Nicky Vs is newer to the area, and I'd been wanting to give it a try. I went in hoping it would be…read moremore than just another local beef and hot dog joint, and it absolutely delivered. I tried quite a few items: the gyro double cheeseburger, hot dog, chili cheese fries, breaded steak sandwich, polish dog, and mozzarella sticks. The gyro double cheeseburger was definitely unique. I'd give a slight nod to the cheeseburger over the gyro since the gyro meat was a little more well-done than I prefer. Every bite tasted different--one bite had the classic cheeseburger flavor with mustard, while the next tasted like a gyro with tzatziki sauce. It was an interesting combination that somehow worked really well. The hot dog was very good. I'd absolutely order it again and recommend it if someone asked. That said, it's also just a really solid hot dog. There wasn't anything revolutionary about it, but it was exactly what I wanted. The chili cheese fries were one of the highlights of the meal. Instead of simply putting chili and cheese on top of a pile of fries, they layer and mix everything together inside a soda cup. It's almost like they made a chili cheese fry casserole. Every bite had the perfect ratio of fries, chili, and cheese. Honestly, they should call it chili cheese with fries instead of fries with chili cheese. One of my favorite things to order at places like Nicky Vs is an Italian breaded steak sandwich because restaurants either know how to make one or they don't. Nicky Vs definitely does. At first I thought the price was a little steep--right around $20--but as soon as they handed it to me I understood why. It came triple wrapped, was absolutely loaded with toppings and juices, and was enormous. The sandwich struck the perfect balance between being hearty and flavorful. If you're craving a breaded steak sandwich, this is the place. If you're someone who orders polish sausages like I do, you'll know every restaurant has its own version. Some taste more like a hot dog, others more like a regular sausage. Nicky Vs serves a polish that truly tastes like a polish. It's hard to explain because that's literally in the name, but the flavor is exactly what you'd hope for. It also came with the biggest sport peppers I've ever seen. The picture I attached isn't an illusion--I didn't even know sport peppers came that size. I'd definitely recommend ordering the polish. The only disappointing thing about the mozzarella sticks is that they only come in a five-piece order. They were crispy on the outside, perfectly gooey on the inside, and exactly what a mozzarella stick should be. Overall, Nicky Vs impressed me. With several similar restaurants in the area, I think this place has a great chance to become a local favorite. Nothing completely blew me away, but there also wasn't a single thing I wouldn't order again. That's honestly a compliment in itself. If you're in the mood for burgers, hot dogs, beefs, or other grilled classics, Nicky Vs is absolutely worth checking out.

He is so sweet, charismatic and engaging with his customers. He chatted with us like we were old friends, asked our kids names all while chatting with his returning customers as they came in. They all raved about the food, coming from near, and after eating there, we know why. This place is nothing short of amazing! The food was delicious. We ordered a few meals including the hot dogs, fries + cheese sauce and broasted chicken sandwich. All were so good. Everything was eaten off our plates and only thing we returned to Stefan was his plates. LOL. I highly recommend this place. Retro vibes and tasty food - no wonder he's been in business for 47+ years! If we're ever in the area, we will certainly come back to say hi to our new "old" friend Stefan!
