Pretty good food. The Italian Beef is where most of the hype surrounding Portillo's rests, and…read morewhile good, I'd actually recommend their burgers. Personal preference I suppose. Ask for a well done burger so it can have a little bit of char and you're in for a treat. Also-- I'd be doing a grave injustice to any potential readers if I didn't mention the cheese fries. The good thing about their cheese fries is they don't come with cheese on them lol; you get it in a small container. Dip and destroy!

Tom & Jerry's Very…read moredisappointing experience. The food we ordered was not good and went mostly uneaten. The chicken was extremely dry, the fries were flavorless, and the ribeye sandwich was cut into small pieces and was tough to chew. I called the restaurant to let them know about the quality of the food. Alex told me a refund would be issued and said the manager approved it. Later in the same phone call, the manager agreed to the refund and then a different manager reversed course, saying the food would need to be brought back. By that point, the food had already been thrown away because it was not edible. I did take photos of the food in the garbage and will be including them with this review. What was most frustrating was not just the poor food quality, but the inconsistent and contradictory response afterward. I reached out to give the restaurant an opportunity to address the issue and instead received mixed messages and no resolution. Clear follow-through from management would have gone a long way in resolving this experience

Five stars. Not just for the chicken -- though it's great -- but because the Raising Cane's in…read moreDeKalb, Illinois is home to a miracle of modern engineering: the loudest restroom stall door on Earth. This isn't hyperbole. This door doesn't simply close -- it announces itself with the fury of creation. It's a blast so thunderous it could part clouds. When I tried to shut it, the resulting sound wave nearly knocked the sauce cups off the counter. My grandpa, who's lived through enough history to be unshakable, heard it and went pale -- said it sounded like "the sky itself falling." The entire restaurant froze. Fry cooks paused. Toasts trembled. For a full five seconds, everyone in that Cane's shared a single, reverent silence. And that's when it hit me: this door is not just loud -- it's holy. It deserves pilgrims. People travel the world to see the Grand Canyon, to visit the pyramids, to circle the Kaaba in Mecca. But one day, I believe they'll come to DeKalb -- not for the chicken tenders (though they are solid) -- but to experience The Door. To stand before it in awe. To hear its unearthly thunder and whisper, "I was here." You don't visit this Raising Cane's. You make a pilgrimage to it. You bring your friends, your family, your earplugs. You witness something primal and transcendent -- a door that humbles all who hear it. Five stars. A divine experience in fast-food form. Come for the chicken, stay for the revelation.

The chicken was super tasty and I loved the block of feta. Although, for 15.00, I could get double the salad and chicken and get pita bread at another local Greek restaurant. I would suggest adding more to the salad for the price of 16.50. I will try something different next time but I think my husband will stick with the Gyro dinner and we will just ask for more sauce and pita bread.

New day, new review…read more We hadn't visited in a while (time marches on) and I had a burning taste for the Dirty Bird. So back we went. The theme is still the same - CHICKEN EVERYWHERE! It's clear, and they love chicken. I mean they REALLY love Chicken! First off, they are FAST. They were very busy - almost every table filled and they kept filling after people left. After we placed our order, our chicken (two Baby Bird meals) came out HOT and FRESH within around 7 minutes. With my appetite, the Baby Bird is the right size, and I have a big appetite for their chicken. Service was great as well - our drinks were checked, and the server was very pleasant. What a great place to visit in Downtown Sycamore! The drink menu is still impressive, and they even have a Whiskey Acres Bourbon-infused barbeque sauce.

My friend ordered the soup flight(only available in the fall) and I chose fried pickle burger. (I know a burger at a chicken place) the soup flight had three cups of the soups of the day and a four cup of the brisket chili. It also came with a grilled cheese sandwich. Plenty of food! My deep fried pickle burger was a thick patty, crunchy onions and 2 thick deep fried pickle chips with a dill sauce on top. The burger was juicy and the toppings were delicious with a little crunch. The Dirty Chicken will be a stopping point on my return trip to Sycamore!

Food wise, oh was this place good. My wife ordered The New Yorker with corned beef, pastrami, swiss and spicy brown mustard on marbled rye, and I had their Horseradish Roast Beef & Cheddar, which had black angus roast beef, sharp cheddar, red onions, and horseradish sauce on a toasted ciabatta. Listen carefully when you make your order - they ask you if you want a pickle. The pickles are good. My wife went with their Choose 2 option, and got a half a sandwich and a cup of soup. I got the regular sandwich with a bag of Ms. Vickers Salt and Vinegar chips. While they don't have the fountain where you can get it, the staff makes regular tours and offers free refills for soft drinks, and also asks you if your food is okay.
