Know your order when using the drive thru - there will be no time to look at the menu ...which equals HOT, FAST and AMAZING food.
I like the chopped salad a lot. I would like to order a beef or combo sometimes, but I can't get past the salad .
Sometimes I give them a goofy name - like say Carlo Gambino, or Frank Lucas. Or if you are good, you and a friend can share the names Bonnie and Clyde!
For all the NYC kids, the hot dogs here are like Shake Shack's "Chicago" dog. I was expecting a food truck (not a chain) but I'll be back to try the "Polish"
Try the chocolate cake ! Very good salads . I know everyone loves the beef , but do not overlook the burgers !
I highly recommend the chocolate cake , cheese fries , Italian beef , chopped salad and rigatoni ala vodka
Chicken pecan salad barely fits on the plate, is full of flavorful ingredients, with thick sweet honey-based dressing on a side.
Peasant pasta is delicious! And so is pretty much every other pasta dish on the menu.
Natives rave about the beef sandwiches and hot dogs , although I have not had either.
The Chopped salad is great but recommend getting the bacon on the side if saving some for another time; bacon will get mealy because of the moisture.
Try the eclair cake omg!!! So good everyone gets chocolate this one is a hidden gem !
Al greets you as you enter the dining area. Tell him I sent'cha.
What can I say - the fries are great !!!! The rest of the menu is a bonus.
Put a pickle on your hot dog . Trust me, it works. Love the chocolate cake too!
their food is awesome...at times its soo hard to choose what too get cuz its all soooo good!!!
The Italian Beef is overrated and the service has gone downhill since being sold a few years. No thanks Crystal Lake has a better Italian Beef joint that has been there for 49 years at 14 and Dole.
Get the combo! Beef and sausage , the best of both worlds.
The Italian beef sandwiches are great. If you watch Conan, they were used in a bit on Thursday.
The chocolate cake shake was invented by the angels of Heaven.
Try the Poppyseed Fruit w/ Chicken salad !! It's so delicious (:
Always the best. No one tops Portillos. Hope this place never changes. True Chicago menu and taste.
Love the chopped salad , just got a jumbo dog this time though.
The Italian beef and chopped salad are amazing!!
Beef N Cheddar Croissant is my fav but make sure they dont make it too wet or it will fall apart .
Beef or hot dog sandwich
Grilled Tuna and Chopped salad
It's all about the chocolate cake shake
Deep fried fare, pasta , salads .
It's all good. Can't go wrong with Portillos
Get the cheesy beef with cheese sauce not grated cheese . You'll love it
Hot dogs and Italian Beef sandwiches
Agreed, the chopped salad is terrific, altho it can be a little heavy on the onions .
Garbage salad is a no-carbs option, although light on meat.
Order the Italian beef dipped , with sweet pepper and hot peppers on the side. Get fries with cheese sauce too!
The rigatoni el vodka from barnellis is soo good recommend it all the way!
Strawberry Shake is awesome! Highly recommend it(even if it is snowing outside!)
Amazing beef and chocolate shakes .
The polish and fries are good. Chocolate cake good. Average place , ok, but highly overrated for the most part! Nothing really bad nothing really great!!!
The chocolate cake shake is absolutely heavenly.
Burger was OK but if going to Portillo’s get a Beef .
Love the grilled chicken sandwich !! GRILLED TO PERFECTION!!!
The chocolate cake is sent from heaven it's a must try!
Best beef in the country .
Tuna Caesar Salad yum
Pesto pasta from Barnellis is a must have!!
Try the beef , wet with fries !
Cheesey beef crossiant ????
Lemon cake was dry and lacked lemon flavor. Very disappointed. I gave 1/2 away before tasting it. They had the same opinion. Would never buy again
This Portillo's is beyond incompetent. The service is horrible. Waited over 10 minutes at the cold beer counter. Asks to other employees to help, no help. Even called the phone # no help
The hot dogs , burgers and chopped salad are amazing.
Barnelli's Past Bowl is inside the Portillo's building. - Keith K.

Yummy burgers and fries! Fun atmosphere, but really loud music outside! - Michelle Miller
My son and I love this theatre! The staff is awesome!! - Chris Thompson
Wow. Only one choice of white athletic shoe and six pair in stock. One cell phone dash (vent) mount, $25- worth $5-7. Glad I made the stop. Off to Kohl's to look at shoes. - John Van Duzer
