Wienerschnitzel — Restaurant in San Antonio

Whenever we come back to San Antonio, I have to stop and get a chili dog from Der Weinerschnitzel. I have childhood memories of sitting in the back seat of my Dad's convertible at the drive in, digging thru the brown paper sack full of hot dogs looking for my mustard and kraut or chili dog before the cartoons started. Sometimes it was a "polish" sandwich. The look and the prices have changed over the years but thankfully "shrinkflation" hasn't ruined things at Weinerschnitzel. Thank you Weinerschnitzel! This location is clean, easy to get in and out, there are tables to sit at out front, and the staff are always friendly. Most recently, as we waited to order, a family that had rolled up in a black Escalade tried to pull an elaborate scam to get free food. ALOT of free food, like $58 worth, and thats ALOT of food from a Weinerschnitzel: 18 beef chili dogs with pretzel buns, like 12 chili cheese fries orders, a dozen cokes, a chocolate dipped ice cream cone and more and that was with some sort of discount they were given. After they changed and their order multiple times it was time to pay up as the huge order was being prepared in the kitchen. Surprise, Surprise, although the initial order was accepted, now their card was declined! And would you believe nobody else in the truck had ANOTHER card to use? The girl behind the counter suggested "call your bank" to see if they could reset the card to make the purchase, but then they would have had to pay for the food, so they refused to do that. As these "customers" ranted and raved, screaming, cussing and yelling because their card declined, the staff remained calm, polite and although rattled by the extreme rudeness and screams of profanity, the staff were professional and after zeroing the charge to their card, and eventually asked the screaming scam artists to leave. The potential thieves would leave to regroup in the Escalade and come back screaming again, with new tactics "I'm gonna call the company on you!" and "This is YOUR FAULT! YOU DO SOMETHING FOR ME!" and "CALL THE MANAGER! I WANNA TALK TO YOUR MANAGER NOW B*H!" and lastly "HOW AM I GONNA FEED MY BABY?!" After 5 more attempts, generally after each new customer walked in, they left with the girl licking her ice cream cone, but only after screaming about putting a "hex" curse on everyone working there. So my opinion of this little hot dog and burger stand has gone UP! In a time when we keep seeing videos of people attacking food and service workers, these guys deserve an award for keeping their cool, being professional and not letting scam artists manipulate them into giving them free food. Excellent job guys! And since I can't give you guys a tip, thank you for what you do! Keep up...

My wife and I went through the drive thru on May 13 shortly after 6pm. Whilst heading home we realized they had forgotten an ice cream cone. She gave them a call to let them know that I would stop in tomorrow for my ice cream cone. 3am that night my wife's phone receives several Threatening messages! A 16 year old employee got my wife's phone number through the restaurant's caller ID and takes our license plate number as well and gives it to his father! Enables his father to come by our residence at 3am with more threats! Again! We never entered the restaurant. We didn't know the 16 year old, however, the 16 year old knew us! The father's message said that I was on video entering the restaurant and that I was harassing the 16 year old. I never got out of the vehicle or entered the restaurant and I assure you "YOU DO NOT HAVE ME ON VIDEO except at the drive thru! This guy claims that he is my father's illegitimate son! He caused my father's heart attack! Then he forged my dad's documents! He claimed he was my older brother Henry Zimmerle III and sold my dad's properties and vehicles. He has a history of forgery to commit fraud! They may possibly be part owners of this franchise! The assistant gm. contacted the owner, but the owner refused to speak to us. This has been reported to SAPD. Further action...

I luv Weinerschnitzel. I was so happy to see this location open because we only had one near the airport. I grew up eating these dogs. My most rescent visit I was a wee disappointed that the dogs had very well cooked portions that were rubbery & oddly kinda crispy at the same time. I almost think they were salvaged from old corndogs but that is only my thought. Other then this ONE time, in the many times I frequent this place, the food is always hot and delicious. The employees are always well trained and very professional. I luv the icecreams, all the drinks especially the rootbeer, corndogs, mini corndogs, jalapeno poppers, chili cheese fries, kraut dogs, chili cheese dogs, junkyard dogs, chicago dogs. And their fries! Now these fries are not crispy they are soft. They have always reminded me of fries from my elementary school that I loved. So I love their taste and the wonderful nostalgia they call to mind and I never need ketchup. So do not be expecting crispy fries. You can also get angus dogs but I always loved the...
