condiments, and 30% dog but the flavor was 100%. One of these did fill me up for lunch. .25 cent mini corn dogs.. A great value and maybe 4 or 5 would make a cheap kid meal. Ice Cream Treats! read more

My roommate and I had a strong desire to take a small drive around town and pick up some ice cream or a milk shake. It was 11 pm so we looked what was opened and picked weinersnitzel. The sundae was good and the banana split was fair but the people working there that night were exceptional! Friendly,nice and helpful !!

So much for fast food. 20 minutes to just order. Waited 10 in the drive through. Cars weren't moving so decided to park and walk up. Bad idea. Should've just left. A family of three were ahead of me after they ordered I waited and waited and waited. No acknowledgement from staff. The icing on the cake was the lid to my drink was not on securely and spilled on and my car. Lovely. If you have a 30 minute break, don't come here. read more

It's been years since they closed down the last Wienerschnitzel closest to Portland, Oregon. This February we drove down to San Diego to visit relatives. We had stopped here in Escondido for our hotdog fix. Food is good, a little bitchy attitude in the front counter. read more

This is a review of dinner at Wienerschnitzel on East Valley Parkway in Escondido. http://tinyurl.com/m23n4nr First, I admit I love the 'snitzel. Always have and I am sure I always will. The ambiance for this one is basic. You order at the window. There are a handful of outdoor seats. The area was kept clean. There are no indoor seats. There is also no public washroom. The service was a tad off. When we first arrived, the person was in a discussion with someone over a resume. I believe customers should always come first. Then the person started taking our order. Halfway through, he handed us off to someone else. This ended up leading to the order being taken wrong. When we received our order the corn dogs weren't there. It turns out that in the hand-off she had missed this part of the order. If it had been a take-away order, it would have been a real pain. But, since we were eating there, it wasn't that big of a thing. http://tinyurl.com/keryowz http://tinyurl.com/lm7dej8 The food was 100% what I expect from Wienerschnitzel. It was also freshly prepared. Well, except for the corn dogs. I think these were not. They lacked the crispness from a freshly fried corn dog. The chili cheese dogs nailed it though. I am not sure what it is I like some much about these. They seem so simple. But the way they come together are just pure heaven to me. http://tinyurl.com/lwsjlc3 Wienerschnitzel's fries have always only been a tad on the average side. But they salt them aplenty and this elevates them to the next level. Oh, and when they say large, they mean it. It is a big ol' cup of fries. I think it is easy for two folks to share one of these orders of fries. My brother also tried one of the Junkyard Burgers. He enjoyed it but thought it should have more chili. But a burger with fries on it has to be a good thing, doesn't it? http://tinyurl.com/mnjhube Receipt (dinner for two): $17.98 + approx $5 (for the missed corndogs) = $22.98 give or take a few cents. http://tinyurl.com/mkttqll Overall - The food was spot on. It was exactly what I want from a Wienerschnitzel. The service was just a bit lacking. With the limited seating, if it was busy, you might have to shoot for takeaway. You certainly wouldn't want to wolf down these wonderful but messy chili dogs in your car. I would certainly go back. read more
