Ethan, Rufus, and I took a road trip north to the coal region today to visit Jimmy's Quick Lunch . My son and I barely fit at the table and had our legs tangled a few times, but what a great experience! They offer 3 types of Dietz & Watson hotdogs. 1/5 (5 to a pound jumbo franks -- spicy and jalapeño & cheese) and the traditional size. The fried onions I now know, I want on everything for my next visit! They were fried up by a magician, who got great Caramelization action where it counted! We both agreed the chili topping was aces . I'll be ordering the chili cheese fries with caramelized onions on my next visit. The sauerkraut was very good and generously topped the jumbo frank. We really enjoyed our lunch and all the hotdogs. I would prefer more color and cook on the actual frank. The place was packed for lunch and they staff was working their collective rear ends off, so that's a pass. When I ordered a plain dog to go for Rufus, the waitress gave me 3 "doggie dogs" no bun for him. What a sweet gesture for a pup from out of town! It was worth the hike up 309; spending the day with my son made it duly a wonderful day. Meanwhile, Rufus had a full day and is now in his burrito blanket snoring . #rushieeats #lvhdas read more

Well I work for the army depot in Tobyhanna. One of my wonderful military families kept saying how great your hot dogs are. I said I doubt we would get there as long drive. Well They surprised me with 6 of your chilli onion mustard dogs!They were so good. That was so nice of them. The wife's name is Gloria. Such great people. I called and said how good they were. They said when they come to the military commissary next month they will bring more. Great job! Delicious. Keep up the good work! Wish you were not so far. Then again I would be there every week. lol. Shelly from Tobyhanna PA read more

Best dogs in town so enjoy the best Hazleton has to offer but bring cash to enjoy them

Recommended by locals, so I tried it. Called, placed order for pick up. Got there and immediately noticed that bill was higher than it should have been. The man slinging the hot dogs was grumpy and said " That's the way it is. " I asked for a receipt, and he said "NO we don't give receipts. Aren't you going to leave a tip?" Apparently they want tips in the jar for pick up orders. Took the food to work. Very disappointed. The hotdog buns were a soggy dripping mess and the dinners tasted like the gravy was out of a can and watered down. Never eating here when I visit this town again. read more

They only take cash, and it's crowded. The food is decent, but... And there's no ATM nearby to get cash. Very inconvenient read more

My hot dog was quite good. Ordered with just ketchup and yellow mustard. Fries on side. Also good. Husband's burger wasn't so good. Had a warmed over taste. He got onion rings which were OK. Service was slow. While we did see friendly faces and welcoming greetings from other waitresses, ours seemed to be having a bad day. No eye contact. Menus tossed on table without a word. That sort of thing. Definitely an east coast, appreciated more by the locals than by out of town visitors vibe. Saw a few questionable moves in food service sanitation department. Rolls being grabbed bare handed out of bag by waitresses and thrown on plates. Our waitress was snacking between visits to tables. Very small booth. Barely room for legs under table. Overall, a good hotdog. But doubt we will go back if in the area again. read more

Where do you start with an icon. This place has survived the test of time. Serving the best chili dogs at an affordable price. I have been eating here all my life. When I moved and come back to town it is one of my first stops. The hotdogs I dream about. Served no nonsense no credit cards to keep the prices low. The French fries are great too. When my grandma was in a nursing home I would bring her a banana split. The food is one of the few things I break my diet for. read more

Came for the hot dogs and fell in love with the Chocolate Cola at the old time fountain. Sat at the counter and service was Five Stars!! read more

Jimmy dog are the best around and went there frequently! Sad that the mayor put the high tech meters out front of the business for parking! They have limited parking space and it will cost twenty dollars in parking tickets if you don't have the proper payment system electronics. Will miss going there. Sorry Jim ! read more

Outstanding Hot Dogs! Great service. The waitress was extremely nice. We are looking forward to going back! Welling environment. A place with history! read more

Hazleton's most notorious luncheonette; Jimmy's has been serving up their famous mustard, chili, and onion hot dogs for almost 100 years. This place has been the exact same since I was born. My go-to is two dogs with no onions (mustard, chili). read more

Great hot dogs and great service. A Hazleton classic diner. Fresh food from breakfast to dinner.

