    I got the two hot dog meal, sm fry & soda & cheese for fries. The hot dog i modified to my liking.

    Friendly greeting. Quick service. Food was good. Cute place. Also has quick grab & go options & a mini store area with Portillo socks, cups, bibs, peppers & relish & their deserts.

    Ordered three (3) Italian sausage sandwiches and three out of the four (4) was overcooked. They tasted old as if they were prepared earlier and reheated. We went around 1115am and we probably got what they had left over from the previous day. It looks like they attempted to cover it up by overloading them with the onions and peppers. I usually love my experiences here but today was very unacceptable. And this is twice I've experienced a problem eating at this location so as of today this will be my last time dining here. There are other places to grab a fresh Italian sausage in Tampa

    Double cheeseburger

    Got a double cheeseburger with all of the fixings, including onion, lettuce, tomato, and pickle. It came up to around 11 bucks. There are two pick up windows when you drive around the building, go to the second one if it is open. Food is made to order so be prepared to wait. There's usually also someone outside to take your order and you're able to pay with them too if you have a card. Burger was everything that I wanted and more. Although I did not get it on this visit, the garden dog, which is a vegan option is also very good.

    Inside
    Brittany M.

    Came in for dinner with the family. It was about an hour before closing. The inside wasn't too busy and it was pretty clean. They have kiosk to order at now which was nice because you can put your number in for rewards and also set your own modifications to your food as desired. After we ordered our food, we waited not very long though probably 10 minutes at the most. When the order was ready, they had our drink cups in our food all on the trays. We decided to eat outside and the weather was still hot, but it was doable. I got the spicy chicken chop salad and a large fry with the side of cheese sauce. Everything was delicious and definitely fresh.

    First time visiting, and I'm already excited to come again. Came for a friend meetup, and glad to report all of us (5) absolutely loved it. The interior was so much fun! Loved the decorations and the vibe the place is set up with. It's a very retro all-american style; can't ask for a better setting to enjoy hotdogs! The crew was very friendly too--they were fast with clean-up, kept the place tidy, suggested good spots for us to sit, and gave recommendations to my friends for tourist spots around the area. Although, the reason they had to suggest us sitting spots was because there was water dripping at two corners in the area we were sitting. I ordered the two hot dog meal and swapped the fries for onion rings. For the hot dogs, everything on, one with extra grilled onion. They were absolutely delicious. I wasn't expecting the amount of toppings, even a bit unsure when I first saw them, but everything was delicious. Two hot dogs were quite a good amount of food for me, but the whole munching experience with the flavors was impeccable. I loved the grilled onion too, but I have to say it made the hot dog and bun a bit too soggy and messy. I'm not a pickle fan, but it is nice each hot dog comes with a big wedge of pickle and a picked pepper. Onion rings are always a favorite, and the best thing about the onion rings here was they never got soft or soggy. Even after a good while--maybe an hour while we chatted--the onion rings had chilled down a bit but were still crunchy. Makes a great crispy noise with a bite kind of crunchy. My meal was very fulfilling. I didn't try other items yet, but based on the reviews from my friends, the burger is amazing and the chicken sandwich was so juicy and nice. They were only visiting florida for a week, but also mentioned wanting to visit again if they have the chance. If anything, I would say we were a little confused at the pickup counter. We were expecting dine-ins to be served on a tray and not still in the brown bag. I suggest making sure to hang around the counter and pay attention to the calling numbers. I signed up for the member program after seeing the free fries promo--I thought my table could share it. I was not able to redeem it for my order at the kiosk. That was a little bummer, but doesn't take away from the experience being absolutely great.

    Always a stop when we are up this way. Great service, cashier was very helpful with our orders. Food was great as usual. Dipped beefs are our favorite. It's a little messy but always hits the spot. Onion rings are good and crunchy. Can't wait to stop back up here again... until next time.

    Hot dog combo.... One chilli cheese one Chicago
    Andrew T.

    First time ever been to one of their locations and man someone has been gate keeping. This has to be one of my new favorite chains! The food was extremely fast out of the kitchen and the atmosphere inside was unique. If you haven't tried you are missing out. Can't say enough about this place.

    The Hot Dog
    Thomas M.

