Jody's Hot Dogs - Joliet

I had the bark topped with nacho cheese and giardiniera, and I requested extra sauce. I also tried the fries with nacho cheese and giardiniera. I really loved the interior of the restaurant. My only wish is that the giardiniera was spicier (but I enjoy things hot) and that the bark was a bit more moist (I tend to prefer my bark quite wet). I definitely recommend this place – the flavors are spot on!

Great food, friendly staff, and I absolutely loved the decor! I ordered the crispy chicken, and it was delicious.

Jody's offers fantastic Chicago-style hot dogs, along with tasty sides and fries! The staff is friendly, the food is delicious, and the prices are reasonable. Give it a try—you won't be disappointed!

Cool place full of route 66 and old moviestar image memorabilia. counter service is fast and the prices are very reasonable. they get the food fast and hot. I never had a Chicago dog with a gurke, but that's how they do it here. both the chicago and the chili dogs were good and I give special mention to the hand cut frits.

We stopped in on a Monday around 5:30 pm. This place was jumping. It's kind of out of the way. I've lived here for about 8 years and I didn't know it was there until I heard some buzz on social media. We both ordered smash burgers, diet Dr. Pepper, and 1 order of fries, and one order of onion rings. Also got a cup of soup to try because I'm all about the cream of chicken soup on a weekday. First, I'm giving bonus points for serving diet Dr. Pepper. This is a unicorn. If you know, you know. The smash burgers I was expecting to like, but I really LOVED them. I think they are back there actually smashing fresh beef. It tasted so fresh and juicy. If these are frozen, then they completely fooled me. They are so tasty. It was perfect, from the bun to the pickle, which are thick and crispy unlike the emaciated pickles from a typical fast food place. Also, I think they are cutting real French fries because those too tasted fresh. The portion of fries are enormous. You can share a large with two people. I don't think they are doing the double fry because they are a bit limp but they are very good. The onion rings are crispy breaded and that's my jam. I loathe a battered onion. They are big crispy deliciousness. The soup was average. It was good, not great. It will definitely hit the spot if you have the hankering for some cream of chicken soup, but I have had better. Overall, it was great. I'll definitely go back for a smashburger. I heard they may be a limited time. I sure hope not because they are probably the best burger in Joliet.
