Stopped in for a quick snack. Needed my first Chicago dog for this trip to IL. The building and dining room is nothing special but right in the Uptown Circle in the heart of Normal. The staff was friendly and talkative and fast. The dog had everything I expected. The bun was so fresh and soft. Met all my expectations as a dog lover. read more

Got an okay meal from this place in Normal known for hot dogs. It also has burgers including an Impossible burger if looking for plant based options. Windy City Wieners is where to find okay Chicago style hot dogs and some other things. Open late. This is good for if you get the munchies after a night of partying and smoking. Cramped place with not a whole lot of room inside. It's one of those places you order at the counter and wait around until they call your order. There's only a few tables. It seems most people get carryout. They have a few things besides hot dogs. It's about $9 for an Impossible Burger. This comes with ketchup, lettuce, mustard, pickles, red onions, and tomatoes. Has some basic drunk food. It's got a couple locations, including this one close to the ISU campus that's open later. There's a few healthier options, including an Impossible Burger okay for vegans and vegetarians. read more

My son and I came here before we went to the Children's Museum. What a great call that was! The food was great and I mean who doesn't like a charred piece of meat? I went with 2 Polish Sausages and the bonus was I got their Friday special on Thursday! Fries were great and perfectly salted. My son had a Char Burger and he dug it as he finished it. Now seating is very limited but the food and very friendly staff make up for that shortcoming. Also parking is limited as well. read more

Great dogs! Classic Chicago dog with good quality ingredients... what more do you need? It's my go to for a Chicago dog.

Review Visit: August 17th, 2014 Fun name. Delicious food. While exploring Bloomington-Normal one day, my friends and I came across Windy City Wieners. First, we chuckled at the name but then decided we should grab some lunch there. Firstly, Windy City Wieners is located in a pleasant place location in Normal. It's near the Amtrak station, the street it's on has lots of little shops to browse. There is a parking lot to park nearby so you can walk around and visit shops. Now to the food. My friend Matt and I stopped by for food. It has been a few years, so I don't recall what I had. But I do know it was delicious. So good that I wanted to order another dog or two. Matt also enjoyed his meal and wanted a few more dogs, too. My memory may be a bit foggy, but I do remember the friendly staff and how delicious the food was. Conveniently, they have 2 locations, so if you are in the area, you have 2 choices of where to get some authentic Chicago-style hot dogs. read more

Solid Chicago dogs! Staying the night on a road trip and found this gem walking distance from our hotel. Perfect snap biting into the dog with all the classic Chicago dog toppings. Fries were large cut & piping hot. We took our dogs to go & at at a nice shaded picnic area around the corner. Service was quick & price is very reasonable. Portions are generous. The restaurant is more of a take out place & has pretty basic ambiance for a quick bite. Cute little shop right on the main drag! read more

We love Windy City Wieners, Normal. Great food everytime and our delivery persons are always friendly. The grilled chicken sandwich is the best! read more

Excellent Chicago style Italian beef sandwich with hot peppers. My daughter had the corn dog and it was awesome as well.

We love the impossible burgers here. They are these best in town. Wish they had a Windy City Wieners in Northern Illinois. It's a 2 1/2 hour drive from our house but we always come here when where in the Normal/Bloomington area. Burgers are definitely worth the drive. I would have taken a picture but it was so delicious and I ate all of it. The fries were very yummy also. read more

Destiny and flip are the most kindest I have came, coming to Windy City. And Marcus perfect.

Good fries, nice place, good quality food at a low price. Will definitely return!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

where do I even start. This establishment is full of charm and good vibes. From the moment I walked through the door, the aroma from kitchen entered my nose and went straight to my heart. The food was absolutely phenomenal. I got the corn dog and butter garlic fries and let me tell you- they rocked my world. Don't even started on the exceptional service and employees. If I had a child, I would feel more than comfortable dropping him off at Windy City Weiners while I run an errand. So, if you're in the area and looking for the best meal of your life, look no further than Windy City Weiners!! read more

I got the Chicago style hotdogs and they were very good. The fries were pretty good too. I'll definitely be back here!

Excellent sandwich shop. Ordered the cheeseburger with everything and it lacked nothing! A thick, juicy burger for sure and I enjoyed every bit of it. Definitely will come here again when in town! read more

Great food! Great service and amazing patience. Thankful they were open when I was starving!

We live their food. The grilled chicken, pork tenderloin sandwiches are great. Delivery is prompt and employees are friendly.

$30 to have an Italian beef and drink delivered. Easily one of the worst I've had and they didn't add the cheese and toppings I paid extra for. read more

I love it when I see Chicago things when I'm not in Chicago. They have Chicago dogs and Italian Sausage, I chose 2 chili cheese dogs though. I like they even have the poppy seed buns. They're faithful to Chicago flag colors of sky blue, white and red. read more

Horrible Horrible Horrible!!!!! service. The first time I ordered from here they forgot my fries for my meal. The second time they put the wrong peppers on my gyro and the third I got gyro fries and they Gave me complete slop. I should've known it wouldn't be good when the delivery lady arrived at my BACK DOOR. I just moved here from the city and wanted something that tasted like home! this was a complete and utter disappointment JUST DISGRACEFUL DISTASTEFUL AND DISTURBING! I wouldn't even feed this to a dog on the street let alone another human being. FOUR slices of meat RINGED onions tomato SLICES and DRIED cheese on fries that 9/10 came out of the same grease as pork beef fish and whatever else they fry there. This place needs to be SHUT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Usually they are average at best. Undercooked food. Put our food on their Doordash rack even though we ordered in the restaurant. Waited nearly 30 minutes for just a hotdog and gooey fried mushrooms. read more

