I've only eaten here 1 time. My friend ordered Chili Cheese Fries. After she took a couple of bites she noticed the fries on the bottom were hard & not edible. I complained & they said they would make a fresh order. Well that was not the case they left the hard fries on the bottom and again only replaced the ones on the top of the order. Did they honestly think that we were not going to know that they didn't make us a fresh order? I may or may not be returning...
Been a repeat customer for over 40 years. One of my favorite summer go-to spots.
Parking: Old fashioned car hop style parking with an additional lot and tables to eat outside.

Jaenicke's has been around for decades. It was a favorite for, my friends and I, when we were kids and teens in the 80s and 90s. Although I moved away almost 30 years ago when I am in town visiting family and friends, I stop by to get a red hot with the classic sauce and rootbeer float. Still delicious after all these years.
