    Got an opportunity to try this place where I have never been, including any other locations. Thanks to yelp for that. Experience/Ambiance: As soon as you see this place from outside, you would notice some great design exterior and on entering you will be wowed on how this restaurant is built. Tons of classics decor all over. It is to an extent that it feels a little overwhelming for first timers. It took me a few seconds to see everything and figure out where to start the order from. But very unique place overall. Location: It's right around arrowhead town center neighborhood and so perfect one for many customers or residents in neighborhood. Easy to reach here and plenty of parking outside as well. Food: Got a chicken burger with coke that was included as part of the yelp elite event. On top got a chocolate cake slice that seemed to be their house favorite. As soon as taking first bite, an evident difference compared to all other chicken patty you would bite. It is very juicy and it even squirted on my table and my jogers. It makes me think how is that even possible. Overall burger was very good. Nice tasting and feels premium. Chocolate cake was heavily loaded with chocolate and maybe the best thing that I took. Great food options and combo available here. Price: Very reasonably priced in my opinion for the taste and quality. Combo that cost less than $10 in total is value for the money for sure. Service: There are no table service. You start from one side, order food, and pickup food once your number is called for readiness. However, staff was very nice. Plenty of seating available indoor and outdoor. Overall take: For the price factor, I wouldn't mind going here for good tasting food. Scope of improvement: They offered an entree and a drink as part of yelp event, why not fries as well just to make it a complete combo. A small addition would may have means more to many in my opinion.

    Had a great experience at Portillo's in Glendale! The restaurant is quite large with really cool 50's diner decor. The huge guitar light on the ceiling is a great touch! We ordered at the counter, but there were kiosks available for self serve. The cashier was super friendly and gave us some tips on his favorite items before we ordered. My husband and I both decided to get the spicy chicken sandwich and shared a side of onion rings. The spicy chicken sandwich was very good and the chicken was freshly fried to order. The aioli was a nice touch as well. The onion rings were super good and had a lot of flavor! Overall we would definitely go back and try a hot dog or beef sandwich as we noticed many folks ordering these as it's what Portillo's is known for.

    Charbroiled cheeseburger very good

    Update June 2025: Never had their burger before so this time tried it and the charbroiled really does add additional flavor. Fries still mighty pale and wish they would be golden. Chocolate cake nice and moist and not too sweet. Jadah was very helpful making sure I got my birthday deal cake and answered all my questions. As always, fun atmosphere with all the time warp 50s decor, so scrap the plastic straws and plastic ketchup cups and let's go retro paper!

    Portillo's is a chain place that focuses on selling Chicago style food. Their menu consists of hot dogs, beef sandwiches, chicken sandwiches, burgers, salads, pastas, and shakes. Their interior design is quite aesthetically pleasing and is redolent of Johnny Rocket diners. You can either make an order with a real person or with a machine. The service is amiable enough and there's plenty of places to sit. I tried out a spicy chicken sandwich and a chocolate cake shake. The sandwich was only mildly spicy but was serviceable. I liked that the large shake sizes are larger than a large normal drink. I wish I had ordered a chocolate shake instead as the chocolate cake shake tasted more like a mixture of vanilla and they actually put a cake in it; I found most of it at the bottom of the cup.

    We've been to pretty much all the portillos in the valley and this location had to have been the most inviting and unique one. The staff was very friendly, helpful and attentive. Food came out quick and was delicious. We had ordered the jumbo dog and polish dog with onion rings. Definitely would recommend trying this location!

    Great decor. It has a 50's diner retro feel Excellent food. The beef and Italian sausage was nice and moist. The grilled chicken was flavorful. The minus star was due to how loud it is in the restaurant. It was a very busy lunch crowd and it was difficult to have a conversation without yelling. Not sure how that could be remedied.

    5/5 food, 5/5 chocolate shake. If you ever get a cheeseburger from here, make sure you get it on brioche bread! I added bacon to mine for a fat crunch. Service was outstanding! Our cashier made it easy for us to order. Ambiance takes me back to the 90's in rockstar form, pretty groovy!

    Way overpriced and the food quality was not the best. Our onion rings were overcooked and our sandwiches were somehow cold.

    This gem is hard to find. It does not face Bell Road. Wraps are Greek to me. According to AI…read moreOverview the term means " a food dish made of a flatbread and filling". It's use is correct. It's application is not, however associated with Greek food. This makes it still harder to find. I found it once and loved it. Then it was lost for a long time. Now its location is easy to get to. There is plenty of parking. Just keep in mind that the name is "Greek Wraps" not usually, how we think of Greek Food. Greek Wraps sells a seven inch Gyro and a 10 inch one. The meat sliced thin, piled on a pita, with lettuce and tomato under Yogurt sauce. If you want a meatless meal order Falafel. It's flavor is robust but it doesn't have any meat in it. Beverages come in a large cup. You get to pick from three kinds of Coke and at least four other drinks. They come in one size: large. Greek Wraps is well established business. It's clean and service is brisk the atamospher is casual. The staff is pleasant and professional. They would get five stars from me, but I cannot in good conscience do so. The bathroom was clean, but the door handle did not lock. I would bet that if I were back in a week I'd find the bathroom door lock fixed. It's not a week from now, and I do so with apologies to the management, who I think highly of. They get four stars for now.

Her excellent service made our dining experience even better. Picazzo's is absolutely incredible. I love that they offer both vegan and non-vegan options, making it easy for everyone to find something they'll enjoy. My boyfriend and I ordered several dishes so we could sample a variety of items, and every single bite was delicious. We tried the vegan meatballs with marinara, the vegan meatball mushroom pesto pasta, the Naples Margherita pizza, the chicken piccata, and finished with the oatmeal apple pie served with gelato. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere was welcoming, relaxing, and perfect for a nice dinner. We were impressed from the moment we walked in until the moment we left. This was our first time at Picazzo's, and if every visit is like this one, we'll definitely be regulars. Since Tatum works Saturdays, we'll be coming back on a Saturday night and requesting her section. Thank you, Picazzo's, for such an amazing dining experience. We can't wait to come back!
