In case you haven’t heard, with our recent menu change, BOTH Jimmy’s Famous locations are now 100% SEED OIL FREE! 🙌
That’s right. No seed oils in our kitchens. Period.
We’re using beef tallow for our fries, wings, and fried favorites. We’re using olive oil for our house-made dressings.
This is a BIG move for Jimmy’s Famous and another step in our commitment to serving great food made with quality ingredients, without compromising the flavors you know and love.
