“Nicky’s Hot Dog is a must-visit spot if you’re in the Hotel Central area for a business trip. I arrived around 11:00 am, and while foot traffic was light, parking was still scarce, possibly due to sharing with a neighboring business. The place is tiny and old, with no updates to the exterior or interior, but that’s not why you’re there. I skipped the namesake hot dog and went straight for the Italian beef sandwich.

They used to be cash-only, but now they accept major cards, which was a relief since I don’t carry cash. The workers are packed into the minuscule kitchen like sardines, but ordering is straightforward. Just tell the guy at the counter what you want, and he writes it down on paper. A couple of minutes later, your order is ready.

There’s nothing fancy about Nicky’s, so if that’s what you’re after, head to a major chain. I ordered a beef sandwich with fries and an RC Cola for around $14. The sandwich came wrapped in foil and paper, with the bottom half soaked in beef juice. The beef was perfect, the bread was soft, and the hot peppers were just right. The sandwich was delicious and paired perfectly with the golden fries and cola. I’m so glad these places still exist, and I have much respect for the workers who move at warp speed to handle the orders, especially as it got jam-packed as soon as I left.“

“The best burgers, hotdogs and those fabulous fresh cut fries!“

“I dont review because that's for Karen's looking to complain. I was born on the Northside during the worst times. Chicago style food means something. It means grit...This brings me back. From a Southsider who grew up on the Northside I know grit. I Thank you sir 🙏🏼 God bless“

“When I'm in Chicago I always have to have an Italian beef. This time I wanted something that wasn't a big chain and I stumbled on Bob O's. Man this place was awesome. The Italian beef was tremendous as well as the meatball sub and char dog. Even the fries were great. The portions for the price were tremendous. Absolutely killer place!!!“

“Old school hot dog and sandwhich place. Taking a point off the dog for the missing poppy seed bun. Taking another point off because it is missing tomato (sign indicated this so I knew what I was getting). But adding a point cause the fries are legit. Is it my top dog ? No. But very tasty dog at a good value and a quality place by owners grinding out a living and for that, much respect.“

“like a dream had went back for a second round Thanks!“

“The worker Zhyldyz was so kind and patient:). I believe she was alone but she was still kind even though being alone. She worked at a good pace and got our stuff out with good timing:). I could tell everything was made with care xD. I hope she had a wonderful rest of her day! ♡“

“Stopped by for a quick lunch after grocery shopping. My friend ordered the Saturday special—the Super Burger, a massive ½‑lb burger served with fries. I wasn’t as hungry, so I went with the patty melt instead.

The Super Burger lived up to its name and was topped with grilled onions and mozzarella cheese. My patty melt was spot on: crispy bread and a perfect burger‑to‑grilled‑onions ratio. I also grabbed a large fountain drink, and refills were $1.

The interior has been recently updated, and they’re clearly making good use of the space, including a half‑booth facing the window. The booths were comfortable, making it an easy place to sit and enjoy lunch.“

“Great Hotdogs loaded with topings and I got a burger too. Fries are crispy and seasoned perfectly. Staff is pleasant and helpful. I will come back here again!“

“Went for a late weekday lunch. Just ordered the Chicago dog, fries and soda. Hit the spot! More of a takeaway place for locals. No real parking, only paid street parking. A small counter to stand and eat if you'd like (I did). Nice owner.“

“Don't let the overall look of this place fool you It might seem like an out of place small almost empty restaurant right next to the sidewalk, But the food is delicious, Very friendly staff of 2 at the moment. It was my First time going I had a hot dog meal with fries and a drink Hot dog was delicious. Fries surprised me VERY delicious home made fries, food was good The price was great. Service was very fast in and out within about a minute well worth a stop, I am looking forward to trying out some of their other menu items 🤤 my one and only complaint if I had one is that there is no porking available for them at the moment 😭“

“tasty char dogs and delicious shakes, I had the banana and my brother enjoyed his oreo“

“So I was googling where can I get a good pizza puff near bensenville and this place came up. I seen they had fresh cut fries and there's nothing like a good fresh cut fry so I figured I'd give them a shot! Man I was not disappointed at all, I ordered 2 hot dogs and fries and I gotta say the but dogs are better than portillo's and the fries are off the charts! It cost me about 12.00 for 2 hot dogs and 2 fries the price is as good as the food! My first time here and will definitely not be my last. I don't know how I've missed this place I'm looking forward to trying other things here!“

“I’ve been going there for 35 years and I’ve never had a bad dog from this place. And the fries are made fresh in front of u. Always crisp. I believe that if u want a 20 dollar gourmet hotdog this ain’t the place. U wanna hood Chicago dog the way it’s suppose to be made, Jacks got it.“

“At first, I was a little apprehensive because this is inside the Home Depot, but the food was absolutely fabulous. The hotdog was great. It was my first Chicago hotdog and the hot peppers are very hot.! the guys behind the counter were very friendly… fantastic location, fantastic food highly recommend“

“Good food an friendly service“

“We often stop by this diner when we’re out running errands 😊🍽️ It’s a great little spot for a quick and satisfying bite without any hassle. My husband and I really enjoy coming here because the food is always consistent and tasty 👍✨
Their gyros are especially impressive - big in size, juicy, and full of flavor 😋🥙 The shoestring fries are always perfectly crispy and fresh, just the way we like them 🍟🔥 It’s hard to stop eating them once you start!
For the kids (and honestly adults too 😄), the corndogs are a popular favorite 🌭👏 and the Chicago-style hot dogs are also really well made and delicious 💯🌭 Overall, it’s a reliable place with good food, quick service, and a relaxed diner vibe that keeps us coming back 😊❤️“

“My FAVORITE grilled chicken sandwich! Everything is amazing! Highly recommend!“

“The Best! The best fries, the best steak sandwich, the best hamburgers, the best everything!“

“I love a Depot Dog so much that I will stop here without having to need to go to Home Depot.A Chicago Dog, chips and a drink for nearly $5 - AND IT ACTUALLY TASTES GOOD - heck yeah!! I know this might sound weird, but I did stop here on our way to go-karting for my bachelor party!“

“I've been coming to Henry's for over 30 years. The food is always great, pricing reasonable, and I love passing on my love of Henry's to my kids. We were there today and noticed some upgrades in aesthetics, with fresh paint and new decor. Highly recommend!“

“Been coming here since I was a kid! I moved up north and haven’t been back in years and as God as my witness it tastes like I never left. Thank you for the nostalgia!“

“Gpay didn't work and I had no physical card. After trying the Gpay several times, I gave up. The manager asked for the drink I was drinking back, lol. I got in the car, saw my wallet in the seat and decided not to go back in. I drove out of my way to try this food, but this experience with being asked for the drink back was shocking. #theapartmentlady“

“Love their cheese fries and milkshakes. staff is friendly.“

“Great food and super friendly staff“

“Great Chicago Style Hot Dog! The fries are so good Highly recommend this place if you want good food.“

“Passing through ORD, of course I'm going to get a Chicago dog. But even the best laid plans get sidetracked!

There are terminals you can order from, and while I was putting in my order, a staffer suggested their Maxwell Street hot dog (prepped by the amazing Oumar) - their only grilled offering! - and I couldn't resist. She was friendly and I went along with it.

Worth a visit if you're craving a hot dog and have a layover.
