F.L.X. Wienery

Very cute place! They have the most unique hotdogs and burgers. We loved the variety. Everything was delicious and the house made crispy potatoes were tasty, but definitely different since I was anticipating the fries depicted on the website. I had the K-Town and loved the flavors, especially the kimchi. My husband had the All-American and really enjoyed it!

A huge fan of this place and I am glad my wife recommended it to me. Food: I ended up going with an all-american beef burger which was OUTSTANDING. I was also super interested in their salted potatoes which I never had before. The potatoes were good, but the butter by the end made it a bit heavy, albeit delicious. Service: the young lady helping us was so nice and gave us some recommendations which ended up with the potatoes. Aesthetic: really cool design with the tables and almost feels like a camp cantina. I really liked that they served the potatoes in a plant pot, it made it feel very farm-like.

I had high hopes for this place since their high end locations were impressive. I’m sad to say that my experience ended up being so-so. The outside seating and location is good but the door was all server slightly warm. The burger was not freshly made and as such overdone. I will say the lettuce was fresh and snappy. Dog friendly outside seating and friendly staff made this a 3 star review instead of a 2. The wine and beer selection was great.

Laid back place to enjoy a meal in the Finger Lakes...which was great cause most wineries did not have great food choices. Most in the group had hamburgers and they were delicious. Staff was super friendly and food came out hot and quick. Not the biggest fan of their fries, but the spicy onion rings were excellent. Definitely a must stop to soak up the wine you are drinking. And if you like borboun, they have almost every Buffalo Trace company bottle at phenomenal prices...try some Pappy. Only warning is be careful in the Luxury bathroom...the bidet can scare the unwary.

Great time great vibes. Loved the food but I was pretty wasted so may not be the best judge of the taste. Staff was nice , helpful, and laughed at my jokes

Great sausages here Even better crispy fried potatoes The beer list is great Amazingly you can also get some Pappy van Winkle too! Worth the drive up from Watkins Glen for sure

I can't say enough good things about this place! The food is so diverse and amazing. Combinations of toppings that I never would have thought of. The staff is so friendly and even offered our dog a bowl of water. Highly recommend!

If you weren't a fan of having weiners in your face already, this place might change your mind. If you still can't get over that, they have other tasty things to stuff your foodhole with, like burgers and such. Quality food, creative and classic toppings alike, and lots of staple sides. Also booze. They have booze. Enjoy!

I was so surprised that I loved this place, because i hate hot dogs! But this place is so much more than hot dogs! Their menu has hot dogs, burgers (chicken, beef, or black bean) and all kinds of topping you can add. I was pleasantly surprised at home much I love the burger I ordered! and the cheese curds were so yummy!

Nice spot in pretty much the middle of nowhere in upstate NY. I apologize that I can't recall the names of the dogs we ordered, but mine had peanut butter and was excellent. My wife's was great too. Sadly they did not have shakes when we went. I absolutely loved the poutine tots, and this was probably my favorite thing we ordered! I had a good chuckle at the negative reviews posted in the bathroom too. I won't be joining those. It's counter service with lots of seating inside, and the restaurant was clean and vibrant. Staff was friendly too, and I enjoyed the tableside marshmallow toasting. The marshmallow did seem to have an odd floral taste to it, but I didn't mind it at all. They also have alcohol available.

Clever name for a specialty diner in the Finger Lakes wine country New York. Wienery is a fun and delicious eatery that specializes in all types of weiners and burgers. The ingredient combinations are creative and surprisingly delicious. Vegans can even enjoy a carrot weiner! Marinated in soy sauce and roasted! There is an extensive liquor and wine selection. The owner is an honest to goodness sommelier. Picnic style seating is available inside and outside. The staff is wonderful and helpful. Definitely worth trying for a unique and delicious dining experience.

