Nicky's Hot Dogs

I think I knew the owner back in 1979-80 or so, but that family isn't the current ownership. Good Chicago dogs here and the rest of the menu that goes with a place that does Chicago dogs. I really miss being able to find a good Chicago dog place around any corner but I guess it's better for my health that I'm in Milwaukee now. There are no authentic Chicago style hot dogs to be found in Milwaukee, if you see one on a menu anywhere in Southeast Wisconsin don't bother, you'll only be bitterly disappointed. This place, however, is the real deal. I don't know why anyone would complain about the service, if I got an overly polite, saccharine sweet, scripted dialogue from a hot dog stand cashier I would walk out without paying. I expect a no-nonsense gruff White Sox fan working class competent exchange that puts a red hot without ketchup in my hands without any butt-kissing. And that's what I get here, from the 1979 to now.

Good chili dogs.. hot crispy fries. If you are looking for customer service then don't come here. The old lady that works here rarely smiles and if anyone can make her smile they should win a free hot dog meal.If your driving down Pulaski stop for a dog and see what you think about Nicky's.So let it be said... So let it be EATEN.

What can one say about a Chicago Dog? Hmmm, well as my neighborhood spot I have to say a lot. Hot Dogs in Chicago are definitely a dime a dozen, but how the hot dog is made can make a world of difference. You see, at Nicky's you have to get it Chicago style. No ketchup thank you and just the flavors that remind one of how it once well. Let me not be melodramatic but lets keep it real. Chicago Hot Dogs have to be made correctly in order to be considered real. And at Nicky's they make sure that you have that experience. I mean of course you can get other items here also, but the hot dog is what I come for. Juicy and just as I remember a hot dog to be when I was a small boy in Bucktown. You have to have that snap in the dog too, and without that extra snap, its just a hot dog. Of course please note that they also sell other items such as hamburgers too. Oh and they gyros plate, lawd, its definitely enough for two people as the plate has two gyro breads to share and with plenty of fixings, you just can't leave hungry.

So I will say I have history here, but a real Pulaski hot dog place. I worked down the road 20 years ago and would go there at lunch it was a full on Circus. So I am doing a job near by I stopped in. WELL LET'S SAY THE AREA HAS IMPROVED. It was a older Polish neighborhood but now appears a lot more upscale. So I get the Chicago Dog and a Italian beef. Yes I am a big guy. The dog was good, there relish is the one out of mustard. Tasty! there fry's are a steak FRY cut style. I love salt. So the the Beef I had hot peppers. It was huge amount of beef. So much you need to ask for extra hot peppers. I know odd! Well it is still solid. It not a Steak house it is a great lunch stop. Good to see it still on Pulaski!

Nicky's is def a hot dog spot w/very reasonable prices and they're food is gd. Def recommend this spot when ur in the mood for a late night craving of hotdogs & sme chzy fries.

Pretty good Chicago dog and Italian beef. I would have given them 4 but the beef is a bit salty for my taste. The Chicago dog didn't have the neon green relish. Still a good dog. I just come to expect the odd color.

Not going to lie food good but they literally had me wait 20 min for a burger and fries which I thought it came with it and than I order a small fry and it came out to 13 dollars and no receipt. Never again will I go here very unprofessional and nasty.

It was very good service was also very good when I walked in I was properly greeted will order again when

Gotta love chi town hot dawgs. Been eating dogs all across the city, and keep coming back to Nicky's when in area.

Value oriented meal offerings. I want to try Chicago dogs on a budget and this place was beyond my expectations!
