Description

Specialties

Welcome to the worlds largest hot dog chain located at 2501 Broadway in Sacramento CA 95 818 on the corner of Brodway & 25Th. One taste of a Chili Dog, Chili Cheese Dog or Chili Cheese Fries brings customers back again and again. Wienerschnitzel is the World’s Largest Hot Dog Chain with nearly 350 locations serving over 120 million hot dogs a year. For over 50 years Wienerschnitzel has become famous for it’s one-​of-​a-​kind chili, made from a secret recipe. Why does Wienerschnitzel specialize in Chili Cheese Dogs, Chili Cheese Fries, Corn Dogs and Soft Serve? It’s because we are proud of being unlike everyone else and we want to be the best at what we specialize in. This concept of daring to be different is how the company has behaved since its inception in 1961. For example, when everybody else was naming their business after their first or last name, Wienerschnitzel went for something that would really stick out. Also, to make sure everyone knew we had a drive-​thru, we put it right through the middle of the building! This willingness to stand out from the crowd is still alive and well today. We are the only place where you get bacon and ranch on top of your chili cheese fries or have a chili cheese fries on top of your hot dog and then finish it off with a dipped cone! It’s delicious and fun and it’s only at Wienerschnitzel. Wienerschnitzel also serves delicious Shakes, Cones and Sundaes made from Tastee-​Freez soft serve at most Locations.

History

Established in 1961.

Founded by John Galardi in 1961 with a single hot dog stand in Wilmington, California, Wienerschnitzel is a bona fide pioneer of the limited-​service food industry. Today, Wienerschnitzel is the world’s largest hot dog chain and home of America’s favorite Chili Dog. An iconic American brand with a devoted following for over 50 years, Wienerschnitzel is poised for exponential growth, both domestically and internationally. With a refreshed marketing focus, Wienerschnitzel has received tremendous media attention and accolades. Additionally, the company recently introduced a unique next generation store design featuring a smaller footprint and a lower cost of entry; while the simple menu allows for easy execution and lower food costs. As a family owned and operated company, Wienerschnitzel is in a unique position to always put its franchise partners first and is actively recruiting passionate franchise candidates to grow with the brand during this very exciting time.

If you are looking to buy a Weiner late at night or really anytime this is the place to come. Just a warning these aren’t your grocery store size weiners, these are about half the size. At the same time it will fill your craving. They also have good soft serve cones. We’ve only been through the drive through so I can’t say how the service is inside. The outside is pretty quick.
So, the next time you are caving a weiner this is the place you should come. they specialize in the things.

Apparently this afternoon I ordered some chili cheese fries with sour cream on top and a LONG CURLY HAIR MIXED IN IT. smfh this is one of the most disgusting things to find in your food. Hair nets should be a requirement when working in the food industry!!! I will be calling corporate to make a formal complaint.

My husband and I stopped in for lunch while shopping. The place was dirty and we had to ask to have the mustard smeared table wiped down. There was a homeless man asleep across one of the tables. My husband told the woman that worked there, she just ignored it and went back behind the counter. He was still sleeping there when we left. We have always enjoyed WienerShnitzel but will not be going back to that one again.

This location has steadily gotten worse. Every time I use drive-​thru it takes forever. Just order a single hotdog can take like 10 min with nobody in line ahead of me. The drive-​thru needs the display system to show what you ordered. The language barrier is always a problem. Also get the order correct to many leave later to find parts of order left out. Food is generally not the problem its ordering and the time to acquire the product.

In their defense I have never been a particular fan of the W! However, I would expect them to at least make an effort in customer service and quality to some extent. The couple of times we have gone to this location were only because the gidgets wanted the big W. I will tell you that we will never be back, at least not to this location.
On both occasions, the person who took our order seemed to not understand the concept of customer service or active listening. This is not rocket science and for that matter, we are ordering hot dogs basically! I am not sure where they find the people that they hire, but they might be better served looking elsewhere for their drive thru people.
The first time we went to this location, the lady working the drive thru not only could not seem to understand English even though it was clearly her primary language. Having to repeat myself five times for something as basic as two chili cheese fries and a pack of chili dogs is ridiculous! How she got a burger out of the first time I said what we wanted and some sort of polish sausage concoction the second time is beyond me. Each time correcting her and dealing with her increasingly foul attitude was enough to keep me from coming back a second time for quite some time.
The second time we went here, another (obvious MENSA member) was working the drive thru. Not only did she not understand a basic order, but wanted to give her unsolicited opinion on what was ordered. I do not need your personal opinions on my children’s food choices. I just need you to punch said order into your ordering system, have your cooks make it, and give it to me at the window after I pay for it. I also do not need you to comment on my choice in music when you have me sit at said window waiting for my food. I am sorry you do not like my choice in music, but hey, at least I was not blaring my music like the people in the car behind me that chose to honk their horn three times while I waited for my order.
As I tell my gidgets… life is too short to PAY to deal with this kind of chaos. Luckily, their latest hankering is for sushi or pizza (depending on the day) so no having to discourage them from wanting the big W anytime soon!

Love their Chilli Chese Fries, cant get enough. I wait all week for the coupons in the mail. I like to save money. Sometime the service is a little shotty but most of the time fast and friendly.

Love the chili dog. Especially when they are on special. .99 or less.

