The Wiener’s Circle, a quirky and popular lunch spot in Herndon, has closed.

Wednesday was the last day for the eatery at 348 Victory Dr. It was also the last day for Jenni’s Authentic Tacos and Papusas, a nearby restaurant operated by the same owners, Greg and Diane Hill.

The owners left a message on the restaurant’s voice mail that they are sorry to say The Wiener’s Circle and Jenni’s are closed for good. They did not say why. The Hills also own Great Falls Gourmet, a catering company.

The Wiener’s Circle billed itself as a “hot dog joint” on its Facebook page. It was only open a couple of hours a day, but had a loyal following among office workers nearby.

“So sorry to see this,” one patron wrote on The Winer’s Circle’s Facebook page. “Greg and Diane have always been great hosts. Really enjoyed the sausage making classes, always a blast and a great time for all. You guys will be greatly missed.”
