Don’t waste your money going here. You have a 50-50 chance that you will be missing items, your order will be inedible, or a complete mess. I placed an order for three sandwiches and two fries. I Received one sandwich and two fries, which were cold. I called The restaurant and was directed to DoorDash. When I called DoorDash they offered me a refund until they discovered I ordered off of the Portillo’s website. I was told I needed to get a refund through them. I tried to get replacement items, but I was told they could not do that because they were closing in 30 minutes. I requested a refund since I received 1/3 of my order and the portion I received was cold. I was told I would be receiving a refund in 2 to 3 business days. I ended up throwing the fries in the trash and splitting my one cold sandwich with my child and cooking my own frozen fries at 10:30 at night. I was prompted by email to complete a survey. When I gave the details of my order above , I was given a credit of two sandwiches that I thought would be in addition to my refund. I never received my refund as promised. When I contacted customer service, I was told I was given a credit that was “compensation and a gesture of good will”. My idea of customer service is not making an additional trip to get my “2 free sandwiches” that I already paid for and never received or the 2 orders of cold fries I threw in the trash. This “good will” equaled 1/3 of the value of my total order. I paid $61 for one cold sandwich and 2 cold fries. The whole 61 dollar order was trash and Portillo’s thinks that two free sandwiches is more than an adequate response. Never again.

After a long day at work, my coworkers and I decided to hit up Portillo's. I had heard a lot about this place, so I was curious to see if it lived up to the buzz. Spoiler alert: it didn’t. I ordered a chili cheese dog and a chocolate cake shake. Let's start with the food. The chili cheese dog was decent—not exactly Instagram-worthy, but it got the job done. The hot dog itself was alright, but nothing to write home about. The chocolate cake shake, on the other hand, was a letdown. It tasted like a sugar overload with a side of clogged arteries. I expected something more balanced, but it was just too much. Now, let’s talk about the service. The staff seemed like they couldn’t care less about the customers. Rude and smug is the best way to describe them. It's one thing to have average food, but when the service is bad, it really ruins the whole experience. Honestly, if you’re craving a quick bite, skip Portillo's and head to McDonald's. Save your money and your time—Portillo's just isn't worth it.

Instead of hot dogs (our usual choice), we ordered chicken and sausage/beef combo online. We ordered as we got close to the exit, and we are glad we did. The line through the drive thru was out to the street. All orders can be picked up in the drive they only! No inside pick up. I ordered the grilled chicken on a croissant with honey mustard, lettuce and mayo. Customizing was easy. Husband ordered the small fries and sausage/beef combo on roll with gravy on the side. We forgot to ask for catsup. When we got to the drive thru, we were able to bypass the line since we ordered online. Our bag was brought out to us at the last window. Husband ate two bites of the combo before taking off the beef. He wanted to taste just the sausage. He ate the beef after. My sandwich was okay. The chicken was dry. I liked the croissant. We ate our meal in the car, in the parking lot, with other patrons. All of the staff was polite and friendly. They all wore masks. It was a quick and easy order and meal.

Great location. Fast service. I ordered lunch for delivery. The order came earlier than expected. The food was nice, hot, and fresh. Highly recommend Portillo's.

Portillo’s: Service was fast as usual, and they introduced new soda machines. I tried the spicy chicken sandwich—it was just OK. PROTIP: Stick with their classic Italian beef and jumbo hot dog for the best experience
