    Italian Sausage Sandwich
    Kelvin C.

    Always delicious! The sausage with grilled onions and mustard is the best. Snappy sausage is flavorful and juicy. The onions are sweet and is perfect with the sandwich. The chicken tender was meh. Nothing special, very underwhelming.

    This was on our must try places to eat considering 90% of the restaurants that we've tried lately have been terrible. Portillo's did not disappoint. We were in the area for a medical procedure that I was having done so we came in to finally try it. I ordered the cheese burger combo with no sauce it came just the way I ordered it. The meat patty was not over seasoned like alot of burger places and the French fries were served nice and hot not too salty. My boyfriend ordered the same thing and enjoyed it alot. We didn't get a chance to try the chocolate cake I was already higher than a kite from being sedated from my neck injection and just really needed to lay down. We loved the decor inside the store itself was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. I'd recommend the Gilbert location they don't seem to disappoint and it's great for large groups.

    Recently I added some meat back in to my diet, and Portillo's hands down has the best chicken sandwich! The drive thru was both friendly and fast. The exterior is very clean, and looks to be a newer location. I'll definitely return when in the area or stop at one of their other locations as they have a plant-based dog I do when avoiding meat or this when I can tolerate some meat. A great meal no matter the choice!

    I love me a good Chicago dog! It always brings back memories from my childhood. Portillo's makes a decent dog. All the toppings were fresh which made it good. The hotdog didn't have much flavor and kind of disappeared in each bite. The fries were also decent. I tried hubbies Maxwell polish and it was good. If I return, I'll see if I can swap out the polish for the hotdog. Loved the store decor and oldie but goodie music. Takes you back in time. As I type, I think I may go grab a chocolate shake to go. I'm sure it'll be a sweet ending to a sweet day date. If the shake is on point, I'll leave the review as is. If it's not, I'll come back to update it LOL.

    This is how the Beef & Cheddar Croissant looked at first glance. Where's the cheddar?!

    I'm generally a fan of Portillo's. I like this new location since they have an abundance of booths and offer touchscreens for ordering. The Good: *I love their chili cheese dogs. They have generous amounts of chili, the dog has a good snap to it and the poppy seed bun is always fresh. *I joined their rewards program and was pleased to see items drop into my account - like a free slice of cake for my half birthday and a free Italian Beef sandwich for no reason at all. We really appreciated that. *I attended an event to try their salads (something I normally wouldn't order) and was pleasantly surprised at how fresh and good they were. The Not So Good: *I tried something different (the Beef and Cheddar Croissant) and was quite surprised by the lack of cheese on it. I even went up and asked an employee because at first glance, it looked like someone barely sprinkled any on it. They explained that they put most of the cheese wrapped inside the beef but even after I dug around it seemed minimal. For an ingredient that receives co-top billing in the sandwich I thought that was kind of a ripoff and probably wouldn't order it again. My husband and son love the Italian sausage and Italian beef, and since I enjoy the chili dog and the great rewards program I'm sure we'll be back.

    Food - Italian beef. I thought it had good flavor and wasn't too salty. The bread had a nice spongy texture to it. The bread wasn't soggy. The beef didn't have a lot of fatty pieces, which I liked. Here's how they describe it on their website. "[Their] famous, homemade, Italian beef is slow-roasted for 4 hours, with a blend of Italian spices, thinly sliced, and served on fresh baked Turano French bread. Customized to your liking by adding home-cooked sweet peppers, hot giardiniera peppers, and as much of [their] secretly-spiced gravy as you'd like! The peppers are extra. You pay extra for the peppers. They also say the following on their website. "The standard sandwich is served by splashing a bit of [their] flavorful, secretly-spiced gravy on it. Some like their sandwich "dipped," which means [they] dip the whole sandwich in [their] gravy. You can also order it "dry," with very little gravy. Why do [they] call it gravy? Because it's actual gravy, just like grandma used to serve: [They] use the beef's natural gravy that comes off of it while roasting for four hours." Their gravy is good. It is not thick. I found it to have a more runny texture, which I did not mind. The gravy had flavor and was not overly salty. I recommend getting it on the side so your Italian beef sandwich doesn't get soggy. If you eat fast that you can get it dipped or wet. Atmosphere - No strange or strong odors or smells. I did not visit the restroom. It was a little busy inside. Many the tables were filled. Service - I was able to order on their electronic kiosk at the front. I loved the large screen. The service here was fairly quick. Order and pay at the counter or kiosk. Self seating. You pick up your order at the second window. Parking - Surface parking lot. No parking meter or parking structures. Would love if they have covered parking with solar panels or plants in the future. Unique - Extremely large kiosk offering screens. Loved it. Did not see a health rating on Yelp. I like seeing the restaurant health ratings. Seemed clean and organized when I visited.

