love the food, not really a fan of hotdogs but these hotdogs are different and definitely worth it. i always look for new places in idaho and this place was very unique. drinks are very large and cheap.

I haven't been to a Weinerschnitzel since George W Bush was in office. We all remember how bad the economy was back then. Anyways. What's new in the slim-downed location in Meridian? It's a small dining room but there's a patio and a drive-through lane. The inside is clean and fresh with framed images of Mr. Weiner himself. The restrooms were very clean and tidy. If you enter by the patio on the side, you'll go through the dining room and make your way to the front counter. Our first order taker was polite and after I lost the battle with my mom about who was going to pay, we all had a good laugh. He brought out our waters and then shortly thereafter our order in a bag. Everything was properly placed and well-marked. My wife wanted the All Beef Chicago without mustard, my mom wanted the same but with mustard and I had the veggie Chicago dog. The ladies also shared the chili fries with bacon and ranch. I did not partake in fries for obvious reasons. My veggie Chicago dog was great. My last veggie dog was from Uptons which was several years ago and it was not good. This dog was good and the toppings which included the celery salt and the peppers were a 9/10. A fully loaded veggie Chicago hot dog for less than $5.00 is a steal. The ladies enjoyed their hot dogs and I placed an order to go with Ayannah. She was very friendly and repeated my order back to me all with a smile. When the Fruit Loop Shake was ready, she brought it out and about 5 minutes later another employee brought out my son's meal which was the Junkyard dog, and chili fries. I'm not always going to have a veggie hot dog, but if I do, I'll stop at the Wienerschnitzel in Meridian and get one.

First location in Idaho, EVER! Tastes like a Wienerschnitzel from the past. Prices are up, but what isn't after the bozo we have in the White House. Good amount of chili on the chili dog. I always ask for onions and they got it right. Tried the polish sandwich but it hasn't been the same since they stopped putting sauerkraut on it. I think Jimmy Carter was president when that happened - figures. They sell their famous chili sauce in a can. Might have to put that in my survival storeroom for when the 2nd American Civil War breaks out. Easy in and out of the parking lot.

Kicking and screaming we came here tonight for a quick bite...I will start off by saying I really don't like hot dogs so that's the kicking and screaming part. But in a pinch we decided to relive our childhood growing up. This is as everyone knows is newer to the area and for those of us that grew up eating here know exactly what you are going to get. Inside was nice and modern not like the places back home. Service was also good and the young guy taking our order was very friendly. The only hiccup is they forgot my fries which good that we dined in and didn't get all the way home... Food is just like I remember and tasted the same. That's the secret in my opinion. My wife loves this place and is her guilty pleasure, but for me it's just a hot dog and as I stated earlier not really my thing. She had the chili cheese dogs and I had the Chicago dog with a chili cheese dog. Food was done well and brought me back a little. I hope this place does well and keeps it going. It was great to see while not a huge fan of chain restaurants especially fast food. But not like the other chains this is unique in away is they specialize in hot dogs and for those of you vegetarians they have a couple options as well.

Parking: parking situation is a bit tricky since the drive thru lines are long they sometimes block parking spots. Nothing crucial but definitely a bit annoying. Food/inside the restaurant: the food was as good as I remembered it. Worth waiting for. It's best if you get off and order but I will say...it's tiny inside the restaurant. They have a total of 5 tables inside to dine in. 3 tables that sit 4 people and 2 tables that sit 2 people. The workers were happy to help. Happy to deliver. Happy in general. We will definitely be coming back for more.

Okay I have to admit I'm one of those customers who could not wait for Wienerschnitzel to open. They did not disappoint! Yes it was crazy and my first hotdog bun was hard, however they were working at turbo speed with all the clients waiting to get in. My hubby and I tried them 2 days later and it was so darn good. I highly recommend the Chili Cheese dog and the fries were hot and mouth watering. Prices are a little higher than I remember, but it will not deter us from going back. The service was friendly and if you walk in; you can get your food a lot faster than the drive through. I'm still a big fan! Welcome Wiernerschnitzel to Meridian.

I was not expecting such a great experience on opening day! I've eaten a lot of Wienerschnitzel in my life, and the corn dog I got was the best yet! I also had chili cheese fries, which were also amazing. I'm so happy to have this restaurant in Idaho! The workers were kind and efficient even though the lines were crazy. There isn't much room to eat in - just FYI.

I overheard some people talking about Wienerschnitzel opening, and I thought, okay, I will go try it out, but I did not realize it was just their first week of being open. There was a massive wait at the drive-through line, but I learned from In-n-Out to just go stand in the wait line outside, which only took me about 30 minutes,and I had some very pleasant conversations with other people waiting. . Pros- Food was very tasty, well-packaged, and not overpriced. I ordered the Chili-cheese dog, Kraut dog, and the Polish sandwich. I made sure to get the Kraut dog with a regular weiner, the Chili-cheese dog with the all beef weiner, and, of course, the Polish sandwich had the Polish weiner. All tasted good, but nothing really stood out. My preferred way to order a hot dog is with sauerkraut and mustard,so I was very happy to see that this is their standard preparation on the menu. Chili-cheese dog was highly recommended by most of the people in line, and it was not messy and had full flavored chili. I can definitely understand why it is popular. All the staff were all very chill and not stressed for dealing with the high-turnout crowd. . Cons- There was no one outside of the restaurant welcoming the many people standing in line, as I have seen done at other restaurant openings in the area. I did not notice, but I wish they had some foot-long options, as all of their hot dogs seem kind of small. The dining room and take-out area are very small and not really accommodating for an opening crowd. There isn't any parking directly adjacent to the restaurants, but there is a large free parking lot, which is several yards behind the location. You will need to cross over the drive-through area to walk inside. Their app is only 2.8 stars and seems to not work very well, so I would not recommend downloading it. The manager was present and doing a good job, but he did not have a smile on his face, so that gave me a little anxiety at the experience. I wish the rest of the staff were dressed better and more presentable. It seems their uniform is just a dark, dirty t-shirt. . On my next return trip, I plan to purchase some of their other offerings so I can report on the French fries and Ice cream shakes, but I doubt I will be getting a Burger there, as that is not something they specialize in, and many places, I am sure do it better. Also, there is no report on the restroom situation yet, but there is one available inside. I'm giving a 5-star review because I see a lot of potential here, especially since the staff was so accommodating and the prices were quite reasonable.

Wienerschnitzel, Wienerschnitzel, this must be the place. You drive right up and they stuff a hotdogs right into your face! So went the Wienerschnitzel TV jingle from the latec1960s. That was back when Wienerschnitzel's drive-thrus split the A-frame building. Wienerschnitzel once operated a restaurant in Boise in the early 1980s but it closed long ago. I was glad to see the Irvine, California, company open a new restaurant, this time in Meridian, this week. I arrived on opening day at about 11:30 a.m. There were only two people in the line ahead of me. A couple of hours later, as word spread, it took people more than an hour. I had a chile dog and a Fanta orange float. The chili dog was as good as I remember it at age 10, the last time I ate at Wienerschnitzel. The only negative was watching the manager run around like his head was cut off, and that was only an hour and a half after the restaurant opened. I can't imagine what he was like at the end of a long, grueling opening day. He didn't make eye contact and did not welcome anyone to his new restaurant. Very surprising for a company opening its first Idaho location after the original Boise location closed nearly 40 years ago. Most restaurants and stores have people outside wellcoming guests, especially when there's a long opening week line.
