Reviews for Portillo's Hot Dogs in Chicago, IL
The seasonal salted caramel shake was delicious! The hot dog was something I have never experienced with all the different... veggies and specialty peppers. The hot dog itself did not seem to have you to have a lot of flavor but all the toppings made upfor it. The sandwich was a little dry however they did have a gravy option maybe that's where we went wrong in ordering it drybut the meat was tender. Bathrooms were clean, employees constantly walking around keeping the tables clean. Read more
Food was great, truly a taste of Chicago. The ambience of the restaurant captured the old style Chicago. Toilets weren't the... best. While we were about to eat and we needed to combine 2 tables because we were 7 in total. We wanted to enjoy our meal andexperience as a family. Until this service lady came to us and told us to rearrange back the tables after we ate. Payingcustomers rearranging back tables? It was past lunch and there was not enough customers to make her job busy. But NO she had tocome to us and make us feel uncomfortable. Like she was the one paying for our meal. She was rude and management should lookunto this kind of customer service. 2 stars for the bad and rude customer service! Read more
Very popular, casual, neighborhood restaurant on N Clark & W Ontario. You can walk in, place your order and pick it up within... minutes. I was surprised by the spacious food court feel when I walked in. But way cooler. Service was quick and we enjoyedour first classic Chicago style beef hot dogs. It hit the spot. We had a side of onion rings too. Read more
One of the best hot dogs I have ever had! Beef sandwich, even with extra gravy was a bit dry but also pretty good. Atmosphere... was awesome! The shakes are to die for! Read more
I really liked this place. There are really long lines, but very quick. I was waiting on the order for a couple of minutes, but... hotdogs only. Those were ready before I ordered a beer :) also, they serve a beer in an ice-cold glass! Awesome! A lot of space,2 floors, easy to find a table. Definitely recommend if you never tried Chicago-style hot dog ????! Read more
Had a chance to visit this Iconic Hot Dog Establishment but it is way more then just hot dogs. They have a pretty wide variety... of food items to select from. We were in search of a Chicago Hot Dog and decided on coming here. Glad we did. The food wasfreshly made and had a great taste. We ordered a Portillo?s Beef Hot Dog (Reg Size) with all the toppings along with a MaxwellStreet Polish. Both had great flavor and did not disappoint. I also ordered a small fries along with a Garden Salad. The sideSalad is pretty large and is served with a pretty large piece of Ciabatta Bread. My daughter and son-in-law split a Beef Hot Dogand an Italian Beef Sandwich. She said it was really tasty. If you want a good quick meal visit Portillo?s!! Read more
The chocolate cake was my absolute favorite dessert of all time. It was so moist and not too sweet on the frosting. Absolutely... divine!!! The hotdog was also excellent, I wish the peppers were a little more spicy but they had a kick. The restaurant itselfwas very cozy, lots of seating and things to look at. The staff could be a little bit more friendlier but what else do youexpect from Chicago. Read more
This is one of those places you are told to go to while in Chicago. The food was great. The hot Italian beef sandwich, hot... dogs and chocolate cake are all amazing. The line was pretty long for around 3 in the afternoon, but that is expected. Themain reason that I gave them four stars is the state of the bathrooms and general lack of cleaning. They had a few employeeswalking around to clean, but they obviously needed more. I am hoping that this was just a one off situation. Overall, I wouldgo back, since the food was very good. Read more
