    Quick service and great prices! I got a Chicago style hotdog, delish! My husband got a cheeseburger, delish! And we got milkshakes. My husband got the famous strawberry shake and we can see why it is famous. I got the coffee ice cream shake and it was so good. They have a great little patio to sit and eat. Loved it!

    Great mural!

    We kept seeing Nancy's on the way to the beach and knew we needed to stop by. The ice cream mural on the side of the building is so awesome and eye-catching! You walk up to order from the windows, and we picked up some Chicago dogs, a chocolate shake, and a cup of Unicorn Stars, which was a fun and colorful flavor featuring "sparkly glitter star candies and magical sprinkles," and it came with a fun color changing spoon! The staff was friendly and efficient, and there's a nice seating area just to the side of the building near some of the neighboring shops. Some are even under the overhang, so despite the fact that it had rained on the day of our visit, we had no problem finding dry seating. Cute place with a convenient location!

    My kids wanted sorbet but I am a sucker for coffee ice cream in a waffle cone, so that's exactly what I planned to order. I double backed to Nancy's, unsure where or what to do... when I originally walked by, there wasn't anyone there, but now the line wrapped around the corner... however, the line did move pretty quickly and the man taking the orders was very chill and easy to take orders. I listened to him take small and large orders, from ice cream to lots of hot dogs!!! There's a cute little outdoor eating area w umbrellas for shade but this was too good not to share!

    WRONG HOURS

    Stopped for late lunch. In a great location for the lake and shops. Cheeseburger, Philly cheesesteak, cheese curds, Chicago dog, Chicken wrap, pretzel. Ice cream, shake and float too.

    yummy!!! I got the buckeye blitz & mackinac island peanut butter fudge. It was amazing. They had so many unique flavors to choose from. I would love to return and try something different. Everyone else I was with were happy with their icecream & shake

    Large fry's

    The service was very poor. The fry's where hot that was a plus on top of the over priced food. For a tourist stop this is not a warm staff.

    We loved the ice cream but the root beer float was sub par. Could've used a better quality root beer. Scoop size of ice cream is generous. Nice color changing straw.

    Great ice cream. I had the chocolate peanut butter and it had Reese's peanut butter cups! Mini chocolate chip and cookie dough did not disappoint. Root beer float was also good. The thing that needs improvement is the wait. We waited quite some time for our order. Staff is nice. Picnic tables were clean.

    We went for ice cream, and enjoyed it! However, the ice cream was quite melty already when we got it.

    I love this place!…read more In our home, all of the adults are assigned a night when they have to prepare dinner. My night is Thursday. After working Summer School today from 7:30 to 4pm, I really was NOT feeling standing in front of a stove. I had a taste for a chili dog , so I headed straight to Carlson's Drive In when I got off work. I ordered 6 Chicago Dogs, 4 Chili Dogs with extra onions (I had one brought to me while I waited for my order), a cheeseburger with everything (one daughter doesn't like hotdogs) and a grilled cheese sandwich (her daughter doesn't either). I also had a frosty cold mug of root beer . The fact that most of the wait staff and some of the kitchen staff are MCHS students was an added bonus. I was confident that I would be taken care of. When I got home, the family tore into that food like a school of piranha . Carlson's Drive In got high marks from my family today! They ALWAYS get high marks from me!

I got the chili dog, fries and bug mug of root beer, and it was incredibly delicious, and what's best is the prices seem to be immune to inflation. The vibes of the area are your classic drive in style (we chose to sit at tables outside as opposed to stay in car though). I also nibbled on my family's burger, hot dogs, and chicken strips--all incredibly tasty. The service was timely, kind, and welcoming.

    Since Chicago is known for the Chicago-style hot dog and Italian beef sandwich, I knew I had to try…read moreboth while in town. Fortunately Portillo's offers both and it was recommended by locals and previous travelers to make this my one restaurant to try both. I arrived on foot on a Saturday before 10pm and there was a long line to order on the kiosks and a security guard by the door. The restaurant has two floors of seating with dated decor all around, assumingly part of the intended vibe of the establishment. The first floor seating was all taken but there were plenty of tables available on the second floor. I was able to try Portillo's hot dog and Italian beef sandwich. The hot dog included mustard, relish, celery salt, freshly chopped onions, sliced tomatoes, pickle, and peppers on a poppy seed bun. The paper wrapper was strategically wrapped around the Chicago dog inside out, knowing that the logo would be clearly visible when people take pictures of the unwrapped hot dog. I ordered a regular hot dog but probably should've ordered a jumbo hot dog for a dollar more since then regular was tiny; for comparison it was definitely smaller than a Costco hot dog. Although the toppings complemented the hot dog well, the bun was soggy from being wrapped in the paper for only a few minutes. The standard big Italian beef sandwich (slightly wet) was much larger for more than double the price of the hot dog, with no Portillo's branding on that wrapper. I was a little too excited to order this that I forgot to add sweet and hot peppers, but the sandwich still tasted very good. After ordering I realized I probably should've ordered the gravy on the side so I can dip the sandwich more, but again it was still very good. For dessert I tried the lemon cake slice and strawberry shortcake. The lemon cake was a little dry and really sweet and the strawberry shortcake had a little too much mascarpone cheese whipped topping for my liking, but of course I didn't have to finish it all. Portillo's is a good option for casual fast food and for travelers to try. I definitely prefer the Italian beef sandwich over the Chicago dog, but that is my personal preference. For a sweet treat, the strawberry shortcake is a nice option if no other dessert places are nearby. To save time during peak hours, it may be a good idea to order ahead on the mobile app.

    Don't order from here. First they send your order to another location…read more Then when I figured that out and cancelled and lost money they sent part of the order. They said they would credit me and never did. Awful service. So disappointed in them.

    November 6, 2024, approximately 2:41 P.M…read more I can understand why so many restaurants are going out of business if customer service is anything like I experienced at the "Boathouse Grill" in Michigan City, IN yesterday. My two granddaughter's and I stopped there for a sandwich after shopping at the Lighthouse Mall. To say the woman that took our orders was unfriendly, is an understatement. She was an older woman with short hair. My granddaughter ordered a Patty Melt on white bread, this woman's response was "we don't have white bread." My granddaughter asked for a substitution because she doesn't like rye bread. Answer: "that's all we have." Did not offer to put it on a hamburger bun, which is white bread. I ordered a salad. I was told "no salad's today." I then ordered a fish sandwich and a cheeseburger, with two sides of mayonnaise, one for fish and one for cheeseburger. The woman who was cooking brought one side of mayonnaise. When I told her I needed another, her response "I already gave you one." The food was okay, service TERRIBLE. I would never go back. I'm in the restaurant business and would never treat customers the way we were treated yesterday. And to add insult to injury, I was charged .50 for a cup of water. This is the worse $27.90 (my check) that I will never see again! Thelma J. Garcia tgarcia701@comcast.net