Best Chicago dog and Gyro I've had outside of Chicago. I've seen several reviews that complain about the service, but the girl who took our order was extremely friendly and helpful. I'd drive 1.5 hours from my house just to eat here. read more

I never write reviews but what my boyfriend and I experienced last night was horrible. It was my first time going and I was so excited but it wasn't worth it. The service was disgusting. The blond guy with the glasses and bun working on 9/17 at night was extremely disrespectful. He bent all the way over the cash register while we were paying to see if we tipped and when we didn't, he literally started complaining, yelling throughout the store "If the next person doesn't tip, I'm shooting the place up". The guy was also making jokes about us with the employees in the kitchen right in front of us. I don't care if we tipped or not, it's never that deep to be that aggressive and make paying customers feel uncomfortable like that EVER. The food was mid asl anyways, and will never be worth dealing with employees like that. And what I've learned after eating from Windy is that their prices for their quality of food doesn't add up. So now of course I don't feel bad for not tipping on top of paying high prices for, what I've discovered, is below average food. Personally, you will never see me spending money on this sloppy, poor excuse of a restaurant again. lol. read more

The menu is wide with many selections. Service is fast and friendly. I personally like the polish, hot dog, chili dog.... Ok, there's a lot of good stuff here. read more

I was very pleased with my time at this restaurant. I ordered the classic chili cheese dog which was amazing. The fries were also tasty. This is a perfect place to stop by for some delicious food if you're wanting something simple. 10/10 would go again. Definitely recommend! read more

By far the closet thing to a Vienna beef joint in BloNo. Great Chicago style dogs that are the best I've had outside of Chicago. But their menu doesn't stop there... their double cheeseburger with grilled onions is solid and they also have really good gyros. Personally, I think their fries are "meh", but I usually swap fries for other fried goodness. Speaking of fried goodness, you can't go wrong with their cheeseballs, mozzarella sticks, or onion rings. The Normal location only has seating for about 25 people, but they do quick delivery and carryout. Their website is very well made and easy to order and customize. They've got rotating daily specials and also about a dozen meals which are their permanent specials. The place to go when you're craving a Chicago style dog / burger / gyro. read more

Windy City Wieners - Legit, Chicago style dog. Closet thing I've had to a Vienna beef dog outside of Chicago. - American Near Me - Normal, Illinois

I must say being from Chicago and knowing where to get the best charred dogs and polish along with some great fries made me wary to try this place. But at 3am with drunken college kids everywhere this looked like the easiest line to deal with. I'm really glad I ended up here. The employees were all great here. The woman running the register knew how to get an order out of a drunk kid and move them along. The fact she was still smiling after each of these orders was impressive. I placed my order for a Chicago style polish sausage and some other things I was taking back to our hotel room for others and then waited near the pick-up window order. The two guys working the grill and handing out the food were a bit frazzled because some of the drunks didn't know what their number was or in some cases didn't even remember what they had ordered a few minutes earlier. But a delivery guy returned (college kid) and within seconds had sorted the customers, handed out the correct food, moved people out the door, grabbed his next batch of deliveries, and was out the door himself. Quite impressive at 3am. And the food was great. Grilled onions and mustard on the grilled polish were in perfect amounts and the fries were a perfect crispness and didn't have too much salt. It would be easy to to rude to drunk people and serve them lower quality food but this place didn't do that. I must assume that at 12pm they are even friendlier and the food just as good. I'll be happy to visit here again when in BloNo. read more

Windy City Wieners - great combo with fries,Italian beef was overflowing on the sandwich,and the sausage was excellent. - American Near Me - Normal, Illinois

Order was told would be over 1:30min like for hot dogs. Ok fine I wait now it's been 2 hours I've called and been hung up on after being told to please hold, only to have it picked up and hung up after 5 min. Then went to voicemail saying they are closed till the new year. What is going on? I still never got my food or a refund. read more

Absolutely the worst service! It takes a lot for me to write a review but the guy who sits on a chair with his ear buds in who literally acts like ever person who comes in to order is a bother is embarrassing for your company! I ask a question and am told "it's right there on the board" and then has the audacity to expect a tip! Won't be back again if i walk in and see this guy sitting there! You're cooks are more friendly than this guy!! read more

a) how yall gonna make me pay a dollar for cheese sauce and not give it to me and b) the hotdog crunch like plastic im scared c) fries SOGGY

This Place is Perfect! Food Is Heaven! Menu is giant! Nice employees! Food Explodes in your mouth!

Any place that will make me an Italian beef sandwich at 1 am deserves 5 stars. On top of that, the food is outstanding and not overpriced. The only drawback is that this place gets incredibly busy at night- the line can stretch out the door after midnight. This is a testament, however, to the quality of the food. read more

This place is horrible. The cooks half ass everything. They will always forget your fries, and their sauces are so watered down. Honestly disgusting overall. read more

After coming home to a menu hanging on our front door knob, we eventually ordered some hot dogs for delivery. Note** I thought it was free delivery over $10, turns out that's only with the coupon on the back of that door knob menu** The daily specials don't include a drink, just the dogs/ sandwich and fries, but the combos do. We got the Friday special, 2 Maxwell Polish sausages and fries, a chili dog, and a chicken tenders combo. The tenders were the same you get at Culvers, just smaller. All in all, the dogs weren't bad, the fries could have been cooked more and the hour delivery seemed a little long considering they are close. read more

I generally enjoyed their food and service. Chicago Style Hot Dog is my favorite, for the generous amount of pepper, pickle, and other veggies in the bun. Falafel burger is definitely one of the tops in town as well. I also enjoyed their fresh and juicy fried mushrooms. I got a bunch of their scratch cards, and apparently, all of them are free desserts lol! But the cinnamon poppers are so good! For a person who doesn't enjoy cinnamon, they got me! read more
