“Portillo's in Chicago is more than just a restaurant; it's a vibrant echo of the city's rich history and culinary innovation. As the original location, established by Dick Portillo, Portillo’s has evolved dramatically from his humble hot dog stand, into a Chicago institution. The menu is a delightful showcase of Chicago classics, featuring some of the finest pasta and the renowned Italian beef sandwiches that have become a city staple. Not to be overlooked is Portillo’s own Chicago dog, a masterpiece of flavor and tradition. Each item is crafted with care, ensuring a memorable dining experience. The bar boasts an impressive selection of the coldest, freshest tap beer, perfectly complementing the savory dishes. And for those with a sweet tooth, the cakes and pies offer a delicious finale to any meal. What sets this location apart is not just the exceptional food but also the outstanding service. The staff are hard working, friendly, and embody the spirit of Portillo’s & Barnelli’s. With the added convenience of a drive-through, it’s easier than ever to indulge in these iconic flavors. Whether you're a longtime fan or a first-time visitor, this Portillo’s location is a must-try, offering an unparalleled taste of Chicago's culinary heritage.”
“When I lived in Chicago, this place made me not miss moms cooking so much!”
“Es un lugar muy bonito, con un ambiente muy de Chicago antiguo. Hay fotos antiguas y muchos objetos que evoca los años 30. La comida se dice que es típica de Chicago, la encontré buena pero no puedo compararla con nada. Para uno como turista es un lugar que hay que visitar. Los precios son razonables y hay variedad de cosas para comer, como hot dos, Ensaladas, sándwich carne italiana, postres, etc”
“Un local con temática de los años 1920 y 1930 con muchos recuerdos de la época, variedad de menú especialmente sándwich, precios razonables.”
“Buena opción para comer a buen precio en Chicago. Hamburguesas y pastas. Tanto para llevar o comer en el lugar.”
“J'y vais depuis 30 ans et j'avais jusqu'à présent jamais été déçu, mais aujourd'hui c'est une autre histoire sandwich insipide, et vraiment pas bon ,ribbs sec et le goût n'ai plus la, le pain non plus brefs depuis que c'est devenu une chaîne c'est devenue sans intérêt bye bye”
“The Internet lied. That is why they call it the dark web. Don’t believe the height for this place. I’m sure if your celebrity you get special treatment and the owner makes it special for you by his own hand, but for the rest of us stay away couldn’t see anyone going back there. I have never had so much grease. And that pickles or whatever they weren’t cooked. So stay away from the Polish sausage definitely don’t get the special stuff in there and then the fettuccine fettuccine is quite plain The fries and the cheese sauce that’s pretty good Fortunate for us a McDonald’s across the street and it’s the flagship McDonald’s”
“First of all, I ordered the Penne Diavolo from the kiosk and this is what I got served. Take a look at the picture they advertised and tell me I didn't get catfished. Also, they claim to call out our order number, but that is only Portillo's calling out on the walkie. So our food had been ready for 20 min at the other pick-up, and we were unaware. With a kiosk system, we should be able to get text alerts to know when orders are ready. Poor system. Disappointed.”
