Fresh, Juicy, Delicious and HUGE. One of the best hamburgers I have ever eaten! This is a hand made 1 pound burger. I saw other people eating other fare such as beef and dogs, but I wont' waste the experience on nothing less than that burger. The people are friendly, great service and it just has that home town feel, One of my very favorite places to go eat and chill with family and friends

VERY DRY & TASTELESS BURGER. WE HEARD THAT THERE BURGERS WERE GREAT. WE WENT THERE TODAY, TO TRY THEM. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY. THE BURGERS WERE DRY & TASTELESS. THE BUN WAS HARD AS A ROCK. THE GRILLED ONIONS WERE OVERCOOKED. MY WIFE DIDN'T EVEN LIKE THE PICKLES. I HAD A DOUBLE 1/4 LB-ER AT Mc D'S LAST WEEK. IT WAS 5 TIMES BETTER THAN NICK'S BURGER & IT COST LESS THAN $4.00.

Let's Get The Facts Straight. Lets try and set the record straight about Nick's....On 5-5-11 a negative review was posted about the owners because Karen & Bob were let go....I dont know the reason why they are gone.....On 5-6-11 we get 4 reviews praising the new owners and staff...In the following days we get more positive reviews about the new staff and negatives about Bob & Karen....Obviously someone didnt like the review from 5-5-11 and a flood of fraudulent reviews followed the neagative one....After awhile hardly any reviews are posted.....Anybody with a brain can see what happened here.......I will give my opinion on Nick's.....I have never had a bad burger there and yes there are better burgers but its more than acceptable.....I was a fan of Bob & Karen and was sorry to see them go....There is a review that said that the previous bartender[Bob] was unfriendly....Nothing could be further from the truth...The new manager wasnt very friendly the few times i went in there after that but i havent been going there that much....I went in for a drink during the car show and he never waited on us so we left....The following time i went in there was a awful sewer smell so of course i didnt stay ....The biggest downer of them all is that the prices have been raised TWICE this year in a bad economy...A bag of Cheddar Fries that were less than a $1 are now over $2...The Burger that was $6 is now $8... The Burger is pretty good but not worth the money anymore in my opinion....Im not telling anyone to avoid the place but it was a much friendlier atmosphere under the old manager....

Yozza! Thats A Great Burger!. Say this little tavern on Chicago' Best the other day, and I am a big guy that likes big cheeseburgers. So why not give this a try? My brother and I made the trip to Lemont and they were having a car show right in front of Nicks. We sat inside, and they were packed! I can see why. DELICIOUS, DELICIOUS, DELICIOUS. We are going back this weekend. Did I Mention DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!