    Pretty cool. Quick stop - I had never been inside a Portillo's. The last time I ordered from one in Tucson they got my order wrong and I couldn't eat my sandwich because they added cheese. I went with a coworker, we both enjoyed ourselves. We didn't wait long. My first time in San Tan village.

    Can't get enough of this location. This was a random pull into the drive-through to grab an Italian beef and a Chicago style hotdog. On point as always.

    Ordered catering at the tune of $450. They were supposed to set it up after delivery but did not. The meatballs and sausages were burnt. Left a message for a callback and haven't heard a thing. Won't be ordering catering again.

    Chicago-Style Hot Dog
    Agrin R.

    The hot dog itself was average. I tried the chili-cheese and the Chicago-style. Their relish tasted funny and the fries were way too salty They call out your order number through an intercom service that is worse than any airport, you can't understand it at all. Do yourself a favor and go to "Ted's Hot Dogs" in Tempe if you want a tasty hot dog

My husband and I came in for a light dinner after a movie last night. We got our food and were just sitting, enjoying our meal when Chester walked by with a couple plates of sweet potato fries and I made a comment only to my husband about how good they looked. To my surprise less than 5 minutes later Chester came over and dropped off a plate of fries at the table for me.

The atmosphere is upbeat, bright, and welcoming with a really good energy whether you're stopping in for lunch, dinner, or meeting up with a larger group. The setup works especially well for groups since there's plenty of seating and the ordering process keeps things moving even when it's busy. One thing they do very well is efficiency without losing hospitality. They have both a dine-in ordering counter and a dedicated to-go counter, which seems necessary because this place stays packed. Even during busy times, the staff stays friendly, attentive, and organized. You can tell there's real attention paid to each order and that management understands how to run a smooth restaurant operation. The menu has a lot of solid choices whether you want something lighter, comforting, vegetarian, or protein-packed. Portions were satisfying, and the broccoli deserves its own mention -- somehow simple but absolutely addictive. My only real note is that pricing feels a little high for an order-at-the-counter style restaurant. That said, the quality, atmosphere, and overall experience do make it easier to justify once in a while.

You place your order at the counter, & they bring it out to you. The girl behind the counter was friendly & sweet. She was also the person who brought our food to us. Hubby got the California BLT. I got the crispy chicken sandwich & made it a combo for hubby & I to share. For a side we got the onion rings. Hubby real liked his sandwich. The ice tea was really good as well. My chicken sandwich was good. We didn't like the onion rings very much. You get 4 large onion rings. The batter is thin. However, it was falling off the onion ring. The reason for only 4 stars is due to the price of the chicken sandwich. It was almost $17 for the sandwich alone. Plus a charge for the onion rings & an additional charge for the iced tea. I don't see us coming back here. There isn't one close to our house & it's too expensive.

The interior is open, bright and clean...the workers must do a good job cleaning up regularly after their guests. I struggle digesting fatty ground beef so I opted for their fish combo with fries and a drink. My wife ordered chicken strips with toast and fries. She almost ordered breakfast food which they offer all day. The counter service was very friendly. We found an open booth and they have many condiments available. Unfortunately, our food was bland. The fish batter has no flavor (better than super salty but barely) and my fries were tasteless. My wife's chicken strips were pressed and looked decent but again no flavor. Maybe we ordered the wrong items but first impression was plain Jane. As everything else was favorable I'll likely try this place again and get a burger or chicken sandwich. I will also check Yelp to see if others rave about any entrees here.
