I don’t usually eat out with my family but I’ve gone to Portillo’s about 5 so far last year and this year for post- band concert and school graduation and the it’s about 5 people so the price is usually $60-$70 which isn’t too bad but the food is so good I get two breaded chicken sandwiches large cheese fries and a large Diet Coke and the food is so good it makes me say “HOORAY” and jump at least 3,000 feet in the air while doing an Irish jig honestly at this point I should just get a portillos gift card cuz my love for it is unbelievable (please!!!) also the cheese fries are so good! And an absolute must also the cheese fries are an absolute must!!!

This is the 3rd location I’ve tried. First of all the staff was great. Wvery time i go into one of these places seems like the staff is always having a good time. This location seems a little smaller than most and maybe older. The food did tase good but norwhen you get something feom one of these places it is super hot and fresh. Didn’t have that here, I’m not saying the food wasn’t good. I would go back to this location on the way home from O’Hara and give them a second chance.

The hot dogs here are a full package! You get to have the tangy pickles, veggies and a full beef hot dog fit into a bun that is soft and tender. Overall sauces used in the hot dog were amazing. The taste is a 9/10 and the fries tasted good too.

First time visiting Chicago, we stopped by here and I had the Italian beef (dipped) with fries/with cheese on the side and a strawberry lemon cake milkshake. My hubby got the Italian beef and sausage (dipped) with onion rings and same shake. We also order a Polish dog with mustard and grilled onions called the Maxwell. It was the best thing we order. The Italian beef sandwich’s were good but I wish we would have just got the dip on the side because the bread was very soggy. Couldn’t even finish it because of that. But other than that everything was good. Oh and we added sweet and hot peppers to the Italian 4 stars because the bread was too soggy to eat.

My past 2 visits at this certain location have not been the best. Both times they mess up my order in which I have to drive back and both times same female manager just acts as if it’s a whatever. I used to work in the food industry so I know what good customer service is. For what they charge they should definitely be more courteous and act like they actually care. Won’t be coming back to this location anytime soon. P.S the cheese burger was cold the second time.

Stopped by here to meet my girl for a late lunch. Had a Maxwell street polish with a chocolate cake shake that I’ve heard so much about. It did not disappoint. My girl loved hers too. We order our food and sat down within 5 minutes our food was ready. Would recommend this place. Will be returning soon

Lovely Portillos and efficient staff! Love the food. A must have place to go when visiting Chicago! So much culture and the veggie dog, chicken sandwich, cake – everything is good!

Everything we had was good. Price was very reasonable. Service was fast. Lots of seating inside, but it’s getting a bit rundown. Tables weren’t getting cleaned up very quickly, we moved from a table with a loose bench, and crumbs on it. Found another that was fine, but one chair was kind of wobbly.

Can’t drive past Chicago without stopping at a Portillos. For me, it’s all about the Big Beef, dry, plain, with gravy on the side for dipping.

Went to this location to meet up a friend for lunch. The chocolate cake milkshake was a bit off. My little one only drinks orange soda and its not available as a drinking option. The hot dogs were great and so were the fries.
