Excellent stop during a long road trip. Chili dogs and some fries, add a chocolate shake and I am recharged. Good food, quick service. My server today was Bay, a pleasure to chat with and a bright smile. Than you Jib Jab, well done! read more

Easy and cheap hot dogs I won't say much, because there's not much to say. It's a very basic hot dog shack, serving salty dogs with gravy and some basic toppings. As a quick glizzy stop, it fits the function. Price is cheap, quality is cheap, and it doesn't pretend to be anything more than that. It's fine for a quick cheap meal or snack, but don't expect greatness read more

The hot dogs were just that - nothing special, nothing bad. Fries were better then normal hot dog place fries. read more

My best friend, Portion Control, and I rarely pass up a hot dog. Such was the case when we stopped for gas in Girard. Little did we realize that we were stopping twice for gas. The Jib Jab Hot Dog Shoppe is definitely a novelty. Prices are ridiculously low at $1.68 / dog. We each ordered two....Portion Control had one each w cheese and sauerkraut. I had a cheese and a "sauce", kind of like a poor man's chili. Dogs were smallish, and overwhelmed by the buns. Just like I wrote above that we stopped twice for gas, we also paid twice. 3 stars read more

Service was mediocre. No refills of our drink. Cheese sauce is ATROCIOUS!!! Must start as a powder and get reconstituted. Venue isn't the cleanest and for specializing in hot dogs, not very noteworthy. We do not recommend. read more

This used to have the best hot dogs around.New owners use the cheapest hot dogs and have changed the chili recipe.They have lost my business and probably many of others read more

I visit Ohio just for this place. The food is wonderful, fries bordering on addictive. I love it. It's been good since I was a kid and is good now. I recommend getting it to go, the inside isn't the nicest and it tends to be quicker through the drive through. read more

Jib Jab Hot Dog - Cheese fries - Hot Dogs Near Me - Girard, Ohio

First time visitor here. I decided to dine in at this location with my girlfriend. Everything was excellent from the service, the food, and the prices. We tried a various of items like their #3 Cheeseburger Combo, #2 Big Deal Meal with 4 Chili Dogs, and lastly 2 all-beef hotdogs. I had cheese fries; she had chili fries. Everything was timely; also had amazing customer service. Everyone was friendly especially our server, Beth. If you are craving a new hot dog place. You won't be disappointed. read more

Talk about a roadside disaster! What started as a promising pit stop on our road trip quickly devolved into an absolute nightmare. The kitchen was a full-blown freak show, with the cooks practically brawling while trying to make orders. But the real horror show began when one of the cooks--a girl--grabbed an order she was making and ate it right in front of us. Before I could even process that, a huge guy, who I assume was another cook, bodily threw her out of the kitchen and then proceeded to finish eating the food himself! I was beyond disgusted. Sharing body fluids with strangers, let alone the people preparing my meal, is not on my menu. I lost my appetite instantly. My untouched plate sat there as I paid and practically ran out. This isn't just bad service; it's a major health hazard. Eating on the line, above customers' food, with no hairnets, no aprons, and cooks literally fighting and eating the orders themselves? That's a serious violation of every health code imaginable and a complete betrayal of the trust between a restaurant and its patrons. We pay for clean, wholesome, quality food, and this place delivered the exact opposite. Absolutely vile. read more

December 14, 2022 Party of 2 Atmosphere - 4 stars: Great old diner feel. The layout was perfect for quick service. Minimal decor with the menu on the wall. For an old semi blind guy, the menu was hard to see.   Service - 5 stars: Very quick ordering and friendly servers. I had questions due to not having a menu in front of me, but the server was able to quickly guide me in the right direction. Food - 3 stars: Ordered two hotdogs with sourkraut and mustard. Dogs came out fast and were loaded well. They tasted okay, but nothing special. No snap and tasted like a run of the mill hotdog. read more

Jib Jab Hot Dog - Two cheddar chili with extra onions - Hot Dogs Near Me - Girard, Ohio

While back in OH, we stopped at Jib Jab for lunch. Haven't been back for awhile and it made me so happy. It was delicious as it was growing up in Youngstown. It's nice that they have stayed true to their recipe and values. It's also hard to believe their prices are still extremely reasonable. I had two chili cheese hot dogs that were still absolutely delicious. I now live in Pittsburgh and no hot dog ever comes close. Jib Jab is by far the gold standard of delicious hot dogs - the chili, the cheese. Made me so happy. The people are still super friendly and they're speedy in serving you. I also love the positivity on the sign out front. If you love hot dogs or hamburgers or sausage or chili, they actually do everything well, you must eat here. Amazing! read more

