This is one of my favorite Portillos locations in the city. It's far enough away from city center to not be crazy crowded, the facilities are really clean, and have always had good experiences. I had two coupons free sandwich coupons today that I wanted to redeem and the cashier was super friendly and helpful making sure I could use both. It was a beautiful day out so we opted to eat outside on the patio. Solid quality as always. read more

Quick and easy fast food spot with a late night drive-thru. I ordered a hot dog, large fries, soda, and chicken noodle soup (comes with oyster crackers) for the road. All hit the spot for a late night snack except the soup - too salty. Thank you, Rayan, for the friendly service! read more

I order a jumbo sized Chicago style dog, with onion rings. The staff was very helpful and was able to correct my order, at first they gave me a chili dog. It is a very chill atmosphere, has an old Chicago look to it, with some classic Sinatra playing. read more

If you're in Chicago, you must try a Chicago dog. Portillo's does the job and, while it tastes good, it's not my favorite spot to get a Chicago dog. But it served a purpose and the dining room is kinda fun and kitschy. Also, the prices are very reasonable, I think it costs like $5-6 for the Chicago style hotdog. we ordered our meal at the kiosk so we didn't really interact with any employees. read more

Okay, so this place is an evil chain. Just had to get that outta the way. I LOVE THEIR VEGGIE DOG. All the fixings. Good with a side of cheese and fries. Great shakes. Here's my soul, friends! read more

Portillo's is always a Chicago staple, so I can always appreciate getting a nice Chicago Style hot dog to hit the spot here! I'm also a huge fan of their chopped salad since it's packed with lettuce, onions, blue cheese, bacon, and chicken. I also got to try their chicken tenders and onion rings recently, and I was a huge fan of their new giardinera sauce. It's tangy and flavorful, but I just wish it had more of a kick to it! The service is always amazing when I come to this location. They're quick and always get my order right. I met the marketing manager here once, and he was extremely friendly and welcoming. The ambiance is like most portillo's with a drive through and a ton of parking. It is on a busy corner, so it does get packed at times. I do enjoy that they have a lot of seating and that you can order on a kiosk. read more

This location is large, modern, and well lit. There are examples of the eclectic decor like some of the older locations that had more of that authentic personality. The taste and quality was pretty much the same as the other two locations I've been to (Taylor St, Chicago and Schaumburg). To order, there are a few kiosks near the entrance. HOT TIP, there is a Take Out window at the end of the main dining area which may be a good option. I'm not sure if our order was called out in a rhyming style (like the other 2 locations). Staff appeared to be friendly and professional. read more

Had a great dinner. Got our usual. Burger and beef Italian sandwich. It's the same as home, but always wondered what a location in Chicago would look like. Now we know, the same lol. read more

You know you're in Illinois when you see Portillo's! They offer staples such as Chicago style dogs and Italian beef sandwiches. I dined in with my family- all of us ordering a beef sandwich. It only came with beef- the peppers are extra. The beef was flavorful and bun was soft but did not justify an $11 price tag for a fast food sandwich. The restaurant was clean and staff provided my family's order in a timely manner. read more

Man oh man!! Portillo's is TOOOOOO GOOD. I wanted to go to Mr. Beef BUT didnt have the time so my colleague said you have to have Portillo's. Of Course I'm a skeptic so I am like it can't be that good. Welllll... Portillo's is TOO good. I kept hearing about the Italian beef and mannnnnn does that meat taste delicious. It is so tender. I had the sweet and spicy. What a great combo? And it really is NOT that spicy but it is good. That sweetnesss. The team was kind and kept the line moving. You can also watch them make your food which was pretty cool. It is a huge inside with and outdoor patio. It kind of reminded me of a carnival theme. It was really nice on the inside. Apparently the chocolate cake isa must so I have to try it next time with the Chicago hot dog. There's a huge parking lot and a clean bathroom. read more

This one is different - speakers and drive through windows; not attendants. Still works pretty well. Fast and efficient service, be careful with the curb. It's easy to curb the car. Be careful with the drive thru lanes. The layout is a little different because of the shape of the lot. Go get a dog or a salad. read more

Not sure why this location is getting the reviews that it's getting but every time I come I don't have issues with the food or service. I always order a whole chocolate cake here for pick up whenever we have some type of get together and it's always on point. The cake is ready when it's scheduled to be ready and it always tastes delicious. The restaurant itself is huge and there is always plenty of parking. It's a nice laid back atmosphere if you are looking to dine in, with plenty of space and tables to choose from. They have both booths and tables available. If you have never been to a Portillos, you order you food in the service line and they give you a number. Whenever your food is ready, they call your number and you grab your food from the counter and choose wherever you want to sit. They have the best cake, the chocolate is to die for and I also look forward to their lemon cake during the summer seasons. Don't leave without getting cake! read more

