Jimmy your the best has been for over 50 yrs for me. Came here for lunch from school most days. Live in Kenosha now, still bring my kids and grandchildren back. This is what memories are made of...

Serious Eats

One of Chicago's best hot dog stands serves depression dogs and great hand-cut fries .

Amy

As a kid I was upset eating plain hot dogs because then there was no ketchup then and tradition still continues NO KETCHUP . Don't even ask for it! But if you want the best hot dogs this is the place!

Eater

Jimmy's, with more than a half a century of slinging sausages , needs to be on this list to ensure completeness. Read more

Depression dogs done right. The fries are good too and they come with the dog. Obviously no ketchup . Duh.

Rachel Ortiz

Never ever ask for ketchup !!!!! Always good food and nice people

Lukas Ernst

Lines move quickly and the hot dogs are exactly what you would expect. Not a big fan of the steamed Polish, but still delicious. Worth checking out if you have some free time.

Neyza Melecio

We always take family and friends here when they come to visit from out of town . They love it, but they always ask why no ketchup for the fries .

Aaron Poole

Thier polish is good, thier dogs are ok, but the fries are nasty! I dunno how anyone could like them. They are always mushy, mashed into some glob when you get home and only taste of grease..

Kim Ziemann

The epitome of a Chicago Hot Dog ― everyone should check out this place.

A Hot Dog now costs $2.75 [$3.00 including tax]. I ate all the fries again too.

Michael Walsh Appraiser

I have been going there since I was a kid, note no ketchup ever

Jae Portocarrero

$3 gets you a dog + what seems like never ending fries ! Ketchup is BANNED, so don't ask for it unless you wanna get laughed at

J. Marie

Cash only . No credit/debit cards

Bob DeGraff

Does this gimmick of refusing to provide ketchup to customers who want it for their fries or hotdog sell more dogs than creating a satisfied customer?

Mike O'Connor

Best hot dogs and fresh cut fries in Chicago.
