Personal Transparency: I grew up riding my bike with a childhood best friend Michael to the Wienerschnitzel down Carson Street. It's a small, old school built one with a very small dining room and drive thru.......; SO.... knowing that THIS particular Wienerschnitzel in the Harbor Gateway area is much larger and with a way bigger strip mall that is shared with a pretty good Taco Bell and normal Walmart...; is kind of cool to me. The NOW: The parking lot is a plus, their restroom isn't the best, but it's decent for a damn Wienerschnitzel. I was laughing at how you had to have special instructions to lock one of the doors, but it is what it is. Their staff was mostly consisted of a nice mixed variety of young workers who seem as if they want to actually work to pay for their expensive iPhones and Harry Styles concerts or whatever the hell them kids are into these days. The young Black lady with glasses helped me and she had a great personality doing so. Man! I got my food pretty damn fast! My order was a 6 piece jalapeño poppers and a regular size chili bacon ranch fries for a nostalgia mixed with present kind of meal. For what I paid, it wasn't bad at all and if you actually keep those coupons you get in the mail, you can actually get food cheaper here like back in the days too still!!! Very very cool! I still need to come back and try their other stuff like their Tastee Freez shakes, Sundaes, mini corn dogs, etc.. 5 stars for this not so bad, spacious and decently clean with great customer serviced Wienerschnitzel!! I will definitely come through again!!! read more

I normally go to the one in Huntington Beach: this one is much worse. The woman taking orders has trouble with English: listening, understanding and speaking. The ingredients are old and probably expired. I got a hot dog and the pretzel bun was hard like wood probably weeks old. I asked for lettuce wrapped burger and it was very poorly crafted: the cook removed the bun and stuck some little lettuce pieces to the patty; not wrapped tightly with large leaves read more

Came here with a guest and we both agreed it was time for some good old-fashioned chili dog decadence. And while the review certainly didn't reflect this as being a place to come to, that was quickly turned around by CSA Customer stomer service All Star Omar. Omar was great for a number of reasons, but principal among them was the fact that he directed my guest and I to another special deal that had it not been for him, we would have paid more and gotten less. The pictures may or may not do these justice, but when I tell you things came out hot like oven hot, it was delicious. I highly recommend this Wienerschnitzel and if you're lucky to get omar, then you are good to go. read more

Used their drive thru service and they got my order wrong. Simple order of no mustard but ketchup only. Luckily we were still in the parking lot. We turned around, but management needs to know that they messed up. Their polish dog sandwich is not good at all as are their fries. Don't waste your money. read more

This location seems under staffed. There was a long waist time and the order was incorrect. Ordered the chili cheese dog combo with a pretzel bun and a sundae. Got charged for the bun and a shake. They didn't change the bun to the pretzel bun. read more

It was clean inside and relaxing. They were playing Better of Without You by Mia Vale. Totally empty inside too, a great place to come chill while stoned. It is more expensive than Taco Bell next door, but they do have a veggie dog which is fine for vegans without modification, and another one which you only have to remove the cheese from. Above average fast food, but unfortunately fast food nation wide has relatively lower value these days. I'd like to see them improve and offer more vegan options. Maybe vegan cheese or cheeseburgers would be good and more vegan meats. read more

Holy crap you guys need to hire more employees. I've been waiting in the drive thru line for nearly 15 minutes, and I haven't even gotten to the register yet! Stop being so cheap and HIRE MORE EMPLOYEES. YOUR EMPLOYEES ARE OVERWORKED. read more

Amazing service and friendly environment, the food was good and I like the corn dogs.

Yummy veggie hot dog. Excellent shakes. I like making the chili and cheese fries into cheese fries and it hits the spot.

