Weiner Wagon

I stopped by to pick up a Dog after hearing about the rerun of the Wagon ( yeah, it’s been a while, my first chance to stop) I like it basic dog and a bun, maybe some onion. This is a good place for that, but they have other things to try, taco bowls, chili bowls, With Fritos, all a yum in my book.

Our first visit was today. The day after Christmas. Lovely lady working. Reasonable price. Chili Dog. Basic dog. Skips favorite. EXCELLENT! Chili was tasty. The mild polish dog was super. We have lived in Vancouver 6 years and never knew about this place. This will now become a staple!

Weiner Wagon has been a staple in Vancouver for years. They have three different variety of dogs. The garden variety hot dog, mild polish and a hot link. There's lots of toppings to choose from. When trying a hot dog joint for the first time, I always order the most spicy dog with chili, cheese, mustard and onion. Being a spicy guy I ordered the hot link. I hope and cross my fingers that wieners advertised as hot or spicy actually will be. Usually they're not. That was true for Weiner Wagon's hot link. The spice was so mild I wasn't sure if it was the mustard. The chili is Hormel with beans. I prefer chili with no beans on hot dogs. A hot dog with chili, cheese and onion is a hard enough balancing act as is. Chili with beans adds goopy man-over-board moments. The gal cut my hot link dog in

I was recommended by a friend to give this cart a try. I love a good hotdog... can't really find them here. It took a bit to locate her because Main street is all puckered up, but it was well worth the find. Kind, forgiving, and generous. I can't wait until Main is back in order.

I haven't been to the Weiner wagon in a couple of decades -- in fact I've lived halfway across the country for the past 2 decades. But this is one special place. Great food & great memories. We had Frito bowls for dinner tonight (regular rotation item) and I told my spouse the story of how Frito bowls came to be ... as a kid my dad used to take me to Skip and that green and white cart regularly -- it was one of our favorite meals. He worked at 1220 Main St and Skip was always downstairs. Many things have changed since then, yet there's something incredibly nostalgic about finding the Weiner wagon is still there. ❤️
