    Truly an iconic American Chicago hotdog restaurant. Bright green sweet relish, tomato slice, hot pepper, no ketchup! No frills, straight shooting fast food joint. Oh, also the chocolate cake is something out of this world. I don't even like chocolate cake and I found it to be something special.

    The food was horrible, burnt and tasteless. $90 wasted, I don't recommend it. It was my first and last time. The meat was bitter because it was so burnt. Horrible la comida quemada y sin sabor 90$ perdidos no lo recomiendo fue mi primera y última vez la carne esta amarga de lo quemada que estaba

    I ordered a hot dog no relish and of course there was relish and it was rubbery. The Italian beef was okay not the best I asked for sweet and hot peppers and didn't taste the hot. The food is not popping like it use to.

    I’m not sure if it was just a quieter day or if this place is always on its A-game, but it genuinely tasted incredible almost like stepping back into the era of the original Portillo’s before they franchised and expanded everywhere. I tried their double cheeseburger, and honestly, it outshined the Portillo’s on 95th & Pulaski without question. The flavors were just richer and more authentic. The meat had a perfect char that gave it that classic, juicy bite without being overdone or dry. And the brioche bun option they offered really elevated the whole burger experience. Everything about it was just done right simple, flavorful, and absolutely worth it. If you’re into discovering these kinds of hidden gems. follow Chewin’ with the Bros on TikTok for more reviews and foodie finds.

    Portillo's man at the take out window said he couldn’t hear me, but it quickly became clear he was mocking me instead. It was late, I was simply trying to place an order, and that kind of behavior is outright rude. When I asked if his manager was aware he acts this way, he sarcastically challenged me to call them. I decided it wasn’t worth the hassle, but they did lose a customer—and this review won’t help either. Hopefully, the owners see this review and next time he considers making fun of a customer or acting disrespectfully, he’ll remember this moment.
