We ordered from the kiosk and it was confusing we're not able to order just a chicago hot dog. The polish sausage was overly chard. The onion rings and cheese sauce were very good

Our food has been inaccurate when ordering from this Portillo's thru grub hub and/drive thru. I placed an order today for chicken tenders, small fry, bacon cheeseburger, and two eclair cakes. What I received was two dipped Italian beef sandwiches!! Unacceptable Portillo's!! Orders should be checked and accurate!

So was there on December 28, 2025 and went through the drive thru and order 2 LG. Cheese fries, a chocolate cake shake and 2 beefs one with onions and cheese dip and the other plain and they messed up the one order of beef and called and they said they going to refund for my one beef and its been 4 days. The only way im coming back here if they repeat the order back and they didnt by going through the drive thru.

Portillo’s never disappoints. The food is consistently great, portions are generous, and everything tastes fresh. The Italian beef was packed with flavor, the fries were hot and crispy, and service was fast and efficient even when it was busy. It’s a reliable go-to spot when you want a solid, satisfying meal.