Hot digging dog, I don't go often but when I do, I always order a Jimmy dog and deep fried cauliflower and mushrooms. But I haven't disliked anything from their menu, so if you haven't been yet, please go and try it out yourself! read more

Good dogs, cash only, old school lunch, will definitely go again next time that I am in the area

Always the best hot dogs in town and you can't eat just ONE! Plus they have lots of other entrées that are just as delicious. Very affordable so bring your family! read more

Try the Jimmy's cheeseburger with the hot dog toppings on it. Cash only establishment

Love the chili dogs to go.. they steam in the wrapper and such a good taste.. we make a 30 mile round trip for them about 2-3 times a year. Glad we don't live closer.. read more

Walked in, sat down. Was ignored by waitresses for quite a long time. Never was given a menu. I got up to get 2 menus for myself and my friend. Still ignored by waitresses. Sat there for 20 mins, we got up an left. Will never return, will not recommend. Atrocious service! read more

Was craving hot dogs and ordered Jimmy dog with everything. Was expecting a typical hot dog but surprisingly, one of the best hot dogs I have tried. Also got the gravy and cheese fries. Gravy was subtle but enough flavor. Definitely satisfied my appetite! read more

Jimmy's Quick Lunch is a five-star dive. This isn't fine dining. It's not a place to go for the atmosphere unless you are fond of curt, but efficient service and decor that saw it's heyday decades ago. I know that Jimmy's serves breakfast and standard diner fair but I have never tried it. I always get the same thing. Two with everything, fries with gravy and cheese, and a Farmer's iced tea. The dogs are done on the flat top and slathered with yellow mustard and a thin, beanless chili. A hefty pat of onions flattened with a fork on top and they are complete. You better eat them fast because they tend to get soggy fast. I've moved from the area and sorely miss my Jimmy dogs. My family has even gone so far to send them out to California. I guess everyone has a favorite restaurant that reminds them of home....and Jimmy's is it for me. read more

Jimmy's Quick Lunch - Two with everything and a Farmer's tea. Heaven. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Hazleton, Pennsylvania

Excellent service and a consistent product! Hot Dogs are always good and fries with cheese and gravy are a must.

Whyyyyyyy do people like this place? The "chili" was akin to dog food, the hot dog was boiled, the cheese was unrecognizable, and the bun was soggy. Refer to the picture of the chili dog with cheese for evidence. Additionally, the chocolate milkshake we ordered was left in the blender unattended for far too long. It came to us in the form of chocolate milk. What a shame. I recommend going anywhere, anywhere at all, other than Jimmy's. It's absolutely NOT a destination. read more

Jimmy's Quick Lunch - Chili dog with cheese. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Hazleton, Pennsylvania

Four stars for the authenticity of this survivor of a restaurant and the complete disregard for "presentation" - it's not how the Hotdog With Everything LOOKS on your plate (or, shall I say, the hotdogS, since you can't get just one), but how it tastes when you shovel the whole disgusting mess into your mouth. :) The BEST hotdogs in the area - and don't forget to order them with a side of fries WITH cheese AND gravy - just in case your arteries aren't fully clogged. I'm sure there are other equally good down-home kinds of things on their menu, but these are the only two things I've ever ordered, and probably ever will. If you're looking for a "quick lunch" in Hazleton, Jimmy's is definitely the place. Call for hours - there is one weekday that they're closed, I can't remember which it is. read more

Been Going There For Chilie Dogs For 40 Years.. Love Them !!!

