Jimmy’s Dog House

Old school hot dog done right. Bun was steamed perfectly and the hot dog had that nice snap when you bite into it. Fries were fresh and crispy. Great place for a Chicago hot dog!

Not the cheapest, but the best hotdog in Westmont.

Delicious old school hot dog stand! Great Chicago dog and great Gyro! I love the fries, crispy and tasty! Kronos Gyros and Vienna hot dogs, forget about it!

A good solid Dog!
I went and got the Hot Dog Combo. The dog was above average for sure. Fresh, nice steamed bun, great toppings and CELERY SALT!
The fries were fresh and crisp.
If you are looking for a very good Chicago Hot Dog, this will not disappoint!

Yum. Got a hotdog and fries here the other day. Hotdog was relish and made exactly as requested (the guy even asked if I wanted celery salt). The fries were fabulous! Hot and crunchy, but soft on the inside with lots of salt. I have zero complaints and will be back.

Loved it!!! Passed it a million times driving up and down Ogden and finally stopped today. Dogs, fries, and onion rings!!! Fresh, hot, fast and VERY reasonably priced. Can’t wait to go back!

After driving by here many times I stopped today. I was the 3^rd car in line and it went pretty quick but I was in no hurry. Just to check it out and look at the menu I got a dog with fries. Everything on the dog including peppers. It was good, very good. I know it’s just a hot dog right? but lets face it for what they are they do vary quite a bit. A nice warm poppy seed bun and fresh toppings. You need a warm bun to squeeze around all the toppings. I’m usually not a fan of skinny fries but they were fresh, extremely hot and crisp. I sat in the bowling alley parking lot next door and ate it. I think after tax it was $ 3.50 ish. Fresh, good, reasonably priced and I look forward to going again and trying maybe a gyro.

Move along… nothing worth trying. The hot dogs average with bad generic tasting toppings. Mustard and relish just weren’t right. Tomato was mush. Just bad. Fries has no taste. Not going back.

Best Chicago dog around. Everything is fresh, every time I have gone. You might just drive by this little yellow hotdog shack and not think twice but you would be missing out. So drive slow down Ogden and get a great hotdog.
P. S. I really didn’t like hotdogs till moving to IL, must say something for this place.

It is what it is, was what it was. Not bad but surely not good. The service leaned toward bad and the quality of the hot dog was mediocre at best. Everything seemed «cut down» and cheap. The lack of quality tied in with the crappy service makes this an easy ignore if you are cruising the Ogden circuit.

I thought this was a great little place. I was going to the bowling alley next door and very hungry so decided to drive through — there was one lady that took care of everything in a timely manner. The food was hot, fresh, good, and cheap. I wish this place was close to my work or home.

I like this JOINT, I really liked the long skinny fries and the beef hot dogs on poppy seed buns, ready fast, hot, fresh, I dont eat alot of hot dogs but when I have a taste for another I will go back. The 3 hot dog special came with fries, and a drink, only 7 bucks or so. It’s tucked away, cute little place, and the guy was friendly.

Jimmy’s Dog House is a small drive up hot dog joint located off of Ogden avenue in Westmont. There are two lanes and two drive thru order kiosks and a set of winding paths that lead to the window where you pay and pick up your food.
I decided to try the two hot dog special, my food was ready quickly and I was soon on my way home. The hot dog included was a skinless dog, it came on a soft poppy seed bun. The pickle included is thin and not sour, a small tomato slice was included towards the center of the dog and celery salt was visible. Just the right amount of mustard, onions and relish were applied and the sport peppers weren’t too hot.
The fries included were thin fries very similar to those served by Mickey’s Hot Dogs in Villa Park. They weren’t too salty and had a nice potato filling. These complimented the hot dog very well.
Overall Jimmy’s makes an excellent Chicago Style Hot dog, none of the frequent missteps made by other hot dog joints were present here. I’d recommend Jimmy’s Dog House, good food at a fair price.

I usually get the Gyro’s which are great, not greasy, alway fresh and lots of meat. I also like the soup and beef sandwich’s. Great service, good food.

This little hot dog place serves up a decent dog but nothing special. The fries — in my opinion need to be delish to make the meal — were just average. Price is, you guess it, average.
It’s a strange location for a small hot dog stand/​drive thru — really needs to be near a college or something. Within a mile in either direction on Ogden avenue you have virtually every fast food option you can think of and it needs something to stand out of the crowd.
