The service was terrible. We waited over 20 min for our food and everyone after me received their food before I did. I waited a few min longer before asking what was going on and they had my food off to the side and the guy looked at number and just handed me my bag. I had a shake as well that I had to go back up and ask for and it was just sitting there separate from everything. It was completely melted. The soup was not even filled up. Every other before and after mine was spoken over the speaker so what happened with mine that I had to wait over 20 min and then ask for it as it was sitting off to the side like it was forgotten. Then the employees were obnoxious. They are either over staffed and have nothing to do or they just don't know what to do but there were 2 employees at 4 separate times one after the other that came into the section that I was in, we were the only people in that section the whole time but one would walk in holding a spray bottle and rag look walk away then here comes other one same thing 4 times and not one time did they do anything but stare at the wall or table and walk away. The whole time I was there those employees kept walking back and forth as if they were lost holding spray and rag. It's hard to explain the situation in the words I guess you had to be there to see for yourself. Like you're not going to scoot a chair in that hasn't even been moved to make it look like you're doing something when you're not. I was just upset at the fact that I waited so long for such a small order to have to go up there and my bag has been sitting there the whole time and I stood there the whole time they never called my number and then to have to go back and ask for my shake that was sitting off to the side completely melted but because of the service that I already experienced how busy they were because they obviously couldn't get through without messing things up I was not going back up there to ask for another one I ended up not even finishing my food and leaving. I've never really had a bad experience at a portillo's before my family and I go to portillo's quite often and this is our first time at this location and never again...

Portillo’s Hot Dogs is a fine establishment and has served great food, which is why I had to continued coming to this restaurant in the past. However I will not be going again because one very disappointing factor about this establishment is its’ service. The staff is usually kind however there are two staff members that were truly despicable and unprofessional. The First Gentleman was an African American man at the online pickup area. We went to pickup our order and he told us that he had no idea what our order was and whether or not it had even been made. So I showed him the proof of my order on my phone and he told me the same thing again. After that we went and talked to a middle aged man who spoke with an accent and wore glasses(possibly the manager of this portillos) who told me that it wasn’t his job to help me with my order and said some disgusting remarks to me regarding my race thinking that it was some funny joke and that I wouldn’t understand. At that point I decided to walk away. And while I was forced to keep waiting, the African American gentleman as well as the middle aged man with glasses began mocking us(me and my sister) and laughing at us behind the counter at the pickup area. At first I just looked away, then I realized they just kept looking at us and laughing and the moment I looked over, they quickly walked away and went back to work. What I experienced at this restaurant was nothing but disappointment and embarrassment. So my advice to all of you is to avoid this specific location because they clearly don’t like certain “kinds of people” as I was told. As terrible as these two gentlemen were there other staff members were quite kind and respectful as they had been, but in every society there are those who choose to treat others with prejudice and mockery. The only thing I hope is that no one else has to deal with what I had to deal with. Would not recommend going to this portillos. There are other locations in Naperville...

The Naperville Portillo's was one of the worst Portillo's I've ever gone to before never again will I ever eat there again the food was sloppy prepared terribly instruction wasn't followed portions on a beef cheddar croissant was ridiculous strings of cheese the crew members really didn't care it was getting close to closing time and we would serve slop food although I was refunded back from my chicken sandwich because I was highly outraged with the service and the fact the way the order was taken was started out good but at the end to push out the food it was just trifling slot never before the years that I work for Portillo's would we have ever served a customer that type of style of food like that it was just slop you all are not training your employees properly I've gone to so many Portillo's throughout the years I've lived here in Illinois and I've worked several of them if needed but like I said never in my entire days of Portillo's that the service and the sloppiness of the food was just totally very disrespectful uncaring if they would have asked questions instead of taking upon their own to fix the make the food the way they wanted and if you already explained it to the cashier how you wanted your food not based on the person that's making it to have 40 years of experience in the restaurant today's younger generation have no courtesy morals and some of them don't even care how they serve your food it takes strong leadership to keep those of the millennial generation in order not equally to them but like I said again that was the worst disgusting service and food that I ever had at any Portillo's but I would never...

