Love it!! The Italian beef and the ribs are the best! Good fries, too!
Old school charm, friendly staff, and a killer Italian beef. Plus fresh hand cut fries that are fried to order. None of that frozen pre cut nonsense.
Small town style food

The Flying Wienie is a small, family-friendly restaurant offering Chicago-style hot dogs, ribs, and more. Located in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, it is known for using fresh and fine ingredients. The Chicago dogs are a highlight, as many customers express their satisfaction with them. Guests can customize their sandwiches, and the restaurant features plenty of Cedar Rapids literature on the walls, creating an interesting atmosphere while they wait. The gyro and chili dog are also popular, with the chili noted for being homemade rather than canned. However, some complaints have surfaced regarding the French fries being too dark, cool, and lacking seasoning. Despite reports that the portions are small for the price and extra charges for some condiments, the fries are made from freshly cut potatoes, not processed ones. The restaurant's cleanliness has been questioned, with some customers experiencing dirty tables. Parking can be limited, but it is usually sufficient during off-peak hours. The restaurant features a video game table and arcade games like Dig Dug, making it a kid-friendly spot that families enjoy. Customers love to eat here when they come to Cedar Rapids.
