Wieners of Waterton

Wieners of Waterton is not only famous for its locally made smokies and Nathan's hotdogs but also for the reasonable prices for the food, excellent service and a great location in the mountains. Opened in 2010, Wieners of Waterton (WOW) is quite new to the national park and in these past 2 years, they have succeeded to increase the choices of food for their customers, maintaining the reasonable prices and respect for their work.

The newest in their menu is: fried pickles, pouting, and kettle chips. The menu constitutes of their old favorites and some new additions like: local All-Beef Smokier, Nathan's Famous Quarter-Pounder out of New York, Anti-Dog for anyone looking for a meatless meal, made with falafel and topped with hummus, tzatiki sauce, and fresh veggies and of course sweet potato fries with our homemade dipping sauces.

The ideology behind opening such a restaurant was that the tourists can have something to eat at a very reasonable prices. Sometimes, it is fun to get rid of those sophisticated high priced restaurants and to just grab a hot-dog from WOW and keep on walking or cycling around the park. After all, a holiday is all about having fun!

WOW has a family-friendly environment, stunning view of the surrounding mountains, free wi-fi and  tasty low priced food made with dips made from homemade recipes. So, whenever you visit Waterton, do not forget to try all these and  have a lovely experience!
