Jaenicke's has been around for decades. It was a favorite for, my friends and I, when we were kids and teens in the 80s and 90s. Although I moved away almost 30 years ago when I am in town visiting family and friends, I stop by to get a red hot with the classic sauce and rootbeer float. Still delicious after all these years.

This had been one of my favorites since I was a kid! The food is simply delicious and always cooked to order, so hot and fresh! The Kankakee location is 1000x better than the Bourbonnais location. I'll always continue to be a loyal customer here!!
Tried their wing ding big surprise great. Also tried garlic fries would give 8 out of 10.

A Kankakee institution. I live in Chicago, but also partake in a couple red hots when I visit. Tasty. Affordable. Fun retro vibes. I wish they’d franchise.

Food is excellent at this location, too.I found out the Knakakee location is not related to ownership of the location in Bourbonnais.The food is excellent at Kankakee locations. I feel the chili sauce at this location tastes similar but not exactly the same as the Bourbonnais location. The chili sauce at Kanakee tastes a little sweeter.

Childhood memories. It still stands. One of the few safe places one can relax outside and get a blast from the past. The hot dogs and fries were delicious. The root beer was smooth and sweet w vanilla. Oh, how I miss the glass mugs. I miss the waitress coming to my car. This is not Jaenikes fault. They are just being safe and keeping the price down.I still had fun. I saw my sister's in my memories. They all worked there. It was the Kankakee I remember. Yes, it costs more today. Tell me what does not? You can't put a price on fun and memories. Just go and enjoy it. There's happy times waiting for you. *****Parking: Lots of parking spaces and picnic tables. You may see ghosts eating red hots. The friendly kind!
