Allen Ross the filmmaker lived right across the street when Jim’s was at Halsted and Maxwell. I remember going there around 2am with my cousin and friend one cold winter night. For some reason we didn’t get any napkins just wax paper. There was also a rumor that the sauteed onions were actually shredded cabbage. It seemed a lot more dangerous back in the day. Homeless men in wheelchairs roamed around and fires were lit in metal barrels to stay warm.
When I lived in Chicago, this place was a late night must have. Granted, I was in my 20's and out at the bars. Still better than Denny's, and I simply do not understand what a 5 hour window would curb crimewise if Jim's has security. 🤦♂️ I miss the food, but I'm glad I don't live there anymore.
is on campus at this point and is UIC that made them and other places as well. Is more to day with making that area around campus safe as well, if you know the area then you know the hood around UIC has gotten run down in the last 20 years.
@@randyreynolds4252 Yes, we all know the area has become overrun with criminal activity. It saddens me to no end, that my city, which was a beacon of the midwest, has turned into a kindergarten shooting range. Too many children being murdered by thugs. It has to stop... absolutely, disgusting.
@@randyreynolds4252 Bullshit, I went to UIC 85-87, nothing on Maxwell or Halsted but Jim's. It's become gentrified and UIC doesn't like the late night crowd it attracts. It's a hell of a lot safer now than when I was there. Damn, my car broke down on Roosevelt Road just off Halsted and a Chicago cop stopped, asked me what I was doing there and then told me this wasn't a good neighborhood for me. Hell, I knew that. The old Taylor street projects are gone, Chicago FBI headquarters there, State Police building; Hell of a lot safer!
UIC is notoriously erasing Chicago history, first the Maxwell street market which for decades was a Chicago tradition and now Jim’s? The people need to speak out before they decide to take the kitchen sink too.
Here is my question why are they still paying rent all these years they could have bought a building and left that location not making sense to me enjoy
This sum Bull🤬!!!!Good food..They took Ju town away now they stopping the hours of people eating ...That University blanked alot of stuff up!!Maxwells..Jimmy's the best💯😋...Chi-Town..The Wild 100's to the West Side K Town..Kostner..To the Burbs..Country Club Hills..My Family🤘
Aye Pat said at 3am when your are coming home from the bar……PATRIIIICK are you drink and driving?!?!? LMAO!! Then cleaned it up by saying Or Whatever…..too funny
There was a time when a white boys could drive downtown to white castle late at night, and be surrounded by soul brothers. But I don't see it happening. Chicago has the best food. I have to drive miles in Naples Florida to just get a beef. And only 2 places for a real dog. One time in an add there was a place that said it had Vienna hot dogs. We drove 30 miles only to find out they had them but fried them on a grill.
I was in River North at 3 am today. Still people walking around and many places opened. I said to myself if this city is so dangerous how come these people don't go home and hide! lol
That sux, i use 2 hit maxwell street, at 330/5 am. There was always a line. I e even went when it was on Maxwell in the 90s while in HS. I want 1 now, but don't feel lik3 driving there,and not getting a DUI
My favorite always been the pork chop with the bone sandwich, mustard, grilled onions and peppers. Left Chicago several years ago but I miss all the great food.
thats the problem with having spoiled yuppies living in the area., they complain if a bird gets too loud, now they dont want people driving at 4 am.....notice its the land lord not the police
theyve had so much safety in the north, near north and loop areas, for sooooooo long. when the crime was isolated in poor areas where poor POC lived, they were ok with it. now that crime has dropped in poorer areas, and spilled in "happy town", now they whine and want people to address crime🤣 i love how things always work themselves out NATURALLY?
lol and in 2012 some fool was like this ain't like it was in 94' lol same thing happened in 94'. I remember when the market got shut down and fools then was like but it ain't the same as before in that dirty ass open market full of roaches and rats. maybe you ain't the same or nostalgia is a lying bitch. just my thoughts
@@randyreynolds4252 u can’t compare the 90s Jim to the 2010s era all type of regulations they done to the meat and oil they use and what not, point is back in the day for me back in the day is 2012 lol shi was ridiculously good it was hydrated with rich buttery oil now it’s ass whipe
Used to enjoy Jim’s once a week when I was young. Now living in the NW Burbs where it’s safe and away from the animals. Portillo’s does an ok job on a Polish but it’s not Jim’s. But then again no chance on getting shot in the NW burbs.
It makes sense UIC got to protect they're students.. where was security when the girl got hit in the face wit a bottle? Just got to be on point up there cause everybody goes there 💯
The best thing that should be on every wise individual's list is Investing into different streams of income that don't depend on the government to bring in money especially now the pandemic is hitting the economy pretty hard.
Investing in Crypto and stocks is good but believe me crypto is better than stocks, investing in Crypto is actually the wisest thing to do now despite everything going on in the world
speaking of Bitcoin/ Crypto trading it's the best right now I know couple of friends who makes profit in the financial market, the best strategy to use in trading Bitcoin is to trade with a professional broker who understands the market like it's their own farm and makes maximum profit
Man man I remember driving from gary at 2 in da morning for those porkchop sandwiches 🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾
💯
I love Patrick's spirit!!🥰
We need more of this Patrick Elwood guy hes such a cool person 😂💯
The place offers security but the government is having none of it.

