This was the hotdog it looks really good. It's all the way, but like I said nothing stood out. The chili didn't have enough flavor.

My husband and I decided to try Jimmy's hotdogs. First walked in we were greeted with a smile. Customer service was good.We ordered hotdog all the way, and we ordered a cheeseburger with fries Cheeseburger was average. It didn't really stand out to me, but it wasn't terrible. Either the french fries were OK but some of them on the inside looked gray was also I think if they worked on the chili and made it a little bit better that would possibly make the hotdog stand out more on both of them go with a bun maybe a potato bun and maybe toasted a little bit on the grill then I would say that the food would live up to its name but as it stands right now, I thought everything was just mediocre not great, but not bad .

This was my first time eating here, at recommendation of my boyfriend who had been and knew that they have good food. We had a good experience. The lady taking our order wasn't overly friendly but she also was not rude (fine with me) .. the wait time for our food was not long - when we got the food everything was hot and fresh, literally just cooked. My catfish was very good and so were my boyfriend's hot wings. I've seen other reviews knocking this place.. I think that these people are expecting this to be more than what it is.. a simple neighborhood grill /cookout. Not a place you ask for a "medium burger" lol...... this isn't fine dining. If that's what you're expecting - wrong spot. The restaurant itself was not dirty. No flies etc; the only thing that bothered me was it was kinda warm inside, I'd go back

My first visit here and the food did not disappoint. Go "all the way" with Jimmy's Famous Hot Dogs. I got the combo: 2 dogs, drink and fries for under $10. It's counter service so someone will call out your number. Let's get back to the food. all the way gets you a dog with a chili sauce with a great taste and the right consistency. Over some Cole slaw that added a nice touch of crunch on the dog, throw on some mustard and onions and you can savor one of the best hot dog joints in the Dominion State. The only disappointment was the woman behind the counter who was loud, obnoxious, and gave the place a ruff vibe. 2 stars off for her bringing down the place.

Hot dogs tasted great! Catfish was good. Onion rings and sides were good, service was fast. Atmosphere is a little old and the place could definitely use some renovations but other than that, great hot dogs!

I will admit, it's pretty tough to give anyone 1 star. At the same time this has to be the worst child dog ever. The dog was void of taste...either all of the salt was boiled out of it or this is a woefully miserable and tasteless brand of protein. Condiments nor chili could save it. I'm sure I grimaced with each bite but powered through, anyway. The chili was equally lifeless. Here's my suggestion, stay far away from this place unless you have absolutely no alternative- I know I will.

Food was not good now worth the price. Chili was so salty and the bottled soda was the best

We frequently Google "best ____" (food item). Then we take a road trip and rate the food on a 1-10 scale. This took us to Durham Sunday for hotdogs. We went to Jimmy's Famous Hotdogs on Hwy 55. We ordered the Nathan's hotdog all the way =9, chicken wings =6, onion rings =10, crinkle fries =5 and fried catfish =15! We like to sample a lot when we go somewhere new and out of the way. They have FANTASTIC catfish! How weird is that? We only ate one filet and brought the rest home for catfish Po Boys. I make a mean tarter sauce. We got it to go then ate off the tailgate in a shopping center because it was nice and sunny. We were nearly attacked by a flock of seagulls. SEAGULLS!! Luckily some woman started feeding them McDonalds fries so they left us alone. Anyway, it was a nice drive and good food. If you go, don't be discouraged by 3 stars because people complained about the wait. What they don't tell you is they fix it fresh so the delay is worth it. Health rating is 96. Since we were fighting of birds, I only took a picture of the catfish at home.UPDATE FOR ONION RINGS: I should've described them. They seemed to have both beer batter and just enough Panko to add more crunch. I don't like Panko only because they hurt the roof of my mouth. I think you would get onion in every bite but I fold and cram it in, in one mouthful.
