The people here are friendly and nice. First time here and I was very happy with their service and delicious breakfast sandwich! I ordered a normal sausage egg and cheese sandwich and it looked like something I could’ve cooked from home but the flavors and the toasted bread just made that much more unique and delicious!!!! Highly recommend!! It’s not a sit down restaurant but order at the window and go type of pace. Enjoy!!

I had a half smoke from Weenie Beenie and I was mostly happy with it. It was cooked perfectly, and the skin cracked when I bit into it...a tell tale sign of quality. Personally I wouldve liked a spicier flavor but it was tasty regardless, and a great deal as well. If youre looking for a quick bite this is a good place for you.

This place was okay. We drive by it all the time and finally decided to stop. We had the meatball sub and chili cheese hot dog. They were friendly. I would go back again.

Mediocre at best, I’ll have to give them a 3 star rating, it’s not terrible by any means but it’s just basic…simple. This place has been here since 1954, “serving great food since 1954” is on the sign and that’s what I was expecting. I thought this was going to be a deliciously greasy and tasty joint but again simple. This is a bacon egg and cheese Sammy… you can’t tell because it’s not sliding out the sides how I expected to be. I got a cheeseburger too, basic. I’ll try again and hope for a better experience.

I wasn’t too sure what to expect but saw they had a sizable line for breakfast so gave it a try for lunch. Holy cow, I got the number 2 combo, royal cheeseburger and fries and I was blown away. Burger was fantastic, probably one of the best burgers I’ve had. Fries were okay, most definitely overshadowed by the burger. Service was pretty quick. Nice and close to where my current project is. It’ll become my Friday lunch spot for sure.

Been going to this place forever. Only place, that I know of other than Bens, that has real deal half smokes. Great breakfast sandwiches. Decent burgers. Potato wedges for this who miss KFCs version. All around good greasy spoon.

Ive been living in the area for a little over a year and just tried this place last week. Not sure what took me so long. The hot dog was delicious and so was the chilli. I cant wait to go back and try the half smoke and onion rings. Great prices too. If you need a quick lunch spot with great food, stop by.

Are you looking for that 1950s roadside stand experience? Well guess what? Youve found it in Arlington. Weenie Beenie is nothing fancy, but it is special The menu is simple and the food great. I have long wanted to stop in and try this place, and after three years, finally made it.I had the Double Cheeseburger Royal and fries (Combo #2). The burger may be nothing to look at and will win no prizes when it comes to presentation, but the was full of flavor and satisfied my hunger. The lettuce and tomato were crisp, meat well seasoned, and the cheese perfectly melted. Speaking of perfect -- thats the word I would use for the wedge cut fries. Their seasoning was impecable and the cook, perfect. The fries were crisp beyond belief and had a satisfying crunch when I bit into them.Overall a 4/5 -- Definitely worth a meal and a return visit at another time, but you arent going to make it a regular dining establishment.

High school teacher woman opens six day works Sat, all of crew dedicated, efficient and, on point, fast service. I stop by almost every week. Onion Rings crispy, whole onion, not chopped mush. Half smoke split down middle, grilled all the way - chili mustard relish onions have to try. Always hits the spot, cheap eats good food.

Review №32

As someone who was raised in the south, this place reminds me of the food you would get in a gas station restaurant. Though that may sound like a slight, any southerner will tell you that it is high praise. Simple food with amazing flavors, and most importantly the sweet tea was fresh. There is a 100% chance I will be back. I suggest you do the same.

Review №34

I recommend the Whiting sub sandwich or the North Carolina style BBQ by the pound with his delicious coleslaw. The owner is from North Carolina and his coleslaw is just about as good as KFCs, a close second. Go give it a try. You will thank me.😀 He has delicious breakfast too. Your kids and teenagers will love his menu.

Service was great. First time customer. I am a DC woman for past 60 plus years- l love half smokes and hard to find them outside DC. Wanted to try them here. Service was tops and fast. My only complaint is that the casing on them OR whatever made parts of it unchewable. I kept biting and kept getting hard to chewpieces and had to remove themfrom my mouth. Although good tasting for what I could ear, having to stop and remove unchewable pieces interfered with the enjoyment. I haven’t tried anything else and know then reputation is strong. I was just disappointed.I said OR something else. There was some binding. If it wasnt the casing, it still had unchewable pieces. This is my opinion and experience.

Weenie Beenie is a magical place. -Their half smokes ... the way the grease sticks to the parchment paper like a diesel fuel stain on a truck stop lot... and the mustard, suffocating under weight of that slightly viscous chili sauce...reminds me of a Sante Fe sunset on a late September evening.Oh, and their Carolina BBQ sandwich... much like that hug you longed for as a child but never received -only topped with slaw and hot sauce.

