Portillos is just ok. Just another chain, nothing to be excited about. Unless Burger King's burgers and shakes excite you and OreIda crinkle cut fries are what you desire. Then Portillos is the place to go! Not sure why people flock there. I'm pretty sure any local burger/hot dog joint could beat Portillos. I wouldn't go out of my way to go there.
Totally disagree. I have said here before, I have been going to Portillo's since Dick opened his original shop in the 1960's. It is not your average chain. Quality and service is top notch and their drive up at lunch works incredibly fast and smooth. I have been to a Portillo's all across the Chicago area, I have Portillo's served in a work setting with over 100 people being served and I have had Portillo's that had been mail ordered and there has been no difference in taste with their Italian beefs. They are the best. I will say I have never had a hot dog there, hate hot dogs in any shape or form. They do have great char broiled burgers and my veggie partner loves their salads and a grilled veggie sandwich. Portillo's varies and some do ribs and some do Italian but they all have the basic original menu. We love going to Luigis' in Naperville. We have a Portillo's Honey Jam cafe here too. Don't ever compare Portillos to any low life chain.
