Buldogies never disappoints! I've had a review on Google for years, but this is my first review for…read moreYelp. Anyways, the food is always phenomenal no matter what you order. I get the Wyatt Earp hotdog everytime I go - it's topped with their delicious caramelized bacon and Sriracha that just brings everything else together. I've tried every hot dog on their menu, and I can say that none of them will disappoint you and you will leave satisfied. Their desserts are just as good as well. Your traditional carnival eats jazzed up to the Nth degree. Trust me when I say that you will find something to eat here that will satisfy any craving you have, and you'll leave here feeling 'fat and happy ' as they say. The service is great too. While a two person crew, Jamie and Breian always do their best to make sure every customer is 1) Taken care of, and 2) Always served a meal that hot, fresh, delicious, and worthy of being called Buldogies. Ignore these crappy 1 star, fake reviews. They don't do the restaurant justice, and I can attest that whatever 'nonsense' they are spewing that it's embellished crap with zero information on the situation at the time.

My building management company hosts food truck events every quarter. They advertised this one and…read morewe were excited to try it. We drive around and look for a truck but it's just a cart. Not a full on food truck. No problem, we will work with that. Don't judge a book by its cart, these dogs are good! Sort of gourmet, although I got a standard chili dog. The chili is homemade and the all beef hot dog very substantial. You can only eat one. For the price, you get a bag of chips too. A little bit pricey for a standard hot dog but really filling. I got all the toppings including onions. They also had relish, ketchup and mustard. They offered fried jalapeno chips to top it and I couldn't refuse. Maybe fresh jalapeno should be a topping option. They are opening a location at the brewery and should be very successful.

The food was delicious, I tried the Chicago dog and wife had a Coney Dog, we split fries and each had a water. The bonus was Michael was taking orders at the register. Very personable, thanked us several times for our business. We love a good success story and the hard work that goes with it! If you love a good hot dog this place needs to be at the top of your list!

I came here thinking it was a dog-friendly place, but that couldn't be further from the truth. When…read moreI brought my dogs, I was told they were only allowed outside--not inside at all. Even more confusing, there's a grass area on-site with a sign that says absolutely no dogs allowed. They also don't offer any kind of dog menu or accommodations. Based on the name and overall vibe, I really expected this place to be much more welcoming to pets, but it's 100% not. Unfortunately, this is not somewhere I would ever bring my dogs again. Do not recommend- it's almost like they could not believe I brought dogs.

Saw this place & it was only a block away. So off we went to see for ourselves. We walked in & were greeted with a big, friendly smile. We discussed what we were going to get & the Cajun fries were recommended. He rang us up & gave the total. My husband was paying with cash & just as he went to pay the young man - named Jay - said oh my goodness. I forgot that you got the special - buy 1 cheeseburger get 1 1/2 price. He re-rang the total & we paid. My husband gave him a nice tip & he seemed surprised. My husband told him it was because he was honest about his mistake & made it right. Now the food!! Hand formed meat patties, grilled buns, fresh veggies & chopped onions - which to me puts burgers over the top. And the fries!! Well seasoned & crispy. So - if you get a chance swing by Hippo Burgers. You won't regret it.

This was not our first trip to Portillo's. We dined at the Katy location and truly enjoyed it…read more First of all there were seven employees in the almost empty restaurant. There was nobody at the register however. There are two kiosks but I refuse to use them. This is just anyway to avoid hiring. I had a number three which is two Chicago's with fries and a drink. My wife ordered a fried CHICKEN sandwich with cheese and bacon. She also ordered fries and a shake. The order was stamped at 3:44. At 4:03 our order was finally ready. They put the bags on the counter then made her shake. When she opened her sandwich there was her cheese and bacon on top of a HAMBURGER! After waiting 20 minutes they had to remake her meal. Meanwhile my dogs and fries were cold. In all fairness the manager refunded our money but a $33.00 meal in a very slow restaurant should have been correct the first time. All that said, the quality of the dogs was fair at best. The fries are crinkle cut and from frozen. I have had better Chicago dogs at James Coney Island but they have closed several stores close to us.

