First of all, I REALLY want to like JJ's. They have a great concept, a cool and clever menu, and a good atmosphere. They seem to be really involved in the community and use and sell a lot of local products (Local Beer, King of Pops, etc.) \n\nWe have been 3 times now, and really just find it to be sub-par for our expectations. We have tried various dogs and sandwiches. Most recently, we both had the \"signature dog\" with Chili, onions, beans, bacon, jalape\u00f1os and mustard. We found the Chili and beans to be lacking in any flavor whatsoever. The bun and hot dog were high quality, and the hot dog gave that nice \"snap\" when you bit in. Despite all of those delicious sounding ingredients, we found it to be a bit pedestrian. \n\n\nWe also split a side of onion rings, which were greasy and flavorless. We each took a bite and decided to throw the rest away. \n\nOverall, just disappointed.  I hope in time, JJ's becomes the Charlotte institution that it could be.
