If you are an adventure traveler this is a must visit spot in Tiffin. The nostalgia of the building adds to the vintage homey feel of a road side iconic Americana. What can be more America than a hot dog? Not just any hot dog but a proprietary dog, one live I've never had before. I had a foot long with chili and onions and the dog was delicious, meaty and flavorful. The bun was a surprise, it was nothing short of perfection. And the chili was astounding! Just a hint of nutmeg or something along with just a hint of sweet and a hint of heat. I had a root beer and again it was another treat to this full blown American experience. Walk up to the counter and meet one of their friendly helpful workers who happily Shepards you through your order. I wish I was local because this would be my go to place of a hot dog or other roadside treats. Oh I did try the chips later in my hotel and I was slightly disappointed. They weren't bad but not the hot dog flavor I was expecting. Also, they were broken up pretty badly. I still say try them yourself. read more

Love the nostalgia of Jolly's! It's cheap and good coneys and root beer made in house. I had a regular chili hot dog. My husband and dad had sloppy joes. Very tasty. I'm glad we stopped in. Counter service and a small seating area. read more

Great little place to get the best hot dogs and root beer - friendly staff and quick service

Jolly's never disappoints. When I come back to Tiffin my visit isn't complete until I get a chicken sandwich and mug of root beer. So glad it is still there! read more

Great food!! I grew up in Tiffin, and we stop every time we visit! Our kids always want up to bring a gallon back to NC.

GOT SICK. And don't even think of going there in the afternoon, customers back up traffic on the street trying to get in making it dangerous for commuters. Looks like they found the only cheap building after moving their business and didn't care what it would do. A W F U L read more

The best root beer this side of the Rocky Mountains. A great selection of food and drink items. If you haven't tried this local establishment, you are missing out. read more

Usually I don't order potato salad somewhere else because I only like mine, but I always wondered about yours seeing it on your menu but was always hesitant. Well tonight with my sloppy Joe I had some and I have to say I'm glad I did. It really was quite good! read more

Home sweet home. Or at least it was for my moms family. Many a Day and Weekend trip was spent cruising the smooth country roads from Cleveland to Tiffin. We'd climb in the car and rock out to Majic 105.7 and cruise into Jolly's upon arrival. Hotdogs and root beer were our jam. The root beer is sweet and tastes like that delicious vanilla sassafras combo we all know and love. Carbonation is low and the flavor is big time. $1.75 for a Jolly's root beer float. Give me 2! Menu is simple and priced to sell. This place does not complicate it. I rocked the hot shredded chicken sandwich while my Aunt B had a chili dog. Whatever they are doing to that chili really makes it unique and stand out. Gotta try it. All of it. Right now. Wouldn't be shocked if the college kids started making their menu a timed challenge to conquer in one sitting. Do it!!! read more

I'm a huge fan of Jolly's Drive In and believe everyone should go here at least once in their life! They are an old school drive up restaurant, where you eat your food from the comfort of your car. Before I began eating here the girls wore roller skates now they just wear sneakers. They make a mean Hot chicken sandwich that has gotten a bit skimpy on the "meat" but is still very tasty and worth a try or two! They also serve Sloppy Jo's, Hot dogs and Foot Longs. They make an amazing Root beer that is second to none and I do mean none! It is the best you will ever drink!!! I highly recommend going just for the Root beer it is that good. They are only open in the summer since they are located in Ohio but I highly recommend you drive in if you are anywhere in the area. read more

Popped in here for a quick bite after the Cross Country Carnival. Excellent service, even better food. Plan to come back again next year.

Love the drive in and the pick up and the delicious chicken sandwiches. Easy to go into the drive-in. Get your order and leave.

Jolly's...this well known drive up root beer stand in Tiffin, Ohio has been around for many years. After hearing that it will soon be closing the drive up business as of August 20th, I figured I better get one last chili dog and root beer for old times sake. They have not only been making memories, but make some of the finest root beer you will ever taste. They make their root beer on premise and it is still served in the glass mugs. Their hot dogs are nothing special, but I do enjoy the coney sauce, mustard and onion toppings that somehow make up for the "OK" hot dog. My meal would not be complete without a bag of Ballreichs Chips. These are made locally and they just go together with the chili dog and cold root beer! What a trio!! It's sad to see businesses like this close, but for now I will hold on to the fond memories I've shared with my hubby on our visits there, along with the times we took our dogs, "Buddy" and "Alvin" who thoroughly enjoyed their dog treats they used to get when the car hop would bring them to the window of our car. Note, Jolly's root beer is served at a local restaurant on tap called "Wall Street Pub & Grill" and I hear they will have a downtown location opening in one of the old Tiffin Bake shops, still the same food and drink without the drive up service.

