Went to Chicago for the first time in 2016. The store I was working at was right next door to Jimmy Red Hots. I'm from Anderson, SC where Skins is famous for their hot dogs. I can honestly say Jimmy's has the best I sausage dog I have ever had. They wrap it with their famous potatoes. I couldn't get enough. I think I went to lunch there 3 out of the 5 days I was in town. First day I was hooked. It's been 2 years and I still tell people about this place. If I ever get back to Chicago I will definitely be coming back here. Way better than The Varsity in Atlanta.
The best Vienna hot dogs and polishes I will be going back you got to eat here it's the best place in Chicago for hot dogs and polishes and fries and tamales.!!���

We were told while in Chicago we needed to try a hot dog. This is the place. I have a 3 year that eats ketchup on everything so I was worried when the forbidden word came up. She ate her whole dog no questions asked!!
Even when she spilled her lemonade putting the straw in they kindly gave us another one. Those fries!
These folks are working had to bring good food at a great price. Thank you from the Wyoming crew!
Best hot dogs, polish and fries in Illinois. Been eating Jimmy's since I was a little kid. There is no better place than this.
The best I’ve ever tasted. Hotdog and tamales and French fries. Awesome!!!
Best Chicago Dog & Polish in Chicago!!! I come all the way from Tucson, Arizona to get some!
I loved the dogs, didn't have to worry about parking back then everyone walked.
Visiting from Florida and had to make sure I stopped at Jimmy's for the best polish sausage in Chicago.
I grew up enjoying Jimmys Red Hots, many moons ago! It hasn't changed a bit, that’s why they still taste the same. Keep doing what your doing! don’t change a thing.. you’re doing great!
Old School, better than Jene And Jude's for sure! No ketchup! I wish for the delicious fries though!!
Not your typical salad on a dog. It’s a great dog though. Perfect snap. $4.50 but comes with loads of fries. I usually don’t eat fries but these were perfectly greasy and fried to a deep brown. They must use an animal fat. People were buying their tamales. I didn’t. Something tells me they’re good.
The most authentic red-hot Chicago style dog I had while in town. Great hotdogs and superb fries at rock bottom prices. Definitely plan to carry away as there's no place to eat except a long counter and they do keep it moving. Cash only, so plan accordingly.
It is one of our favorite places to eat when we are visiting Chicago. Heads up, they only take cash!
When in town, Jimmy’s is a must! So good! This place is cash only(ATM on site) and there’s a small standing area for eating but, that won’t deter me from enjoying the goods. The red hots were my favorite. Stop in and order a red hot or polish.
Great hot dogs and fries for the price! Can't beat it for sure. Only giving 4 stars though as when I've been there the past two times the hot peppers taste very bitter and not enjoyable as other peppers I had. Not sure if they just had a bad batch but overall pretty good!
Fast service, good food at reasonable price. Been stopping here at least past 30 years. Oh, and so many hot fries covering the sandwich. Definitely get your money's worth.
Love this place! I bought a drink with my polish for the first time and they have grape cool aid. When I tell you that grape cool aid was the perfect addition. Totally with the drive!
We went here when they were just opening. The food was fresh and very good. We really enjoyed it. The service was fast, and the staff was courteous.
THE BEST HOT DOG STAND IN THE CITY!!! Been coming here since I was 4 years old.....over 50 years. I understand Jimmy's daughters are running it now, BRAVO! Doing a great job. Live in Wisconsin now but still have to go into the city for our "Jimmy's fix" 🤣😂
Grabbed 30 yesterday to bring home... order was perfect, t-shirts are awesome and as ALWAYS great hot dogs!! Thank you.
I've been going here most of my life. The fries are AMAZING and the polish sets the standard for a true Chicago sausage in my book.
Some 30+ years, my dad thought it was funny to try to get me to ask for ketchup to see if they would yell at a little girl. I told him I could read the 🚫signs and I knew better 😄.
I've seen they even have a "no ketchup" onesie on their social media so you can raise up your child in the Chicago way, though I haven't seen it for sale at the counter.
Delicious back in the day polish and fries, definitely not the healthiest choice but when you need to grab something quick this is a good place.
I love their polishes. There are usually bums asking for money and the staff are not friendly. But the food is always hot and good.
Been going to this place for Years !! Still great food . Always get Polish and fries with everything.Love,Love ,Love the fries 🍟!!! Sport peppers are hot 🔥 like I like them.
P.S. don't ever ask for Ketchup
In a hurry? Trying to stretch a dollar while being fed? I grew up eating here in the 90's. Nothing has changed. Flavors are all the same, perfect. No Ketchup ever!! 10/10 highly recommend. Cash only.
Food is cheap. The staff is that weird helpful yet unnecessarily surly in that Ed Debevics/ Weiners Circle kind of way. But at least they aren't abusive, just grumpy. Food is tasty and extremely cheap and worth every greasy dime. Great hours too!
As a life long fan of Gene & Jude’s, I had Jimmy’s for the first time and was blown away by how good it is. Both have equally become my all time favorite hot dog joints.
