Jimmy's Red Hots
M Landa · 106 Google reviewsJimmy's Red Hots — honest hot dogs in Humboldt Park. The decor hasn't changed, and it doesn't need to. Rooted in technique and tradition throughout. Cash only. John Johnson: "The toppings were fresh and plentiful, and the fries were crispy and golden"

“Great spot for a good old hotdog. Also great that the hotdogs come with fries. CASH ONLY.”
“Probé el Polish y el Redhot, obviamente el Polish es más rico pero lo que más destacó son sus papas, están muy bien sazonadas y no se siente mucho el aceite como en otros lugares Hay una barra para comer adentro limpia y el personal hace su trabajo bien, rápido y eficientemente”
“Always liked their food and I was in/out so fast with a perfect order.”
“12/3/25 Update: We Have Met Again... You Did Good you did Good... ❤️❤️❤️ 11/3/25 - Jimmy Ahhh Jimmys one of the most popular places to get an authentic Chicago dog but today I did not receive that instead I received some Wisconsin madness with no sports peppers.. oh God help me Please as I thought to myself. I never thought I'll see the day but hey at least it wasn't all bad at least they didn't put ketchup on it. That would be the only reason it's not getting a zero. We shall meet again Jimmy, Mark My Words. 😤”
“Came here today. Hungry. Last minute grab. Tell me why 2 hot dogs with fries and a large drink cost me $16.75? The hot itself is almost pencil thin. If you don't eat the fries right away, they're no good. I've gotten sick from eating this before and so have a few of my coworkers. Used to love this place. Not anymore.”
“I would not eat here anymore, I saw one of the higher ups probably a manager be so rude to the newer employees in training. It was a women saying “some people have common sense and others don’t” to a new employee who couldn’t find something it was probably his 2nd or 3rd just by guessing. Personally I’m not trying to support people like this. Not to mention she vapes not even 5 feet away from where the food is made. As you can see in the photo she’s vaping where the food is made and served. Theres no way that doesn’t impact the food.”
“haven't been to Jimmy's in over 20yrs same good service atmosphere and the food is still the Best”
“Like I said I've been eating Jimmy's All my life I haven't ate it for 20 years it tastes the same it's good it's a lot of food for $5.25”
“Absolutely love this place. Fantastic food. The fries are so good you don't need ketchup. 🤣 And the dogs are awesome. Thanks for the Chicago experience!”
