After paying, you take your receipt and choose a place to sit. There are plenty of tables to choose from and the restaurant is spacious! We didn't wait long for our food and picked it up at another counter. Our friends love the Italian Beef Sandwich. Highly recommend it, along with some fries and onion rings. My husband got a hamburger with an extra patty and customized filling, e.g. lettuce and tomatoes, hold the pickles and cheese. I was happy to see a chopped salad on the menu- good sized, lots of good stuff with 2 little containers of dressing. Quite tasty. If you're looking for something between fast food and sit down, Portillo's is a good option.

Today I chose Italian beef and it did not disappoint. I also ordered a side of fries and cheese sauce because if you're gonna do it, you might as well do it right!! the restaurant is tidy and welcoming, and the service is friendly and efficient. The only real downfall on this location is how hectic the parking lot is and the chaotic drive-through. And a few things that could use some improvement, the numbers being called out for food are muffled and the music is quite loud. Maybe adding a digital display that tells you what orders up by the number like they do at the DMV

We never had Chick-Fil-A, and we needed a bite to eat, so we tried it out…read more The first thing we noticed (and my wife is retired from food service) is the place was Very Busy. Even for a Saturday night, VERY busy. She noted that she was surprised it was so busy. She ordered their 4 Chicken Fingers with a Salad, which was served with roasted walnuts, and I had their Spicy Deluxe Chicken Sandwich. Let's start with the Chicken Fingers. They looked bigger on the menu board - they were actually quite small, with 4 of them fitting in a box which was around 3" x 4". They came with 4 packages of the Chick-fil-A dipping sauce which was kind of sweet. My wife was surprised at the small size of the chicken strips. They were smaller than other places. I had their spicy deluxe chicken sandwich with their waffle fries. The waffle fries were very good, nicely salted, and tasty. The spicy deluxe chicken sandwich was spicy, but not that great. The breading was pretty plain, and while the chicken was good, it was not WOW - I WANT TO COME BACK good. They have a nice play area, with a place for parents to sit and watch their kids play. The restaurant was nice and clean, and they even had a place to drop unused packets of their various sauces and ketchup and what not. Service was prompt, we ordered, got our order tent, sat at a table, and the food was out in a few minutes.

She was warm, attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the evening. She handled our group with ease, anticipated our needs, and made us all feel welcome. Outstanding service like Julia's is what turns a good meal into a great experience. Thank you, Julia--we'll definitely be back! The food was every bit as impressive as the service. Everything our group ordered was prepared well and served hot. The burgers were cooked exactly as requested and were absolutely delicious. I chose the grilled chicken with vegetables instead of fries--a healthier option--and it was tender, flavorful, and satisfying. One person in our party ordered the sturgeon special and couldn't stop talking about how delicious it was. Then came the dessert tray...wow! There were so many tempting choices that it was hard to decide. I had the berry layered cake, which was moist, flavorful, and the perfect finish to the meal. Another person chose the cheesecake, and the generous slice was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. Great food, generous portions, outstanding desserts, and exceptional service from Julia made this a great evening. We look forward to coming back!

The outer law was unable to merge to get to the window due to the other car. The employee at the window caught a massive attitude and was extremely disrespectful. when we went inside to handle the order the same employee wanted to talk down on us for the issue as if we did it "intentionally" to make them work harder. 10:10 recommend the food.

Deliciously prepared food... at a very affordable price-point. I went with the turkey burger, while my counterpart ordered a full-blown burger with a ton of toppings. We both got sweet potato fries and they were also delicious. The turkey burger was really good.

The outside of the restaurant is not what I expected for a local burger place, very cool look with brick and wood. It was noon on Friday and they were busy, but the line at the counter moved quickly.

Our food came out pretty quickly and the fries were hot and fresh. The bacon cheeseburgers were hot and fresh and had good flavor.
