I recently had the pleasure of dining at Jimmy Buff's in West Orange, New Jersey, and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience! The moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that feels like home. The star of the show, of course, is their famous Italian hot dogs. These are simply out of this world! The bread is perfectly soft, the sausage is cooked to perfection, and the toppings are fresh and flavorful. Each bite is a perfect blend of textures and tastes. The staff at Jimmy Buff's are incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure every customer feels welcome and satisfied. They really go above and beyond to ensure you have a great dining experience. The place is always clean, and the service is quick, which is a big plus when you're hungry and craving something delicious. Overall, Jimmy Buff's is a true gem in West Orange. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place is a must-visit. The food is consistently excellent, the service is top-notch, and the overall experience is one that leaves you wanting to come back again and again. I can't recommend Jimmy Buff's highly enough!

It was having an nostalgia going back home to a place that smell good and tastes good. Jimmy duff's is a old family business that everyone I know enjoy from the hot dogs to the sausage to the deep fried French fries, beautiful wax paper packaged And ready-to and-eat. I give it a 10 for being one of the best hotdog places in Jersey.

My wife and I drove from Southern Maryland to experience Jimmy Buff’s unique style of sandwiches. We saw a YouTube video and said “weekend trip”. My wife and I ordered the COMBO with hot dog and cheeseburger. The pita bread was soft and seasoned, the hot dog was equally flavorful and the stars were the potatoes and onions/peppers!!

I haven't had Jimmy Buff's in years since I moved away. I'm happy its still here. Hopefully it doesn't go anywhere. I ordered an italian cheeseburger. It wasn't your average italian cheeseburger like the chicken shack because the bread was different. But it was so good. The owner was there & so nice. Only think I would change is them allowing credit & debit card as payment. I know there's fees & stuff but it would be convenient for customers instead of having to order online while there.

Was greeted with a pleasant smile by cashier and cook. They gave me my extra mustard and ketchup, took the soda out of the refrigerator after my sandwich was prepared so it stayed cold. The serving was big. Lots of potatoes and onions and multicolored peppers with my hot dog. And it was not salty. As a heart and kidney patient I can still eat at Jimmy Buffs twice a week without getting salt saturated. I love ❤️ it!!!!

Decades of dominance in the hot dog world continues. It's hard to rate just the hot dog itself because it gets lost on the rest of the goodness. So with that said, Jimmy Buffs is definitely the Champion of the Italian Hot dog. I happend to go on a Throw Back Thursday and was able to score 2 for under $10. That's unheard of in 2024. I can't wait to go back for Scary Good Eats App segment.

Worst food ever, they literally put chicken fingers/tenders now in their chicken sandwich, horrible. The chicken tenders were tough and lacking flavor. You can tell they're trying to skimp on product but this is not the right move.

All bread. Tiny hotdogs. Flavor is bland. Potatoes need seasoning or salt. Not my preference for a hotdog. I don't recommend this type of hotdog. If I was Italian, I wouldn't claim it... lol.

They don't change their gloves , they take them off and lay them on the counter then put them back on , and the cook is opening up the refrigerator with his gloves on and take out food with the hand that has no glove on. And then I saw him take a piece of bell pepper off a sandwich with the hand that was not covered... No food safety training at all... The food danger zone is between 40°-140° bacteria can grow and the human body temp is 96°-98° Something to think about... Enjoy your Italian hotdog..... To your reply.... Wow..... I hope this is not a manager or owner who replied with a response like that..  Instead of trying to correct the problem. I know if I see this , another customers see it. too. It's bad enough you don't wear hair nets. I've been in the business for a while I just see things that others may not see. Just by your response if I was to come to your store for the first time and talke to the person who commented on my post there still wouldn't be a change on how you handle food. Just by your comment (trying to bring your business down ).  You worried about the business ratings instead of food safety, because unsanitary practices or a foodborne illness that a customer catches from one of the employees would shut down your business for good so you shouldn't be worried about someone trying to bring down your business ratings you doing that on your own by unsanitary conditions and food safety. Where is the food handlers certification is should be posted on the wall. I seen a tub full of potatoes in water uncovered just standing in back kitchen. How long that been out just sitting there. And you worried about ratings.... Run your business correct before someone call the health department.

I do not recommend staying to eat Order ahead and leave. It is located in a changing neighborhood. Plenty of parking. Clean, outdated tables and chairs. There is a family atmosphere with the staff. The food is prepared in front of you. I ordered a double hotdog. The bread was fabulous , I had it with onions and peppers, topped with potatoes. A fork is provided and is necessary to eat this deliciousness. I reminisced and ordered a Stewart's Root Beer. Tuesday and Thursday there are specials. A small staple establishment that has been around for years is definitely a place to experience. Senior citizen Approved
