    I love love love this place. I usually always get the Italian beef meal. I know my hubby usually gets a gyro plate. I like the gyro cheeseburger meal too. I honestly can say you guys if you're in the suburbs and you don't eat here you should. They are super fast and friendly and they been there forever. I defiantly know we gotta support small local businesses. I will say yes they be super busy but remember before you wanna just walk out they are super fast and efficient and will have you in and out in no time trust me!!!

    Great food! Chicago-style hot dog perfect! Never seen so many fries in an order, perfectly done. You definitely get quality food at a low price!

    No Gyros🥙 I've tasted compares to the OG Nicky's in Calumet City, IL! Most places are skimpy with the Gyro meat even when you order a plate but not Nicky's! The amount of gyro meat for one sandwich is enough for two pita's or a plate. The fries are always fresh and huge!! Gyro special $10 reasonable price and well worth the drive!! Even their Tzatziki sauce is fire! If you love Gyro check them out from THIS location!!! Good buffalo wings too , extra crispy goodness! And come back and thumbs this because you won't be disappointed!

    I've lived in the area for over 29 years & Nicky's Gyros has always been a go to for good fast food. The Italian Beef sandwich is legendary!!!!! I always get mine lightly dipped with hot peppers & mozzarella cheese. The sandwich has plenty of beef inside & over the years that hasn't changed. The food is consistent as well as the taste. Another favorite of My family is the Gyro Plate with an extra pita. This Gyro plate feeds 3-4 people easily. My sons are now adults and prefer driving to Nicky's over other restaurants in the area. I'm delighted that the restaurant is one of the businesses in the area that hasn't closed due to changes in the city.

    I ordered a Italian beef combo w/onion rings. Dropped it off to my aunt only to find out it was just an Italian beef, not a combo. She also said there was no flavor to the meat…very bland. I gave one star as the onion rings were for me and they were good.

    Should’ve waited at Panos but line was long. Waited forever for my food here and don’t know why when it tasted like unseasoned mush. No drive thru so had to go in and literally got stared at by the girl before she even said hello to me. Should have known from the eye rolls/attitude from the cashier and the food on the ground that it would be gross. If you’re a few fries short in your order, they’re on the ground marinading.

    Food has gotten more expensive, and you don't receive as much food as before. Won't be returning you drive to the location for the amount of food that used to be given and then your disappointed with only half the food. Not a happy customer, my sandwich looked like something I could have brought from the freezer and made. Not much gyro meat or sauce so you would have to buy extra sauce. Shameful.

    Besides the cheese on my burger the last few times, this location is on point. They know what they’re doing. The prices aren’t bad either. We love Peter and the crew. We’re still waiting Peter 🤣

    The gyros were excellent! There was so much meat in them that I will have it for dinner! The service behind the counter was fast, the food arrived quickly and there was a constant line of customers. They handled it very well.

    Show me a pretty gyro and i'll show you a tire or a shoe because that's probably what it tastes like. LOL!!!! Not this one though. This is how a Gyro should look and these people never disappoint. I have been going here for so many years I can't even count, but this gyro has been good throughout the years. Great place, Very convenient right off the expressway. Awesome service. Calling in can be a problem at times, but keep pushing its worth it.

    Concerning the food at this location, it is always fresh and made right. I've been getting food from this restaurant since I was 6, and the food has never disappointed me. The only issue I've encountered over the years is missing something from my order; however, as long as you have the receipt, they will give you your missing item. Another thing that I really like is that they give you a lot of fries. The fries always come out crispy and hot. Aside from the food, the actual place and customer service is pretty standard. Lastly, another thing to note is at busy hours it is hard to find a parking spot, so I recommend in times like those parking at the parking lot across the street from them.

    My family has been coming here since I was 10. I’m 27 now. It’s the best gyro spot in the Chicagoland area. Meaty and perfectly cooked gyros. While their wings are crisped to perfection. Recommend coming here!

    I haven’t been back in years, I walked in and was remembered right away 10 years ago I brought my son he is now 17 and also he remembered when I was there when I was 6 and lived down the block. To have someone remember a customer like that is amazing he remembered my whole family. It made my heart full and also the food is amazing and great customer service. Thank you 💓

    This is my first time there and I ordered the Italian beef. The beef had a smell to it and it was some of it was sort of white looking never been there before and I don’t think I’m ever going back.

  • 5/5 Lloyd A. 11 months ago on Google
    Mane! That Italian Beef melted in my mouth🤤. My wife and I also grabbed a couple of Gyros that were 🔥 as well. I am from out of town and totally impressed with the level of food coming out of there. I highly recommend stopping by and grabbing a bag if you can. You will be glad that you did.

    The personal at this restaurant doesn't like black people. The food was ok but I've had much better. The phone service is non relevant. Black people will accept anything but not this Israelite!!

  • 3/5 Drew G. 7 months ago on Google
    This location has the worse pizza puffs served. I'd your have a taste for a good pizza puff, don't buy it from this location. Just stick to gyros and burgers, those are amazing!

  • 5/5 James B. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been going here for over 20 years. I have since moved away but every time I come into town, I have to get a gyro from here because it is better than anything I can find in KY or TN. They give you good portions and it tastes so good.
