The bartender was awful. Her back was to us most of the time while she was texting on her phone. She took our order finally, and we will already kinda out of the mood from waiting so long. After about 30 minutes, some over... (more)

My wife and I had Nick's back in April for the first time and we loved it. However, when we went back a few weeks ago on Saturday, our experience was not so pleasant. The dude behind the bar was sarcastic and kept making... (more)

Had a hamburger a few weeks ago, was very good. Went again on Saturday and it was awful. The patty was very,very thin and dried out. No flavor or spices. The patty hung over the bun, so it will still big, but it was the worst... (more)

On our way home to Iowa after attending the Sox opener we found this little burger place that was just unbelievable. 1 pound burger and friendly people. We walked in and felt right at home. Lots of baseball talk and... (more)

Went in Saturday to grab a burger. First time in over 10 years. The bartender took my order and after about 20 minutes the cook brought out my food. After that, you could hear the bartenders annoying fake laugh, but you... (more)

I had to change from original review from Feb of 5 stars. I returned this month (June) and someone stole the NickBurger. The cheese was so melted down, most of it cooked off the burger. The burger was very dried out and... (more)

I had the day off for Martin Luther King day, so I decided to stop in with a buddy at Nicks for lunch.. Wow, the special for this one pound burger was only $5.00 and that included chips. My Burger was so juicy and... (more)

I stopped down last Saturday around lunch. Not only was my hamburger delicious, but it now has fresh tomatoes, and nice crisp lettuce. The bun was soft and fresh, the burger was sooooooo good. New staff and owners are... (more)

The burgers are amazing, and you'll never leave there hungry. The staff helps to create the cozy feeling that makes Nicks such a special place. You've gotta check it out. (more)

Checked out Nick's on an early Sunday afternoon. Had a beef with double green peppers on it and don't know when I've ever tasted one as good as this one was. Was going to order a second one until my wife stopped me! She... (more)

The new owners of Nick's seem to have done everything right! This yesteryear tavern is great! The huge 1lb burgers are juicier and better than they've EVER been and the beef sandwiches are the best I've ever had!... (more)

If you like a big, dried out piece of meat with no flavor, and very slow service with attitude go there. (more)

Still make good hamburges, but they lost their good waitress and haven't replaced her. Our wait for our hamburgers was about 50 minutes. That won't do. (more)

Is the review on this site that ruined their perfect 5-star rating because the reviewer is too cheap or too stupid to figure out how to split a check between two people. (more)

Like the other post... I too grew up in Lemont. Nick's has the best burgers around! Even though I am 1700 miles away from there now a days, I still will stop in for a burger if we are in the area. Took the kids there once, and... (more)

Great Deal!! Ice cold beer on tap. One pound meat burger with no fluff, pickles, onions, catsup, mustard nothing else, cheese or no cheese! Don't ask for tomatoes and lettuce, no gots. Cooked perfect. Small place,... (more)

Having grown up in Lemont, I'll be the first to admit that I might be just a tad bit biased. But it says something when former Illinois governor James Thompson would INSIST on going to Nick's Tavern for one of their... (more)

I love this place! It is a small Ma and Pa place! It's a very relaxing atmosphere! It gets packed quickly, but the Burgers are worth the wait! They are cooked to order and are a pound, made fresh everyday. Great value. No... (more)

I only go to Nick's a few times a year with a friend of mine. It irks me that they won't do separate checks for just two people. It can't be that hard! The burgers are good though. (more)
