Felt like going on a drive to somewhere I hadn't been yet in the Atlanta area. Jacobs was a pretty lengthy drive, but the photos and ratings looked very tempting. It may not look like much, being that it's just a small little building with a drive-thru lane around it, but it really is a gem. Don't pass it up if you're in the area. Well worth the drive. The drinks were delicious, the food was as well, and the service was next level. I definitely intend to come back.

The owner is so nice. The food is awesome, best Italian Beef. Everything is made to order so it will take some time for your order or call ahead.

Still 5 stars and updating due to reviewer faux pas! Must use correct vernacular when describing the sandwich I had the pleasure or re-encountering last week. The Italian Beef, erroneously called cheesesteak previously, was well seasoned per usual. Opted for pepper concoction on the side for my to go order, and enhanced the flavor when added later. The owner was pleasant as usual, and even stayed open later to accommodate my order. He also obliged a regular's request after noticing establishment still open. He did not rush us, and was pleasant as usual. Always a welcomed treat when in vicinity!

Everything is excellent. Marq Jacob (owner) has put a lot of time into making his own blend that's incredibly dynamic, plus the Chicago dogs make you feel like you're on riding through Chi city on a water taxi in July. You can tell he is very passionate about what he does will be back

Hidden gem! We drove by this place and decided to check it out. It has a really nice patio and a good selection of coffees and chicago dogs! The patio has corn hole and a fire pit! Definitely a good place to go to relax and enjoy a pick me up and snack!

Finally stopped by today after hearing so many great things. I'm obsessed - really missed my Illinois Italian beef. It might have been the best one I've ever had. Owner is amazing - so kind, friendly, and meticulous. Great to sit out on the little deck

Wonderful coffee, great hot dogs, please support the small business. Don't line up at the Starbucks...let Jacob's start your day...

This is a neighborhood gem. We've been passing by this place for a while now while walking our dogs and finally decided to stop for some coffee and hotdogs. The place is super small but has a cute outdoor seating area with plenty of seating. Perfect to hang out with dogs and kids. They even have a cornhole to keep you entertained while waiting on your food. It gives you a brewery vibes. One of best Chicago hotdogs in the area! But we also noticed they had a Taco Tuesday special 4 for $10 , I will have to try it out next time. I can see myself coming here regularly!

A great place! Coffee, coffee drinks, smoothies and hot dogs! And what a pleasant guy manning the window! We'll come back when we're back in the area!

We got 2 Chicago hot dogs (one of them as a combo so came with chips and a canned soda), 1 Italian beef sandwich, and 4 tacos (4 for $10). Chicago dogs: great snap, soft poppy seed bun, everything that's supposed to be on a Chicago dog placed neatly. Very good. I think if you're pretty hungry, you might need to get two just for yourself. Italian beef: WOW. A lot of meat, refreshing and spicy giardiniera. So moist. Very good. Good size. Tacos: Pulled chicken and raw onions on a handmade tortilla with slices of lime and green salsa. Also, really good. The owner of the establishment is very friendly and you can tell they put a lot of attention/dedication into their food. Not sure if there's indoor seating. There is plenty of outdoor seating but it was raining today so we just went through drive thru. Would definitely recommend this hidden gem. Located in a parking structure but near one of the exits of the parking structure. Next to the cleaners.

I'm new to the area and I am unashamedly a polish dog addict. There are a few other places within an hour of here that sell the specific Vienna brand polish dogs that Jacobs has, and the other places do ok (3-4 stars depending on the day) but Jacobs totally nails it ever time I have been. It's all about the prep, and they do it perfect here. The dog is served pipping hot, and it has a great snap when you bite into it- so not overcooked, as so many dogs you get. Then the poppy seed bun is warmed and actually hot to the touch- but not soggy or dry, as is usually the case when a bun has to get warmed fast. They also have a nice selection of toppings, I only get raw onion and mustard because that's my preference and honestly it's makes a perfect polish dog. My only complaint is it's not closer. I'm telling you, they do it right.

This place is FANTASTIC! I just flew in from Chicago and heard about this place. The owner/chef/manager I super nice and said everything on the menu was good. Well, he was 100% right! We had a Chicago hot dog, Polish sausage and Italian beef. All were delicious and authentic Chicago food. Will definitely be back for the food AND the coffee!
