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!

Should have gotten two but will get another next time. There is something comforting about a good hot dog that you get wrapped up and can just eat on the go. If you have the chance get a hot dog or two.

The skin was extremely tough and not the usual snappiness. It was like you had to gnaw through it. All four of us agreed.

Looking at fries piled directly on top of a hot dog, my back immediately warned me, "That is a…read moredangerous game to play!" But I had to see what the hype around Gene & Jude's was all about. ​I caught them at a great time with a short line. Their menu is delightfully simple and typical classic Chicago style with minimalist topping choices (mustard, relish, onion, sport peppers) so ordering was a breeze. A single dog with fries and a medium drink came out to about $9. ​While waiting, I loved watching their team work like a well-oiled machine behind the counter. Fresh hand-cut potatoes were dropping into the fryer, and the assembly crew was constantly building dogs and piling massive heaps of steaming fries on top. High output, fantastic energy! I even asked one of the prep guys if I could snap a picture, and he was super cool about it. ​The meal itself was awesome. The fries were piping hot, perfectly salted, and very generous in portion. Once I dug down to the dog, that first bite took me by complete surprise, the snap of the natural casing and the flavor were incredible. Before I knew it, I was clearing the paper wrapper and completely understanding why people order double dogs or multiple single dogs. Be warned it will have your back talking to you too. Lol! Highly recommended legend!
