Read moreThey changed the menu I guess for covid so I can live with no ribs. Maybe take the sign inside down though. Either way the beef is still good. Not as good as a few years ago but still good. The worst are the employees. We sat down in the back because it was quiet. The place was not crowded at all. That's how we ended up there all the other places were packed. Portillos was not. So we got our food and sat down to talk. As we were seated one of the employees went on lunch and sat behind us. Then she decided to use her phone on speaker and call her friends. I can tell you she was working from 5 to 11 that night and then 11 to 5 the next day. She was not happy because the schedule was too rough for her. Her friend needed money. I felt like asking her if she took her phone off of speaker I would cash ap her the money. We also know some more in depth personal info. Oh and she managed to stand up and call across the room to say high to another employee who was eating before she was leaving. The poor other employee looked so embarrassed. She ate quick and left with her head down. So I mentioned to the manager on duty that maybe she may want to instruct her employees to turn the phone off of speaker when on break in the dining room because, when speaking in a loud look at me voice into a speaker phone with multiple people on the other end doing the same, it is a challenge for others to hear eachother. It made our dinner very uncomfortable hearing some of the stuff. If it was my child doing this I would hope someone would redirect them. Well the manager didn't seem to think bothering others with the phone and screaming over them to say hi was anything to redirect. She said she's most likely waiting to get a ride home. I knew this to be false because well it was not 11 her sign off time yet. Anyway, employees do not behave professionally and the manager is either worn out and giving up or doesn't understand when an employee is wearing a hat and apron they are a representative of the business. I can say after eating at portillos since I was young. (I lived near villa park. I was at the Downers Grove store in the early weeks of opening ) this is not how the company ever wanted to be represented. So sad that the...
Read moreI visited 3/27 with my wife and twin 3 year old daughters. They had a notice that face coverings were required to be worn until you were seated at your table and eating your food. When I went up to pick up our food, there were a group of people exiting the line where you order food without face coverings. I was immediately put off by this. Why have a face mask policy if you're not going to enforce it? After getting back to our table, we began to take our food out of the bags to eat. This is when it really got bad. I ordered a double cheeseburger and got a chicken sandwich slathered in mayo, my worst enemy. I took the sandwich and fries back to the counter to be replaced and was met with an attitude. They had my cheeseburger in the"warmer" and I asked them to replace my fries. When I got back to the table, my wife showed me our daughter's chicken tenders which were the size of shrimp. I took them back to the counter and asked the guy who was ordering people around if he was the manager, he replied that he was one of them very rudely. I told him that the chicken strips were the size of shrimp and he snarkly replied that they were pretty big shrimp. I told him they might be but they're still shrimp. He rudely handed me replacements that were dried out. When my wife opened her beef and sausage sandwich with extra gravy, it didn't have any gravy on it. She took it up and was met with the same bad attitude as me. They offered her a bowl of gravy. She then spoke to the wise cracking manager who handed her a sandwich without listening to what she ordered. When she got to the table, her sandwich didn't have sausage on it. When she took it back up, the manager argued with her about what she told him. It was an all around terrible experience and definitely not worth the $50 we...