Was in drive through and it took very long for having only two cars. I was the 2nd car. I ordered 2 corn dogs and 1 small fry. I don't understand how I can get old double fried corn dogs where one of them just looks this bad. The team working today is not a good team. read more

Food was good. Service was quick. went through drive though. Chili dogs and corn dogs

It was one of those bizarre days. I woke up and thought, "Huh, I haven't had Wienerschintzel for DECADES." It has been a long while, and although I remember it not being that great, I couldn't remember what any of their products tasted like. We were a party of 3 in the car and although car mates initially didn't show any interest, they decided as soon as we got to the drive through that they were gonna partake in it. One, like me, hasn't had it for decades, and the other has never been. Didn't feel like a hotdog so I went for a regular chili cheeseburger and an order of chili cheese tater scoops. The rest of my party went for a Chicago dog, another chili cheeseburger and chili cheese fries. VERDICT: it wasn't bad! The chili isn't salty nor did it have beans (CHILI SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEANS!) Fries under all the cheese and chili was pretty crispy and my burger, although not the greatest, was also good. What I liked most about it is that it wasn't drenched in chili. It had just the right dollop. Presentation was a fail, but then again, I didn't expect much. FOOD: 3.5. SERVICE: 4. Long line at the drive thru but we got outta there quicker than I expected. VALUE: 3.5. $20 for everything. PARKING: N/A (came by via drive thru.) OVERALL: 3.75. You hear stories of how their quality isn't even at par, or that generally it isn't that great. Even Hubbers spitted out a big, "WHY!?!?!" when I told him that's what I was having for lunch. But it really wasn't that bad. Heck, it's good enough for me to not wait decades for another visit! So, yeah, I think I'll be back sooner than that... read more

Food and customer service are terrible. Ordered a corn dog and it was ice cold... I took it back and the lady ordered another corn dog in Spanish... if I didn't know any better I would have thought she re-bagged same old and cold corn dog. I just threw it away. No time to take it back. Waste of time and money read more

Honestly so disappointed, went to this location cause it's right by my work. When I pulled into the drive thru there were only 2 cars in front, the first was done by the time I ordered but the 2 car was such a long wait, I finally pull up and got my stuff fairly quick.. however, I got the mango lemonade that taste nothing like lemonade, taste like an ice tea.. I also ordered a 12p jalapeño poppers, which o normally don't considering they're like $8/9 but got them to share with co workers.. basically just gave me a box of the shells of the poppers! Then barley had any cheese or jalapeño bits in them.. just dried up with a couple bits of jalapeños!! Next time I'll save myself the disappointment & get them next door at Carl's... read more

On Nov. 15, 2023 at 3:07pm my bf and I went to the drive-thru for some chili dogs after shopping at Walmart before heading home. There was a young latina girl working the drive thru window who took our order (which came to $13.95). My bf paid her with cash - a $20 bill.  She took the money and gave him a $5 bill and a nickel for change, but she didn't give his receipt. Me and the bf said nothing, we just looked at each other with raised eyebrows and waited until after she gave our food; then asked her for the receipt. She looked a little surprised when he asked, then she stepped away to a different register to print it. The receipt showed that our change should have been $6.05 not $5.05! So she kept a dollar and tried to withhold the receipt hoping we wouldn't notice - but we did. It didn't seem like a big deal at the time but after thinking about it, if she's stealing $1 from every cash paying customer during each shift she works, she's bringing home quite a bit of extra cash. So just a warning: if you go to  Wienerschnitzel #704 on 190th & Normandie (in the Walmart parking lot), Make sure you get your receipt (and check it closely) and count your change or you just might get ripped off too. Of course she can't short- change you if you pay with a debit or credit card, but that's a whole nother risk. Anyway, I hope the manager sees this and does the right thing because prices are already too high, we don't need shady workers helping themselves to our leftovers (aka change). read more

Good Service and food was fresh. I will definitely go to this wiener schnitzel again.

Prepare to be served by slow kids...or maybe they were high....possibly both. Lots of giggles and waiting while they figured things out.

The chili on the chili dog was cold, same for the fries and the cheese. I think the store is just poorly run.

So I wanted a veggie dog. I wanted to grab a hotdog hop on the freeway and get on with lunch. I was maybe third or fourth in line by the time I ordered and that's enough time to get hot food. I'm trying the backyard veggie dogs. I usually only get the bbq veggie but I'm feeling adventurous. so I order then wait for two vehicles ahead then I pay at the window but then there's still a slight delay. I get food and pull over so I can get everything situated. I noticed the cheese is not melted. OK visually that's a turn off. Oh but then I noticed the bottom of the box is not warm, I lift up the hotdog and it's hardly warm. Now I'm wondering what did they do, Just run the hotdogs through hot water and put it in a bun. Now I gotta nuke it myself when I get back to work. I'm not going back over there because I'm practicing patience and kindness towards others and I don't want to be the one caught on the news climbing through the drive-through window. Why do I have two cold hot dogs? read more

