    The place to be!
    John S.

    I highly recommend this place for their exemplary service and food! Jimmy and Chris and Luis are top notch staff! They know how to communicate and treat customers with the utmost respect and always helpful! Two thumbs up!

    Gyro
    Mark Y.

    Clean but older building with a tight parking lot. Extremely friendly people, greeting everyone as they enter and saying goodbye as they leave. Typical menu with burgers, dogs, gyros, Italian Beef, etc. They have an indoor smoker, I'd love to try their ribs someday. Good prices. My gyro was good, piled high and falling off the pita. They even gave me an extra sauce. Five stars, helped in part by their friendliness.

    Italian Beef Sandwich / Gyros sandwich
    Ernie H.

    Probably the best Italian beef I've had. You can tell just by looking at the beef that it's soft, tender, freshly sliced. The same goes for the gyro it's not overcooked. It's also not swimming in that tzatziki sauce. You can just taste the honesty of the meats. Plus the old I'm assuming Greek guys running the show all came out of central casting.

    So delicious!! Exactly what you want for gyros, but they also have plenty of other options of genuine Chicago style foods. The staff were all friendly and it wasn't a long wait. It's definitely vintage diner style and there was plenty of seating. I'd recommend this place to anyone going there!

    Lunch!!!!
    Bill S.

    Hands down Nick's has the best gyros I have ever had...this includes some memories of hitting Greektown back in the late 80's early 90's. The portions are spot on, the platter with an extra pita is enough for 2 people to share or...not! I don't work in the area much anymore but anytime I need to go back I stop in for lunch at Nick's. Do your tastebuds a flavor and swing on by and get a gyro sammich.

    Pizza Puff

    A ChiTown Flavor snappin at Nick's Drive-In! I have to say, my taste buds went on a trip to Flavor Town at Nick's Drive-In in Niles, IL! This hidden gem truly serves up some scrumptious Chicago-style grub that'll leave you craving for more! We indulged ourselves in their mouth-watering menu: 2 gyro sandwiches , a classic chili dog , a warm and crispy pizza puff , and some golden, crispy fries . Talk about a feast for the senses! We barely had time to marvel at the retro vibe of this drive-in, when, BOOM , in just about two minutes, our order was ready! That's what I call efficiency! The staff? Oh, they were the cherry on top ! Super friendly and nice, making us feel right at home! And, oh, the pizza puff! I haven't had one in years - they're practically extinct in Rhode Island! So biting into that warm, cheesy goodness really took me on a nostalgia trip! In conclusion, if you're craving a delicious, Chicago-style bite and friendly service, Nick's Drive-In is THE place to go! P.S. Dear Nick's Drive-In, any chance of opening a branch in Rhode Island?

    A perfect stop to get a bite and be able to walk in with a mask and order lunch to carry out. A bike ride sure does get your appetite going. Nice idea to have delivery options and a beyond burger advertised in the window for veggies. Whole chicken and Greek salad

    One thing is for sure: a return visit is in the cards within a couple weeks. As soon as the soda…read moremachine (for the water cups!) is installed, and the Hot Chicken Shawarma Wrap makes a comeback. In the meantime, I ordered a Hot Chick (medium heat), with a side of fries, some extra pickles, and the garlic sauce to make my Slavic heart happy. The food came out fresh from the bubbling oil, it could be handled without burns, but clearly spent no time under a lamp. Both the chicken and the fries were fried to a delectable crunch. No twice-fried-as-an-excuse here, genuinely well done. My only note is that it feels as though the fries and chicken *may* have spent an extra 15 seconds in the fryer. While the innards were tender, it felt as though a tinge of moisture was sacrificed without need. The fries were seasoned perfectly, and other than the usual delight of dipping them into everything on the plate, they were perfect as they were. Fantastic amount too, not the starch overload of Five Guys, but not a skimpy serving either. The chicken sandwich was the real star. The medium contained some proper spice without having smoke come out the ears. It was well sauced, and had a great hit of acid from the pickles. Out of left field came the slaw: I was not expecting to like this to the point of almost leaving it out. However, it was fresh, felt homemade, and wasn't a mayonnaise bomb. Would order the again without complaints or reservations. I also had a chance to try their house-made lemonade. I appreciate that they use zero-calorie sweetener to cut down on sugars. However, it came out too sweet for my liking. It would be helpful to have options of level and type of sweet. Final notes: The server behind the counter was very welcoming and friendly, and the food came out in a reasonable time frame considering how fresh everything was. Final verdict: A case where I say it's a good thing Nash Bros is a little bit of a hike, otherwise I might visit too much for my health. Barring some minor notes, everything was scrumptious, and I'd happily order it all again (and likely will!)

    I checked out this restaurant for the first time recently as we were in the area and wanted to grab…read moredinner. So we decided to give Nash Bros a try. We got here about 30 minutes before closing time. The restaurant was somewhat busy w/ dine-in and carry-out orders. I ordered their original Nashville Hot fried chicken sandwich made Xtra Hot based on their heat level offerings (which was the highest heat level) and my wife ordered their Honey Butter fried chicken sandwich with mild heat level. I also got their House Fries that were seasoned crinkle cut fries. We asked for cups of water but were told that they were out of cups, so either buy water or can of pop. They did not have fountain drinks. The food came out shortly. My etra hot sandwich tray was tagged as 'Hot' w/ three symbols. I asked them if that meant the sandwich was just 'Hot' and not 'Xtra Hot' and I was told that if I ordered extra hot then it meant it was extra hot. My sandwich was really delicious. The flavor was good and the texture was nice. The Xtra Hot flavor was not overwhelming but also it did not seem like the extra hot they said I should be mindful of because it was going to be very spicy. My sandwich was decently crunchy and the pickles and coleslaw had a tad bit of sweetness that went well with the heat of the fried chicken. The Brioche bun was well toasted. The fried chicken patty was decent in size. The Honey Butter fried chicken was a major letdown. It's a sandwich in Brioche bun w/ fried chicken and only spicy honey butter (no pickles or slaw). The bun and the fried chicken were drenched in melted butter but there was no taste of sweet heat or just sweet honey. The fried chicken patty didn't have any flavor either. We mentioned it to the staff members and they apologized for the way it turned out for us. The crinkle cut fries were okay. They were soft and unevenly seasoned. The seasoning was decent in taste. Overall, we had a decent experience. The service was okay. My original Nashville hot chicken was delicious but the Honey Butter chicken sandwich was anything but delicious. The restaurant aesthetics were decent. They have a live band performance area. It's a nice, friendly restaurant with a decent menu variety. We weren't wowed by the food but I would say that the original Nashville Hot fried chicken sandwich was worth trying.

The gyro meat has a unique, delicious flavor that keeps me coming back, and the pita is exactly how it should be, soft with just the right amount of crisp. Their fries are consistently fresh, perfectly seasoned, and always served hot. What makes this place even more special is the service. You can tell the staff genuinely cares about the customer experience. On my most recent visit, Verda was exceptionally kind, patient, and welcoming to every person who walked through the door. I was especially touched by how warm and thoughtful she was with my sons. That level of genuine hospitality is becoming harder to find, and it made our meal even more enjoyable.

No tip for you! The fries were average frozen crinkles. The sauce on the sandwich was okay, as was the brioche bun. There was more breading than chicken, though. Disappointing, especially for the price. Three and a half stars for the food, minus one and a half for the price, and demanding a tip for ringing up my order.
