Welp I tried my VERYYYYY FIRST Portillo's hot dog on National Hot Dog Day and it was pretty good. Never had a Chicago dressed hot dog and to have it in Illinois took the cake. The sports peppers were fresh and juicy and the tomato slices set it off. I wanted a chili dog but they put beans in it so that was a hard pass for me. All and all great first time will try again if I am in the Peoria area. The service was nice can't complain the order taker was nice and tried to answer all my questions about which foods had pork in them. The ambiance was average nothing special complaints. read more

I always love getting food here. I remember as a kid always getting those hot dog buns with the poppyseeds on them. So, that kinda takes me back to my childhood.. the food is always fresh. I get two Chicago dogs and usually the Italian beef wet. And Auju on the side! Service is quick, doesn't matter if I do drive through or eat there. When I do eat inside I usually sit off in a corner to get some work done. The place always seems clean and not like they just wiped it down, but still clean. read more

It's been a long time since I've been here but my son wanted to go today. There wasn't a lot of people in line but we still waited quite a while before we could order. Then when we got to the counter to wait for our food we waited quite a while there as well. The meal was just okay, it wasn't necessarily cold but it wasn't really hot either. The worker asked if I wanted a cup of cheese to go with my fries and I said sure but unfortunately it didn't really help the flavor that much. It was actually nice to see that they had a lot of employees and they were doing their best. It was cool to watch them making the salads, nice to see they're freshly made like that. I'm not sure if I'll be returning anytime soon but I do really like the atmosphere, the pictures and decorations that they have up, makes it and enjoyable place to visit. read more

My order was taken wrong in the drive thru and when I went in to get it corrected they remade my shake but told me the didn't have straws behind the counter and made me walk to the other end of the restaurant to get one. I spent my whole lunch hour there. By the time I got my order fixed my food was ice cold and my shake was so thick I couldn't even use a straw. I won't be back to this location ever again. The other stores I've been to have always been stellar but the Peoria location needs a deep dive into the employees and management. read more

Had a delightful dinner here before leaving town. The Maxwell St. polish sausage is so good, loaded with grilled onions and mustard. My friend needed to order dogs to go to take home, they were able to keep all the toppings and the bun separate so no soggy dogs! And you can't beat a cake shake!! Food was quick and came out hot. read more

Portillo's Peoria - Char Grilled Maxwell Street Polish Sausage Fries Chocolate Cake Shake - Hot Dogs Near Me - Peoria, Illinois

Been to one in Chicago many years ago, but this was my first visit here. I went recently specifically for the Italian beef and Chicago dog. That's what I ordered, but even though there was a poster advertising, a Chicago dog combo, the lady at the register told me they don't have that combo. Kind of confusing. Anyway, I got the Chicago dog, onion rings and an Italian beef with hot peppers. The food was good. The atmosphere was decent as well. I'll be back imagine. read more

Its a nice place, it seems busy, and the friendly staff agreed to complement my order with a free salad, because of an issue with their point of sales system, it's a family friendly place! definitely loving all the sports memorabilia on the walls, read more

Messed up order 2 times! Went back a second time the order was STILL wrong! Do better! Handing out chocolate cake because you messed up the order! At this rate you will never have any cake left! read more

Love the dogs! Love the Italian sausage too. I get onion rings and a malt shake. I go a couple times a month. It's good food. read more

Very good service and I absolutely loved your chili dogs I give this place 10/10. Great locations. And service was fast

Was there today and got the Italian beef, fries and a drink. Hubby got hot dog, fries and a drink. I was wondering why it was so expensive and found out she rang the items up individually and not combos. Prob our fault, but we have never ordered there. We wound up paying like 35.00 for this. Live and learn... Very disappointed she didn't suggest the combo price. read more

Great prices for really good hot Italian beef sandwiches, Chicago hot dogs and chocolate cake. Bonus! Great fresh iced tea. It's busy. Be ready to wait a little bit. Lots of dirty tables, had to beg to get a cloth to wash. Recommended read more

We did a drive thru and got a couple of Chicago Dogs. They were fantastic. Service was out of this world. I know they have a lot more on their menu but we just needed something real quick and they delivered. Thank you Potillo's read more

It's Portillo's need I say more! Italian beef was perfectly dipped moist and delicious (just ask for dipped ) I got sweet and hot peppers on the side. Crinkle cut fries were good and hot. I also can't pass up their chopped salad, it is large enough to share. The house dressing is great. I used the drive-thru, only had to wait a bit while they made food fresh! read more

This store is trash. I was in line for over 30 minutes and there was only about six cars in drive-thru, I had an order dispute. She told me multiple times that she went to grab the manager to come out. She said she was coming right out. After about 15 minutes I had to call the store in drive-thru and she acted like she didn't know anything about it. When I arrived at the window she was clueless about coming outside. I asked for a name and she said her name was Josie. When I called on the phone they said there are multiple managers but when I asked Josie who was the manager in charge she said only she was. She could care less about customer service and just wanted me out of there as fast as possible. This is the second time I've been to this location in over 6 years and both times were horrible experiences. This stores trash to me. I'll go to steak 'n shake where there's a hundred less problems. Escalating to corporate. Peoria, IL read more

