Jacky's Hot Dogs

Love this little hood spot !
Awsome!
Brings back memories

One of my best friends since grammar school lived directly across the alley from Jacky's growing up and so we'd scrounge up change and sneak out every slumber party to snatch up a large, fabulously-salty sack of seance-friendly fries and split some all-beef dogs (forever on "special" ). Over the years this ritual evolved into playing quarters on her deck before heading out the back gate to grab some seriously late-night grub.  Their Gyros is top notch. If you ask, they'll be more than glad to toss it on the grill and get a good sear on it for ya. The shakes are insanely thick! Perfect for dipping fries in. (Don't knock it til ya try it.) The other night, I  swung by after an evening flight in from Midway and the culinary comfort came rushing back. Plenty has changed in the old neighborhood, but Jacky's, well, Jacky's will forever be a testament to my misspent youth and a Southside institution.... right down to the crimson swivel seats and strong presence by Chicago's Finest. The eats are tasty, service is mad quick and you just can't beat the prices for the quality. Who says you can't go home again?  :)

Gyro Platter - Can feed like 2-3 people. Will need to ask for extra pita and sauce. Yum!

Quick and cheap!
