    This is such a cool little place. The food was good and it's small so it's not a place to bring a lot of friends. It is cool though for a quick family dinner. Good chili dogs!

    The eight signature dogs are the star here: I pick the Sonoran and Joliet Jake. The craft beer cans with local beer on draft is a great supporting cast. Keep an eye on the daily specials. JJ's rocks!

    The hotdogs are amazing, I had the No. 1 and the Chilly slaw and both were very delicious. I got the onion rings and I loved how then they were.

    Chicago dog and Char-heel dog tasty. Crinkle fries crispy. Laid back atmosphere. Something for everyone. Good prices.

    Great dogs. Any type of dog you’d like! Try the “wiener the poo”! Or the homemade sausage dog! Fast service and the homemade chips are the best!

    Everything is good here, and quite the canned beer selection, $4 most cans and a few $2 specials. Too bad there is no bar like the former location.

    Great selection on the menu with a nice atmosphere. If its nice weather sit at the rooftop seating. You can get 2 dogs and a combo for $9!

    Dogs of any kind, any way... Try the “Weiner the Poo” to start. Or if you prefer, have their homemade sausage dog.

    Impressed with reservations. Got the Chicken and Herb dog, no distinct flavor but toppings great. Will try a second time. (prices are ok considering its homemade dogs)