A local favorite for many reasons; good food, good people, and good prices, to name a few. The jimmy dog, which is a premium hot dog (opposed to an inferior major brand packaged dog), cheese, a mustard made of a house recipe blend of mustard, chopped onions, and homemade chili on a toasted bun, is the claim to fame. The chili is a drier chili which works very well for a less messy dog. Before looking for Jimmy's know this - if it sounds like a dive, looks live a dive, and taste like a dive, its probably a dive and Jimmy's is just that a dive restaurant. Bottom line: Jimmy's quick lunch is a great spot for a quick, tasty, and inexpensive lunch. read more

You have to love the little hotdog places you find on your travels!! Jimmy's did not disappoint for sure. Bigger in size than many I have been in but they need it. The crowd seemed to be happy to be there. The dogs are spot on. Supper friendly staff lead me I. The right direction. I just asked what dog am I here for and they made it happen. 2 of the signature dog and a sourdough mustard. As always for me a chocolate milk. They have a full menu offering but I was there for the dogs!! Had to try the rice pudding for a little sweet. read more

Outstanding hot dogs and rice pudding, they are for sure a must stop by in Hazleton. It's like stepping back in time the restaurant has that old feel of Hazleton. Smaller booth very very reasonable prices. 2 people can eat very well on $10.00. And the places is extremely clean. read more

Jimmy's has been a regular stop of mine for many years as I travel PA. First a little background. We always called these hot dogs with sauce, mustard, and onions (don't ever forget the onions!) "texas hots". My mom loved them. Growing up in the 60's in my hometown of Wellsboro PA there were two great places, the Texas Lunch, and the Town Lunch. Both made these, both used their own unique sauce, and they were great. Yes, every restaurant that serves these has its own unique sauce, hence there are as many sauce recipes as there are restaurants. I've eaten these throughout PA and NY for many years at many many places. (Incidentally, I lived in Texas for a few years and they've never heard of them there!). I digress. These are my favorites of all time. It's the sauce. And the onions. And I've heard that Jim has his hot dogs made to his specifications, slightly larger than a normal hot dog, and not quite a quarter pound dog. In short, if you have had a Jimmy Dog, you have had the best. I bought 6 yesterday in order to bring my son a couple. They refrigerate well and can be microwaved the next day for those of us who don't leave near Hazleton. I can always buy extras and they always get eaten. Great! read more

I LOVE their food don't get me wrong, but mostly every worker in this place is miserable! Super rude to each other AND the customers!!! Makes me not want to dine in! If you hate your job so much QUIT!!! read more

I like hot dogs. A lot. Chili cheese dogs also. So it was with great excitement when I found out about Jimmy's at a place that work would be taking me for 2 days. We hit it up for lunch the first day. The hot dog and bun are superb. The dog is large but not too big with a nice crunch and the warm soft bun is something to behold. The chili is ... well dry seems an odd way to put it, but not like other chili I've had on other dogs, but it was a good compliment with the onions. I wish they had mustard on the tables, as an aside. The fries and rings were meh. Standard Sysco fare. Glad I stopped. Enjoyed the history and color of the place, as well as the excellent hot dogs. CASH ONLY. read more

Is it possible to give 0 stars? Seriously this place is that awful. There was a time back in the day, when this was the go to spot and the food was edible. Well this isn't 1997, i agree with the reviewer about nostalgia. I think people are remembering what used to be. The food has become stale and flavorless. The chilli for the chill dogs is dry and has no kick to it. Hot dogs do taste pre boiled and then tossed on the grill to cook for a few seconds. Makes them taste really weird that way. Burgers are very small and not very good. The fries are cold but that wasn't a surprise with one waitress and the place packed for lunch. The service was another thing that was better in the yesterday years. Overall i haven't been impressed. Go to your local gas station, or for the same price go to the grocery store and buy a pack of hot dogs. This place may be one of the last businesses of hazleton but as with the rest of them that have vanished .... this one should take a hint and become another nostalgic memory. read more

People in Hazleton talk about this place like it's the best place ever. Maybe because they don't know better. Or maybe the hot dogs were once better than they are now and they only remember the nostalgia. Probably the most overrated place that I've ever eaten. They are no better than any other hot dog. I've had better ones at convenience stores. Don't go out of your way to try them. read more
