Jak'n Jil - Charlottesville

Took my 5yr old daughter...she loved sitting at the counter. The coconut cake was TDF! They don't take plastic so keep that in mind. We'd go again.

A throwback (in a good way) to a less-complicated small town life. Tasty chili dogs, fair prices, honest service. A basket of seasoned fries males a great side dish.

A Charlottesville institution since I went to UVA in the 80s. A must if you're in town. Try the foot long hot dog with chili onions. The Greek salad is also excellent. I would have given it 5 stars but they don't take credit cards. I had to use an expensive ATM to get the money I need it for my meal. Make sure you have cash with you. Some of the Charlottesville institutions have been closing down recently. E.g. Little John's. Support this iconic spot.

I tried this place on the recommendation of coworkers, as my family is from out of town. Let me say that I am so glad we did. The food was fresh and delicious, and the service was terrific and very attentive. I want to point out three things if you have never been before; 1. They only take cash, but they have an ATM in the building if you need it. 2. They serve their breakfast menu all day. 3. There's lots of parking on the side and at the back of the building :

Always stop by at least once when we visit Charlottesville! The burger is greasy, but so good! The fries with the seasoning salt are my favorite! If you like hot dogs, get the foot long. Not sure if I love this place for the memories or the food, but regardless I'll be back next year!