I especially remember fires lit in garbage cans w bums all around them keeping warm….
Wow that’s the spot in Chicago
It’s the Beginning of the End of an Era.🌭
I love that spot... Always gone in the morning
If you didn’t show up here drunk you didn’t live right lol
Bahahahahaha!!! Tell it!!!
Criminals ruin everything...as always
I guess no more jims for those criminals in the wee hours of the night when their doing their crime 😅
Everything woke turns to shit
We had to get rid of the mean tweets though.
Mfs Don’t Know About That Porkchop Sandwich 💪🏾 Gas! Lol
Double Pork Chop sandwich !!!!
Extra Mustard with a lil onions!
Mmmmm porrrrk
With a jalapeño 🤤
Only place to get a beef polish, car fresheners and a pair of socks at 3am

I love JEW TOWN polish.
The Best💯✶ ✶ ✶ ✶
If you're not going to punish the criminals then that leaves only the law abiding to suffer.
The city has lost its identity…..💔🌭
The last place I could by a sandwich anytime no my city anymore.
well at least its good for dieting, no more midnight snacks
They should resume opening 24 hours a day.
No! I love the never closes 24h places! Night owl
I love this place

I like that news reporter he look like the life of the party I know his early day’s he use to get wasted
Here is my question why are they still paying rent all these years they could have bought a building and left that location not making sense to me enjoy
It's always police out there. I feel the safest when getting a polish. So disappointed!
It's the fault of those dam dark joggers.
👏👏👏👏👏
I feel sorry for the drunk people who go at 2 am jus to realize they’re closed.
That's where the city meets up at night Chicago street food
They should invest in a food truck bus between 1 and 6 to keep the vibe alive ;) Landlord can not shut that down ;)
Lmao line around the street at 3 inna morning, especially on fridays and saturdays
If there's something I miss from Chicago is the Jim's polish sausage🙃, but my favorite is Jimmy's on Pulaski Rd, and Grand Avenue.
JEW TOWN Polish are the best lol but I hear you.
Jimmys type polish can be found anywhere in the city.
This sum Bull🤬!!!!Good food..They took Ju town away now they stopping the hours of people eating ...That University blanked alot of stuff up!!Maxwells..Jimmy's the best💯😋...Chi-Town..The Wild 100's to the West Side K Town..Kostner..To the Burbs..Country Club Hills..My Family🤘
It's all the white Supreme pizzas fault!
Lol stop it
Larrylightfoot has said it a number of times so has Joe
Just move build from ground up
Don't chance it with your life be safe
The end times are upon us for sure! Live now and grab a polish!
For sure
Heel no! No no I m leaving chicago

