Nick's Red Hots Aurora — Restaurant in Aurora

Came here today because I wanted an Italian Beef, which this area does not offer much of a selection of. I always order mine the same way; dipped with giardiniera and mozzarella. When they called my order and I went to pick it up I was instantly a little saddened as I saw it was the style where they put the cheese on the top and then melt it in the oven for a bit. I don't care for this method as when you eat it, you only get cheese on a small portion of the beef, only on the top, nowhere else. Not a deal breaker, let's see how good it is! Once I picked it up I noticed it definitely was not dipped. Not that it was dry, but it wasn't dripping wet the way a truly dipped beef would be. I did however notice that it was huge! This was no skimpy beef by any means! The flavor was outstanding! Great spices and flavors. Not a bland beef like you find at a lot of places. Then the giardiniera! Nice and hot, which I love! Even though I didn't have to take a bath after eating it, there was still plenty of au jus to make it enjoyable. I got the combo meal that came with fries. They seemed to be fresh cut, and huge! Very good fries! The beef was so big, I don't think I even finished half of my fries. The restaurant itself was immaculate. The bathroom was pristine. The fountain drink station was equipped with one of the new, cool touch-screen machines with all of your drinks in one machine. The staff was great. Despite the beef not being my favorite style, my experience here was great. If I was in the area, I'd probably...

I'm starting from the beginning so this might be a long review. lol

I'm in rush hour traffic, new to the area, pregnant and craving Gryros. I Google Gyros near me and Nick's pop up. I looke thru there menu and notice they have a family meal for 19.75 or something close to it. However it feeds 4 and that was perfect for me and my boys. Let me say when the guy answered the phone he was very kind and courteous. I told him I was about 45 mins away and he told me no worries will have it ready by 6 for you. When I got there, told them i was there for pick up and immediately started my fries so they can be fresh. Oh I also ordered a Italian beef combo with my Gyros Special for my son. However I brought it home and it was a nice size portion of food and my 4 boys loved every piece. Especially the Italian beef combo. Usually theres left overs but not this time. my little one was sick and still ate his food. Then saw on the menu they serve Ice Cream. Said I want to try that next. So I think I started something lol but those dishes we delicious and we'll definitely be going back, would recommend it to...

Do not eat from this place anymore!! They do not have the same owners/cooks. I had ordered from this place for years but hell no!! Never again!! I just ordered $30 worth of food that was ALL BAD!! A combo sandwich that was old, a gyros sandwich that was old & cold, & a fish dinner for $12.95 that had 2 pieces of fish that wasn't real cod, was old, & had some hard chewy substance in the middle!! How do you just throw garbage at people?? Then I called to tell them about their horrible quality & what they sent & his response was, "What do you want me to do about it??" No worries!! Not a damn thing cause I will never order from this disgusting establishment ever again. Hope I don't get sick now. This is why restaurants never survive in Aurora on Rt.59 cause they turn into...
