    My husband and I make a point of getting a meal and take out before heading back home to Michigan whenever we come to Illinois. The service is friendly and efficient. The food is always fresh, hot and tasty. We love the Italian beef sandwiches, meatballs and gravy, hot dogs and chocolate cake to die for! We never leave without 2 1/2 lbs of frozen Italian beef to go with the aujus. Thank you Portillos!!!...please open up a location near St. Joseph, MI!!!

    On January 7th around 1030 I arrived to pick up an order. I gave the lady behind the to-go counter the pickup name. She said it would just be a few minutes. She said that without checking on the order looking at the screen. After waiting 5 minutes I asked if she knew how long it would be and she said I don't know. Once again without bothering to check the screen or even check on the order. The sad part about it is she looked like she was one of the managers

    Ribs where the meat falls off the bone and incredibly flavorful. Not to mention, friendly staff. Oh yeah, the atmosphere was set with a 3 piece jazz band. I'd go back once a week if I lived here.

    This locations is awful! Every single time I go here they short me on fries, the container is barely half full. The other locations in Summit or Forest Park are so much better. My last time going here they do this EVERY TIME!!

    I've been going to portillo's for decades and I have to say this is the first time I've been dissatisfied & actually truly disappointed by the service. Considering most of my visits have been during lunch or dinner rush hours. Where tonight, it was quite empty for a Saturday night at 9pm the weekend before Christmas. Considering that, the service was more than slow when I came in to pick up my online order. It consisted of a bunch of teenagers pointing fingers at who should be filling my order..10 minutes past the pick up time. I wasn't the only one waiting on an order past the stated time. It would have been less maddening if one of the 6 or 7 entitled employees apologized or even said, we're working on it. But, I guess that's asking too much?! When my order was finally done on the other side than indicated to pick online orders, she actually tossed it at me, LOL. I felt stupid mumbling thank you (because I'm from a generation of manners) she said a condescending THANK YOU when I was walking away, with a chuckle from her and her co-chuckleheads. In times like these it makes me wonder and think why would I go back to that place? They clearly don't appreciate long time patronage. Shame on you & tge management that let's that happen.
