They don't try to do a million things just dog, brats, beef and fries good. It is not a giant establishment it is a good place to stop and grab lunch then head on your way. They do a proper Chicago style and they have a pretty good two dog deal if you want a bigger meal. Will be making it a regular stop when passing through on 47.

We had the hot dogs, fries, burgers, grilled chicken Cesar salad and Italian sausage with fountain drinks (refillable) With the exception of the Italian sausage, the food was a 5/5. The grilled chicken Cesar is amazing! Would drive back there just for it. The burgers were juicy and well put together. Their hot dogs traditionally served with crinkled hot fries with a cup of cheese.

Wow! This place REALLY surprised us…read more We were looking for something different from the usual burgers, pizza, and tacos routine after my girlfriend mentioned she'd been craving gyros. Naturally, I started searching for places nearby, and while there was no shortage of options, Nicky's immediately stood out. Their photos looked incredibly well presented, with gyro meat piled high and genuinely generous portions. When we arrived just before 7 PM, the parking lot was nearly full, and after our experience, I can absolutely see why. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They could tell it was our first visit and happily walked us through the menu, answering every question with genuine warmth and patience. The food itself was excellent. Everything came out piping hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The gyro meat was tender without being overly fatty or dry. The hand-cut fries were especially impressive, perfectly crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and seasoned just right. The onion rings and mozzarella sticks were equally well executed. The real showstopper, though, was the imported Greek baklava. I've had baklava from many different regions and styles over the years, and this was easily some of the best I've ever had. Rich, syrupy, incredibly flavorful, with a heavier note of cinnamon layered throughout that made it truly stand out. The menu is expansive, covering all the classic greasy spoon favorites you'd hope for, and the restaurant itself was clean, bright, and bustling with people clearly enjoying themselves. Near the end of our meal, the same staff member who helped us at the counter came by to check on us and ask if we needed anything else, which was a really nice touch. She also mentioned this is the original family-owned location, and honestly, that care and pride really shows. Overall, a fantastic first experience, and we're very glad we decided to stop in. We'll definitely be back soon to try more of the menu.

That being said, there must be some magic in the "Nick" name, 'cos this place is a top-notch Chicago-Greek Fast Food resto as well. It's a clean, inviting room, with a great menu. They're not re-inventing the wheel here, but they are spinning some fine stuff. Wife was a regular here when she was toiling for Attorneys in downtown Naperville, and always enjoyed their burgers. That streak was not broken on our recent visit. If there are Greeks on the premises, and Gyros is on the bill, I'm relatively assured of a good feed, and the Gyros sandwich here was spot on. Served with good crunchy fries, it hit the spot. I saw they had Spanakatiropita (Spinach-Cheese Pie) on the menu and had to try it. It, too was yummy. Surprised to find a snack-sized Greek Salad alongside the pie with a nosh of good Feta. Bonus! Naperville is a lot closer than Halsted Street! Throwing 4 for decent Bread & Circuses. A solid bet for a fine lunch/dinner. Eat here when you can!

While passing through the area my wife found this hidden local gem and it was well worth the stop…read more I am even thinking about going back tomorrow. We talked to the person there and found it was run by his family, and they do an exceptional job. My wife had the Liberty Cheesesteak with added onions while I had a combo Italian Beef/Italian Sausage sandwich - dipped with added onion, hot pepper and cheese. We also had a side of fries. Both sandwiches were big, which you would expect. The Philly had finely chopped steak with the peppers, onions and cheese all mixed in. My wife said it was fantastic. My combo was incredible. The beef was seasoned perfectly and was clearly not sitting all day in the au-jus (which when talking to the owner afterwards he confirmed was the case). You can always tell this because the meat had a nice texture and was not overly salty, but instead as I stated seasoned and cooked perfectly. Additionally, the fries were well cooked, crisp and hot. They take care to keep the oil fresh and clean, so the fries taste like fries instead of old dirty oil. As an added bonus he even treated my pup to a small dish of ice cream which she enjoyed on a hot day. Fortunately, we showed up a little after the lunch rush and was able to spend a few minutes talking about the business and baseball and our combined hate of the dreaded Dodgers. Even if I don't go back there tomorrow, it's definitely a must stop next time through the area.

I walked up to the window and a gentleman took my order. I decided to go for a hot dog with mustard, relish and onion (they apparently also offer ketchup and a special sauce) along with a can of coke. I took my order, snapped a picture of the truck so I could remember all of the relevant information and headed to my friends apartment to try this hot dog out. The hot dog I received came on a slightly dry regular non-poppy seed bun. The application of mustard was a bit heavy, but the relish and onions were well applied. The relish used was not the standard neon green Chicago style relish, as a result this relish was a tad more sour than most. The sausage itself was a skinless hot dog, and was well heated. This is my first food truck review, as I spot more food trucks I may do more. While the hot dog wasn't great by restaurant standards I didn't go in with high expectations. As a result I wasn't really disappointed. At only 1.99 for the hot dog, the price wasn't too bad. I can't say I'd recommend it, but if you like food trucks it would be worth stopping at. Perhaps I'll stop again and try the special sauce on a dog.
