There’s no place like home! While it’s fun to try new places and eat new dishes, sometimes we crave the taste of delicious comfort food without the fuss. The kind that takes us back to our childhood when life seemed a lot less complicated and our biggest challenge was figuring out what flavor of ice cream we wanted most. JK’s Restaurant, “Home of the Original Texas Hot Weiners” still serves the feelings of home that our inner child craves.

From the outside, JK's Restaurant looks like any other family diner. The casual atmosphere and friendly service are what make this restaurant so comforting. Whenever you come back for a visit it's like you're visiting an old childhood friend.

Originally named Original Texas Hot Weiners by Peter and George Kuokos in 1924, JK's has always been the place to get good food without breaking the budget. In the 1930s, you could spend a quarter to warm your stomach up with two weiners and a hot cup of coffee.

These days you can still enjoy the taste of those famous weiners at JK's Restaurant with its yummy sauce. For a few cents extra, you can add your favorite extra toppings, such as cheese, jalapeno, cole slaw, bacon, and, of course, chili.
