Jolly's Drive-In

I'm not sure why they opened so early this year. It was still cold out. They close for winter, so I was confused that they'd open while it's still winter. I stopped today and for the first time at this location the food wasn't good. I got some footlongs with everything, light mustard. There wasn't enough chili to taste it, and plenty of mustard and cheese. Didn't taste the onions either. I took the uneaten footlong in and told them and they remade it and it was great. Still a 5 star place. Just make sure you tell them if something isn't right. I'm still confused why they bothered closing if they were going to open so early. Either way, I'm just glad I can eat there again. It has been a long winter.

This was my first time at Jolly's. It's a Hamilton staple and I have failed till now to try it. It was delicious. It's an old school drive in root beer stand. I always love these; amazing food with fun nostalgia. And Jolly's is a legit old school drive in with an 80 year history. I got a Chili Cheese Footlong without Onions. It was very good, a little heavy on the mustard to the point it over powered the chili so I will get it without mustard next time. The French Fries are out of this world. Cooked and salted perfectly. The onion rings are just as amazing. Perfectly crunchy outside a delicious sweet onion on the inside. The Root Beer like all Root Beer stands was absolutely delicious. It was hard to drink it slowly. Also if you make a trip to Jolly's you MUST get a bag of their popcorn! It's better than movie theater popcorn!! It's super buttery and the perfect amount of salt. My friend calls it " contraband" if she goes without her kids.

My daughter is a huge fan of the chili cheese hot dogs, and so am I! Good French fries, onion rings, and funnel cake fries. Really miss the Apple fritters most of all. They were like mini apple pies.

Came here today with a friend for a quick bite and a root beer. It's your typical "drive-in" that's lasted from the days of yesteryear. I went with a home made root beer and a hot dog with everything - mustard, chili, onions, and cheese. I wasn't sure what to expect but the hot dog was very flavorful! All the flavor profiles complemented one another nicely, to the point where I wished I had ordered 2 and not the 1. The root beer was a bit too sweet for me, but good. I'd probably go with smaller portion next time - because I will be back!

Best chili dog I have ever had. Smothered with cheese. Of course the homemade root beer to top it off. Old style drive up. Cool place

If you're looking for authentic nostalgia stop here for their incredible homemade root beer! An early American drive-in from 1938, Jollys will bring their homemade root beer out to your car window in a chilled glass mug. It is sweet with the perfect hint of vanilla and absolutely delicious. Their burgers and fries are just average, but they have amazing onion rings! It's worth the stop if you're in the Hamilton area. There is something about a tray full of food hanging from your window, and eating in your car that makes it special - an ode to years gone by.

Great chili dog and root-beer stand. Root-beer is made in house. Pull-up and order to go or eat there and have the food delivered by a car hop. Chili is classic bean and beef but it's the freshly grated cheddar cheese that makes the food here. Only open during the summer months, worth checking out if you are in town.

Jolly's on the West Side of Hamilton has terrific Chili and A&W root beer. Be sure to try a footlong and have a Brown Cow.Eating at a drive-in diner is a cool experience, too. You can't get better than this chili. Wish it was open all year!

Why? Just, why? A order that is so simple, yet like usual, it's a surprise whats in your box! we would have had the food at the drive in, but it was brought in a to go box, which was ok- being a few blocks away and eating at home. yet the order isn't right. Single hamburger- yet has cheese. (No you can't possibly pick it off and no I can't eat it) A double cheeseburger - yet wasn't a double. *this person likes the cheese part, but still, order was wrong. Drinks- were slightly cooler then room temp, and no ice. The fries were correct. And the BBQ was correct. I should know better, but I think after 70 years, doing better with an easy order should be the bare minimum expectation with a short well known menu. This concludes my yearly Jollys visit. With an epic fail.

This has been a go for my family as long as i can remember I love the chili cheese burger
