When wanting a good hotdog, you got to try one of JJ's Red Hots. Husband had #1 Red Hot and I had the Char-Heel. (My favorite is the hey-hey fry but it's not on menu anymore).The sides are great too. I always get the Borracho beans and hubby gets their amazing onion rings. Love the "pickled" bar too.

On my most recent trip to Charlotte my friends brought me here to JJ's Red Hots for lunch. Not being a Charlotte native I had never heard of the place, however I was apparently in line at "One of the best hot dog joints on the planet" according to the signage inside.
As you walk through the line you'll see a large menu board with many options from Signature Hot Dogs to Build Your Own Hot Dogs. My menu solution was a signature dog called 'The Char Heel (Carolina Style)'. This dog came with house chili, slaw, onions and yellow mustard. On the side I had them fill the basket with Tater Tots. Another Hot Dog on the table was the 'Southern Girl' which comes with Pimento cheese, slaw, bacon and hot blonde mustard. The last entree was the 'Kasekreiner'. It's the monster of the bunch with Austrian beef & pork sausage stuffed with Emmentaler Cheese served with sauerkraut, pickled red onion & house made horseradish mustard. That just sounds like a 3 alarm fire. Both of the last entree's also came with house onion rings on the side.
I have to say that my meal here was totally filling. The whole thing was huge and ultimately a bit messy. I guess the best way to say it was the more you ate, the messier it became. However no complaints, it was delicious and I wish we had a place like JJ's up in Coastal Virginia. I'd love to come here again on a future Charlotte visit. Oh and by the way, JJ's is "One of the best hot dog joints on the planet". No doubt about it!
Great hot dogs !! Loved the Carolina dog with no mustard,,,,ask for the whole beef dog for no extra charge though,,,,great fries and onion rings !! My only advice would be to put less mustard on them :) thank you for the best dog around!
I heard about JJ’s on Triple D, so I knew I had to check it out. The shop has a nice vintage feel to it, and the staff was helpful and had a great attitude! The dog was great, the bun was fresh and not greasy, and the onion rings were nice and crispy. 10/10 would visit again!
If you like a good hot dog this is the place to go. They have all kinds of toppings. They also have great tasting onion rings.
Love JJ's Red Hots!! Great hotdogs with frequently changing weekly specials. Can't go wrong no matter which you choose!
Excellent food, great location, good beer selection. All at a friendly price. We go every week and cannot recommend enough.
Awesome service staff & delicious dogs yummm! A must try if you havent been😁🍴🍴🌭👍👍👌
Pricey. Several hot dog selections. Combos. Weekday specials on hot dogs. Sausage dogs available (acquired taste). Chicago style dogs are my favorite; the juices just burst in your mouth full of flavor and spice. The sweat tea is southern fresh. Fries are good. Bar area. Inside/outside seating (ceiling fan outside). Service was good. Establishment was clean. Polite and respectful staff. Wheelchair accessible.
1st time here and it's was great. I haven't had a hot dog this good since I was a kid living in Columbia going to Sandy's Hot Dogs (back in the 80's). It's hard to find a great Carolina Slaw Dog here in Charlotte and this place has got them! The onion rings & house made chips are great also!
