The chili cheese dog was small and served lukewarm. The patty melt had a pleasant aroma from the well-toasted rye bread, but the patty felt undersized for the bread and didn’t really stand out. I also ordered a large chili cheese fries, though the portion appeared quite small and was difficult to distinguish from a regular size. The receipt was not provided; however, the pickup number from the receipt was still called. Otherwise, the service was satisfactory. Overall, the portions did not align with expectations, and I don’t see myself returning.

My first time at this location. It is clean, the staff were friendly, and the service is fast. I had the new Tommy’s triple special that comes with three chili dogs, tots and a drink. They had a football game on the tvs and there were a lots of people coming in for a quick bite to eat. The food was great I enjoyed the game and the only thing missing was an ice-cream cone. But I had enough to eat and I was working so maybe next time.

Fewer locations but still worth the drive. Caught the July 31st Coney Sale. Place was packed, huge lines both inside and in the drive thru. We went in, took about 5 minutes in line before ordering. Sign said up to 20 minute wait but we had our 8 coneys and order of tator tots in about 7 minutes. The coney’s are delicious and the prices was right. Enjoy & Bon Appetit!!

Love this place! Haven’t had since moving from Houston. Yummy hot dogs but my fav is the Frito pie. My favorite location was downtown, but it’s closed. Not healthy but won’t hurt once in while to have something this good.

I come here once or twice a month. They’re one of the last ones around. Their food is still good but now that Portillo’s is here in Houston, I no longer need to come here to get my Chicago dogs.

When it come to a Chicago dog you have to be consistent. The celery salt can’t over power the hotdogs. (see the picture) Again, they’re good but not consistent. Try them first for yourself to have your own mind but I’m now going to Portillo’s after today. I mean having poured what felt like all this celery salt they had on my dog today was the last straw. This is $15… $4 more dollars and I’m at Pappas. No good.

My blood pressure is humming and I hate that because it’s a good spot just inconsistent and sometimes they start speaking Spanish as if to joke about the specific details in your order amongst each other.

I’m sad that most of JCI locations closed down. I love their hotdogs and chill. My favorite is the Baja dog along with their Fritos pie. It’s so good and then drizzle with their hot sauce too.

I grew up in Houston eating at James Coney Island downtown on Walker St.
There, you would order a hot dog “all the way” including cheese with the chili sauce overflowing out of the bun; with a tablespoon portion of finely chopped onions.
The hot dog meat was a normal size like you would buy in the grocery store (similar to an Oscar Meyer brand hot dog). Plump and juicy.
Over the years, James Coney Island has reduced their meat portion in size (diameter) where there is barely even a “hot dog” in the bun. It is similar to a Slim Jim sausage stick.
When I received my Chili Cheese Coney with onions, I was surprised how small the chili sauce and onion portion was on the bun.
They get by with as little product as possible.
When I requested addtional chili sauce on my hot dog, the reply I received was “there will be an additional charge.”
Seriously?
Look at this once famous hot dog today.
This is an embarrassing product Legacy is putting out there.
It’s drier than a West Texas dust storm.

I came here today after work since it is close by my job and was very disappointed, I came home to find my order completely wrong. And I understand humans make mistakes, no big deal, but it was the managers response when I called that was upsetting. He tells me I should have checked my order and that I would have to come back tonight to have my food remade or refunded or nothing could be done. After explaining to him that I live over 30 minutes away from this location he again reiterated that I should’ve checked the order and that nothing could be done also stating I should have read “The big sign” and checked my order. I will not be returning here again.

This is a treat for my toddler for onion rings and corn dogs.

I had a cup of chili and chili dog and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was.

My only reason for deducting a star is because the salt and pepper shakers were sticky and so was the edge (grooved sides) on the tables on multiple tables.

It was busy though.

Long time JCI fan, grew up eating JCI since the 2 story Sharpstown location. Food was great service was good but the restaurants customer dining area was absolutely FILTHY. Every table, nearly every seat and every booth trashed, either hardly wiped with chili and grime still on the tables and many chairs just sticky, stained and trashed. We had a hard time finding anywhere clean to sit and eat. Even the tile walls have soda and chili stains splashed on them. Floors haven’t been scrubbed or cleaned in who knows how long.

There’s an old saying in restaurants I learned a long time ago: If the dining room is dirty, then the kitchen and food prep areas are even worse. Trust me when I say it’s best to avoid this location and eat somewhere cleaner.

Unfortunately, I won’t be eating at this JCI location again for a long time. 2 stars for good food, at a dirty table.
