    Wow! This place REALLY surprised us…read more We were looking for something different from the usual burgers, pizza, and tacos routine after my girlfriend mentioned she'd been craving gyros. Naturally, I started searching for places nearby, and while there was no shortage of options, Nicky's immediately stood out. Their photos looked incredibly well presented, with gyro meat piled high and genuinely generous portions. When we arrived just before 7 PM, the parking lot was nearly full, and after our experience, I can absolutely see why. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They could tell it was our first visit and happily walked us through the menu, answering every question with genuine warmth and patience. The food itself was excellent. Everything came out piping hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The gyro meat was tender without being overly fatty or dry. The hand-cut fries were especially impressive, perfectly crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and seasoned just right. The onion rings and mozzarella sticks were equally well executed. The real showstopper, though, was the imported Greek baklava. I've had baklava from many different regions and styles over the years, and this was easily some of the best I've ever had. Rich, syrupy, incredibly flavorful, with a heavier note of cinnamon layered throughout that made it truly stand out. The menu is expansive, covering all the classic greasy spoon favorites you'd hope for, and the restaurant itself was clean, bright, and bustling with people clearly enjoying themselves. Near the end of our meal, the same staff member who helped us at the counter came by to check on us and ask if we needed anything else, which was a really nice touch. She also mentioned this is the original family-owned location, and honestly, that care and pride really shows. Overall, a fantastic first experience, and we're very glad we decided to stop in. We'll definitely be back soon to try more of the menu.

    Popped in as a first timer for lunch…read more Had a cheese burger and fries. And my buddy had a gyros. Both meals were very tasty. We Both had the meal that included the main dish , fries and a beverage Very good. Service was good and the dining area was clean and comfy Definitely a stop in the Future

    I went to Johnny's and had a great lunch, the hot dog was spot on delicious, one of the best…read morearound, I also had the gyros sandwich the meat was very flavorful and they really piled it on along with onions, tomatoes, and of course the sauce, it was an all around good experience, I love the atmosphere, it's very inviting and comfortable, with two big tv's and booths along the wall, I really enjoyed a delicious lunch if you are in the area and want to grab a quick lunch that will not break the bank, Johnny's is the place to go.

    The crispy chicken Caesar wrap hit the spot! I got it to go and ate it at home but the chicken was…read morestill crispy and was what I was craving! I also ordered a small side of Greek fries but it was underwhelming. The feta wasn't very good and the fries were watery at the bottom of the container - maybe because I got takeout and the condensation made them moist. Would definitely recommend the normal fries or a different fried side next time. Still very happy with the chicken wrap though and will definitely be back to try the gyro and other goodies! Update: I came back again for dinner the next day LOL it was so good and all I could think about was that chicken wrap... so for dinner tonight I got another chicken wrap with fried pickles. Got takeout and they were perfectly warm and crispy by the time I got home. My husband got a Philly cheesesteak which was also perfectly warm once we got back to eat! We paired it with a slice of carrot cake :) 5 stars all around... and will probably be back again soon for another chicken wrap. The prices are SO great too!

    Still the Greatest hotdog on the planet after eating here for 45+ years and my parents eating years…read moreand years before me everything is still the same ambience inside of the restaurant. It's standing room only to eat your hotdog. The line is always out the door, 15 minute wait for the greatest hotdog known to man. The food taste exactly the same as it did 45 years ago the service is faster than ever the inside has never changed since I was a little kid after many nights of being at the thirsty whale which was adjacent behind Gene and Jude's is where all the rockers hung out and the greatest bands of Chicago came through ..their we would eat hotdogs at two and three in the morning. My children are now full teenagers, and got to experience the Gene and Jude hotdog and we're delighted beyond belief now living outside of Chicago coming into town to have the greatest hot dog and still be exactly the same. The fries are exactly the same ,the inside exactly the same, with a few more awards. This is 100% the best Chicago, hot dog and greatest hotdog on the planet. You must visit this place just to experience the years and years and years of excellence. Enjoy!!... May it bless your life as it has mine. God bless Gene and Jude's team. Keep the tradition and hots going. PS don't forget to get your Gene and Jude's merch. It is now available. Cheers

    Obviously we had to come to Gene's & Jude's…read more Long before we planned our Chicago trip, I can remember seeing a feature about the place on TV. It was a no-brainer. The place is kind of out of the way, but hey, we had a car and some free time, so why not? I, of course, got the Hot Dog w/ Fries ("mustard, relish, onion, sport peppers") and yep it's a superior dog. I'm not sure if the copious fries really added anything to it, but the snap of the wiener and the tasty condiments added up to an extremely enjoyable experience. I can see why Gene's & Jude's is so highly regarded. It's a cool place (and super affordable, too).