Very cute place with a nice concept. The choices for protein were Zweigle's red or white hot dogs, bratwurst, beef or chicken or black beans burgers. Then you pick the toppings. Some are unusual, some are traditional and you can have any combination you choose. The bratwurst I had was nicely seasoned, but it was a bit dry inside , I think it could have used some more fat in the mixture. I had it with the spicy brown mustard, sauerkraut and fried onions. The mustard was nice and spicy, but I found the sauerkraut a little bland. It didn't have that nicely fermented taste. The onions weren't a good choice for me. There were milkshakes, canned beer, wine and a really nice selection of bourbon and whiskey. We had something called kennebec potatoes with lemon, herbs, butter, garlic and parsley. It was smashed potatoes that tasted deep fried. It was a nice portion but none of the toppings listed were on our potatoes and underneath the top layer, it was mostly crispy bits of skin and just crispy shreds. It was a bit of a disappointment. I would go back and try something else, the service was good and everyone was very nice.

Oh my goodness the food here is so interesting and so good. The different flavors on top of each hot dog the number of types of hot dogs that you can order and the beers and wines you can pair with them. Many of the unusual whiskeys available at really great prices are also worth taking a look at. Also the potatoes. Order the potatoes.

Stopped in for a hotdog and beer! Fantastic food and ambiance. My husband especially enjoyed his vanilla malt milkshake! Will be back for sure!

My wife's been talking about this place for years, and wow, now I see why. Zweigle's dogs (red and white) with great toppings, tasty sides, and a truly phenomenal beer and spirits selection. Nice view, too.

Amazing. Just amazing. Break from the wineries and stop in. All friendly peeps and awesome dogs spectacular bourbon

Food was good. Hotdogs definitely the better of the two compared to burgers. Peep the bourbon selection.

Amazing hot dogs and unique sides. You gotta try it So much to choose from. Beer, wine and bourbon too!

Chili poutine crispy potatoes were delicious! We also enjoyed the chili style dog. The K-town style was recommended with the bratwurst, which was interesting, but not my fav. I would definitely try again with a traditional red wiener.

Interestingly enough, I don't think this is my first review of this place, I'm fairly certain I wrote one six or seven years ago, but it seems to be gone. Regardless, the food hasn't improved much in that period of time, sadly. Don't get me wrong, the people who work here are wonderful; Extremely friendly with great service. And they have an unexpectedly good selection of bourbon (did not expect to find pappy in a place like this) and beer from all over. Food though is meh at best. I lived in Rochester and I'm very familiar with zweigles hots, but these just didn't have the same snap I'm used to when biting in. The whole hog is just too much, and much of what is on the dog just falls off. The bun definitely gets soggy, too... Could definitely use a toasting, maybe with some butter. The fries royale were pretty good, though I would reco they mix it all together in a bowl before putting in the platter, then top off with more. The toppings are all on top, so eventually you end up with just fries. Burgers were okay, but nothing crazy. And you almost expect a place like this to have a garbage plate, but the whole hog is as close as they get. Then there was the bathroom, which was incredibly dirty and falling apart. Avoid. Bring hand sanitizer. Couldn't even properly wash my hands because the sink had such poor water pressure and the soap was nearly gone (which begs the question: how well could the staff wash their hands??). I legitimately feel bad writing a bad review given how nice the people there are, but unless you're planning to drop $55/oz for some Pappy, or you're desperate for food, find somewhere else. I did give this place an extra star for outdoor seating with dogs allowed (though only two umbrellas and one was broken), friendly staff, plus the top shelf spirits. Food was a hard two. If you're heading south, just continue to Watkins Glen.

How was this deliciousness all gluten free?! Highly recommend the all American carrot dog! Options for normies, gluten free and dairy free and vegan! Food was lip smacking perfection on all fronts. Our whole family was so happy with this find.

Loved the food, the drink selection & the funky, laid back vibe. Will definitely recommend to others visiting the Finger Lakes!

To be fair, I only got one thing from here -- maybe other items would be better! The Kraut -- it was meh. Just a hot dog with lots of mustard seeds. I actually took out the mustard seeds because it was too much. Also had to wait an hour for one hot dog...

Another fantastic visit to the Wienery! Tried the burger this time and it did not disappoint. One change this time was instead of normal fries, the potatoes were randomly cut ranging from crispy bits of skin up to small wedges, crispy on the outside and perfectly done inside. As always, the portion of potatoes is easily enough for 2. I look forward to my next visit.

Not open at 12.05pm. We arrived at 11.45am and one of the employee arrived 10 seconds before we did. Told us they won't be open till 20 minutes later. I think the times on the board and website needs to be updated.

