Jim’s spaghetti sauce is simple (and good). If you go to their website, there are just two products: a quart of sauce and a pint. Nothing more. It’s clear they know a good thing when they have it. “They” being the family.
In 1938, Jim Tweel was encouraged by his new fiancée, Sally, to get a job if he wished to marry her. So, on June 9th, he purchased Kennedy Dairy Bar in Huntington, WV, where he sold nickel ice cream cones, ten cent hamburgers, and fifteen cent milkshakes. Six years later, he began serving spaghetti and rebranded the store as Jim’s Steak & Spaghetti House.
After eighty-two years in business, Jim’s is still in its original location and spaghetti remains their best seller. In 2019, the restaurant even received a prestigious America’s Classic Award from the James Beard Foundation.
