    This place has the tastiest "Big Baby" in the city. I like to sit at the counter and eat it fresh off the grill, served in a basket with fresh fries. My son loves the 2 pizza puff special with fries......or the 3 hot dogs with fries special when he is super hungry. Plenty of parking in side lot and they are open late.

    yelp reviews never let us down and neither did Jacky's ! based on recommendations, we enjoyed the big baby , two loaded all beef hotdogs, the hottest freshest fries ever and a strawberry shake! nothing lacking in this fast friendly service where they are happy to ensure your order comes out just as requested. our well done fries were hot and crisp ! we decided to dine in at the small counter service overlooking the cooking area. everything looks clean and efficient. various workers were in and out and each asked how we enjoyed our meal, it was obvious they take pride in the product they produce. i didn't ask, but did not see restroom facilities??

    I have been coming here for the better part of 3 years and the food has never disappointed me. If you like the McDonald's fries then you will fall in love with these fries. Completely identical to them, aside from being cheaper and a much bigger quantity, they are crispy and much more fresher! The ambience of this establishment is great, eat at your own pace and you aren't rushed to get out unlike other small restaurants. The staff are very respectful and so are the customers that come through the door. Overall amazing experience every time I come here. HOWEVER, the one thing I absolutely don't like is the amount of people that don't come here. Such an amazing restaurant deserves more clients coming through the door during the early afternoon hours, it's never too early to eat a good burger!

    When my family asked where I wanted to eat on Father's Day, guess where we went? Jacky's of course!!!! Big Babies, well done fries, and orange drink all around!! Except my daughter. She doesn't do burgers, so it was a Pizza Puff, well done fries and an orange drink for her!! Rave reviews from all!!! Thank you Jacky's for a great Father's Day meal with the family.

    Hot dog with tasty toppings, no ketchup needed.

    What a hidden gem this place is. In the area for work and a bunch of the locals here kept telling…read moreme to try this place out. I'm so glad I did. I ended up going there for dinner two different times during the week. I was here. It's not a fancy place, but I'm not a fancy person lol, they have several different options of items to order. The variety is incredible. This is Home with the big baby burger and if you've never tried one order it and thank me later, I had that one night and then last night I had the gyro platter. Oh my God, the portions are huge ended up, taking it back to the hotel and snacking on it later it comes with fries and there were so much food. I never even got to them on the first round of eating it will be back every time I'm in town for work. Did I mention the prices are extremely cheap and the service was really fast. It's clean and quiet and theyve got a couple TVs but more can you ask for.

    Well originally I was craving for Portillos but since this whole week I've been working at Midway I…read morekept seeing this hole and below local restaurant.. This is my first time trying Nikki's and I was actually suprised at the Italian beef. It was not bland compared to Al's Beef or Portillo's but at the same time it was not too salty. I like that they use steak fries. Very chunky. As for the choice of a drink for the meal for $12.99 they had horchatas as well as Jamaican juice and mango or the regular soda fountain drinks. I would have given them four stars for my experience but after seeing that they don't have a bathroom to wash your hands. Service was ok. Ambience was like a hole in the wall or very local which is good. I would come back but next time would like to try their burgers or their barbecue rib tips. I do recommend for such food.

    ONE LAST NUGGET…read more Always double-check your bag from Wendy's, in case there's a surprise nuggie at the bottom. It didn't take long after starting my new job to find the nearest distributor of chocolate Frosties. I hit up this location in Garfield Ridge for lunch every other week and the experiences have been generally pleasant, even though once they forgot a straw and on a separate visit they gave me no sauce :( You're greeted with a quartet of self-order kiosks when you walk in, but you can still place an order with a human being. I like the counter area they have by the windows facing Archer Ave. No ketchup pumps, which makes me think their condiments are behind the counter under lock & key. I recently tried the ghost pepper ranch chicken sandwich ($11 for a combo) and to their credit, it was pretty damn hot. Halfway through eating, I started seeing little horizontal lines which made me wonder if I was hallucinating or just needed new contacts. I made ample use of their Coke freestyle machine, regardless. Saucy nuggs are great, you can get them standalone or as part of a 10pc combo ($10)--I recommend the spicy honey bbq, garlic parm, and buffalo. The $5 Biggie Bag is still the best deal in town, a Jr bacon cheese with fries, 4pc nuggets and drink for a crazy low price. * TL;DR * This is a solid Wendy's with a clean dining room and quick drive-thru. I've tried to avoid going out to lunch more than once a week, and when I do, I usually only drop $5.54 (the exact cost of a Biggie Bag + tax). You can find some nice deals online, like a free 10pc nuggets when you sign up for Wendy's rewards, or $2 off a premium combo. Tip: trying to turn left onto Archer is tricky, and though you could get lucky with the flow of cars, you're much better off exiting onto Laramie and using the traffic signal.
