This place used to be good, but lately its gone downhill. My husband brought us dinner on his way home from work which is a 30 min drive. They didnt give us any of the ranch dressing for the salad which he paid extra for, the salad was brown and wilted, and missing cucumbers and croutons. They literally just threw some lettuce and shredded cheese in a bowl. The fish sandwich had an off taste. The only good thing from our meal were the fries and onion rings and his beef sandwich. He said when he went inside to pick up the food, there were several employees just standing around talking amongst themselves instead of making sure the order they gave him was correct.. Very disappointing.. Feel ripped off. Most likely wont be returning to this location.

Friendly staff at the windows but the kitchen is unable to get a simple order correct.
Last 4 times I've visited I ordered no onions, no peppers on the #2, of the 8 hot dogs there's been a single one with the correct toppings. Not to mention ordering chili and cheese sides is atrocious and they're missing 1/2 the visits.
If there was another option for good Chicago Dogs I'd probably never return here with the frequency of messed up orders.
Foods good if you can manage to get what you ordered

Pretty slow, and anyone I know who’s been says the same. I don’t wanna sound like a goody two shoes but there’s a lot of what I can only describe as “dicking around” going on here. I get that Chick-fil-A is the exception and not the rule but I think we’ve all come to a decent baseline of what we expect from customer service even if it’s at a chain restaurant, and this falls pretty short of that. Whatever management is doing here, it ain’t good enough, because the vibe is way too casual from the employees. Tighten it up.

It’s really weird to watch people not care about your food and then give it to you like you did something wrong by coming there. It’s really hard to explain the experience and the first time I thought it was just you know whatever but then we went back again, and it was the same kind of weird vibe and then my son asked us to go get something for him so while we were waiting, it was once again the same kind of vibe. It’s just like the people don’t really seem to like each other and they don’t really seem busy, but they also seem really busy all the same time but they go out of order. They mix things up. They don’t know what’s going on. They said things in places they don’t belong and then they can’t find them every time we’ve gone, which is only been three times it’s just been weird and not good and the food hasn’t been the best. The atmosphere is awesome though the building is really artful. It’s cool.

I love going to Portillo’s east and getting a salad to go thru the drive-up window at night… last month they told me “ we are not making salads anymore tonite”, and I vowed it was the last time I’d go there! Tonite I drove thru and ordered 2 salads- waited 27 minutes from the time I ordered until the time I got my salads. The girl in the window ( wearing sunglasses at 9:30pm) said they had a new person making salads that is why it took so long. There were no cars ahead of me. Got home, opened the bag and both salad bowls were 1/2 full- they forgot the Caesar salad ingredients - just a half bowl
Of lettuce and 4 slices of grilled chicken. No bread or butter accompanying the salads.
Done! Last time for me , Portillos
