I had their root beer while in high school in 1955. Now I come twice a year from Carmi, Illinois to enjoy all of their goodies; always bring pints of the sauce home with me. So many great memories. Thanks for still being a part of my 88 year old life!!! God bless.
The customer service is outstanding! The food is made fresh and everything I’ve tried has been delicious. If you haven’t been there, what are you waiting for? You won’t be sorry.
I may be biased since I have been coming here since I was a kid, but I love Jaenicke’s. There really isn’t any place that hits quite the same for me even if it’s just some hot dogs. I live out of town now and every single time I’m back I have to stop by and make everyone I’m with get something too. If you’ve never been, what are you doing?
