Nicky's the Real McCoy

Hotdogs were a lil small and cold, but the burgers and sides were fantastic. Overall 4.1/5

Good Greek Chicken. Fast service. No frills no excess. Just food. Can't speak for the rest of the food.

They use top-quality ingredients, down to the tomatoes they put in your sandwich. Really, really good from the chicken to the onion rings.

Nicky's The Real McCoy in Cicero is the quintessential fast-casual restaurant serving all of the iconic dishes of the Windy CIty...Chicago-style Hot Dogs, Maxwell-style Polishes, Italian Beefs served dipped, Gyros with traditional Tzatziki, Greek Chicken with garlicky-lemon goodness, Pollo Adobado asado al carbon and any other fast-food classic that might come to mind like a Pizza Puff & Chicken Fingers.Not only has Nicky's set the bar higher than 9.999 out of 10 Chicagoland fast food restaurants, but they do it with style, quality and dedication. This location in Cicero is their third establishment. It has an old-school, 1950s decor with stools, gumball machines and an authentic vintage diner decor. The staff is always friendly in their own playful, West side way. After ordering your food, don't be caught off guard by hearing one of the cooks bark back if it contains special instructions. The playful banter between the guests and the kitchen is all part of the show. Just laugh and enjoy some of the comments you hear while waiting for your order. Just don't dare order ketchup on your hot dog. This is considered sacrilegious. Its a 312 thing.The prices are probably among the most affordable in the city. In order for the owner George to be able to afford this, he dedicates himself daily on-site to training a quality team that uses quality product efficiently. Many of the recipes are his own that he learned while growing up in Greece. His daily presence also creates a super warm and communal atmosphere among regulars. I'm sad Nicky's doesn't deliver directly, but I recently learned that their food is available on Door Dash for anyone looking to try the best Grecian Chicken in the city without leaving their home or office in this weather.Five Solid Stars to Nicky's The Real McCoy in Cicero. While I haven't tried the other locations in Alsip (11524 South Pulaski Road) or their original location in Chicago at 58th & Kedzie, I can't imagine either would differ.

I came by a couple days ago and I had to come back. I loved it here so much. Me and my boyfriend will come back soon

Yeah this place sucks big time!!!We stop here for a Hot dog and ff my friend and I. So to start the lady taking the order was very trash! We 18 for 4 hot dogs and ff plus comes with drinks. Sam's is way better and cheaper Here is a pic from a real hot dogs from Sam's.

What is the most thing I like about eating an italian beef?That it is eaten with giardinera peppers.I buy an italian beef from here and come to find out they make their own. Shit load if oil with celery, carrots, and jalapeño.... wtf is this shit aboutIll just spend my money on a mcchicken next time

I used to love this place. They had great Italian beefs. Today my fiancé and I went there. We ordered 2 Italian beefs with cheese, one drink and one fry. It was $17.35. The Italian beef tasted bland, almost watered down. I couldn't believe how downhill they went. Next time I will go to maxwells on 79th and Lafayette. Tip nickys also charges 3.5% to use a debit or credit card. Crazy.

Walked in and didn't receive any service. New cashiers seen me and didn't bother to take my order, while theyre back there gossiping. Walked right back out.

Great beefs always hot and fresh. Wish they didn't charge for all sides that comes on a beef
