CJINOHIO03 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) A friend was telling about it. If you have been there is it worth the drive? How are the prices etc?

TURBOED Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I grew up about 15 minutes from the Jungle. Awesome place for just about any ethnic or exotic food/beverage you could want. No idea if prices are good or bad (they certainly aren't a rip-off like whole foods), but the selection is beyond anywhere else I have seen. If you go, make sure you go to the restroom... you'll know why when you see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy82z Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 My parents live very close to it and we almost always go when we are down there. Its not because the prices are crazy low (they are probably pretty average) its that you can get things there that you cant find anywhere else...the beer and wine area is huge and while you are in that section, make sure you hit the restroom like TURBOED stated... When you are there, do yourself a favor and go on the otherside of the grocery store, there is a Rib Place called Rib City and that place rocks!! We hit that place EVERY time we are in Cinci.. Man..this thread is making me hungry..time to plan a trip... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think longer than 15 years ago, but yeah. Jim Bonaminio (sp?) is f'ing crazy. He pretty much just buys anything he thinks is cool, and finds a place for it... that includes the old monorail system from Kings Island.

Sully Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 A coworker was just telling me about this place the other day. I'm definitely marking my calendar for this event: http://www.junglejims.com/weekendoffire/about.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99FLHRCI Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Make sure you plan a good part of the day to spend there. It is somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 acres. It takes awhile to see all the cool stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutoFreak57 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I had never heard of it until recently. My girlfriend is from around there and we are going when we go to see her parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
