I love old school places like this that don't change they keep the same

[@yongyea4147]

Which is fine 😊

I have been going to Jimmy's for years. When it used to be an area we used to call Ju town. Then they moved on Union offer. Roosevelt, you know when you get close to Jimmy's. Because you can smell those onions for miles. I reside in Florida now. But every time I come back home to Chicago I get me a couple of those police sausages with onions and fries and a drink..

[@bradleyheck7204]

THIS is the first place I go to eat when I go to Chicago! Two Polish and knawing a pork chop right off the bone! The fries are beautiful, too.
