A glass display case sits empty at the hostess station displaying nothing but lots of smudgy fingerprints. A fitting analogy to the current Courier unfortunately. Patrons come in for lunch and wait several minutes for somebody to seat them. The service suffers from understaffing. I ordered a Veggie Dagwood sandwich. Remember Dagwood Bumstead and his multi layer skyscraper sandwiches?? Not here! This was more of a very dry bread sandwich. Where are the layers of veggies? The layers of cheese? The alfalfa sprouts? The sauce? My sandwich was served with a stale pickle. I asked if I could order a side like potato salad. They had coleslaw - $4 up charge. The place needs to be cleaned up! Put a little pride into the menu.

I've been eating at Portillos for over 30 years. I tell everyone about them. I don't know if times…read moreare tough or what but it's not the same. Or maybe it's just the location. I ordered a big beef. And it had close to the same amount of beef a regular had on it. When I ordered the kid that was at the register seemed lost. How do you want your beef. To me there's three options. Dry, wet, or dipped. I said wet he said so dipped. No just a little extra wetness. So you want it on the side no. Just wet. So on the side. So I had to add my own gravy. Why do I have to make my sandwich. Cause if I did I would've put a lot more beef on it. Then they completely had the bathrooms closed for cleaning how's one supposed to wash their hands after eating.

While looking up restaurants once I got settled in at my hotel, I was surprised to find that there…read morewas a Portillo's restaurant in the city of Champaign, Illinois. With it being one of my favorite restaurants back in Chicago, it completed my search for a restaurant. I ended up ordering online via Uber Eats delivery being that I was comfortably settled in for the day, plus watching college football. Portillo's Champaign had a 4.4 rating out of (1,500+) which was the assurance I needed that I would have a quality experience. On the menu, I was interested in ordering either the Plant-based Garden Dog, or the Breaded Whitefish Sandwich. Out of both, I ended up choosing the Plant-based Garden Dog, which is highly a favorite of mine at Portillo's. Whether it be Grubhub or now Uber Eats, I love ordering online because it is convenient. Much praise to the Uber Eats delivery driver, Alexis, for arriving with my order in a reasonable time, as well as meeting me in front of the hotel as requested. And Alexis also confirmed that it was me grabbing the order, which I cannot thank him so much for. My mouth salivated as I took pictures of my order to share on yelp. The Crinkle-cut French Fries were the first item I started with eating and oh my they did not disappoint! While my eyes were peeled to the Georgia Bulldogs vs Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets college football game on television, my fingers were grabbing French Fries by the second to eat. As a lover of the Plant-based Garden Dog, these eyes of mine lit up prior to taking my first bite. A bite that left me satisfied as my tastebuds were met with the delicious garden dog and its toppings while at the same time poppy seeds fell from the bun. I swear! I can eat a Plant-based Garden Dog each week and still be satisfied with it like I never had it before, tehehe. Now for dessert, the Chocolate Cake Slice was the cherry on top to a satisfying dinner ordered from Portillo's. I would be lying if I said that my mouth was not salivating prior to sticking my fork inside of it. And each forkful of that moist chocolatey piece of heaven left my mouth salivating along with a devilish grin on my face; there was no chocolate left behind, I swear. Being that I had a great ordering experience, I would surely order from Portillo's Champaign again when in the city of Champaign whether it be Uber Eats delivery or takeout.

Jimmy John's is by far the best sandwich shop in CU. The portions are large, the service is extremely fast, the workers there are friendly (try getting the same service at a subway...), and the price is not outrageous. Best of all, they are open late, so my bf and I can stop by this place at any time! read more

Chain bagel store for a morning sandwich…read more The bagel itself is a standardized version of the New York style. I ordered a few plains to take home. I was pleased to find that the bagel had a decent chew and the flavor was mildly yeasty. The dough however was very springy and snapped back to its original form with each bite or tear, partly because it was drier than a typical bagel. (It has the mouthfeel of industrial bread products, engineered to please, but just a little off.) The bagels too had a modest crust, though it offered no crisp to the bite. This bagel has the exact amount of structure to support a hefty sandwich without turning into a Brooklyn jawbreaker. Get it with eggs and bacon -- or some other tref breakfast combo -- to go.

Yesterday, after nearly five years, I went back to Einstein Bagels--and unfortunately, it was a…read morehuge disappointment. I ordered four bagels: two Asiago, one Chilli, and one Spinach, along with two plain sides of cream cheese. I waited more than 30 minutes for my order to be toasted. While I was waiting, I saw one of the employees putting cream cheese directly on one of the bagels. I immediately pointed out that I had asked for the cream cheese on the side. Another employee then told me that the order being prepared was not mine. I was reassured that my order was still coming, so I made the mistake of not checking the bag before leaving. Once I got home, I discovered that the Spinach bagel was missing, and one of the other bagels had cream cheese on it--even though I had specifically requested it on the side and had been told that the order I saw being prepared was not mine. After waiting over 30 minutes, paying for food I didn't fully receive, and getting an order that wasn't prepared as requested, I felt completely ripped off. With so many food businesses struggling or closing, experiences like this make me wonder why customers would continue coming back. At this point, I certainly wouldn't miss Einstein Bagels if it eventually closed permanently.