We tried this place wben it first opened and were disappointed. We have been wanting to try it again, 1 meal does not a fair review make. So tonight, here we are. This food I'm sorry to say is terrible. Nothing about the meal was appetizing. Soggy bread and hamburger bun, greasy sandwiches. Onion rings were hard and way over cooked. Fries were Luke warm. Peppermint shake was ok. Their ice cream isn't very good, the consistency is odd. Never again 2 meals, years apart and both times gross. read more

I don't know what this "corporate company" on the whole, is thinking. Got rid of the famous tamale. SERIOUSLY???!!! And forever pushing that warm cheese cup. Family owned Portillo's never had, or needed, a cheese cup. Have no idea what the Portillo's cheese cup excitement is all about. And the onion rings are now terrible. "Culver's" can get you some great onion rings...........cooked properly! Let's talk strawberry shortcake. No longer a go-to. Mostly just a bowl of whipped cream with some extremely pureed tidbits of "maybe", strawberries. Their survey on your receipt for a free large fry doesn't work, they don't send you a code and the restaurant will not give you the promised free fry without the code. In conclusion. If they are going to continue down this road of dismantling and changing the traditional Portillo's menu, then they can at least add more for the kids. Like mini corndogs, applesauce, etc. read more

I love Chicago Hot Dogs. And I loved going to Portillo's in Naperville when I lived there. So it's nice to see a Portillos in Peoria. Now if they just open one in Florida....oh yeah, there's a Portillos in Orlando and Tampa and St Pete. Love Portillos! read more

Portillo's Peoria - Waiting for Hot Dogs @ Portillos in Peoria - Hot Dogs Near Me - Peoria, Illinois

Prices are ridiculous for the quality of food, you cannot eat a sandwich, fries and drink (that you don't get a refill, only fast food place you can't get one from!) for under $18.50. A little pricey for what it is. Had the beef, fries and a drink, 18.50 was too much, also went and got a cheese burger fries and drink, $18 again and Luke warm at best. Flavor is always good and consistent but for that price it should at least be hot. read more

When going through drive through they stop u to order before the menu then get aggravated when u want to see the menu! Then when u do order and pay(no cash) I get my order and even if I ask them not to burn the onion rings EVERY time they burn the onion rings..won't go back because $42 is waaayyyy too much for this. read more

Food is delicious! As a vegetarian, I love their garden dog. And their chocolate cake is always an amazing treat. It just melts in your mouth. Ugh. And the cheese sauce. Yum! Also, the humans working there. They are so welcoming and thoughtful! read more

I always look forward to coming here. Portillo's used to only be up North and was a special treat, but now there is one here and I can get it whenever I visit my Dad. On this trip, I got some chicken strips and fries and the new salted caramel shake. The shake was delicious!! read more

I was passing through Peoria and saw this place. I love hotdogs so I thought I would give it a try. I'm glad I did because I had the best Chicago style dog that I've ever eaten! It was nice to unwrap something and see it picture perfect and taste as good as it looks. If they had a bell to ring for a great meal, I would have woken the dead ringing that thing. I will seek this place out if I'm ever anywhere near it again. Kudos to whoever made that dog on 4/24/22 around 7pm for #298! The dog was 10 ! The only negative was the lady taking my order was kind of an asshole. But I just took it in stride knowing restaurants are having hard times these days hiring and retaining workers who care the slightest about the work they perform. read more

Had a late lunch at Peoria Portillos today. I have been to several Portillos all over northern Illinois. It was 2:30 and not very busy. Crew was standing around. Delivery counter was filthy. Tables were not wiped off. There was fries on the floor and the fries crew person just kept walking over them. No one seemed to be in any kind of a rush. On any other visit to a Portillos there is always a manager circulating on the floor, there is always a person wiping tables, there is never food on the floor, and there is a friendly staff greeting you and trying to make your visit one that you would want to return again. Not this location. No one working there cared if you came back or not. Perhaps a surprise visit by regional manager would open some eyes to what was a restaurant chain we wanted to visit. We won't be going back to this location. read more