There is place in fort Lauderdale near the airport where they supposedly sell Chicago Vienna hot dogs and Chicago style polish sausages.
@@javier7717 There's one in Tampa also. I believe the name of it is "Mel's". He's from Chicago and sells the hot dogs, polishes, and beefs too.
There is a Portillo’s in Tampa now…
They have Italian beef in Naples, FL? @nielstern
@@CaesarEllish1 Your Mom Loves Beef In or Around Her Mouth
I don't mess with Chicago. I live in bmore and don't hang out late age 60
I was in River North at 3 am today. Still people walking around and many places opened. I said to myself if this city is so dangerous how come these people don't go home and hide! lol
The McDonald's on Clark had a long as line, at 3am
Patrick is the man 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼😂

It's a tragedy that a man cannot serve his sausage whenever he wants to
Love it there
Bad Ideal... Resume 24 Hrs Customer Service ASAP. When I Come Home on Vacation I Love Jim's at 2:am Fridays or Saturdays Night.
Yo where is this at ? I used to go here with my big cuz he passed away like 5 yrs ago
Maxwell Street, just off I-90 and Roosevelt
They used to shoot so much by Jim’s when I went to UIC.
They ARE USING COATED FRIES NOW, NO LONGER Hand cut( MACHINE CHOPPER)it is NOT RIGHT.
❤
My favorite always been the pork chop with the bone sandwich, mustard, grilled onions and peppers. Left Chicago several years ago but I miss all the great food.
is the pork chop sandwich got a bone? is not just meat?
i mean you have to eat it with bone in the meat?
They wore they good clothes lol
What about the other maxwell spot next door to it??
Some of these people look like they have eat there way too many times.
Um um must let it stay open 24-7 Chicago Classic place still coming no matter what
They been in business all these years and don't own their building?
COOL
I want one
That’s where fights pop off all the maxwells around the city I saw the girl fight on Facebook May years ago . The Maxwells on State st
uic didnt want the liability issues. security has been known to toss mofukkrs damn near onto the expressway
Noooooooo not fair. Not fair at all
Address please
your Mayor is doing great LOL
Just went at 330 am last night 😋😋😋
Major Lightweight will take care of this problem, right?
Dang that will be a bill of their business rush
how dafuq does your landlord get to set your buisness hours
probably crime will go up if they close in the night
thats the problem with having spoiled yuppies living in the area., they complain if a bird gets too loud, now they dont want people driving at 4 am.....notice its the land lord not the police
👍
Crime? Chicago?
C’mon man, no way, Lol.
Punk ass landlord. I hope they buy the building. For being open that long I would have thought they owned it by now.
See wat happens when black QUEENS seeds roam the earth
Black QUEENs
I beg you 🙏
Stop having babies PLEASE!!!!!!
That’s where they had all them girl fights there
I thought "Maxwell street polish sausage" was invented by Portillo's? lol
Where will the Bbws go eat at now?
Your Mammys kitchen
😂😂😂😂

Sad news 🤬
but where are all the mug shot photos in future news stories supposed eat they grissle sammiches? yawl races, joe, ah sware!
Thats BS. It was far more dangerous in the old days. The school needs to reconsider.
So sad!! City going to crap. Man loved going here you could always depend on it being open no matter what time
$10.00 a hot dog now?
Inflation devalues the dollar. You brought in 80 million mexicans who will work for less, the dollar shrinks and property values rise.
@@BiancaZombie I didn't bring them in. Give my regards to Mick
assuming theirs three people on shift at all times, thats 105hrs/week of jobs that no longer exist.
yea thats a great way to reduce crime right there
At 3 am doing whatever? 🤔
It doesn’t taste good anymore either way lol ifykyk cuz back in 2012 it had a crisp to it today it’s dry 💩 shit !

What a crying shame!
It’s become a hangout for gangs.
Not really. I go all the time, people just want food.
More like panhandlers.
Great..thanks,..now the criminals will hafta get an earlier start to the crime and shooting..
Watch out btwn 10-1