Extremely Disappointing Experience at Portillo’s This Portillo’s location is a complete disaster. From start to finish, everything about our visit was frustrating and disappointing. It’s clear there’s no attention to detail, customer service, or food quality here. First, the kiosks are set up to deceive customers, with default options that upsell large items unless you’re paying close attention. My receipt jammed, leaving me unsure if my order even went through properly. Once the food finally arrived—after an unreasonably long wait—it was a complete mess. I ordered two plain hot dogs and received one with random relish pieces. This might not seem like a big deal to Portillo’s, but to my grandkids, plain means plain. They were so disappointed that they refused to eat them. The cheeseburger was a cold, overcooked lump of charcoal. Fries? Ordered three, received five. Drinks? Ordered two smalls, but both were missing. When I brought this up, the number caller was rude and dismissive, and the manager I spoke with in the dining room promised to adjust the bill but vanished and never returned. The dining area was no better—dirty tables and filthy restrooms showed a complete lack of cleanliness. The food itself was subpar: stale buns, over-salted fries, tiny pickles that might as well not have been there, and tomatoes so small they resembled cherry tomatoes. The entire meal screamed “low effort.” If this is what Portillo’s is turning into, I won’t be back anytime soon. Save yourself the frustration and find another place to eat—this location is not worth your time or money.

I placed a Christmas catering order with Portillo’s for pasta, beef, and salad—a combo they themselves created on their menu. When I picked up the order and got home, I found the pasta was missing. Half of my guests are vegetarian, and that was the only option for them, add to that the damaged cake which made this get even worse! I called immediately, and the response I received was disappointing: I was told I’d be refunded for the pasta… but not until Thursday! This level of service is unacceptable. Portillo’s, if you want to stay in business, you need to hire competent managers and ensure better quality control. I’ll never trust you with a catering order again. ******UPDATEA******After posting my initial review, I reached out to Portillo’s corporate team, and I have to commend them for their professionalism and swift action. Stephanie from Corporate Guest Services was incredibly helpful and sympathetic. She thoroughly reviewed my case and issued a full refund in less than two hours. While my initial experience with the catering team was very disappointing, Stephanie and the corporate team truly turned things around. Their responsiveness and dedication to resolving the issue demonstrate that Portillo’s values its customers and is willing to make things right. Because of their excellent follow-up, I’m updating my rating to 3 stars. It’s clear the corporate team takes customer satisfaction seriously, which gives me hope for improved experiences in the future.

We asked around for the best place to get a Chicago Dog and Italian Beef. Little did we know that Portillos would fulfill both of these desires in spades. The Portillo Beef Hot Dog was incredible! The traditional Chicago-Style hot dog which includes relish, celery salt, mustard, onions, sliced tomatoes, a dill pickle and sport peppers. These garden-fresh ingredients are all strategically nestled in a perfectly steamed poppy seed roll with the proficient dexterity of a seasoned architect. The Italian beef was juicy and delicious. The expertly shaved beef is marinating in "gravy" while awaiting its final resting place on the crusty sandwich/sub roll. It's joined by your choice of cheese, sweet peppers, hot peppers 🌶 or both (if you dare!). Make sure you ask to have the whole sandwich "dipped"! This process is summarized simply as the sandwhich taking a quicking swim in the gravy 🏊‍♂️. Beware! The hot peppers 🌶 are hot! Finally, we were treated to a few slices of Portillo's world-famous, fresh made chocolate cake. The manager, Becky, supplied us with this unexpected treasure. The plastic fork, with which we facilitated the transfer of the cake into our mouths, pierced the moist layers of cocoa flavored goodness with the ease of a professionally sharpened chef's knife, heated to white-hot, making its way through room temperature butter. In a word, decadent! 🍽