Just fantastic! Takes me back to being a kid, riding in the car with my dad, eating chili dogs. The food is simple classic drive-in fare, but the quality is impeccable. I recommend the hot chicken sandwich, footlong coney, or the sloppy joe mac-n-cheese! read more

RIP Jolly's!!! This location is responsible for many of my childhood memories; good ones, at that. Their food was never the best in town, but the feel of this car-hop style dining made the food only mildly important. They had standard fare for a drive up joint, meaning they had hot dogs, chicken sandwiches, roast beef, and local Ballreich potato chips. EVERYONE knows the real star of the menu was the house mixed A&W root beer. It was made on premesis, and had a Sweetser taste than your normal canned or bottled root beer. Watching the counter workers pour the beer from the draft always made your mouth water. There was nothing better than a hoy dog with mustard, a barbecue chip, and a large beer to wash it all down with. Many of my summer nights were spent at car shows here, chasing all the cute girls that worked as car hops. I'll miss this spot, but the memories are robust! read more

I grew up in Tiffin Ohio and move to California in 1980 and one of my favorite places as a teenager back in the 70s was getting a root beer. Every time I come to visit my family in Tiffin I always stop in and have a root beer. The best root beer that I've ever tasted read more

Great food for a great price! Try the homeade root beer. You'll want to pay attention to the drink sizes a large is pretty small if your really thirsty. I reccomend a half gallon of the root beer. Worst case scenario you'll have some to take home and share! read more

Dope hotdogs and tasty rootbeer. I love this place, its fun! Drive up, eat in your car and listen to music you love. This is the cool place to go in Tiffin, Oh! They should be open later. read more

Came here with a local friend because we were waiting for MST to cook our chickens and boy oh boy was I thankful. Best root beer I've ever had. Exceptionally creamy even without the ice cream to make it a float. My favorite part of the experience was the TV behind the counter was only the size of a computer screen and it didn't intimidate me. You never want to be intimidated by a TV in a root beer stand. That's my motto. Anyways, great root beer. 5 stars. read more

Best rootbeer EVER. And I love the car side service. Sweet girls and yummy footlongs! Definitely a prize of Tiffin.

Best root-beer EVER! Seriously, you have to take a gallon home. Affordable and amazing. Love the hot dog with the spicy cheese!

My wife would give 5 stars and agree with all the reviews. It must be a Seneca County thing, since I was 21 when I moved to town never really saw it as a "must have" place. Good root beer but the rest is good but not great. read more

I have been coming to this place since the 60's. I moved to Florida and when I come back for a week in the summer I go to Jolly's everyday. I always get the chicken sandwich and a root beer. I have never tasted anything better. This is an iconic place for Tiffin. read more

A true staple of my childhood. And the menu hasn't changed. Chicken sandwich and a frosty homemade root beer. And..... don't forget the Ballreich's Potato Chips. Yes, please. Shrub Love. read more

Great food. Used-to-be perfect root beer. The root beer is still amazing just not how it used to be. Not bad in price but if the prices go up anymore I would prefer to just grill some dogs at home. Usually great service and fast at that. If I wanted a place that would give me a good time I would go here. read more

I wouldn't be summer if I didn't stop here a couple times for a glass mug of root beer, dog with the works, and Tiffin's own Ballreich's chips (which are an institution themselves) . A fun way to enjoy a meal!! read more

Great chicken sandwiches, root beer, and dogs. I don't know what they do with their ketsup, but it's yummy!

Didn't have the root beer or chips. The hotdog and chicken was average at best. They have no public restrooms so be prepared to walk to the nearest fast food joint if you have need. read more

Love their chili dogs. Chicken sandwiches are pretty good too. They are quick and super nice. The root beer is a must try! I love it and I am not a root beer drinker at all. A must stop in Tiffin during the summer. read more
