The ambience and the…read moreinteriors are still a little meh, and yes, the wait time is what it is....but the food is so amazing, it's all worth it. It's hot, it's fresh, it's delicious, and it STILL tastes scrumptious! This place still fills up like crazy come lunch time... Definitely give it a try. And if you're getting the Broast, you have to eat some right there, dine in, and then take some home. Because if you're taking it to-go to eat at home or out, the smell will drive you insane and you will burn your fingers trying to eat some. Again, cannot recommend this place enough for its food...and the service is top notch, always with a smile!

I said ok let's go by your steps (as I pointed to the posted menu). Step 1. Double or Single I said Single Step 2. If cheese what type. I said cheddar Step (?) She asked if that is a butter burger? I said I do not know I am just following the steps on your sign. She asked again is that a butter burger I said again I do not know, it does not say on your sign. Someone came over to try to salvage the situation. He asked what did I order, I said let's ask her. Some other guy said she is in training. I said great we can all learn together. I asked her what was the first thing I said, she said cheese burger. I said no, that is not what step one asks. Again I asked her, what did I say for step one... Cheese Burger she says... Nope that is not step one. I said what does it say for step 1? I said "Double or Single", I wanted a single. The second person that stepped in to help said let's start over. I said never mind forget it & walked out. Last week I was in there and asked for double onion and double lettuce, once I got past steps 1 & 2. I got the burger and there was NO lettuce!!!! So I was going to ask for it again but do not put the burger together, I want to see it lined up on the try before I take the order. But did not make it that far.

I was the only person in the restaurant and still waited over 15 minutes for a simple burger and drink. The floors were incredibly sticky throughout the dining area, which was gross.

The most off-putting part was the atmosphere; the employees were openly cussing and criticizing other customers within earshot of the lobby. It's a shame the service and cleanliness are so subpar because the kitchen is actually doing a good job with the food. I won't be rushing back to this location.

My only complaint was the stupid people who thought revving their suped up cars and motorcycles in front of the place was the height of entertainment.

The Coney Island cheese dog was also perfect. Usually I pull off pieces of bun when I have chili dogs because it's just too much bread and too dry. Not so with this hot dog. Just the right blend of soft, squishy bread, dog, and toppings. Gotta give a shout-out to the friendly staff, too. Best 13 bucks I've spent in a long time.

THIS IS OUR NEW FAVORITE PLACE!! We have been coming here for a couple months and we love the food and the staff is so friendly. some of our favorites are the ribs, Greek, chicken with rice pilaf ,Italian sausage and beef combo, Chicago style hot dog, the gyro platter, the cream of chicken rice soup and we love the baklava dessert oh and we had the brownie milkshake today so yummy!! This establishment also gives back to the community. For example they had one today Gyros for Aurora heroes. 50% off gyro meals for police, firefighters, EMT, doctors and nurses. I thought that was so nice of them to honor and show appreciation for all they do. this place is a must to visit. Highly recommend!! read more

The food here is exceptional! I have never had a better gyro in this area before. The chicken sandwiches and burgers are spectacular. The chicken is so delicious and tender, and you can't beat those juicy burgers. Also, don't get me started on those Greek fries with the feta, oregano, gyro meat and lemon. TO DIE FOR!

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!

As for the food, it was served very hot. Good job there. The Philly cheesesteak was delicious. Not a huge amount of steak on the sandwich. (See pictures, and note how little steak there was compared to the chicken sandwich.). The fries were good. The Buffalo chicken cheesesteak was unbelievably greasy and salty. The chicken itself was cooked perfectly, and there was a generous amount of chicken, cheese, mushrooms, and onions. That being said, it was literally dripping in sauce, which was 95% grease, 5% flavor. I would definitely not order this sandwich again. On a side note, we received a text asking us to complete an online survey. I took the time to do so, and when I hit submit, it asked for THE code they sent us. They did not send us a code, so I could not submit the comment I took the time to write. This place needs to get their act together.
