  • I have long heard about Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati. It is a legendary grocery store, a supermarket of epic proportions to say the least. Come with me for a visit the newest Jungle Jim's in Cincinnati, Ohio. My short video won't do it justice, you'll have to visit for yourself. This place is quite spectactular!
    God bless you all!!!

    I go to the original Fairfield,Ohio location its just as amazing as the new Cincy location. I enjoy trying different wild game...antelope,rattlesnake,buffalo,kangaroo. You name it they got it.

    I work at this location. It’s a great place to work if you like meeting people from all over the world. The one if Fairfield is twice as busy as we are and they have more stuff but the Eastgate location is definitely one to visit at least once.

    Kinda sad you didn't go to the original one I've been going to since the 90s. I still live local and shop there. I've never been to the new one.

    This is comment #2 from me:
    The Montgomery Inn sauce is very famous. Montgomery is a very wealthy Cincinnati city. (neighborhood)
    On the bottle, it says to serve it warm. My homemade copy of the sauce recipe (from 1990 or so) says to drizzle lemon juice on the meat before cooking. I have the rub recipe also, its online; easy to find.
    Its a wonderful, sweet sauce.
    Cincinnati’s Grippo’s BBQ chips bbq seasoning is a hot, delicious rub if you use it with Montgomery Inn sauce. Grippo’s is about 100 years old. Jungle Jim’s in Fairfield carries bottles of the rub in their potato chips section; $6.00/bottle. Lots more than that online.

Jim would be walking around the store talking to us kids, I had a teacher he had🥰 Being 10 minutes away, I take for granted the ability to find any type of food from anywhere!
