“George at Jeremiah’s does an amazing job for his age, and you can tell he really cares about doing things right. He’s got that kind of personality that makes people notice him right away—he’s funny, confident, and has a vibe that stands out, which makes the whole experience more enjoyable. Even though he’s younger, he already shows the kind of presence that makes customers feel welcome.

On top of that, George’s service is genuinely impressive. He’s quick, polite, and always makes sure everything is handled perfectly, which is why I’d call his service a 10/10 without hesitation. Jeremiah’s is lucky to have someone with his energy and work ethic on their team, and it’s clear he’s going to keep making a great impression on everyone who stops by.“

“I went there twice recently. Both times, the employees were very friendly, attentive and helpful. My ice cream was delicious! I got a waffle bowl because they make them in the store. It seemed to be a little stale. Also, I went around 8pm both times and it was still daylight. However, they had the barstools stacked which made it seem like they were closing. For the past several years I haven’t had good experiences here, but it definitely has improved! I would absolutely recommend them for ice cream!“

“Such a good hot dog! I love the fried bratwurst, the skin has just the perfect amount of snap to it. I get mine with just mustard and chili but the menu has so many options.
The thing that always strikes me is that the owners and employees always thank you for coming in and I truly feel like they mean it. You could make a cheaper hot dog at home, for sure, but they really want to give you good food at a reasonable price and they want you to know they appreciate you giving them your business.“

“We showed up unaware that it was 1 minute before closing due to the place being full of customers. The GM said with a smile, he would be more than happy to take our orders. After ordering, the employees began moving like a well practiced team. They were supporting eachother in every way to ensure the correctness and promptness of our order. The Gm engaged my wife and I in conversation as he began cleaning and rearranging the service counter with information on other locations as well as the companies history. In a few brief moments he was directing us to the pick up counter where we were greeted by another smiling team member helping us to pick condiments and suggestions of the favorites. It was an overall outstanding first visit to this professional, polite, fast, clean and curteous restaraunt. Once home, the food was equal to the service we recieved at the Seymour Freddies, fresh and full of flavor! Thank you staff for a great and memorable experience. Highly reccomended!“