Solid food, have been here a few times and there hotdogs and sandwiches are good. I love their shakes. Food does take awhile to come out though even for small orders. Once waited for 15min just for a small fry. Restaurant inside is clean, staff are nice. read more

They do what they do well, like McDonalds. Dogs were ok, beef sandwich was just barely ok. Fries from a bag seriously no ok. Many better places to go. read more

Should be a 3.5. After reading the reviews, I understand what people are saying about your order being wrong. Check before you drive/walk away! You order on a kiosk and wait for your food to come out. We received a chicken sandwich instead of a burger. They were good about it when I went up to tell them, they made the burger right away. I really love the cheeseburger from Portillo's, and this time I got the one with onion rings and BBQ sauce on it. Next time I will just get the cheeseburger. My mom got the Italian beef and thought it needed more flavor. As always, the cheese fries are delicious. Seating- tons of seating. Lots of options for small and big groups. The restaurant is large. Parking - huge lot, you'll find a spot. read more

Service was good and the vibe was aesthetically pleasing. We dined in and had the chopped salad. It was good but had lots of tomatoes, onions, and blue cheese. Next time, I'd order without the blue cheese. read more

Great spot,portillos has the best vibes and I love the food! Nothing ever misses and you always get great service! A true Chicago icon

There's many locations available, we went to the one located in Downtown Chicago PORTILLO'S CHICAGO - ADDISON 3343 W. Addison Street Chicago, IL 60618 There was a large parking lot available which was great being in a downtown location. We ordered almost everything, the Italian beef sandwich which they soaked in its au jus before they wrapped it up. The Chicago dogs has all the fixing if you like it loaded. We tried the chopped salad, portion was huge! Plus the milkshake, we had the Strawberry & the chocolate cake shake, my daughter had that & said that it seriously tasted like chocolate cake! If you are ever in Chicago, do try Portillo's. It is Chicago's iconic fast food chain. We loved the retro decorations in the restaurant. They are busy, be prepared to wait for your food, despite being busy, we managed to get a table for 8. read more

Small portion. Big price. Nothing special. DoesytKe cash in drive through. Why are they paying people to stand outside and take orders? Is that why the food is so expensive? I'm not sure what all the hoopla was about this place. read more

Portillo's Chicago - Addison - $10 for this. No I didn't get any of it before I took the pic. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

You guys are straight up trifling. How is it when I use Uber Eats to order your food everything is jacked up in price? So much so that even the math doesn't make sense. Explain to me how $4.25 +$1.15 equals $7.10?!? Ok... and then when it gets delivered THERES NO FRIES OR CHEESE SAUCE. So naturally, I'm getting a refund for just those items. I get $3.30... LESS THAN THE F_CKING LISTING PRICE. Yall are f_cking scam. Don't spend your money here. read more

I went here last night thru drive in. I ordered a meal, and two strawberry short cakes. I got home and the cakes were so dried out, you couldn't even eat them. I called tonight, spoke to the guy who picked up the phone, no apology, Just said they were probably prepared in the morning. What do you want me to do? No compensation at all. After I called back a second time; I threatened to dispute it with my bank, and he finally gave in, and sent me a coupon. He wanted a receipt. I have a bank statement. Customers shouldn't have to go through ordeal. read more

Portillo's forgot my salt and pepper they should of gave me 2 they gave me 20 but at lest the food was yummy today I kinda it

Me and wife stopped by to have a Chicago dog and Italian steak sandwich. I got the classic Chicago dog without relish or peppers and wife got the chili cheese dog. It came with fries and soda. We also ordered an Italian beef to share. I have to admit the Chicago day was delicious. I didn't think all those ingredients would work but they do. Would definitely order another one. The chili cheese dog was good but nothing amazing. The Chicago dog was definitely better. The fries were also delicious. The Italian beef I thought was great. Wife didn't care for. So that one was split. The other items we both agreed on. All in all we both agreed we would go back and thought it was really good especially for the price. read more

This is the 4th bad experience I've had at this location. I've given them multiple chances because everyone is human but I've had enough. I am a Chicagoan that has been eating at Portillo's for over 20 years. This is the only location I've ever had a problem with. Tonight I ordered a beef, extra dipped with peppers. I got a dry "gravy bread without the gravy or peppers." Gravy bread is basically a bread dipped with a very small amount of beef for about $3. That's not what I paid for. I paid $9.50 for a disappointment. From my experience, I do NOT recommend. Please go somewhere else read more