This place has the worst customer service. I entered the lobby and there was no one there but myself. There were three workers behind the counter and not one of them acknowledged me. I stood there for 5 minutes. I then turned around and walked out the door. You will not treat me poorly and take my money! Do better Wienerschnitzel !!!! (Don't you great customer service is power?) read more

Well I normally come here when I leave Walmart I haven't had any problems. But today around 1130 I stopped and got some food a.m. and the lady that was taking my order act like she had an attitude. I get my hotdogs well done all the time so I know if you actually left them on the grill for a couple of minutes longer I've been into my hot dog it was nasty and machine almost like they did the opposite because I asked for a special request. So no I'm not coming back to this one again. I'll stick to the one that's either in Lakewood or near Harbor UCLA. Very disappointing read more

It's always a pleasure to visit this particular location. Not only is the food a treat but the staff is very friendly and attentive. Overall great customer service! It is conveniently located on the corner of this Walmart shopping center and it is well groomed. The landscaping is impressive and it makes the restaurant look very welcoming. I can say I will keep returning mostly when they have deals going on, like $.58 hot dogs! read more

All beef dogs are now $1.50 more. (Used to be $1.) The last 2x I went, my dog tasted old and seemed dried up. Those visits were weeks apart, so why? Surely there's a time limit on how long food is allowed to sit there after being cooked? Anyone out there know? Plus, the last time I went, I asked for an extra ranch for my jalapeno poppers. When I was handed the bag, I asked my passenger to check my order. Only 1 ranch in the bag. I finally got the attention of the cashier once more (thankfully, there were no cars behind us), and told her I'd only received the 1 ranch. She said something to the effect of, "Well, it only comes with 1, and an extra is 38c. So, that's why I only gave you 1.". Yeah, except I asked for an extra 1...couldn't quite understand her logic. Cos she could have told me that when I ordered, and left it up to me as to whether I wanted to pay it or not. I paid it and then got my extra ranch. After eating the all beef dog and only a couple of the poppers, I got an awful stomach ache. Not usually a good sign, and a first for me after eating those 2 menu items. It's a shame that the other 2 nearby Wienerschnitzels are no longer open after 11 pm. This location is, but I won't be going back there any time soon. read more

This Wienerschnitzel is OK. It's not the old pointy style order outside type building. This is the typical fast-food square no-real-character-to-the-building style. But that means there is inside seating. They also have a drive-thru. Oh and plenty of parking. As far as the food; the all-beef hot dogs are pretty good. I don't mess with the regular dogs. The fries are OK. I don't like the icecream they serve. It doesn't taste real. It stays pretty clean inside. It's not the most comfortable place. But for 5 minutes, it works. read more

Came to grab lunch here and the dining room is not open... And I drive a work van that does not have clearance for drive-through so I got off and usually they'll let you get orders without having to go through the drive-through. But the lady on the cash register said she couldn't do it for me and there was four different people working the kitchen and they couldn't take my order... So disappointed read more

So I haven't been to Wienerschnitzel in awhile and now a remember WHY! Let's talk about their chill in a can...Gross! Please Wienerschnitzel STOP making it about money and make it about quality... this what's WRONG with these fast food restaurants today and they wonder why their margins are so low! Trouble! Trouble! Trouble! Trouble! read more

Wienerschnitzel - Chill Dog! - Fast Food Near Me - Torrance, California

Big NO! SO Disappointed!!!. Saw a specials banner, so drove down to my Wienerschnitzel. They just kept asking me for a code. I was showing them the special online. But they kept harping about needing a code. So they charged me full price! I cut my order in half! And this location is SO SLOWWWWWWWW! I do NOT recommend this location AT ALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE HERE. I didn't care for the managers attitude, either! Got home and found a "code". I want the difference back, but who has the time and energy to go back, stand in line again, and get my money back? Costs more has to get back there. They SHOULD have honored what I was showing them online. read more