Seventeen days later and here I am again; November 21st at 7:00 pm. I'm being specific because I'm hoping that the people working on this day and time will be coached to improve their service. Then again, my prior one fell on deaf ears. I was greeted upon entering the restaurant but that friendly welcome started and ended there. The employee at the cash register, we'll call her Britney, was unenthusiastic and going through the motions. Thanks Brit. I stood at the end of the counter where the food is picked up and found myself in the same place as my last visit. Employees in conversation with each other and no acknowledgement of me or the other customers waiting. I watched my husband stand at the cold beer counter for about 7 minutes waiting on a manager to serve him. Turns out the manager was working the food line so that the aforementioned employees would be afforded continuity in fraternizing with one another. Good news though, they did rhyme the order this time. The food temperature was better and still consistent in taste and flavor. That is truly their saving grace! The rest of it was lackluster, despite the upbeat music. It's always interesting how restaurants try to influence your experience with the sights, smells and sounds. It looks like Portillo's but it ain't keeping up with the rest of the brand. Like lipstick on a pig...still a pig.Don't judge a Portillo's experience based on this location. Try another one and I'm sure you'll get a fuller experience. P.S. Congratulations on being the first Portillo's I've ever been to in 15 years to have a messy bathroom. That's where the 2 star was earned. P.P.S. "Another business gone to the dogs" is supposed to be funny not a reality. read more

Service was super fast on a busy Sunday at lunchtime. Fantastic beef sandwich! The dining room was very clean.

Ok so I really wanted to try Portillos while I was in town but I wanted to eat healthy so I got a side salad.....with a beef hot dog and cheese fries. The drive thru line was long but it moves fast. Everyone working there was so nice. The side salad was FRESH and the house dressing was tasty. I would get it again. The cheese sauce with the fries was OK, kind of thin. I wanted to get more cheese on each bite of fry but it was fine. I wouldn't get the cheese again though. The hot dog was pretty good. I had never had a Chicago style hot dog so it was an experience for me with all the toppings. I definitely recommend trying the hot dog if you get a chance. For fast food this is a good option. We have it in Florida so I'll have to see if it's any different down there! read more

I love Portillo's! Their Italian beef sandwich is by far the tastiest in the world. The sandwich packs a lot of flavor. I get it dipped with cheese. Every bite is as good as the last. Pair the Italian Beef with a side of cheese fries and you have the perfect meal. Portillo's offers many other delicious choices on their popular menu. I just can't order something different because I enjoy my usual so much! I think Portillo's needs to expand and add a restaurant in the St. Louis area. read more

The food was cold the polish sausage sandwich with grilled onions had no flavor and sausage was burnt tasting very disappointed of how the quality of the food has dropped. Drove 5 hours to eat here and never again. read more

Was a great place to get Chicago style dogs and Italian Beef sandwiches. Beef is still tasty and tender, although you now have to order the Big Beef to receive the same amount of meat that used to come on the regular size. Burgers, dogs, and fish sandwiches are good, but always served just barely warm. Now have to pay for gravy on the side. About a dollar. I order beef sandwiches dry with gravy on the side for carryout to keep bread from turning to mush. Gravy used to be free. Also, cheese sauce at about a dollar, get real, imitation cheese is cheap. Fries are well below average (always have been), order them well done if you want crunch. Portillo's dropped to average status, starting a couple of years ago. Decrease in quality and quantity coincides with Berkshire Hathaway ownership and the company going public. At least I had many opportunities to have the original Portillo's experience before Buffett's onslaught. read more

Everything goes well, I love their jumbo hotdogs, large roast beef sandwich, and cheeseburgers! Great people! I don't do sweets or fries, and have not gained any weight, eating there! Wife is a fan of their salad, daughter is a fan of their milkshakes! Everyone leaves full and satisfied! It's turned into one of my favorite places! read more

I'm visiting family from out of state, and it was my first time here. First off, the employees are so friendly and accommodating! I was so happy with the customer service and recommendations made by the lady helping us in the drive through. I felt like I was ordering from a family friend rather than a fast food establishment. The food is great and worth it to try! Thank you! Side note to management: please give your workers umbrellas to stand under. It is way too hot for them to be outside in this heat! read more

All items not received. Contacted Uber Eats and a credit was given for the missing item. However, a short time later the credit was reversed. I have now paid for an item I never received.

Burgers are one of the best in town. Italian beef one of the best too. The staff sometimes pretty good.

I like and I introduced my wife to Portillo's. She likes now. Great Chicago dogs and the fries was my wife's favorite. Definitely going back. read more

Order was completely wrong! Check your order before leaving, it was not busy, plenty of staff around too.

We dined here recently and overall it was ok. I had the spicy chicken sandwich and my husband had a double cheeseburger. I didn't really care for the sauce on the spicy chicken sandwich so I would opt for a regular chicken sandwich next time. The staff was very pleasant and honestly it looks like a good work environment. The restaurant was kind of dirty. A lot of the tables had not been wiped off and wrappers, fries, etc. littered the floor of the dining area. We certainly did not have a bad experience, but unless you are going here specifically for the Chicago hot dogs or Italian beef, I would choose Culver's over Portillo's. read more

We had just driven 11 hrs and arrived at Courtyard hotel in Peoria. Saw that Portillos was close so we ordered a Garden Dog and Fish Sandwich. Delivery was made less than 30 minutes after placing order. Everything was prepared as we asked and still warm. Great quality and service. Wholeheartedly recommend,! read more
