Stopped by on a pretty autumn day around noon. Not a lot of folks yet, but it's more of a bar/restaurant so I'm sure it will have more people later. Another review said it had beautiful decor... well it's nice and rustic and kinda like a barn so if that's beautiful to you, ok. I would say it had a rustic western feel. I ordered a blue moon and the Niko burger. Prices are the usual bar restaurant prices and at least the burger had bacon cheese and an onion ring on it as well as lettuce and tomato.... and pickles on the side that were fresh and edible! Lol I never understood why restaurants include pickles if they are old and not crisp, but these are good. I ordered blue cheese on my burger and got cheddar but as per request she brought me plenty of blue crumbles. She also offered to have it remade if I chose to. Cole slaw was fresh but very plain. Coleslaw is not the most important to me so no big deal. Fries were good but coulda been a little hotter. Service was great and at least 4-6 more groups came in near the end of my meal. As far as finding good burgers, I'd say this was good and prices compared to others for what you get were a good deal. I would stop by again.

Went to Nikos with my husband and kids the other day. The waitress was very sweet and helpful. My daughter has allergies and she was very sweet about asking for safe option. The kitchen and manager were kind enough to check food and offer suggestions. We started with the potato skins which were good, I would only recommend adding extra bacon as that was a bit skimpy. My husband had the steak sandwich and I had the chicken tender salad. Both meals were really tasty! The sweet potato fries could've used a few more minutes in the fryer for a crispier taste but otherwise were good.

It is so seldom you run into any place, product or service these days that the end result is that the experience exceeds your expectations. Spoiler alert. Niko's exceeded my expectations on every level.I was tooling around Northern Illinois and I've had some good grub in the town of Marengo before, so I decided to stop and try another joint. Pointers Saloon, on the main drag, called to me with the sign out from which simply said "burgers and beer."The decor is "outdoorsy" with a fair amount of dead animals adorning the wall. I don't mind. The service was very pleasant and attentive, from the initial contact all the way through the meal and to my departure. Very enthusiastic young woman.The menu is lengthy. Hard to choose, but I started with a Chicago favorite, Saganaki, a greek cheese set on fire at table side, that you can scrape up with pita. Love it.Finally decided on a club sandwich, I love a good one, and this ended up in my top 3. Quality ingredients. Prepared with care. Nice presentation. Good sides, with home cut fries and a tangy slaw.Also at the table was a patty melt, on marble rye, which was also pronounced 'most excellent."How can I get so excited about a club sandwich? Two reasons: 1) There are a lot of crappy ones in the world, and 2) that Pointer's cook would be conscientious and care enough to prepare this one very nicely.Decor. Food. Good service. Two sandwiches, appetizer and one beer, $42 including tip.Nightly specials too, including the local tradition of AYCE fish fry on Friday nites. If you're out on a drive from Rockford or Chicago, this place is worth a stop.Good job, folks.

The service was ok. There was no manager at all, which is evident in the way the place is run. The food is just ok, but the prices of course are high. We will not be going there ever again.