Went here and ordered. I realized that the coupon i ordered with was expired. The girl(Ana?) who took my order said it would be fine, when i get to the window different story. Moral of the story, don't be like Ana, don't tell the customer it's fine and then 2 minutes later switch up your answer, probably why she has a career in fast food. Don't know if I'll be supporting this business again. I don't know who packed my fries but they did a terrible job. They have to pay me to ever think about eating here again. read more

Long story short: BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. Long story long... Today I entered the drive thru to order. A woman named Karen began to take my order asking me a seemingly canned question about ordering the new fish. I responded no to ordering, then asked when did you begin serving fish. I got no response, but I was asked how can I be helped. Pondering between the regular chili cheese dog and the angus beef versions for about 3 seconds, I began to order. At the same time she began to state, "Let me know when you're ready." I paused because I was ready and ordering. After a 2-second pause she proceeded to question, "Are you ready?" I responded with yes. She said with an attitude masked by a chipper voice, "Then how can I help you?" I responded, "You know what, I'm coming inside." I backed out the drive thru and proceeded inside. There was a gentleman waiting before me. After about 5 minutes of employees walking back and forth seemingly to restock cup holders, a woman "Vanessa" finally stated, "I will be with you in a second." After another 5 minutes of watching, the gentleman before me walked away disgruntled having never ordered. I was lied to the register and asked for the manager. Vanessa stayed that Francisco was out but she was in charge. I described to her my terrible experience both in the drive thru and inside and she rolled her eyes. I then asked her for the drive thru person's name and she stated Karen. I asked how to spell it, and received another sarcastic eye roll seeming to demean my intelligence, as if there aren't multiple ways for a name to have been spelled. All in all, I understand why this location's Yelp rating is as low as it is. It is terrible and I do not plan to patron here again. read more

Came here to pick up lunch since the one i always go to was closed due to a break in the night before and the police were doing their stuff today. This place however is located in the same location as Walmart and other fast food joints so traffic can be a pain as well as parking and the one big pain is when exiting one of the major exit driveways you can only turn right onto 190th and no turn on red as well. The one good thing about this one is they have a drive thru which moves pretty quick. Overall not a bad place but during lunch hours especially during the work week it can be busy and traffic a pain. read more

I'm pretty anal when it comes to customer service. Yes you heard it. If it's worth commenting, I go out of my way to say what needs to be heard good or bad. Don't know what the complaints are about, but I've been going here for many many years. Every single time, has been an exceptional experience. I've been here different shifts, different times, different days, and the customer service is consistent. They know their products very well, very attentive, friendly, and on point with getting the order correct, and responds to whatever the customer needs. They've been many late night visits as well and I can remember one gentleman who was very very nice and very patient. It was late, and still provided great customer service. Tonight, was another pleasant visit. Miguel working the shift this evening KNEW HIS PRODUCT. He got everything down on point. He was a good listener and provided options as well as getting everything correct flawlessly. He was nice, and food came out quick and hot. Keep up the good work guys.. read more

3 for $3 Yeah, they entice you with big posters, 3 chili dogs for $3, but you know the chili cheese dog is better... Then you succumb to the upcharge for the cheese, then they offer the polish dog and you smile and say, hmmmm, that sounds good... Now, you're at $3 each instead of $1 :( Good marketing. Then you get your doggies. Somehow, it all seems worth it when they come in a nice little box. How can something be so wrong, yet, be so right? read more

Wienerschnitzel - Chili cheese - Fast Food Near Me - Torrance, California

Well, if you like Wienerschnitzel, you'll like this place. Why? Well, because they have chili cheese dogs, of course! So why 3 starts instead of 4 or 5? Well, it's in a so-so neighborhood, the parking spaces are tight, the inside is a bit dated and the bathrooms could use an overhaul. If you'd prefer not to go inside, they do have a drive thru so that would eliminate most of the negatives. Don't get me wrong, they keep the place clean but there's only so much you can do with older decor. But, the food is good and tastes like every other good Wienerschnitzel out there. They also have the Tastee Freeze inside so you can get ice cream for dessert if you're not full from all the chili cheese dogs and chili cheese fries. All that being said, if I'm in the area and craving a chili cheese dog, I'm going back and I'm eating inside. Too good and too messy to eat in the car, at least if you like a clean car. Hope you get a craving soon, if so...enjoy! read more
