Vienna Inn Kicks Off 60th Anniversary Celebration

VIENNA, VA — Since Vienna Inn opened in 1960, it became known for its chili dogs and vintage feel, as well as becoming a gathering spot for local sports teams. The restaurant is celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2020 with festivities beginning in February.

"Most of the menu items and procedures have stayed the same over the years and we want to keep it that way," said owner Marty Volk. "A lot of our customers are like me and have been coming here since they were kids just like their parents."

The restaurant has a few unspoken traditions: customers pay at the register on an honor system, non-alcoholic drinks are self-serve and hot dogs are served from the dog bar on a plastic tray. Their most popular item is the chili dog with over 10,000 sold each month, but the menu also includes breakfast, sandwiches, burgers, salads and more.

While dining in Vienna Inn's vintage booths, guests will see local sports memorabilia along the wall. Those images illustrate the restaurant's sponsorship of local teams and support for other local causes over the years.

Vienna Inn will recognize its 60 years in business with special events, new menu items and specials. The celebration starts with kid's night on Feb. 10, rib nights on Tuesdays and an event to be announced for National Chili Day on Feb. 27.