Always liked this place. Good chill vibe. Great beer and wine selection. Was bummed to come today and see all the veggie dog options have been removed. The only vegetarian option now is a black bean burger. Update: the K-town black bean burger was SO good. And the kimchi potatoes too. Adding a star.

The food was excellent and the atmosphere fun. Excellent selection of bourbons to taste. Great service. Highly recommend as a top spot for your visit to the area.

I've visited FLX Wienery twice now. It's a perfect place to stop for lunch when wine tasting on the west side of Seneca lake. If you haven't had enough wine at the wineries, they also serve glasses here which is great. Food was good and came out quickly.

Small unassuming roadside restaurant giving local vibes. Service was beyond friendly and quick food was delicious we will be back

great food, great service, large portions! unique options. all different alcohol, various unique options.

Food was a total hit, the Hotdogs were by far the best things you could get here. Also the kennebeck potatoes are probably the best side I have ever consumed. A coworker recommended this place, and it certainly lived up to the hype. Would go again.

Very unwelcoming. We had a group of four behind a group of 15. We asked a question about the menu and that was a mistake. We had the regular hotdog, a chili dog and a hamburger. The burger was dry and just came with cheese. We feared asking for other toppings after being yelled at for asking for ketchup and mustard (which is on the side). The food was good. The fries were fabulous (note of caution.... one flower pot definitely feeds 4). If you aren't drinking alcohol, get a milkshake.

Wanted to love the place, but found a hair in my food. Which totally turned me off. Up until then I would have given 4 stars for the food and would have recommended. They are very polite and helpful, but I can't get over the hair in my food. Sorry guys.

This was the best glizzy I have ever had! Highly recommend this for lunch! Staff was great

Great concept, but aren't they serving HOT dogs? The dogs were cold. Fries were delicious though

Love, love, LOVE this place! It was conveniently located right by our Vrbo and a total accident finding this place. At first, I thought we were pulling into a winery - which I'm sure is no accident. I would describe FLX as a true 'Diner, Drive-in, and Dive'. A small unsuspecting "shack" in the middle of wine country. And what a great place to stop, recharge, and grab some carbs before you finish your wine tour. We visited twice in two days. The first time we ordered the K-Town hotdog. Not sure what to expect, so we decided to split the dog. I honestly can't remember the hotdog itself, but the layers are what makes everything so satisfying. Soft bun, egg, miso mayo, kimchi and cilantro -- just wow. I eat A LOT of kimchi and was surprised at how good this was. The cilantro added freshness and by the end, I knew we had to come back. And so we did! The next day we ordered the K-Town Fries, the Whole Hog and the K-Town dog again. Just perfect. The fries were fresh, not frozen like you find at many roadside stops, and the fried onion on the Whole Hog also made in-house. Each flavor component is very well thought out. And don't forget to checkout the beer selection. Both times we took our food to go and they let us take more than 32 oz. of draft beer with us. The selection in the fridge is also noteworthy. We took some of that with us too ;)

With half an hour to go before the lights went off, they kept rolling in. White hairs in polo shirts with a few too many wine samples in them and new parents in their BMWs with their kids tucked in their car seats (with too many wine samples in them.) Yes, the staff had been going at it non-stop since the early afternoon and despite closing time rapidly approaching, no one was turned away and every guest was met with the same smile, enthusiasm and great food. I can only imagine the mental and physical toll it takes on the staff to deal with silly drunks day in and day out. Like that Cindy K. that posted about this place a few months back. "Double hot dog dare you to put my review up there?" She's Vegas and she's complaining about prices? I can only imagine how much red wine this Stifler's Mom understudy had before she got there. Complaining about the size of the Hot Dog and having to order via a touch pad. Then "gave herself great service." It's the only servicing she's getting. The experience I had at the Weinery was top notch. The Kraut - A housemade brat with its brown mustard, herbs and fried crispy onions paired great with a Bitburger Pilsner. It was the perfect break from wine and cheese. I could have probably had two of both. (Maybe three if the Hot Dogs were served on Martin's Potato Rolls.) The Weinery's take on poutine came with a peppery white gravy, herbs and tiny cheese curds. Very tasty, but if you're looking for brown gravy, this may not be for you. The pickles and kraut seem to be housemade. Both were quite good. While I didn't have a burger, they looked great. In addition to beer, there's also a wide selection of wine and milkshakes to choose from. I would have grabbed dessert, but by the time I finished my beer, I decided to let the staff rest. Good eats. Will return.

