My 10 min in this restaurant was enough to notice it is poorly managed and the practices are extremely unprofessional and unsanitary.

Waited nearly 30 min for my food just to have big families that order way after me with way more food get there’s before me! I’m not one too write reviews but I’ve been too a lot of Portillos throughout the country and this is the worst experience I’ve had! Food was cold and bun was soggy on my Chicago dog from sitting so long! Don’t waste your time eating here!

On Monday 10/27 I was apart of a group order, I ordered 3 Jumbo Chili Cheese Dogs, The employee on the Intercom said my order back to me, it was also on the screen. Then at the first window he also said the order back to me correctly, then I pick up the bag from the second window and drive home. I get home open my 3 Jumbo hot dogs to find 0 chilli, and 0 cheese. Just pickles, peppers and other things on the Hot Dog I did not order or want. Very Disappointed… No one in my group order this kind of hotdog.
