The sauce is very unique. I ate a cheese dog and a regular dog. Both were really good but the melted cheese covering the dog and the sauce was realllllly, really good. The toasted buns was another thing that set these dogs apart from what I'm used to and had before. The fries were nothing to write home about and there were some that were really crispy and perfect and other that were some what soggy so there was some inconsistency there. I was January so I had to eat inside of my car, but I can see that on a summer night or a spring day being able to eat outside would be really great.

Unless you grew up with this place (which I didn't), it's not really worth going to. It's out of my way, but so is the Red Caboose on route 51, which is much better. Don't get me wrong, the hot dogs are pretty good, but they're pretty expensive for what you get. Jim's secret sauce is pretty good too, but not enough to keep me coming back. I probably wouldn't even dislike the place, except that the french fries are horrible. It didn't look like they fried them at all. And they were burnt, so they had to have been baked at some point. If I want crappy baked fries, I have an oven at home for that. I go out to get real fried french fries. So unless you have some sort of sentimental attachment to this place, I'd pass.

Between 3 and 4 stars, leaning 4. Very good for a hot dog joint. If it was compared against only hot dog joints, it would be 5. Good local place with different flavors, reasonably priced and comfortable.

Love this place. Best hotdogs, burgers, and nachos around! A bit expensive, but worth it. The sauce makes all the difference.

Their hot dogs and burgers are decent, but I really liked their fries and ice cream, though. The famous sauce is nothing to get excited about. It's in a weird location, a converted house and has been there for decades. It's hidden in the middle of a residential area.

a little expensive, but the food is great! I could eat Jim's dogs with sauce and cheese all day every day.

My fiancé's dad grew up here. When he was little, he spent a summer with his grandparents, who would take him here for hot dogs. He hasn't stopped talking about this place since I met him! So of course, when making the cross-country drive to move to New York, we had to make a detour! Only 15 miles off the 70? Um, yes, please. Well this 15-mile detour turned into a 2-HOUR detour going up the steep and narrow mountain roads and then back down to the freeway. Was it worth it? You betcha. The bun... oh the bun. So toasty, so crispy around the edges. It actually holds up the hot dog and doesn't fall apart after each bite. The hot dog... hefty, flavorful, so delicious. And the sauce! Just perfect, ties everything together and adds an extra punch. He keeps asking me where I want to move next and I just keep saying, "Jim's!" I don't know why he keeps laughing. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. No hot dog will ever compare!

There have been many food options that were staples in my diet in Buffalo that I was surprised were not regulars in Pittsburgh. Hot dog stands is one of them. After complaining about not having them here, a coworker directed me to Jim's and said I had to try it. It is out of the way so it took me a while to finally get there, but I am glad we did! They have hot dogs, burgers and chicken, but you'd be foolish to not get a hot dog. Make sure you get it with sauce, pickles and cheese. SOOOOOOO good! There is table seating but note that it is picnic tables and they are not covered. They also have a variety of milkshakes. I tried the root beer and it was fantastic.

There's nothing like Jim's famous sauce. I've bought it in the bottle, but it's nothing like the real deal when you're there. If you're going to splurge on your diet, get a milk shake, too. Nothing like topping off a hot dog, cheese and sauce with a chocolate shake.

Note #1: The official name of the business is Jim's Famous Sauce. jimsfamoussauce.com Note #2: Credit cards are now accepted. Note #3: JIm's has no indoor seating. One can either eat in their vehicle in the parking lot or at a canopied table. Take-out is also available. Bakery boxes are used for this purpose, which I've always found nifty for some reason (is it the association with donuts?). Credit Yelp, specifically Yelena K, for bringing this venerable business, one that's been hidden in a Pittsburgh suburb for 65 years, to my attention. Ever since reading Yelena's review, I had been prickling to come here. A co-worker who lives in the area only excited my imagination further with his anecdotes. Jim's tale begins in McKeesport, 1927. Tsambikos "Jim" Damianos had arrived on American shores a number of years earlier as a twentysomething from the isle of Greece, and after tiring of working for others in various blue-collar positions around Pittsburgh and elsewhere, he opened the first incarnation of Jim's in a former house on Walnut Street. A shade over 2 decades later, Jim's would be relocated to its current space in a sleepy, residential portion of West Mifflin. Yeah. Betcha thought West Mifflin was nothing but Century III Mall, chain restaurants, and shopping centers, didn't ya? I did too, not realizing how sprawling the area is and how some parts of it are downright tranquil compared to the madness of Clairton Boulevard. After driving a bit out of our way (a monthly Wal-Mart visit was our excuse for coming out here...go figure...) and damn near hitting Dravosburg (Kay doesn't always pay attention to her GPS), we came across Jim's, abruptly I might add, so much so that we were grateful no one was tailgating the Kaymobile. I had been expecting a shack in the middle of a gravel lot, but what we found was something that resembled a cozy, modest home with a storefront in place of a porch and a manicured, fenced-in backyard. As I alluded to earlier, the bedrock of Jim's is this arcane, auburn sauce that touches upon tomato sauce, BBQ sauce, and catsup in composition, and according to the advertising can be used in place of any of those condiments. What it tastes like, however, is...well, nothing...until that spice slowly creeps up on the tongue, leaving a burn that rises then descends. Famous? Perhaps. It took buying a bottle and tasting it by its lonesome via butterknife to truly appreciate it. Having it on a hot dog with grilled onions and peppers had me wondering if my palate was out-of-order for the evening. Speaking of which, Jim's utilizes Smith's brand hot dogs which are grilled and later broiled while in the bun, creating a uniquely crisp texture and juicier, more savory flavor. This is especially true when one orders a "cheesedog" as I did (hot dogs are generally a twofer proposition for me). The cheese is laid down in flaps as opposed to shredded piles, and when broiled, develops a mildly charred crust. Burgers are handled in the same manner, and mine (blame hunger) was basically the spawn of a Steak 'n Shake burger and an Eat 'n Park Superburger with its moist flattened patty. L-T-M fan that I am, I was initially dismayed that I couldn't ideally customize my burger, so I settled for cheese, diced fresh onion, and that weird sauce I'm sure not everyone likes (I'm not even sure I like it). A Kaiseresque roll was a interesting and welcome wrinkle. Jim's also serves up milkshakes and the fundamental ice cream flavors in hard-serve form. I doubt Jim's makes their own ice cream, but whatever brand of chocolate this was, I'd like to know (Breyer's?), since it was rather tasty on a temperate, overcast August evening in a typically communion wafer-ish "cake" cone. The service was friendly as well as appreciative. The trouble is, I don't know if I appreciate Jim's enough to rate it higher than a 4, and I'm almost reluctant to go that far. Jim's sauce may not have totally captured my heart and stomach, but dagnabbit if I don't like the way they do dawgs, man. That sauce? Keep it. Just gimme the toasty cheese-coated franks. So yeah. A 4, dude. May Jim's merely be a quaint neighborhood secret no longer. What to do with that bottle of sauce, though? Eh, Kay did buy some chicken at the Megalomart... P.S. Jim's pencil-thick, fresh-cut (? I saw skin on them there tater sticks) french fries were not duff in anyway, either. P.P.S. The prices, while understandably high to some, are pretty much in line with the big fast food chains these days, and heck, I'd much rather be eating Jim's food than The Clown's as should you.