I'm so glad we were able to try this place. I've had it earmarked for years in hopes of visiting. My husband got a burger to go, and I got the fries royale. It's a cute roadside stop, and very clean. My husband's burger was medium rare to order and very good. The fries royale are truffle fries with foie gras. Very rich, decadent flavor. It's $9 but definitely a meal in and of itself. I had to save half to eat with my dinner that night. Service was great.

I was really stuck between 3 or 4 stars. 3.5 would be perfect, but that's not an option. The group of people in front of us blocked our view of how to order...the counter person had her back turned but the kiosk where the EMPLOYEES put your order in was facing the customers and I took it upon myself to put my order in not realizing that it just hadn't been flipped back after the people in front of me were done signing. The counter girl turned around and said oh! We do that for you! How embarrassing! We had a good laugh, let me tell you I gave myself great service and was hired on the spot! (I kid...but seriously...) When your order is ready they bellow out your name and I go up and the one thing that I ordered that I didn't put in myself was missing! It was on the ticket but not on my tray so I was standing there while they got my marshmallows. That was a bit irritating! I got a plain Jane red hot, the meat to bun ratio is very skewed. Too much bread and a skinny hot dog and for the prices they should be grilling the English style buns with butter on the outside. I got cheese curds which most of the cheese came out of so it was just mostly greasy breading and some small hard bits and you can see the stringy cheese clinging to the outside of the curds...it should be INSIDE. The marshmallows really saved the day, those were fantastic. Homemade, gooey and just charred perfectly. I also got a Fulkerson winery white grape juice. That was delicious, so juicy grape tasting, best grape juice I've had. My four items came to $20. To me for a plain hotdog that got lost in the bun, cheese curds minus the cheese, two marshmallows that I had to remind the grill masters about and grape juice that is TOO PRICEY!!! There is a wall of shame in the bathroom for bad reviews. It seems a bit petty although a little funny. Just have something printed on the bottom of the receipt about please address comments or complaints to (insert email address) I double hot dog dare you to put my review up there. Also the other bathroom is taped shut with masking tape and a sign that says the toilet is broken and directs you to the port a potty outside! Like what??? Super classy. Obviously if they have a porta potty outside it's been broken awhile. I doubt they just happen to have a porta potty handy. Just fix it!! With the prices being charged this should not be an issue.

So good I forgot to take pictures! We stopped here on our way back from a hike and enjoyed it very much. I had the burger with goat cheese which was excellent and my husband and sister had the chili dog--one on red, one white. Both very much enjoyed as well. The poutine was also delicious and different--not traditional fries but some crispy roasted potatoes, and a very good gravy. The dining area accommodated our group of 8 easily. The staff was so kind and thoughtful in guiding us through the menu options for both the food and drinks.

First time in Finger Lakes and first food stop ... Great name ordered Whole Hog dog With Italian Sausage, egg bacon corn cheese curd chipotle mayo..... Heaven on a bun.... Fries are large and excellent too

For just good comfort food go here. I had a terrific burger oozing with juice and the yolk of a fried egg. Delicious

This was the perfect lunch spot after a morning of kayaking and several wine tastings! I ordered the local burger (no Mayo, lettuce bun) with fries and my husband ordered the Kraut sausage with fries. Everything was delicious and portion sizes were great - we're both big eaters but agreed we probably could've split fries. I was so excited to see a goat cheese burger on the menu! There are indoor and outdoor (picnic tables) seating options.

I was actually a little disappointed here. I had seen picks of the food it looked amazing. My cousin had warned me it was a little expensive... I don't mind that if it's fabulous. I ordered the kraut style white hot... I had learned "white hot" was a local type of dog and when traveling I love to try local things. The sausage itself was good but there was just too much "stuff" on it... If you go I would recommend you just get it plain. The bun is amazing. We got the K fries and the poutine?... again...both ok... just too much... a bit of over load. I had a glass of Saur peach? beer...it was nasty .. just sour. Husband had some cidar beer... his was better.

