Nicky's Hot Dogs

Big babies don't get better than this. I've passed by this location hundreds of times, but only stopped today to taste their version of the legendary southwest side burger. I grew up on live on the southwest side, and this is the gold standard, as far as I'm considered. Perfectly caramelized onions: medium brown, sweet, juicy, without being burnt. Thin double patty with a well-browned exterior. Sesame seed bun, no mucking about with non-standard ingredients like tomato and lettuce (like some other "Nicky's"-named stands in the area do). Proper assembly, with cheese between the two patties, condiments on the bottom. Well done.

The best greasy food!  Get the big baby.  Its cheap and delish!

for those times when you want some good ol' fashioned grease, go to Nicky's. nothing but extremely good, extremely fast food it can get crowded during lunch sometimes, but dont be scared, the guys working there have all been there for over 10 years and are lightning quick. Nickys is.known for the great "big baby" double cheeseburger with all the fixins including perfectly grilled onions and Gyro plates so big, you have to order an extra pita bread for all that meat. or my two favorites the pettit  burger, which is a big baby topped with Nicky's homemade gyro sauce and more than a few slices of crispy grilled gyro meat (yeah, thats right!) and the chili cheese fries, which is a helping that can easily feed 2 people.