So, I've been to Portillo's in the Chicago area and loved it. So glad I found this one in Katy…read more The Italian beef with cheese is so freaking good. It's messy and delish. You will need a lot of napkins, a lot. The regular Italian beef is also good. We usually have to order them to the house to quench our beefy desires. Now, that there's one near'ish me. I'm going! I dream of that Sammie (sandwich, for non Sammie eaters). As I write this, I can almost smell it. Ps. Don't pass on the Italian Giardiniera. I like the hot one. Marconi's from the Chicago area as well! I also order that for home use. Bon appetites! As for building ambiance and what not. Typical for chain restaurants. I don't go there for that. The ppl were nice and the place was clean. I do like to an early lunch to avoid the rush. Peace out!

First time trying Portillo's and wow -- I was impressed. I ordered a Chicago-style hot dog (no…read moreonions, peppers, or pickles), a chili cheese dog, a medium fry, a chocolate cake shake, and a slice of their chocolate cake. The hot dogs had great flavor, and I liked the amount of toppings. The quality was solid, with a nice snap to the bite. The fries were mediocre nothing special But the real stars of the meal were the cake shake and the slice of chocolate cake. The hot dogs would make my rating a 4 but the cake slice + cake shake bumps my review up to a solid 5! I wasn't expecting the shake to be that good -- it was loaded with pieces of cake in every sip. The chocolate cake itself was moist, airy, and rich without being overly sweet. It had the perfect balance between cake and frosting. I'll definitely be back and making this a regular treat.

First heard of Portillo's at the car show at Reliant stadium a few months back as they had a vendor…read morebooth in the arena and they handed out info about the place. Just been so busy but finally got time to go and try. I will say that I wasn't impressed overall. But I also knew I was going for a hotdog and my friends were gonna order a broiled chicken sandwich. First from outside the bldg looks nice and modern and has a diner vibe. Inside looks diner/retro sorta and plenty of seats inside and outside. Overall appearance looks good. Staff friendly and welcoming and helpful with our questions since first time visitors. My main issue is they are pretty much à la carte. But do have a few combos on a center menu bar. but it didn't list all items or show all items available in combo form. I asked cashier if I had to order each item separate and she said yes. So my hotdog was $3.89, reg fries $2.99 and drink $2.49 so a total of $9.37 before taxes and the broiled chicken sandwich $7.19 so a total of $12.67 ea. Total for all 3 was $37.57 The hotdog had no size choices meaning regular or 100% beef frank or larger size. So the hotdog I got was a regular sized hotdog and the bun and toppings were bigger in size and portion then hotdog. The broiled chicken looks like a half of piece of a chicken patty, very small for the price. Way smaller than other fast food places like a chic-fil-a, Whataburger or Popeyes. The fries were actually really good but I wanted onion rings so when I asked the cashier if they were real onions cut up and battered or even pre frozen but real onion rings and not fake onions rings like BK she said no they are not real onion rings so I passed on ordering them. Once we went to the drink station they were out of sweet tea, and didn't have lids to fit the cups they gave us. I got a soda and then when I picked up our food I saw a drink station for drive thru and asked cashier if she could give me a sweet tea and she did but it didn't taste good at all so I decided to drink the root beer I originally poured. Trash bins were full, my table was clean but the seat I had to wipe down crumbs before sitting down. They had a lot of workers behind the counter not sure why there wasn't one or two in dining room cleaning and taking trash out and restocking drink station. Over all the hotdog did taste ok, but as a comparison the Chicago dog I use to get at James Coney Island with the option to upgrade to a beef frank is way better overall. They really should add an option to upgrade to a bigger dog. The chicken sandwich overall tasted good but very small and over priced. Due to portion size and higher prices compared to what you can get at other fast food places with larger portions I probably won't return.

The setup is a little unique. It's located in the back of another restaurant, and the official way to order and pick up is through the drive-through. I didn't know the rules yet and walked in, but honestly? Didn't matter. From the moment I stepped inside, I was treated like family. Super welcoming from start to finish, from ordering to walking out the door. The young ladies working there talked me into grabbing dessert, and they weren't overselling it because it was just as good as promised. When I picked up my food at the window, they even tossed in a fresh lemonade as a bonus... which was so good I didn't end up sharing it with my wife on the 25-minute drive home (sorry, babe ). I'm gluten-free, so I ordered mine without a bun and it was still fantastic. My wife said hers bun and all was just as delicious. Great food, great people, and an easy spot to add into the regular rotation. We'll definitely be back.