This has always been one of my top recommendations for people when they visit the Finger Lakes. Their unique takes on the classic hotdog are so much fun for everyone and they're incredibly delicious. Their burgers and fries are also quite amazing as well. Even if your looking for something lighter or are a vegetarian, they can replace the hotdog with a roasted carrot and I have to say, this is my new favorite way to eat carrots. My go-to order is usually The Kraut with either a carrot or bratwurst, and my wife and I split either the Poutine or the Fries Royal. Both the brat and the carrot are soft and mild tasting, but each has their own unique, but light, flavor. The carrot, obviously has a carrot flavor but it's well seasoned and charred, so it's not so apparent as to overtake the flavor of the toppings. The brat is traditionally a mildly seasoned sausage, so you get more flavor of the meats in the sausage than spices, again, great for showcasing the toppings of your hotdog. The Kraut, has a delicious sauerkraut with the ideal level of vinegar and pickling spices in every bite. The tangy brown mustard adds the classic mustard seed flavor, crossed with the crunchy sweetness of the fried onions, which are overflowing on this dog. The topping flavors completely contrast the the mildness of the brat/carrot with in your face tastes that create a euphoric complexity in a hotdog. The Poutine is fairly standard in concept, but the fries are thin, stacked high, and so fresh. The Fries Royal are an absolute must try. I'm instantly in love with anything that has truffle and oh boy, do these fries have it. The truffle mayonnaise not only adds incredible truffle flavor, but also a delightful creaminess that compliments the creaminess of the foie gras, enhancing it's delectably rich umami flavor. The pecorino cheese beautifully contrasts the other earthy toppings with a sharp tangy, almost spicy flavor. The whole dish bursts with a variety of tastes that work so wonderfully together. If you're in the area, this is a perfect spot to check out. On top of the food, they also have a good selection of beer, cider, wine, and even spiked milkshakes. It's great for people of any age and is just a fun meal all around. I can't wait to go back!

What a different tasting! It's a place from Christopher Bates one of the few Master Sommelier of the world. You will get some good hot dogs and burgers here - and you can order a wine tasting at the same time. Never had it this style, easy going with some comfort food and the wines are just great. Good spot to rest, get some food and some good wines to taste on the Finger Lakes wine trail. Don't judge from the outside ;-).

I was excited to come here. With such glowing reviews, I had high expectations. And after eating at FLX Table the night before, I thought these weiners would blow my mind. We ordered a white hot, a bratwurst, poutine fries, a beer and a seltzer. Total price with a $5 tip came out to $47. Pretty pricey for a relatively simple meal. But I thought, these weiners are going to be great! Unfortunately, it was just OK. Definitely not worth $10 a weiner. Both weiners were prepared with The Kraut (brown mustard, kraut, fried onions). Firstly, they forgot to put the mustard on both of our weiners, but we didn't realize until we were almost done. But I'm not sure the mustard would have made the meal all that better. The weiners were just okay. Nothing amazing about the flavoring. I've eaten better weiners in my home town. The poutine fries were better, nice gravy, but it just didn't have enough cheese curds. Overall, this is a nice road stop in an area where there aren't that many fast eating options, but be prepared for high prices, and just OK weiners.

Extremely pleasant staff. Beef and Chicken burgers flavorless outside of the toppings. White wiener the sauerkraut is pure vinegar. Milkshakes unusual but good.

Do not come to the Wienery expecting fine dining... You will be horribly disappointed. That being said, consider this an upgrade to the road side hot dog stand or the Italian sausage stand at the fair. The building is typical of the road side stand but adds a nice deck and decent, diner like interior. Be careful of the parking lot, it's a little rough. The menu is very basic offering hots, hamburgers, sausages and sides... Adding in some recommended options for each. White hots are on the menu making this joint a truly upstate NY dog house. Beer and shakes are also available. The young lady who took our order at the counter enthusiastically explained the menu and the options. We ordered Italian sausage with peppers and onions, bratwurst and poutine fries. The sausages were huge (and delicious) with abundant toppings. They definitely overwhelmed the rolls so plan on using a lot of napkins. The poutine was, well, not real poutine. The fries were fresh cut, crispy and delicious. The gravy was more of a cheese sauce with pepper and no noticable curds... I actually liked it better than real poutine but if you're a purist this may not be a good choice for you. All in all a fun place to stop for a quick bite and maybe a taste of Rochester late night munchy awesomeness. I plan to try a burger the next time I'm in the area.