The food here is pretty much disgusting. I didn’t have time to find a decent hot dog, so I stopped here for a quick bite. I ordered the chilli fries combo with cheese. Immediately, I knew this wasn’t a good idea. To no one’s surprise, it wasn’t. I brought it back to my studio and opened it, it looked like shit. What I complete waste of money. I took one bite and the Chilli was so salty. I had to spit it out and threw the rest of it in the trash. I wouldn’t feed it to my worst enemy. This was about the worst experience I’ve ever had and trust me, I’ve tried plenty of crazy food. This just tops it all. Wait till you see my photos I’m posting. Next time, I’ll just go to Costco for their dogs. This place sucks. Please close it.

I would love to give them 5 stars but since they got rid of the turkey dogs I have no other options here other than the amazing jalapeño poppers… I love the cherry vanilla Pepsi!!!

I haven’t eaten at a Wienerschnitzel in probably 20 years, but I went here today, and all I have to say is, it was Awesome! My family completely enjoyed everything I brought home! The junkyard and the bacon wrapped hotdog was amazing! The owner is an amazing man with a heart of gold and because of that his staff and his food are amazing as well! Anyone who says they became ill after eating here must have been ill before eating the food because the place is clean and well maintained, I would never allow my children to eat food from a questionable place! This place is awesome! My mom said it was the best corn dog she has ever eaten, and that is saying a lot, because she has had her fair share of corn dogs, we have been attending the CA state fair for over 30 years!

Avoid this Weinerschnitzel at all costs. My wife and I got very ill (vomiting and diarrhea) within two hours of eating here. When I called the number, I got a fax and when I called corporate, I got a run-​around.
This restaurant makes me NEVER want any Weinerschnitzel again. So, thanks for the vomit and runny poops!

Have again: the 79 cent soft ice cream was 2 stars good and 3 stars bargain. Together, i’d have one again, so it gets 3 stars.

I was in there around 12:20 on December 14th. The cashier kept winking and being creepy towards my girlfriend who I was there with. We aren’t coming back to this one again if you let your employees think it is ok to harass the customers and make them feel uncomfortable. Also he didn’t give us a receipt either so nice job with that.
Hire people who know how to be professional maybe.

Bacon wrapped hot dogs? Really? Yes! Really!
The first time I saw bacon wrapped hot dogs was as a kid near where I grew up. I had pretty much forgotten about these things until I was in LA recently and all the street vendors were selling them. Then, much to my surprise, I found them at Wienerschnitzel. Bacon wrapped and then deep fat fried. Greasy you say? Not at all! The deep fryer is at the right temperature so that the dogs and bacon do not pick up any additional fat, rather the bacon sheds quite a bit of its own fat, leaving you with a wonderful, crispy coating on your hot dog. Pair that with some chili cheese fries and run for the tums afterward! So tasty!
OK, yes this is not the shiny happy looking place that it may have been when it was built sometime just this side of the bronze age but it is still standing and selling some fast, delicious food!

This is not a high class place, it is however tasty lightning fast food for end of the month money.
They often run things like 5 chili dogs for $ 5 which is a fantastic deal. When I was in college I used to hit this place up on monday and eat all week off of like $ 20. The food is fast, tasty and CHEAP. Is it high class, sweet leaping jesus no. Is the food high quality… higher quality than $ 0.69 grocery store ramen. I do like the chili here though so i think the food is tasty if noxious fume inducing. Seriously, hit the dollar store up for a can of air freshener before hand, I’m just sayin’
The seating here kinda sucks but the drive thru is awesome. They do a bang up business at the lunch hour so hit them up after 2pm if you want to save yourself long lines.

California has some bomb ass fast food. I mean the pizza out here is a joke (I’m from NYC so that’s not up for debate)… but the hotdogs at Weinerschnitzel has definitely got me happy. I was just talking today about how bad I miss going to Nathans in Coney Island and how all I wanted was a good hot dog and then I pulled in and ordered a pastrami dog.
Oh man… if I wasn’t positive that mama was like 9000 calories i’d go back right now and get another. The perfect dog… Pastrami and Swiss with a Pickle on a very tasty hotdog (tastes a lil bit like Hebrew National). It was mad good. We had the tastee freeze ice cream too which was off the hook. 5 stars to this place.
I didn’t go to this location though but since they’re a chain I’ll just review the one I was able to find.

This was my first experience at Wienerschnitzel.
For what it is, it’s good. I have my preferences, but what really makes the food is the chili. The hot dogs were okay, and the fries were just fries. What I really liked was the cheeseburger. The cheese, oh the cheese! Splendid.
Haven’t yet tried any of the desserts but I did have Jalapeño poppers and I very much prefer the poppers at Jack in the Box.
Although I like this place, I really have to be in the mood for it, as it is quite a while away from my place and there was a 27 year old who kept asking me for change.

Went for the 3 for $ 3.33(chili dog, chili cheese burger, and chili cheese fries). You might experience Montezuma’s revenge afterward but it is what it is.
They now serve nacho cheese if you prefer that over the shredded. They also have Mountain Dew’s Cherry Fusion– suprisingly good.
Wienerschnitzel is open ’til midnight or 1am daily. Most of the time, the employees have been cool, the wait time at the drive-​thru are high– you could turn off your car and cool your engine, listen to a couple songs on the radio before you get your food.