    Portillo's is a quick service style restaurant offering Chicago favorites like hot dogs and beef sandwiches. This was my first experience there and I was pleasantly surprised. Upon walking in, you will clearly see theming on the walls representing mid 1900s Chicago. The restaurant appeared clean and organized with clearly labeled "grab and go, order here and pickup" areas. I placed my order online before arriving and it gave me a 10 minute estimate. The estimate was accurate. Once I grabbed my food, I was able to seat myself at a booth. They also offer table and high top seats. We ordered the regular beef sandwich with hot peppers and the regular hot dog. Both were very satisfying. They offer a larger size of each for not much more, but I feel that the regular size is an appropriate serving for one person. We also got large fries for free for signing up for their loyalty program. The fries are crinkle cut seasoned with salt. I really enjoyed those also. I recommend Portillo's if you're looking for some Chicago style dogs or sandwiches and you want it quick.

    We had been to this Portillos years ago, they put 3 in the Tampa area & we hit all 3 at the time. I would say out of all the Fla ones I've been to, this is the best run one, observed a manager in the dining room making constant comments to either employees or another type manager. Food always so good, because we don't go to Portillos often (none in SWFL) we always get the beef sandwich dipped, cheese fries & split a Chicago dog. I also had a member perk for a cake & I got the strawberry shortcake, so good!

    Chicago Dog

    This restaurant serves great Chicago Style cuisine. I ordered an Italian Beef Sandwich, Jumbo Chicago Hot Dog, and Polish Sausage. All these foods had authentic Chicago flavors, and were delicious. The staff were very courteous and helpful. If you enjoy Chicago Cuisine, the restaurant is a must-try.

    This looks like every other Portillo's from here to Chicago. There is merch to buy along with your food. The difference with this Portillo's is that after you pay a premium for a "fast food" burger your food comes out cold. Not all food just the burgers. Your fries will be hot and so will the onion rings. Both delicious though. Now on to the burger. The burger has great flavored just not hot. The cheese wasn't melted at all. They replaced the burger, but then gave me an undercooked burger, and the manager is the one that took the burgers back originally, and she seemed to be annoyed that we have anything to say to her. Update: Zion, the manager. Is sooo very pleasant! He corrected the issue and because of him I would come back. His disposition and willingness to make everything right is the definition of customer service.

    Portillos is ALWAYS A WIN! Hubby and I ate here amd it was delicious! Love the Italian Beef sandwich and he loves the Grilled Chicken sandwich. The crinkle cut French Fries are always crispy and tasty. I absolutely LOVE their strawberry shortcake dessert too! I've been to several Portillo's locations in Illinois and this Brandon location is one of my favorite locations with the decor and ambiance. So cool!

We got our meal last night using UberEats. The price is average, but with an app deal it came out to only $6 (a steal!) My only disappointments came with the burgers themselves. The taste was great in the patty - really flavorful and filling. However, I paid extra for ketchup and lettuce on the Chris Style and barely got any (see photos). It was also suppose to have fries on top if you check the menu on the website. I think my actual burger had two. Nonetheless, it was still a good burger, even without receiving my desired add-ons. The Beast Style fries were a mess and okay at best compared to other places. A mixture of mayo, cheese, some spice, pickles, and an array of other ingredients. We added bacon but the recipe is more for a stomach ache then a delicious treat. Overall not bad, considering it comes from a ghost kitchen. I do recommend the burgers, but if you go in person make sure you get what you paid for.

Honestly the only thing that disappointed me about this burger was the LETTUCE. Or lack thereof. The burger itself is great. Smashed and grilled till crispy and juicy. I had mine Beast Style just the way it comes, I didn't add or take anything off. My son had a Chandler Style Burger and completely destroyed it. Delicious. The fries are probably better fresh, but that's on me, I did have to travel about 15-20 mins to bring it home. Other than that, I do wish I could order a single patty burger, but then it wouldn't be a Beast Burger, would it? I can't wait to go back.

When we walked in, there were plenty of open tables, yet the host sat us directly next to a table with a screeching newborn.

No complaints there. I ordered the mushroom Swiss burger medium rare, specifically asking for it to lean more on the rare side. What I received was the exact opposite. The burger was the most well‑done burger I've ever been served -- completely blackened inside and out. On top of that, there was a large chunk of raw, cold red onion sitting on it. The cheese was melted, the mushrooms were sautéed, the burger was cooked to death... yet the onions were somehow untouched. I've never had a burger assembled like that, and I wasn't a fan. I had planned to order the Brookie Sundae, but between the ambiance of toddlers shrieking like a pterodactyl and the burnt burger, it felt wiser to just close out and call it a night. Really disappointing for a place I normally enjoy.