This location always undercooks their French fries. Even when requesting well done fries. Fries should be golden not white and flimsy. So disappointing, EVERY time. read more

First time in Chicago so I had to grab Portillos. Chicago dog was good, nothing insane but it was yummy. I liked the hot pepper inside. Fries were crinkle cut and fine. We ordered a side of cheese sauce that enhanced everything, HIGHLY recommend. Finally the Italian beef sandwich (ordered with mozzarella cheese, and sweet and hot peppers). Freaking delicious. I'd recommend subbing the mozzarella for the melted cheese, it's basically nacho cheese but I think that'd make everything better. Finished with a chocolate cake shake - probably 6,000 calories but it was good. Get a small because we ordered a large and barely drank a quarter of it. read more

I'm not sure why I thought that if I ordered carry out I could pick it up through the drive-through. I think I probably am the only one who had this thought, but in case there are others, that's not how it works; you have to go inside to pick up. Like really almost every other place. However, what's significantly different from other places is that they have the food out on shelves but there's someone there to see your ID to make sure you're claiming your order. I haven't experienced that at Chipotle or whatever. Since I'm updating this review anyway, let me mention that the salted caramel shake (a special in September/October) is amazing and you should get one. They have also introduced something called The Rodeo Burger, and it's not bad if you like a BBQ burger. read more

I can't come to Chicago and not visit! This was my first time at this location though. I particularly like the car hanging from the ceiling! I got my same order as always. Big beef sandwich with cheddar cheese, sweet and hot peppers, small fries, large Coke. Fast food just does not get any better. read more

Portillo's in my opinion is overrated, but I still get the urge to eat at Portillo's from time to time. Out of the few locations I have visited. This location by far has been amazing. Staff works fast, the food is fresh and in my opinion the best Shakes in Chicago.. Definitely my go to spot for a Chicago Hot Dog read more

Pretty epic! Chicago dog had Vienna snap and forgot to get peppers on my Italian beef but got it slightly wet so gravy and quality of beef made up for it. read more

There's never any complaints about the food. They have the best hotdogs, hamburgers, beef, and in case you didn't know they have Ribs. And they're fantastic too. The only thing is you can't order them in the drive through. Either order them on line or go in. It's worth the wait. Whenever I use the drive through even if it's crowded it moves fast. The workers are friendly and pleasant to talk to. If you use the dining area they have workers keeping the tables clean. Very nice ambiance. Love all the the pictures and stuff on the walls. Can't go wrong with portillos. Thanks Jim G. read more

CHICAGO - Good dogs, dawg. Wife and I blue lined here specifically to go a Portillo's, which my wife long has been a fan of. Did. Not. Disappoint. Big location on West Addison, tons of seating. Very clean and well kept. Has a sort of Chicago-Prohibition-era decor theme. Food came quickly. Staff helpful and friendly. We got a regular Chicago dog ($4.29) - good, loaded with toppings, a nice 'snap' to the Frank itself. Solid. We got an Italian beef sandwich slightly wet. ($8.94 with extra sweet peppers). Great bread. Did not skimp on the beef or peppers. Small onion rings ($4.39), nice crunch. A chargrilled Maxwell Strret Polish sausage ($6.59) - again, not chintzy in the sausage size. Lots of carmelized onions. Wife was a fan of the chocolate cake slice ($4.19). Moist. Is this Morton's-level dining? No. But for dogs and beef sammies wrapped in paper on a tray, this (chef's kiss). 4.25 stars. read more

Ok so last 2 weeks I've been on a sushi binge enough to get me a Yelp Sushi Sensei Badge (go figure). So this week I've been on kind of a beef binge. I ate at Mickeys Drive in on Mannheim, Michael's on North Ave & Oak Park, The Original Al's Beef (excellent) & now Portillo's on Addison. My wife has been talking about how good their burgers are so for a change I decided to try one instead of the beef. I got a double bacon cheddar burger (meh). I can honestly say that I was totally underwhelmed by it. They sprinkled shredded cheddar cheese, thin flimsy bacon pieces on top, & added tomato, lettuce & Mayo. Well at least I tried it The whole time I was eating it I was thinking I should have gotten the beef w/Jardinere peppers. Ahhhh live and learn grasshopper. This is why once I find something that I really like I usually don't like to deviate. Cest La vie read more
