    Burnt bun, hard puck of chicken. Tastes as gross as it looks.
    Leanne E.

    Cannot believe that THIS is supposed to be a breaded chicken sandwich? A breaded triangle of processed chicken . Disgusting. Like a gas station chicken sandwich. Microwaved, hard and gross.

    Kojak Drive-In is a small diner located off of 79th street in Burbank. There's a few tables set up on the inside and a long counter to order. While not particularly clean, it's not too messy on the inside. It's more or less a fairly typical older Chicago-style fast food eatery. In visiting Kojak's I decided to try the hot dog, though I had a serious temptation to try their Big baby cheeseburger. In any event I'll go over the hot dog. The hot dog I received came on a regular non-poppy seed bun. The pickle on the hot dog was thicker than I would like. There was only one slice of tomato covering roughly half the hot dog. There were no hot peppers on the dog. the application of mustard and relish was a bit heavy. The sausage itself was skinless but didn't taste very good, it either wasn't properly heated or wasn't a particularly good brand. I couldn't easily identify the vendor of the dog itself. There were also fries with this hot dog. They were fairly decent tasting though a bit greasy. On this particular trip of hot dog places I had a friend with me who felt whatever grease they cooked it in had a strange taste. I noticed an aftertaste from the fries but nothing that was an unpleasant flavor. Overall, this was a poor quality hot dog. The frank itself wasn't good tasting, it was assembled rather sloppily and just didn't taste good. The fries didn't do it any favor. If I weren't going to do hot dog reviews I would have tried the big baby. Maybe some day I will. But overall I'm going to give this one star and recommend avoiding the hot dogs.

    Oh my god so delicious

    For the quality of the food, it's highly over priced. If you're hungry, I guess it's edible. More like Nojacks

    Orders were not quite right a couple times. Inside is gross. Staff isn't friendly. Time for a makeover.

    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.

    This is one of those, "IYKYK" kinds of places. Absolutely stellar Italian Deli, tucked away in an…read moreeasy to reach corner of Polk County. Perfect menu, ridiculously large and well made deli sandwiches and a store full of Italian food staples and bakery items! Couple of minor downsides to be aware of - no indoor seating and somewhat limited outdoor / shaded area. Also, I had The Roc sandwich, wasn't cut all through and the crappy plastic knife broke while trying to slice. Great problem to have, the sandwiches are pretty large but pretty basic to give you a good cut. In fact, in reviewing my pics the cutting procedure took so much focus after unwrapping my sandwich, I quit taking pics! Haha All minor stuff, this is a great spot for lunch... highly recommend!
