    My favorite thing at Portillo’s is their famous chocolate cake. They cake is literally to die for. If you go there you MUST try their chocolate cake, as well as the cheese fries.

    Good food with lots of selections. There is something for everyone's taste. The elderly guy behind the Barnelli's counter tells corny jokes and I look for him every time! Go see him!!

    Everything's good here! Ribs are awesome! Burgers always juicy, flavorful esp with sport peppers. Best crinkle cut fries. Italian beef rocks. Chopped salad is dinner-sized. Busy, but efficiently run.

    Hot dogs are excellent. So is the chopped salad. Can't leave here without getting the tasty cheese fries.

    The hot dogs are legendary. The salads are also very good. In terms of desserts, go with the chocolate cake or, better yet, the chocolate cake shake.

    Try the Chocolate Cake shake - it's wonderful - AND definitely check your order when they give it to you lest you leave with Cheeseburgers and Hot Dogs instead of Beef sandwiches like we did!

    You haven't had Portillo's until you have had either a beef sandwich (with or without chedder) or a Chicago Style Dog with everything.

    Drive thru is worse than most portillos even with the staffing they do. Not all menu items inside are available thru drive thru, this was not immediately known to me. Good location though, extremely

    Honestly the food here is pretty damn good. However since I worked here I know the slave work it takes to make it. And that makes it that much less enjoyable for me even though I no longer work here

    The Italian beef is very good. The French fries and shakes are kind of pedestrian.

    This drive through has a line no matter what time of the day. Having people standing out there taking orders doesn't help much

    Avoid the drive-thru and that side of the parking lot. It can be a nightmare.
