Jay, and Jay's Chicago... is simply top notch. Food is great, service is great, zero complaints. As a gal who lived in Chicago for 9 years I miss a good Chicago dog or Polish or Italian Beef once in a while. Not only does Jay deliver awesome Chicago food but he is just the kindest person and I can literally taste his love of Chicago in it! We have hired him a few times for work events, and will continue to do so because they rock. This past week they were running a few minutes late, because they got a flat on one of the food truck tires. Didn't stop him from arriving in plenty of time to make lots of employees happy with full bellies. Thanks Jay! read more

Jay's Chicago - Chicago dog - Food Trucks Near Me

Great food! Reminds me of being back home in Chicago! Do yourself a favor and grab a hot dog from this fabulous food truck!

Oh baby that Italian beef! I have searched the tri county area for 2 years looking for an authentic Italian beef and finally found it. The beef is seasoned perfectly, sliced super thin, packed on a soft, yet substantial, hoagie roll and topped with giardinera. Make sure you get cheese! It holds the bottom of the bread together nicely. The fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I just wish they came with an option for that nuclear cheese sauce that is so artificially, disgustingly delicious. For some reason, real shredded cheese just didn't do it for me on the cheese fries. Jay was a really nice guy and served the food up quick despite being abandoned by his helper. Well done, Jay! Can't wait to come back! read more

Jay's Chicago - Italian beef and cheese fries - Food Trucks Near Me

Jay does an outstanding job replicating the top dishes people know from Chicago. The dog is fantastic and the beef sandwich is to die for!!!

Had an Italian beef while at the Franklin Farmer's Market today. It was OUTSTANDING. My mom doesn't like spicy food and she still ate it because it tasted so good (it wasn't that spicy she's just a wimp). I've been to Chicago a few times but am not a local so don't have a ton of xp to compare it to, but I'm willing to bet this is the real deal. I've been thinking about it ever since I finished it. I have to go back and eat it ASAP. So good! read more

Jay's Chicago - a sandwich wrapped in aluminum foil - Food Trucks Near Me

If I didn't know better, I'd think I was in Chicago. It was perfect. If you don't like this, you don't like authentic Italian Beef.

Authentic Beef dip! Hefty portion too. Great giardiniera. no fat. Good roll. I will totally be back to try a dog and some other stuff. Might become my Saturday breakfast routine for a little while read more

Not bad bratwurst, I got mustard and a pickle on it since they don't have sauerkraut. Idk if Chicago folks use sauerkraut or not but I do. The fries were cooked well and the chipotle aioli was very good. Would eat again. read more

Tasty well spiced hot dogs and sausages at Franklin Farmers Market. Checked in for our two naked steaming hot bratwursts today. Friendly, friendly folks. Update: Jay has been so successful with his hotdogs, he's branched out to burgers and they are fantastic. And he has a food truck now. His fries might be the best in Franklin. I bet they are triple fried. Always super hot and fresh, well-seasoned with his crazy good chipotle aioli. read more

If you're looking for authentic Chicago fare this is the best I've had in Nashville. Spot on delicious. Once you have Jay's it will leave you craving for your next visit. Outstanding. read more

Pretty authentic--Jay is definitely from Chicago, and the Italian beef sandwich is just like what you get at the joints in 312. Good Chicago-style hot dogs too, done correctly with neon relish and poppy-seed buns. read more

WOOWWW I stopped by this food truck at work and Man am I glad I did. I got the hot dog and the Italian beef sandwich. Both were bursting with flavor. The hot dog with its toppings were juicy. The beef sandwich came with this spicy olive oil veggie mix and it was such a good combination of hot, spicy, umami flavor. It was crazy good. I would post a picture but I ate it too fast. Whoops. read more

I can't give this a 5 star yet because I haven't had enough of their food to give it a 5 star. However, the Italian Beef sandwich with giardiniera was absolutely delicious! I've never had an Italian beef sandwich, especially in Chicago, but this is what I hope they are like because it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. If you're ever at the Franklin Farmers Market you have to give them a try! read more

It's OK. Born and raised in Chicago, imagine my horror when I learned I couldn't get Vienna Beef in the grocery stores after moving to Nashville a few months ago (Why not?). I was thrilled to discover Jay's Chicago food truck. I tried a few times and expected the hot dogs I'm familiar with from the hot dog carts on North Ave to Gene & Jude's to Portillo's but Jay's is without casing and nothing more than steaming a Vienna dog at home. And for $5, no. And the fries ($4) are good only because they use a fryer. Again I expected hand cut russets with the right amount of greasiness. I haven't tried the beef yet. Not sure if I'll be back. read more

Jay's Chicago - This was $9. - Food Trucks Near Me

Been here a couple of times I've never been disappointed. Jay's chicago serves up some really good hot dogs and sausages. I appreciate the delicious food and friendliness. The price is ok. Let me tell you about the meal I had. I ordered the polish sausage with the Chicago Fixin'. The fixins included a dill speared pickle, hot mustard, poppy seeds, Neon green relish, some pickled peppers, chopped onion, and some cut-up tomatoes. The bun was warm and soft. Other vendors give you a cold bun, not Jay's! When I bit into the polish sausage it had great consistency. The dog was firm and there was a snap when biting into it. I appreciated that snap. I think it signifies quality ingredients. This is far better than the dog at the old Sounds stadium. I also ordered some French fries as a side. What can I say? They were the standard regular fries. I ordered chili on top. This was much better chili than usual. What I really like about it, was there wasn't too much salt. Other chili, I've tried are just too salty. The heat factor was minimal. If I didn't know any better it tastes like it made from scratch. Who knows? I really wanted to give Jay's Chicago five stars, but I have knock off one star for the price and the neon green relish. I get charged about the same price as in a local baseball park. But because of the quality of food and the amount that I get, it deserves 4.5. Who knows? This is just my opinion. read more

Jay's Chicago - Chicago Style polish sausage Amazing!! - Food Trucks Near Me

I got the Chicago Italian Beef sandwich which I requested to have made as the owner suggested, which included the pepper combination which was almost like a spicy relish. Let me just tell you, there is enough for 2 to have lunch off of this one sandwich, but I couldn't stop shoving it into my face! It was amazing! I will absolutely be having it again the next time this truck comes to my office! FANTASTIC! read more

Bro, "Methinks not." is a brutal understatement. I want to begin by saying I've never posted a distasteful review a day in my entire life. That ends today. My cries must be heard. I had never had, nor heard of, Jay's Chicago until today when the food truck was outside of my work. I brought my lunch, but there's a peculiar excitement that accompanies food trucks that I couldn't resist once I saw it. I picked the Italian Beef, as it comes, with a side of fries. As I got settled and opened the container, I noticed the entire bun is soaked. Not damp, not lightly coated by some residual liquid due to steam, but SOAKING FUCKING WET. I contemplated tossing it, but I thought I'd ask them just for shits n gigs. He informed me that the buns traditionally come DIPPED and we kind of just stared at each other for a moment. It was a short moment, albeit an intense one. His silence was due to waiting for my response, while my silence was attributed to sheer shock that a restaurant DIPS THEIR BUNS. THEY.DIP.THEIR.BREAD. THEY. DIP. THEIR. BREAD. Maybe it was my fault. Maybe I should have let them know I was eating for pleasure. I'm not battling Kobayshi to see who can eat more hotdogs.. I'm just trying to enjoy a fuckin sandwich. I'm from the south so maybe this is what y'all do in Chicago to your hotdogs/sandwich/subs but let me be extremely blunt. Dipping your bread in ANY liquid is HOT TRASH. This sandwich was HOT TRASH. The fries were hittin though. read more
