The food was great like any portillo's. The service not so much, the girl that takes your order outside just stands there like she doesn't care and when you get to the window you wait forever to get your food. And we were the only one in the drive through.

Ive been going to Portillo’s since I was a kid, but this location was a huge letdown. The place was dirty, fries and burger were cold, and the chicken tenders tasted like they’d been sitting out for hours. Only good thing was the friendly staff.

I've heard the rave reviews on this place so had to try. Italian beef, of course! I liked the option with the Italian sausage so had to get that. Love the charbroil. Next time I'll get the hotdog. Oh, the add on hot peppers were well worth it with sauce/gravy on the side. You can get it fully dunked and eat it with a fork.
I've heard the hamburgers were good. Crinkle cut French fries were hot and fresh. To die for good, yes!
Do you love chocolate? Then get the chocolate shake and a slice of cake for a Cake Shake! They also have seasonal flavors...
Workers were slacking but they took care of our orders efficiently.
But every single one of our orders was messed up eg. no fries, only ketchup on a loaded hot dog... Maybe we came during a slow point.
Decor was amazingly authentic. Just like an old time diner. I'm ready to go again and try more!