I had really high hopes for this place. The reviews are stellar. My experience was a total crapshoot. We ordered a milkshake, two hot dogs and a burger. The milkshake came out almost immediately, while the food took almost 30 mins. The milkshake was lame. It was brown sugar bacon, sounds good right? Zero bacon flavor came through and it was watery. I ordered The Kraut Dog and asked for a hotdog, even clarifying the prices. They gave me a sausage instead, which was cold. The Double Trouble hotdog was overrated. Hotdogs cold. All buns were so soggy it was impossible to eat without falling apart. Nothing was spectacular about the product. It was moreso novelty than anything. The bacon was probably the worst part.. it was the thickest, fattiest bacon I have ever seen. The only thing that was relatively okay were the Fries Royale. I liked the truffle mayo. The restaurant itself was hot and dirty. Flies everywhere. No soap in the bathroom. If I am going to get COVID, it is here. They are not sanitizing the tables outside where you have to sit. We had to go out to our car and get clorox wipes and wipe everything down ourselves. I left feeling greasy, unsatisfied, and like I am going to contract COVID 19. Not to mention, wayyyy overpriced for the quality.

This place might be the best road trip pit stop ever. You can see it from a mile away because there's nothing else surrounding except beautiful trees and nature. There's a large menu sign on the wall for you to see as you stand in line to order. There's quite a few options to satisfy the whole group, but I do recommend trying the classic! The fries are fine, but the real star are the dogs. Such a crisp juicy bite because it's all freshly made, and the pairing with the kraut, mustard, and everything else you may choose to eat with it is crazy flavorful. There's plenty of indoor seating, diner style, and outdoors as well (picnic tables). The best part was getting to see the dogs getting smoked right outside!

It's not that I want on the bathroom wall,but maybe I do. All said below is truth. Fries were good Sausages (white) was bland, so too was sauerkraut. Burgers were undercooked. I didn't mind, but the pregnant mom and kids did. It was red indeed. The k-town burger had too much kimchi on it. Good attempt at a new tasty burger. Service: Slow. Super slow. Ambiance: outside was enjoyable. Huge variety of can and Bottle Beer and wines. Overall suggestion: if u have the time, don't go.

This place is no hot dog stand. It's all top quality burgers and weiners and dogs and the fries are made in house. Pretty sure they make everything in house. This is a must stop if you are in the area.

When I saw this online, I had to stop here when I was in the area. I'm glad I did, but I don't think I would be back. What they serve here is more of a novelty or gimmick. I couldn't really enjoy what I was eating because there was so much going on. When I brought the hot dog up to my mouth I realized there is zero chance of me getting it to fit without losing half of the toppings. I tried anyway and failed. I grabbed a fork and a knife and sawed off bits and pieces while trying to get some of the toppings as well. It's impossible. While doing so, I would have to hunt for the hot dog all the way underneath otherwise I'd be eating all toppings. And forget about getting a slice with bread. In my opinion, the hot dogs need to be sized more like sausages and the topping department needs to be re-thought. As for the side of poutine I got, it was just OK. It's not the typical gravy flavor and it partially solidified while on the fries. I would have also likes a layer of gravy in-between the massive helping of fries.

Another wonderful lunch! We stopped here on the way to Watkins Glen and LOVE it! Service is always friendly and the menu has something for everyone. They also note if it's gluten green or vegan which is impressive for a "hot dog" joint!

We stopped here while visiting a few of the wineries on Seneca Lake and we're so happy we did! The restaurant doesn't look like much from the road, but the food was delicious and they allow you to bring in and enjoy your own bottle of wine with no corking fee! We had two All American burgers with fries, it was delicious and just what we needed in between tastings. We definitely plan on stopping again when we're in the area!
