Jolly Nick’s is a small local restaurant in Downtown Dumont, NJ with a menu of deep fried hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken sandwiches and cheesesteaks. They have other deep fried treats like French Fries, Onion Rings and Mozzarella sticks.

The front of Jolly Nick’s at 31 East Madison Avenue

The inside is like a step back in the 1970’s and 80’s with classic chairs and tables and menu prices to match. The menu is so reasonable at a time when everything is getting so expensive. The owner keeps the prices with reach of his customers.

The menu is varied and very reasonable

What I love about the hot dogs here is that he deep fries them so they come out crackled and crisp. Then he puts them in a soft bun and you can choose from a variety of toppings

The hot dog and French Fries lunch special with a drink

I chose to keep it traditional and chose mustard and relish. It was loaded on top and I liked the combination of spicy and sweet in the taste.

Lunch was so good!

It was nice to sit back and talk to the owner while I was eating. He really loves what he is doing and the food he makes brings back a lot of memories of high school and summers.

On my last day of class at the college, I stopped in for lunch to try more of their delicious and very reasonable menu.

I was in the mood for a Cheeseburger with a side of Onion Rings and a Dr. Brown Black Cherry soda. It was the perfect meal at the end of the semester.

The Cheeseburger and Onion Rings

The burger was perfectly cooked and had a nice caramelized flavor to it. It was topped with lettuce, tomato and a pickle.

My burger and Onion Rings

The Onion Rings were perfectly fried and crisp and had nice slices of onion in every bite.

I really enjoyed my lunch out!

What I like about lunches here is they are reasonable, filling and well cooked. You can a nice meal for a fair price.
