Portillo's Hot Dogs

Robin Seay

Both times we went during our recent trip to Chicago, the wait for food was every bit of 20+ minutes. The staff was not rude, but also not friendly, with the exception of the manager that walked by to warn me not to hang my purse on the back of the because they've had a high number of purse snatchings in the restaurant recently. Restaurant was a wreck both days we went and the bathrooms were filthy. Food was good. During our 2 visits we ordered the following: Chicago dogs, chili cheese dog, Char-Grilled Maxwell Street Polish Sausage, Italian beefs, fettuccine Alfredo, French fries, milkshakes, and chocolate cake. The Char-Grilled Maxwell Street Polish Sausage was by far the best thing we ordered. Everything else was good, but nothing special.

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!

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 was freshly made and had a great taste. We ordered a Portillo’s Beef Hot Dog (Reg Size) with all the toppings along with a Maxwell Street Polish. Both had great flavor and did not disappoint. I also ordered a small fries along with a Garden Salad. The side Salad is pretty large and is served with a pretty large piece of Ciabatta Bread. My daughter and son-in-law split a Beef Hot Dog and an Italian Beef Sandwich. She said it was really tasty. If you want a good quick meal visit Portillo’s!!

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 itself was very cozy, lots of seating and things to look at. The staff could be a little bit more friendlier but what else do you expect from Chicago.