Jib Jab Hot Dog - Loved my chili cheese dogs! Mom loved her chili dogs. Perfection! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Girard, Ohio

This used to be the best hot dog in all of Ohio. In fact, it's been the same recipe since 1946. Apparently the owners sold it relatively recently and the new owners made it a corporate entity and CHANGED the recipe! So many people in Northeast Ohio group up with this hot dog shoppe and this is truly an unforgiveable tragedy. Not only that, the new owners don't respond to any questions or comments about this. They do not care. They sacrificed a hometown favorite for over 70 years for profits. Shame on them. If you live in the area let them know your disdain for the new recipe. The service is still really good so no ill will towards the employees at all. read more

When I come back home, this is one of those places thats a must have for me. Love their chili dogs and fries. Cant beat Jib Jab

Came in on a Sunday afternoon. Despite being busy they had a portion of the dining room roped off? That was my first indication that I was not in for a good experience... I sat at a table... And sat. And sat some more. Never was acknowledged as other tables came and went. After half an hour I decided I was not welcome here. I have never seen anything like it. Is the food good? Who knows? read more

Was here a decade ago when I first moved to the area and wasn't impressed. 10 years later, it's worse. Underwhelming hot dogs. Ketchup-y chili sauce. Stained-up, disgusting drop panel ceiling. Most of the booths filthy. Teenage Waitstaff Of The Living Dead were barely conscious or mentally present. Food is cheap and the fries were good. Avoid. Jib-Jab is coasting on the stank fumes of yesteryear. read more

Couldn't use 2 coupons at same time girard location. Wanted double order (said up to 4 orders on same coupon. 2 Chilli dog 1 fry :$5. So ordered 4 Chilli dogs 2 fry for $10 right... ok? Paid $10.58 (tax?) Got home...only 4 dogs 1 fry.. shorted us a fry. BEWARE! read more

Where to begin??? This place was sold a couple years back and has gone down hill ever since in my opinion. The chili sauce ain't quite like it used to be. The large fries are burnt or old 8 out of 10 times and the portion size has been reduced significantly. I figured they wouldn't mess with the iconic sausage egg and cheese breakfast sandwich but something ain't right with it. The sausage is missing that signature taste. If you bring it up to anyone who works there they say nothing has changed. But you can't fool me! Miss the good ole days! read more

The new cheese sauce has a weird golden color to it. The hot dogs lack any flavor. The fries and chili were good. The onions were oddly cut and reminded me of something that had been sitting out an extended period of time. Overall very sad. read more

Horrible experience, we were sat at a dirty table. Then we asked the waitress to clean the table please . She brought our drinks sat them on a dirty table . We asked for a towel to wipe table she handed to us ?? I said we are supposed to bus own table ?? Food was horrible , if you could find the hot dog ? So sad that this establishment has went straight downhill. Don't waste your money read more

Jib Jab Hot Dog - Chili and cheddar hot dog - Hot Dogs Near Me - Girard, Ohio

Wasn't impressed. I expected better food. Hotdogs are a craving and they need to be excellent. My chili cheese was meh. Hated the fake cheese sauce. Didn't try the other food. read more

To start... I was always a lover of job jab....but today really changed my mind. Buns were not at all steamed but hard. The prices have more than doubled. What I orded today use to come to maybe $15 today I paid $30.. And the service was bad. Took 15mins for someone to come take our order. Then got it wrong . Like the waitress wasn't really listening.. don't say oh they are busy. Nope maybe 5 people sitting inside and hardly any drive thru. Sorry today was just all around bad. read more

Great chili dogs and a surprisingly awesome breakfast! The buns are all steamed and taste great!

A busy busy place when everyone is home for the holidays- which got me excited to see what the rave was about. Friends who are from the area swear by this place. A seat yourself, old diner style restaurant with speedy service and a menu placed on the wall for everyone to see. We ordered a 20-pack of hot dogs with chili, cheese, and onions. I was not the biggest fan of the cheese, it was almost like a runny nacho cheese. Everything else though was delicious! I was full after 1 but pushed myself to have 3. I also had root beer served in a throw away foam cup (they had no Dr. Pepper sadly). We had a order of fries as well which tasted just like my grandma's freshly cut homemade fries. Perfect place for after your kids soccer game or even a casual get together with friends. read more

Jib Jab Hot Dog - Chili cheese dogs with onions, side of fries, and a soda. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Girard, Ohio

