    Very weird. Went to this location for the first time. They gave me the best Chicago style hotdog I've ever had from Portillos, but in the same order game me the absolute worst rodeo burger I've ever had. This is the first time in probably 20 portillos trips that I cannot finish the burger it's that bad.

    A must visit for anyone in the Chicago area, Portillos always has great fast food but the barnellis combination with it also offers great pasta as well

    I continue to be disappointed with Portillos in Glendale Heights especially compared to the past. The beef/sausage combo with green peppers that I ordered had very little beef on it, I mean very little, and the green pepper scraps were tiny and extremely mushy. The fries container was not anywhere near full. Over $15 for combo and fries. I felt cheated and like I should have gone elsewhere for dinner.

    I had ordered two instead of one chocolate cake by accident for a colleagues birthday. When I got there, Eileen saw my confusion where to pick up or speak to someone about my little mistake. She kindly guided me in the right direction and took my information and corrected the charge. Her personality and how fast she took care of the refund was amazing. We ended up purchasing food and dessert to go. I really love her warm welcoming attitude and quick assistance. Food was great and service is amazing! I prefer this location instead of going to the one close to downtown which is by my job. They deserve the business. Thank you, Eileen. Great chatting with you and I look forward to coming back. The spiced caramel cake was delicious...thank you!

    We've been going for years and it's my family that moved out of town first stop when they come back to town but I hadn't been in a couple years. Just went and I just have to say the baked mostaccioli was just not good. There was not much sauce. There was absolutely no meat. Just disappointing. Not sure what happened.
