Wienerschnitzel

I came here late last night around 11:15 PM with a strong craving for corn dogs. My boyfriend and I decided on sharing a 20 pack of mini corn dogs with some bacon ranch chili fries and he also got a banana split.
I’m going to start with the positive: the fries were amazing! They were delicious and we scraped the box clean. Which is why they got an extra star.
Now the bad: The banana they gave him in the banana split was overly ripe and had black spots in it. So gross! Despite that, he enjoyed the other parts of the banana split.
Now this is why I’m truly complaining, we open our box of corn dogs and they were completely CHARRED. It is ridiculous that they would be willing to give burnt corn dogs to paying customers. It’s not like we came right before closing, this was still during their hours of operation. We would have gladly waited longer for fresh, properly cooked ones. It was clear that they were trying to cook them faster because the outside was charred but the inside dough was sticky and raw. It is completely unacceptable to give paying customers something that is hardly edible.

I went into the El Cajon location last night with my family for dinner. After we ordered our food and sat down my wife mentioned to me that the food preparers were not wearing gloves. I shot back well Im sure they wash their hands and dont just handle the food. I said that as a distraction. So there I sat as we were all eating watching the 3 men working going back and forth from the drive up window, cash register and food prep area. Sure enough after handling food trays and cash none of them washed their hands and went straight to picking up and handling the hot dog buns with their hands. One of the workers Sebastian prepared a banana split and I watched as he cut the banana in half then with his bare hands pulled the banana out from the peel and placed it in the tray. At that point I had enough dumped everything in the trash and left. I’m absolutely disgusted with the practices of this operation and the health department needs to take a look into this establishment immediately. I don’t believe this is how you want your franchise displayed so you should look into this immediately as well. Burger King, Taco bell, McDonalds, KFC, etc… all use gloves when preparing food. Is this common practice to not wash your hands touch all kinds of bacteria then spread it onto the food your customers are paying for??? Disgusted and $ 30 down the drain

Interesting part of town but what else do you expect all I could say is chili cheese dogs!

Very clean location and great customer service! Love their chili cheese fries and corn dogs!

For a fast food restaurant overall quality was good. Food was hot and staff was professional. Facility was clean from what I could tell but I did go through the drive through.

I have never had the worst service from a place in my life. They can never get an order right, sell fries that have been sitting for so long they are stale and cold. The main manager jovan hides in the back and doesn’t help with the problems. And the other manager is rude as well. Not professional at all and down right disrespectful too. I don’t pay for service for an employee to call someone a rude name.

Great food, easy to park or go through drive through. We got the corn dogs and chilly cheese fries. There were great!

Been there three times for take out. Always clean, fast and the food is good and hot. Staff always friendly and seem to enjoy thier job. Hard combo to find in fast food these days!

This place is always clean & the all-​beef kraut dogs are awesome. Fries are always nuclear hot & crispy.

Used to be really good back when Joaquin worked there. Seems ok now. They must have redone the dining room as there used to be a lot of carvings in the wood paneling in reference to someone named Ed and his spending habits.
The area is a bit dicey though. I have seen homeless people urinate on car tires as well as kids with rotten teeth hanging out near the dumpster.

I decided to try their Angus & Pastrami Dog on a Pretzel Bun because they look very good on their advertisement.
When I arrived it was not very busy so I got to order right away. I ordered the dog with a unsweetened iced tea. The dog came about 3 minutes later. It came in a little cool little container. (
) The pastrami do looked great when I open the container, but much smaller than the visual of their advertisements. Isn’t that the way it always is? (
)
Putting the size aside. I dug and took my first bite. It was a yummy bit for sure. The tender pastrami was tasty, the angus full of beefy flavor, and the cool pickle spear and mustard went perfect with the dog. (
) The pretzel dog was moist and yup, it tasted like a pretzel. I just wish they would of put rock salt on the outside of the bun. That would of been awesome.
The girl who took my order was very cool and friendly when she brought my order to my table.
Give me an angus pastrami dog any day… and I will eat it!

My significant other and I were craving a pastrami sandwich for so long now and we had a coupon for a dollar off each sandwich (two maximum for the coupon). We decided to give it a try, the ads looked good. After a long day of grocery stores and errands we thought it would be nice.
So I ordered inside instead of the to-​go line since I wanted to make sure they got the orders right. I didn’t want any processed cheese on them and I don’t know how many times I have to tell places NO CHEESE before they can get it right.
They have the inside of the place nicely decorated for Christmas (silver tree with red bulbs that looks very festive). And the place was tidy and clean. The cashier who took my order was obviously a newbie and looked tired so I was trying to not make it too hard on her.
I had a very long wait and didn’t know what the hold up was. Then out of the blue I heard someone say «One of those sandwiches has cheese and the other without.» Oh no, I knew that was my order that they were getting wrong! I flew up to the counter and told them no cheese.
So the sandwich maker had to redo them so more of a wait. She had to tell the newbie to punch the no cheese button not just once but twice if the sandwiches both have no cheese. So if you order more than one sandwich that you don’t want cheese on make sure they punch that button for the exact amount of sandwiches you are getting. If you get 9 sandwiches they have to punch it 9 times and so forth.
Longer wait but I understand the newbie was frustrated. I’ve worked in fast food myself before when I was younger and it can be hectic, fast paced and drain you of all energy by the end of the day. The poor newbie was getting orders wrong left and right. They kept having to redo all the drive through orders as well.
Oh by the way, the sandwiches were great, a definite must to get! We ordered heavy pickle though and they didn’t give us that. There was barely any at all. After redoing the order she must have not looked at the ticket for the heavy pickle.
Very torn as to which star rating to give this experience. I wish they had half stars I would give a little more. Not sure about a whole 4 stars.

Quick and cheap hot dogs, corn dog and burgers. What more can I say? I like it.