I don't know what you did to your French fries but, they went from being the best in the area to the worst I have ever had. Over cooked and nothing but bits and pieces along with the greasiest I have ever had. At least the dogs were good. read more

I grew up in Girard, moved, and even though visits come and go.....it's been way to long (years) since I've made it back to this Girard Classic. The Italian sausage is Really good and tasty. Also had chili-cheese dogs I'm like where's the cheese but they put cheese first,onion then the chili...nice balanced touch.. Also had a well done wedding soup... Also saw other tables with a large mountain plates of fries (chili optional)...for like $3.50 or so I think, what a bargain.. If in Girard ....a must try & stop....just off I-80 read more

Jib Jab Hot Dog - Outside sign - Hot Dogs Near Me - Girard, Ohio

Best place ever!!! The dogs are delicious! GO 4 THE GOLD, The chili, cheese, and onion dog, to be exact! Great price and atmosphere! I love that you can add in additional flavors to your cola, like cherry. They provide super fast service, which probably takes away from the time needed to actually clean in this fine establishment, but who the hell cares?!?!?! Jib Jab, Stay true and don't change a thing... Unless u want to up the cleanliness.... read more

The hot dogs are minuscule, the sauce is not the same and the last time I had their chili it was so spicy and hot that it was inedible. Not the same business read more

A bit of a nostalgic stop for me. I was in town for a ceremony remembering fallen police Officer Justin Leo, and went to Jib Jab for an early dinner. A couple chili cheese dogs, and some chili cheese fries did the trick. Growing up in western PA, I grew up with Brighton Hot Dog Shoppe, and this is almost as good. For those of you looking for traditional chili - you need to understand this is a chili "sauce" and is very common in this part of the country (western pa/eastern OH). Great service, fresh hot food, and CHEAP! read more

Jib Jab Hot Dog - Hot Dogs Near Me - Girard, Ohio

Your lucky to get one full star since the old owners sold the place you knew owners do not know what you are doing your food has gone down hill your service sucks and your prices on the food is ridiculous for how bad it taste the last time I was there I got food poisoning and I will never be back there again at least the old owners cared about the customers you knew owners don't give a fuck don't be surprised if the health department does not come and shut you down and make you pay a hearty fine or take away your license read more

Fast and Quality service, excellent hot dog and fry combo, and yet I still have not had the opportunity to have a plate for early morning breakfast read more

Well.....it's sad to say but since this staple in my little hometown changed ownership, the quality and quantity have gone down thus earning them one less star then my original review several years ago. The fry portions are a bit smaller however the price went up. The chili cheese dogs are still pretty good as the new owners are still using the same sauce and cheese recipe but on yesterdays visit, two of the buns were starting to stale on the top edges. I will say that their sausage, egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches are still on point even though there are many who complained that they changed the kind of bun they previously used for years but I don't find this to be a problem. Again, the prices on these also went up. The old fashioned milkshakes are still fantastic. The prices have nothing to do with the one less star rating rather it was the smaller portions and the lack of freshness that did it. I will continue to frequent this place as I have for over thirty years now and maybe they'll earn a star or two back. You never know. read more

The food was incredibly bad and everybody working there was unprofessional. Do not recommend.

Solid chilli cheese dog. Nothing special aside from the price. Server was pretty busy so she wasn't very attentive in the refilling department. Quaint place in a small town. I come cuz the hubby loves his childhood haunts. read more

Pretty good place I recommend this. The food is good very good employees they are very kind.

We have heard about this place from friends and were out here from Boardman and because of the Quarantine not many places were open. We used their drive through. We got the chili cheese dogs and one of their cheeseburgers and a side of fries. The hotdogs were good especially for the price. Paired well with the chili and the cheese. The cheeseburger was very good. Cooked perfectly and had good toppings. Fries were like carnival fries. For the price this place is worth the drive. read more

Love this place. I grew up on the awesome food from the original shoppe in Warren and this was our first time at Jib Jab since I left Ohio 23 years ago. Amazing place, staff and those prices are so!!!! read more

Not a big fan. Their cheese sauce is really salty and the rest of the food is nothing fancy. But the prices are good.

Best hot dog place in the state. Not kidding. This place is great and affordable. I swear, I usually get 4 chili cheese dogs and the chili cheese fry with a sierra mist and a water. It less than $10. Amazing service, its quick right to the point and for the most part a clean place. Highly recommend over Hot Dog Shoppe and that new Hot dog place on the corner of Raccoon and Berky I think...where Brusters used to be. JIB JAB is the way to go. Very good. Giving this 5 stars strictly for the food. Its not gourmet food, its hotdogs..and they are good. read more
