Jimmy's Famous Hot Dogs — Restaurant in Mebane

When they first opened they were great. However, as of lately they have gone down hill. Seems their prices went up but the quality and value have went down. I ordered to go today around 4:30. When I got home they placed my burger on top of my fries making my fries a soggy mess. My burger was burnt. It tasted like it was cooked this morning and reheated. It had huge burnt chunks. Also they served me a burnt bun. I can't even believe they sold someone food of this caliber. I ordered it Jimmy's way. The coleslaw was dripping with mayo and huge chunks of cabbage. Very different than before. There was one giant piece of onion laying across my burger. I was very disappointed. Also their menu prices at restaurant were different than the online menu. 😳 After I got home I was so tired from a busy day at work I wasn't even about to drive back up there. The last 5 times I've been there I left feeling disappointed and unsatisfied. I took a picture of the burnt bun. But I can't seem to post on here. Sadly I do believe today was my last attempt at giving them another shot. I also was not given a receipt for my purchase. The guy who took my order was...

Some folks will say “it’s just a hotdog. How can you mess up a hotdog?” They’re kind of right. It is just a simple hotdog. What makes a hotdog special is when it’s properly constructed.

Jimmy’s. They are hotdog architects.

The bun 👍….. perfect bread proportion steamed to perfection. The bun should be a condiment to the weiner. Too big of a bun and it throws off the bite. Slaw 👍 a light, crunchy, and tasty slaw. It’s not piled on, making it seem like you’re eating a hotdog slaw. Chili 👍 chilis can be super watery. They make the bun soggy and drop all in your beard. Jimmy’s has the perfect chili for hotdogs. Onions 👍 nothing special. It’s a white onion. BUT! They sprinkle it about the weiner adding to the perfect portions of other condiments so your partner will still kiss you after you’ve sucked down half a dozen hotdogs. THE HOTDOG 👍👍 bun size hotdog, not over cooked or boiled. Just a delicious piece of wonderful meat compilations.

Oh yeah. Mustard. I didn’t have one drop of mustard leak out. That’s amazing.

I don’t know who came up with the construction of this hot dog, but whomever they are deserves recognition....

(Updated on Oct 12, 2021 - leaving my original stuff and updated just the last paragraph.) I moved out to Mebane a few years ago, but not new to the Jimmy's Famous Hot Dogs brand, as I frequented a location in Durham. I am a huge fan of their onion rings. Whatever brand they're buying, it's fantastic. I don't ask because I wouldn't be able to keep them in the house! :)

I'm a huge fan of their double cheeseburgers (done "Traditional"). The burgers are always juicy, the cheese perfectly melted, and the toppings are always good. The hot dogs (both regular and all beef) are also good. I appreciate the selection of toppings!

So in my original review I commented about the bacon being kind of crumbly. As you'll see below, they replied and said they would look into it! And they did! Every time I've been back since and ordered my bacon double cheeseburger, it was full strips of bacon, just crispy enough to stand up to being handled on a sandwich. I've enjoyed it immensely!

Thank you Jimmy's for being open to customer feedback/opinions, and making adjustments. I hope everyone is as happy with the outcome as...
