Jimmy's Hot Dogs was originally located in Phillipsburg, NJ, just across the Delaware River from Easton. The same two guys have been serving up their scrumptious dogs since the 50's; I know because my dad used to walk across the bridge to Jimmy's with his parents as a kid, and later in life took us over for dogs when my brothers and I were young. Jimmy's moved to the shopping center in the 90's but it's still just as popular.
The steamed dogs are simple. You can get the dogs "with everything" (pickle, onion, mustard), or plain. The sides? Bags of chips, and there are sodas and milk in the cooler. The food is cheap and fast, less than a buck per hotdog.
There's nowhere to sit. Most people find benches in the shopping center or head to their cars, but it doesn't matter; the line is out the door every day. Every kid in the area grew up on Jimmy's dogs. A personal favorite combo is two plain with ketchup and a chocolate milk. I live in Boston now but whenever I'm home in PA I head to Jimmy's first thing.

"This is the entire inside of Jimmy's. The amenities, like the menu, is bare bones."

"With its strip mall location, the exterior certainly doesn't suggest Jimmy's is a Roadfood gem, although the long lines will grab your attention."
