    We'd headed West out of Chicago to visit Winston's Sausages - purveyors of the Irish meats my partner likes. Next door was this pancake house and we walked across the lot to get breakfast. Good choice! He had bacon and sausage on a sandwich. I had the country fried steak. We both had cups of tea. Everything was very good. The restaurant is clean, prices Chicago average, and service was both entertaining and attentive. When I asked our waitress for directions to the ladies room she gave a well rehearsed and funny response: straight ahead, don't turn left (kitchen) they'll put you to work; don't turn right (men's room), a man will scream. I'd like to have that country fried steak again today, but we're not in Chicago anymore.

    All day breakfast close to the Airport. What more do you need? On this trip, I ordered the open-face roast beef sandwich, which I mistakenly assumed would be a beef manhattan. Imagine my surprise when I saw the fries. Regardless, the meal was decently priced and I was able to get a chocolate shake to go with it. If you are looking for a diner near the airport, go ahead and give this place a try.

    Great place! My father and I had quite a long layover at midway airport so we walked about 15 min to this place. We got the chicken omelette and hash browns and it was much better than anything we found at the airport. The french toast was a delicious surprise. Friendly service as well.

    Broken plate

    They served my food on a plate with cracks in it. They're still using plates from decades ago while charging modern day prices. The food itself & coffee tasted off.

    Chicken omelette and hash brown

    I ordered a chicken omelet from Uber Eats and it did not disappoint. The omelet was already packed with flavor and had a nice kick, but I took it up a level by adding jalapeños--game changer. The chicken was seasoned well, the eggs were fluffy, and the spice hit just right without being overwhelming. If you love spicy food, this is a must-try

    Great food, welcoming staff, a gem atmosphere for solo dining or with groups. I enjoyed a nice brunch that satisfied me and filled me up.

    This location is very close to Midway airport which is the reason why I stopped in. Quick meal before or after a flight Unfortunately the foos isn't that great. Nothing was seasoned... like nothing. The service was pretty good but that varies from person to person. They even charged .50 for lemons for the water! Not sure why I didn't write a review the 1st time I came but this will remind me not to come back

    While in Chicago we stopped in for breakfast, the food was pretty good no complaints. Service was polite and quick, the pricing was on par with what I'm used to. If I'm back in the Windy City I will check them out again!

    Low review due to service was not good. They sat us & gave us water - walked away & we waited over 10 minutes. We had to ask for service - bad start. Lady looked annoyed that we asked for service - Ordered food & drinks - they came out quick. Food was bland - 4 of us and we had 3 skillets 2 were skirt steak for hubby and I which had little seasoning. I added lots of salt and pepper to add some kind of flavor w ketchup. My sister had avocado one tomato looked bad. Brother n law had special eggs - bacon - and French toast nothing special. Anyways nice amount of food but the skirt steak wasn't worth $16 per plate. We never been here before and more than likely won't be back.

    Honestly, surprised by all of the high reviews. While the waitress was friendly (when she decided to stop by), my food was average and my copilot said it was the worst omelette he's ever had in his life. My meal was a basic breakfast with eggs, sausage, hash browns, pancakes, bacon, and toast. This is pretty tough to screw up and it did the job for my meal. The place is run down and beat up, just like any other small diner. The menu is way too large which makes you question what they can actually prepare well. Overall, there are too many breakfast spots in this area for us to give them another shot.

    Three eggs over easy, corned beef hash and crispy hash browns With 2 small pancakes for bread substitute.

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.

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!

The italian beef however, that is a different story. The flavor was throughout the beef & I liked how it did not have to rely on the juice to get the flavor. Speaking of the juice that had a perfect amount of spice. I have to say this is one of my top Italian beefs that I've ever had.

    MIDDLING EFFORT The…read moreWhite Castle across the street from Midway Airport is totally mediocre. Sitting at the intersection of W 63rd St and Cicero Ave, this fast food chain is directly in the landing path of Southwest Airlines. This is great news for plane watchers but bad news for anyone trying to have a normal conversation. First off, why is this drive thru window so high up? I'm not in a friggin Hummer! Sitting in a typical sedan, I've had to reach up & lean out to grab the food they're handing me with a lot more effort than normal. I'm fairly tall so shorter folks must have a real tough time. I usually get the #1 combo ($9.29) with jalapeno cheese that has a decent kick to it. Sometimes I'll get a 6pc chicken rings but last visit they were sketch AF....I think they put the unused chicken parts in a blender, hit 'pulverize', and form the pieces into circles before breading and frying. And was that a beak I saw? The guy at the drive-thru has been friendly both visits but noise from jets landing nearby makes it tough to place an order. If this happens, you can either 1) shout over the sound of the incoming jumbo jets, or 2) wait a few seconds until the plane passes by. There's two types of people in the world, and this determines which kind you are: the screamy kind or the patient kind. * TL;DR * This WC isn't great, but then again, are any of them? (no, not really) I like White Castle's crinkle cut fries and they have fun trivia on the sides of the boxes the sliders come in. However, I don't care much for this location due to the noise pollution and difficulty getting into the parking lot, which is only accessible via westbound 63rd St or northbound Cicero Ave. Could be worse.

    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.
