The truck and owner might be present at 11am, but that doesn't mean they're ready to take orders. If you have quite a bit of time, stop on by.

You can order at an outside window or head inside. It was in the mid 90's so I went inside to escape the heat. Wasn't sure what to do at first, whether sat down or ordered at the counter and there was a bit of a standoff after I walked in as I kinda waited for instruction. I ordered a coney. It was ready pretty quickly and I went to grab it from the counter. It was loaded with coney meat that was well seasoned. There was shredded cheese under the meat. You could tell this is a local institution as the folks behind the counter knew and welcomed all the regular folks as they came in. Thanks to the folks at Steburgers for a tasty dog.

Just walk in and try to figure out the place. And then there it is. At the far end of the small room is the place to order with menues on a wall. Very unconventional. After the food is prepared, a person brings your order to your table. I ordered a large Chilli and was disappointed. There was plenty of items in it, plenty of ground beef, but it just didn't taste like traditional chilli. I was disappointed. From the Flying Elbows publicly, it is a burger specialty restaurant. I must admit that I'm old fashioned and not accustomed to this type of simplistic service and would rather be waited on. But, they have extensive bar service and that made up for the lack of true service....smile. I shall be back once more to try one of their burgers, but I sure do miss being waited on and leaving a nice sized tip for excellent service. But what do I know, I'm just an old man.

Jimmy's Gourmet Dogs is located in the Merle Hay Mall food court…read more I took advantage of the grand opening sale today. $2 dogs from 1100 AM - 100 PM. Ordered the Colin (pretty close to a classic Chicago dog), the Ruby, a Dallas and a Coke... $7.00 before tip. I'm a Merle Hay Mall food court fan (Vietnam Cafe, Lazize, Tamale's Industry, etc.). So with that and a great sale (along with Bath and Body Works semi-annual sale)... I had to check Jimmy's out. The girlfriend ordered a Dallas dog, a Casey dog (without BBQ sauce) and a bottle of water. The hot dogs come as advertised. Big all beef hot dogs, nice soft buns, and topped as described on the menu. My favorite was probably the Dallas. A classic chili cheese dog with onions. Though I could of used a knife along with the plastic fork. Lifting it as is was almost an impossibility. A bit of a good problem in a way... I only ended up wearing some of it. Thankfully the dogs came with a pretty good sized handful of napkins. The dogs were cooked perfectly. Not over and not under. A nice pop when you bit into them. The toppings didn't overpower the dogs and you could taste everything. It was a nice balance. We parked by the ramp on the East side of the food court. Had a short wait to order and a short wait for our food. Service was good. Typical for what you would experience at a food court. The product itself is a good product. They also offer fries and cheese fries as well non-fountain drinks. I'd be more likely to return if the individual regular price was a little bit lower, or if there was a combo/basket price. This is a new business and my guess is they will find out what works best for them, the market area they are in, and adjust accordingly. I'll be watching them because the food was good and I'm a sucker for a good hot dog... While we were eating the mall experienced a little bit of a water related incident flooding part of the floor and blocking our path back to the car. We exited to the West and had a nice romantic walk around Kohl's back to the ramp. https://www.facebook.com/jimmysdogsdsm

My brother brought me a Chicago dog. Having grown up there, I am always excited to try something…read morefrom my childhood. The toppings were mostly relish with a few raw onions. While the relish was good and very bright green like I expected, a true Chicago dog has a lot more onions. It also had mustard, a pickle, tomatoes and hot chilies all on a poppy seed bun. Maybe because it sat in the car for the ride from the mall to my house, the bread wasn't steamed and it was huge. I didn't mind that too much because the hot dog itself was really big. But, unfortunately, it was also completely flavorless. I expected a Vienna dog but that was something else because Vienna dogs add a nice touch of saltiness and have a distinct bite to them. This one had none of those. When taking a bite large enough to get the bread, meat and toppings, all I could taste was the toppings and the bread. The meat seemed like an afterthought when it should have been the star. Because of its size it was filling but I doubt I will get one again because the flavor was lacking.

By the back door, the stale stench of cigarettes lingers like the last guest at a party nobody remembers throwing. Hardly perfume, but there it is. Some places come with a little baggage. I ordered the Uncle Denny: a smash patty with grilled onion, lettuce, Dijon, Duke's mayo, pepper jelly, and American cheese on a sesame bun. Yeah, I stole that from their menu. A combination that understands desire better than most dating profiles. The beef is where the courtship starts. That dark, griddle-kissed crust. The cheese surrendering to the heat. Grilled onions settling into the whole delicious mess. Then the Dijon cuts through, and the pepper jelly slips in with sweetness and a little trouble. Duke's makes sure nobody leaves clean. You lean forward. Both hands on the bun. For a few minutes, your phone can go to hell. There's something deeply intimate about a good burger: the attention it demands, the small indignities you willingly accept, the sauce you discover on your wrist after you've already decided you're in love. Bourdain said it best: "I'm just a cheap, nasty, low down, trailer park burger slut". The tots belong here, too. Little fried accomplices, useful for stretching out the affair between bites. The Uncle Denny, tots, and a drink came to damn near $18. Enough to make you pause before paying. Enough that the burger had better give you something to remember. This one will. I'll go back. Probably order the same thing. I always do. There's a point in every romance when you stop pretending you're interested in seeing other people.

But into one and the middle was frozen. Took them to the counter and asked to have the redone. They microwaved them. I know this because then they handed them back to me the cheese melted out of all of them and I specifically asked "were they microwaved???" And they said yes. So I said I don't want them. The lady at the counter said they could remake them I think they just remade the one I had taken a bite of l. Couldn't pick them up. They were too soft and falling apart, and they were stuck to the bottom of the paper boat by all the cheese that had melted out Pretty sure it was still the microwaved ones. If it were busy I would be more understanding of the lazy shortcut. But I was the only person here! The cooks are that lazy? Zero care for quality? You literally need a fork to eat these cheese blobs that can't be picked up and the breading just falls off. The kitchen staff is incredibly disappointing and it's sad that this type of quality is allowed.
