Jack's Hot Dog Stand

I was thrilled to find such a unique and comforting place to get delicious, affordable food, being that I'm not from the area but wanted some lunch. I got hot dogs, and fried pickles, and they were hot and delicious. I returned for more a few days later and I plan on returning again whenever possible.

We came into town to see the fall colors and found Jack's on Yelp. Decided to swing by after checking it out there and on trip advisor. The place is totally a hole in the wall (and the bathroom for sure is!) but you go here to get some great tasting, cheap food prepared by hard working, hustling humans. The prices couldn't be beat - $2.60 for chili cheese fries? A pulled pork sandwhich for $3.00? A double double cheeseburger for $3.50? Me, the wife, our 6 year old and our 10 month old all feasted for $25. We got the meal to go ($25 for all of the above plus a hotdog, hamburger, fries, popcorn chicken, and onion rings and mac n cheese) since there was no indoor seating and a limited amount of outdoor seating and took it to nearby (1.5 miles away) Historic Valley Park where there was a lake view and plenty of picnic tables plus a playground for the kid. Almost everything was great. Chili cheese fries were delicious and quickly consumed, onion rings were crispy and perfectly cooked, pulled pork didn't skimp on the pork and came topped with an onion ring. The double double cheeseburger was like In-N-Out but better. Everything else was good - only downsides (minor) were the plain fries had been in the frier a little too long and were dark, and the hot dog was tiny. Fries were excusable as they were slammed the entire time I was there with multiple walk ins, delivery orders and take out orders. I was prepared to the small dog (and you should be also, order two or more). Definitely give them a shot if you're passing through (if you're a local, it's already probably part of your routine!) - your stomach and your wallet will thank you.

This is truly a hidden gem. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly & professional and the atmosphere is warm. Everything we ordered here was delicious and served swiftly. We enjoyed the hotdogs, the pizza wraps and especially the fried pickles. The pickles were especially done right, I highly recommend them. I am looking forward to going back again soon!

It wouldn’t be a trip to North Adams without hitting up Jack’s! The best hotdogs I’ve ever had. I always get the chili cheese dogs and cheese fries. There’s a reason this place has been in business so long. The food is just so satisfying and you can tell it’s homemade.

Great little stop right off rt 2 easy parking and you can't beat the prices

Simple, delicious, not even remotely pretentious. Super friendly staff and straightforward comfort food (real cheezwiz!) Small spot but if you can get a spot at the counter it's got quite the nostalgic feel.

Even if hot dogs aren't your thing, go anyway, they have burgers and the fries are hand cut daily and come out hot, golden brown, and crispy with a soft center. Is it the best food ever, no. But the food is very good and being at a place that has served food since 1917 just makes it a place to visit. Plus Eagle street where it is located brings back memories of years gone by. No wonder Norman Rockwell lived and worked in the Berkshires. A little nostalgia is not a bad thing.

If you go to North Adams and don't go to Jack's Hot Dogs, you are seriously not living life. You will not get better fresh, homemade food for beyond reasonable prices like you will here. When I was a local, I was here daily, sometimes twice a day! Now that I moved a few towns away, I take every chance I can get to go there and after eating here for over 30 years, I still can't get enough. The owner Jeff and his employees are always on top of their game and friendly, there's a reason they've been here for over 100 years!
