Jimmy's Famous Hot Dogs

Today, our family enjoyed a delicious meal at Jimmy's. We feasted on a variety of options, including juicy burgers cooked to order, classic hot dogs, and flavorful catfish fillets. The catfish was particularly light and flavorful, and we enjoyed it alongside a side of crispy fries. To top it off, we couldn't resist the irresistible banana pudding – a true highlight of the meal. Jimmy's is a Durham institution, and it consistently delivers on quality food. We highly recommend it!

A locals only American standards joint. An "all peoples" establishment on both sides of the counter. The Texas Toast patty melt is head and shoulders over Whataburger. Ask for it "the way they make it "...the best. Don't be surprised if you end up sitting between a person with an oxygen tank and a family with babies. If you are fortunate enough to eat here, you are in our neighborhood, be neighborly. There's sports memorabilia all over the walls, don't hesitate to take it in. There's handicap parking, but it's tight for a chair. Home made pies and banana pudding at the register!

Although the food is somewhat cheaper than competitors, the taste is quite underwhelming. The burger has an odd sweet/ashy flavor, not sure if it’s coming from the bun or the meat, but I couldn’t finish it. The hot dog was an odd orange color that put me off after the first bite. The only thing I kind of enjoyed was the onion rings and the corn dog. The overall atmosphere of the establishment was exactly what you’d expect, older, kind of dirty and dingy. The workers were very nice, but I shouldn’t see a worker rubbing her mouth/nose with her hand and then proceeding to use that same hand to touch the bread that is toasting on the cooktop.

If you love a good hotdog such as myself... this is the place for you to try. The line was long but that's expected at a restaurant with tasty food. The workers did get everyone through the line in a timely manner. The hotdog was good and juicy with a soft bun nothing to fancy. The chilli on it made it standout from any other hotdog I ever had! The chicken wings was perfect size, fresh, crispy, and seasoning was not over powering. The dining area is on the small size and have a old fashion look to it but it was clean. Food was great, nice staff, and clean dining area. I would recommend this place you will not be disappointed.

Seems like the quality is not what it used to be. Their hot dogs used to be awesome. The inside smells just like the bathrooms. Needs a deep cleaning. You should not smell the bathrooms in the dining room.