WORTH the Wait!!! I was getting my oil changed down the road. Really nice people...and started waiting. I just ordered the hash browns since I dont normally eat breakfast. After 6 minutes, I started getting nervous about time. But then he called to me with a little brown bag with potatoes, fork, napkins, + ketchup packets. Found a bench across the street and at first bite, I stopped caring if the car was going to be done soon. Every chunk of potato had crunchy bits. They are made with bits of onion which added flavor and spiced with a little salt, cayenne and paprika(?). Soooo Gooood! I was full half-way through, but I wasnt going to stop. Im okay with my car having issues if I can come back here!

There was more chili on the wrapper than on my dog. Bland onion rings that were poorly cooked, and when I asked for no ice my drink barely had any Sprite in it because it was ALL ice (they were out of half the drinks and didnt seem to care). $10 for this level of mediocre? Thanks for ruining a classic chain. Pass on this one! There are better places around.

Went there yesterday for the first time and had the chili half smoke all the way, with mustard, onions, relish and chili. Split down the middle and cooked perfectly. Didnt think anything could be better. I was wrong. Went there today and had the jumbo Carolina pork BBQ sandwich. Vinegary as can be, with cole slaw and a touch of hot sauce. Spectacular. And the potato wedges were done perfectly as well. I love this place!!!!

Amazing food, always fresh and unbeatable prices. Pro tip: I call in my order a few minutes ahead of getting there. Breakfast is always great - I just finished eating. Cheese steak and grilled chicken sandwich are my lunch go-to orders. Definitely a hidden gem in South Arlington. Thank you!

Went to this place at 6am, I ordered a grilled cheese with bacon and egg. And a half smoke only ketchup and cheese. The grilled cheese was not grilled nor did it have cheese on it and my half smoke had only onions. I believe the lady th hat served me was the owner. And she sacrificed quality for speed. Terrible experience. Absolutely disappointing! I hope they see this and step it up.

My sons love the Philly Steak n cheese:)I found my new favorite cheese and steak spot.. Toasted sub, lettuce tomato ketchup is how my boys like them. They love the wedge fries and code. This spot is friendly, fast and they care. Its tastier, and no place better! I cant wait to go back! I like the ten commandments, I teach my sons to be good citizens.

Ive lived in the Northern VA area since 1986 when I was first stationed in Arlington while in the Marine Corps. Shortly after my arrival to the area a few of Marine fellows took me to Weenie Beenie and ever since Ive been hooked!! I now live in Centreville and dont get to Arlington very much but yesterday I was in the Shirlington area and stopped by. I got 2 half smokes and all I can say is no other place beats the half smokes at Weenie Beenies. Over the years Ive tried just about everything on their menu and have never eaten anything I didnt like. If you havent been to this historical landmark you should give it a try!!!!!

Half smokes are great! Chili con carne hit the spot. I arrived. Got chili, bread, halfsmoke chili onions,,mustard,hot sauce. Ate those, went back for another half smoke and piece of pound cake. It is hearty, good to be full meal. Probly only have couple of bananas, salad for supper as Im not feeling hungry. Place reminds me of my grandmothers cooking. Out of this world good food!

Its rare you can find a place that sells a decent half smoke anymore, rarer still that you can find one selling it with no muss, fuss, or frills. This is simple counter service for good hearty food. Nothing fancy but it doesnt need or want to be. Just good food.

I have been a customer at Weenie Beenie since childhood . Although I now live in Md I still travel to my hometown to get a halfsmoke or fish sandwich. It is the best and no comparison to any fast food around. I remember the manager from the 80s and when he brought in the manager of today. He never forgets a face and the friendly associates. They use to have a location in Md. Thank you for being there for us both far and near.

This is an old-school, inexpensive takeout joint thats been around for years. The Foo Fighters even wrote a song about this place. Customers range from construction workers, soccer moms/dads, cops, office workers, and old-timers that have been coming here since they were kids.Get the chili dog with chili, onions, and mustard and you wont be disappointed. The cheesesteak and burgers are also good.Tip: There are two picnic tables on the side of the building if you dont want to eat in your car.

Had passed by several dozen times when in the area for work. (Reside in PA).Today I decided to stop in, and I was not disappointed in my decisionA quick google search told me what a Half Smoke is, and as they say. When in Rome.Sausage had a nice snap. The chili sauce was killer. And just the right amount of onions and mustardThere is only one shop locally at home I can get a bite like this.If you’re on the fence about stopping, take the plunge. You won’t regret it.

Weenie Beenie once had numerous locations throughout the area (it started in 1950!!) - and this is sadly the last remaining stand. The half smoke is absolutely the best in the area - Bens could really learn a thing or two!! WB grills the half smokes, so they are juicy with a nice char. The prices are great, the service prompt, theres plenty of parking and a few picnic tables if you dont want to eat in your car. Truly a unique area institution!

This place is a great local lunch spot and had been doing the same thing for decades. The menu is good but the CHILLI HALF SMOKE IS KING! If youre in the area and hungry, stop by this spot. Its always a good sign when you see businessmen joining construction guys in line for the same lunch spot.👍👍🌭🍔
