The opening excitement has died down and we had a T Mobile promotion for a free burger so we…read moredecided to try it again. The 4 stars is for the taste of the food. I liked the burger and the curly fries. They have a very large menu. The logistics of getting in and out of Schmale rd.as well as the pain points of going in for counter service rates a one-star rating for me. I did not figure in these factors into my rating. My best advice is to avoid going into the restaurant to order at the counter or to eat in the restaurant. There is no room to wait for your order to be prepared. The self serve beverage station and the order kiosks are right in the middle of where people wait for their order to be done. So it is continually "Excuse me..Excuse me..Sorry, I'm in your way." The restaurant was fully staffed and the workers were very nice. The ambiance of the eating area is poor. The booths have padding on the back but there is no padding on the seat. So you are sitting on a hard slap of formica. And of course if it is crowded, you may experience the overflow of people waiting for their counter order just hanging around your table. That is why I advise doing drive-through. I liked the food enough to try a different location. Getting and eating at a fast food place should not be this difficult.

First time in the Chicago area and I KNEW I had to make a stop at the famous Portillo's! Portillo's…read moreis an iconic Chicago fast food spot that locals swear by. Everyone I have met from Chicago absolutely loves this place and make sure to come here when they're back home. Their menu consists of a lot of Chicago staples such as the Chicago dog, Italian Beef, Beef & Sausage, along with burgers, chicken, salads, and their famous chocolate cake. There is certainly something on the menu for everyone. The interior is nostalgic and reminiscent of the Chicago street scene during the 20th century. There is a lot of vintage memorabilia around the eatery that definitely adds to the ambiance. Service is wonderful, very helpful, and they keep the restaurant clean. Ordering is easy, you can do it on a tablet/screen or at the kiosk. Food doesn't take too long to come out and is made to order. I had to get a Chicago dog with everything on it while I was here as that is one of the things they are most known for. My friend and I also split a large fry and onion ring. The Chicago Dog "everything style" includes mustard, relish, celery salt, freshly chopped onions, sliced red ripe tomatoes, kosher pickle, and sport peppers piled onto a steamed poppy seed bun. This was definitely one of the best hot dogs I've had! The snap on the hotdog itself was lovely and it had good flavor. The addition of all the Chicago Dog toppings worked so well together. This was certainly unique, but in the best way possible. Now both the fries and onion rings were out of the park. I'm a sucker for onion rings, and these were excellent. Not too heavily breaded or stringy, they were just how an onion ring should be. The fries were crispy and salted perfectly too. I will also note Portillo's isn't too expensive, especially considering the amount of food you receive. All in all, Portillo's lived up to expectations and I really enjoyed my meal here. I absolutely loved the retro interior as it was fun and captures the essence of Chicago culture. The service is great and they are very attentive. While I'm not usually a huge hot dog person, their hot dogs are an exception as tjeu high quality and stand above others. The sides are must orders as well, especially the onion rings! I will without a doubt be returning if I'm ever in the Chicago area. And next time I'll make sure to save room for their chocolate cake.

I thought both flavors were pretty good - Honey Thai Chili and Soy Garlic. There was extra sauce in the recess of the container for each flavor that I used a spoon to pour over the chicken which was necessary, especially for the Soy Garlic since the pieces were on the dry side otherwise. I didn't care much for the fried rice because there was too much sesame oil. The eggrolls were good and the included dipping sauce container was huge! The parmesan garlic fried corn was good too. Overall would try again but would avoid the rice plates and get the chicken by itself. Visit date: 3/13/26
