I love this place! I get the Italian beef sandwich and get the bun dipped in juice it's so juicy it falls apart! Awesome sandwich!
Portillos is a great restaurant i like the fact they employ inner city young people to give them a chance at employment. I used to have to drive to Chicago to get Portillos 5 times a year. Now I drive 25 minutes. Great food.
I'll admit, I didn't understand the hype when I first tried Portillo's the other day. I went back for round two, with some food modification suggestions from friends and I am a FAN. Getting the Italian beef dipped, with cheese and peppers was key. Hot dog was ordered loaded and I'm now in love with the cake shake and will likely gain 5lbs. just thinking about it. Awesome lunch!
Very good Chicago dogs served here. I look forward to these every time I come to town. Classic Chicago dog is my go to and the fries are good too.
They have a good system to get the food out fast and the restaurant is always clean.
I revisited and was surprised when I finally got my hotdog unwrapped. The pickle was changed and it was horribly soggy. I ordered three and only ate half of one. Obviously, a supply issue forced them to use different pickles and it doesn’t taste the same . I wouldn’t order these again until the pickles return. Onion rings are good and crunchy.

Our first experience here. Very groovy place to eat and listen to the old time music! Great vibe and decor! Looks like Mike and Frank of American Pickers designed the place. Old oil cans on the shelves, gas station pump globes, old signs of the 50's and 60's adorn the wall as well. Not to mention a lot of neon signs!
As neat as the decor was, the floors and tables could definitely of been tended to better. My family and I had to choose the third booth we looked at because of table tops and seats being dirty from previous customers. Also saw fellow customers after me doing the same thing.
Now on to the food. Both the wife and myself ordered the Chicago style dog, my son had the bacon burger and my daughter had the Caesar salad. The dogs were good, smokey hint to them, the vegetables were all good as well. My son approved the bacon burger with two thumbs up and my daughter said the Caesar salad was nothing special but nonetheless good. We also ordered onion rings and crinkle cut cheese fries, vanilla and chocolate shakes. All the extras were very good especially the onion rings which were either in the fryer too long or that is how they are, very crispy, which is how I prefer them. The chocolate shake was very thick and excellent.
We will definitely be back!
We stopped because the restaurant we wanted to go to was closed. It took a long time to actually get our food after we ordered so next time I would definitely order ahead. I ordered a Italian beef sandwich and it was delicious. My son ordered a chocolate cake shake to share, that was very sweet but it's was fun to try. I would recommend stopping by.

This was my first time having Portillos and I give it two thumbs up. The all beef hotdog was delicious felt like I was in Chicago and the fries made me happy.

I went on a whim. After visiting "Floor and Decor" (I didn't find what I was looking for), I asked Google to "navigate hot dog". I got a hot dog, because that's the trademark item at Portillo's, as well as a hamburger. I looked around, and everybody seemed to have been there and eager to eat the food they ordered. My number was 340. The numbers, as stated on signs, were not called in exact order. I got my meal and the hot dog. I tried the hotdog first to ensure I had the appetite to properly rate it. It was LOADED. And everything was perfectly proportioned. I was hoping the meat would be the flavor of this salty-sweet super flavorful hot dog I got at a New York stand, but the meat was the same old American hot dog; kind of bland on its own, but the toppings were absolute fire! The hamburger was basic. Akin to burger king's whopper, but way better. I spent about $12 on these two items plus a small coca-cola (which is more like a medium, in actuality). Overall this is a great place, with great vibes. I highly recommend going here.
