The Streamwood Portillo's is one of those places that used to feel a lot better when I was younger, but lately it just hasn't been the same. The food is still decent--it gets the job done and satisfies the craving--but it's definitely downgraded compared to how it used to be. It doesn't have that same quality or consistency that made it stand out before. What really brings the experience down is the staff. There's a noticeable lack of effort and care, like employees are just going through the motions. The service feels rushed and unwelcoming, and it doesn't leave a good impression. On top of that, the register service lady was especially rude, which made things even worse. It's disappointing because Portillo's used to feel like a place that took pride in both food and service. Overall, the food is alright, but the decline in quality and poor customer service make this location hard to enjoy like it used to be read more

I love it here. Had a veggie dawg and mm mm mm did it make me feel darn proud to be an Amerirican. Dining here, I felt like both Marilyn Monroe and an ole farmer named John, simultaneously. It was awesome. Thanks for giving me a soft place to land, Portillo's! read more

This is my go-to location to enjoy Portillo's. The drive through isn't the largest but the line always moves quick. Drive through staff could smile a bit more but are pretty accurate to get your order correct. I love ordering my fries well done so they're crispy and it's a 50/50 chance they actually do it. Either way, Portillo's always hits the spot and food orders are consistent. I love their hotdogs/fries and my husband enjoys their beef, burgers, and spicy chicken sandwich! Tip: Drive through is card only; no cash. read more

Service is in point, and the accuracy on your orders. The restaurant is clean, and soda machine is self service. I had the Chopped salad with Parmesan cheese instead of the blue cheese and all modifications were on point. Tried the onions rings and they were crispy but unfortunately they have no onion ring sauce. read more

Drive through staff needs training big time. They are young inexperienced people who need training. They are so bad that cars are backed up for a far. They don't know how to move up cars to keep the line flowing at a timely pace. Horrible service read more

We have a Portillos in Dallas but I've never been. So I thought I would try it in Chicago. I had an Italian Beef sandwich delivered to my hotel room: quick, on-time and hot. It was perhaps the best sandwich I have ever had! Well, not perhaps. Definitely the best. I can't wait to get to our local outlet ASAP. read more

Steven is so sweet he gave Natalie some Portillos Stickers! He really made her day! Not surprised why this is one of her favorite restaurants! We will continue eating here at least once a week if not more! Sorry the below was not posted from our last visit, so I am added the above to this one. Today my husband and I had a taste for Portillo's cheeseburgers and fries. When we approached the register to place our order, we were waited on by Brittany. She is so pleasant and kind and she really interacted well with my 8 year old daughter. She gave her a paper hat, a temporary tattoo, and the cutest cup keychain. My daughter was so happy, Brittany really made her day a happy one! We need more people like Brittany in the world! We noticed the dining room has new blue and red chairs! They look beautiful! It is nice to see them keeping the restaurant looking clean and nice! We eat here weekly and will continue doing so! read more

Food is great, had the beef sandwich nice portion, and cheese fries... fries were just the way I like them... crispy not soggy. Went through the drive-thru it was nice to be able to go over the menu and not have someone stop me and take my order before I can even look at the board. Yes I pretty much know the menu but there's times when I'm undecided and it's like I think I might try this today however, they changed the lighting. It's blue now and kind of dark hit, the curb (*night time) didn't like that too much. Overall they still have the best tasting beef sandwiches around read more

I just got the ribs and there was not one bite where you did not hit slimy fat. Also the time before we picked up the beef was the skimpiest I have ever seen. Hardly any beef mostly bread. read more

Do NOT order the ribs or this fish sandwhich. Need to stick w a beef or Italian sausage or their chopped salad when ordering at a Portillo's. Cute traditional Portillo vibe except for the order kiosks but I like those read more

Have you ever forgotten something in an order and then made the customer pay for it? This Portillo's loves doing that! I ordered a cheeseburger with everything. I took it home - NO BURGER PATTY. I called, they said I would get a refund. Never did. One time I ordered three beefs and they only gave two. My family ordered beef sandwiches from their catering and they forgot to give the gravy. I ordered a "combo" meal and the lady never entered a coke even though I said "a combo meal with a coke" and they tried to charge me at the window. Horrible customer service on top of it!! Worst Portillo's location. read more

tried again....my mistake never aga! wait 20 minutes in drive thru screwed up order what is so difficult about a chicken sandwich onion rings and 2 salads? rude and will not correct their mistakes nor apologize never again need new owners new managers and new trained employees read more

Don't order the ribs from this location, especially when nobody is completely manning the grill. The ribs here are fully cooked before it arrives into the store, and then reheated on a gas grill when ordered, supposing to give it a charboiled, smokey taste. I like using the Portillo's app, and did so again, ordering the same things as normal (italian beef, chicago style hot dogs, and cheese fries), but this time added a full slab of baby back ribs. Got there on-time, and the pick-up guy told me I had to wait 5 more minutes. He then went to the gas grill, and tossed a full rack of fully cooked ribs on (it was the only thing on), and then disappeared. Since I needed to wait anyway, I now a front row seat on how this dish is prepared. It sat on the grill for 5 minutes undisturbed. I was going to say something, but then an alarm went off, but first nobody went there. I was just about to say something (i.e. "Hey, don't let my ribs burn"), but before I could, ANOTHER guy from back comes walking up really pissed. He was very unhappy, and treated those poor ribs very roughly. A large portion of the ribs ended up sticking to the grill, but he left it there and packaged the rest up and tossed it to the front and just left mumbling (it was obvious that he was doing somebody else's job). Then it just stayed there, until I said something: it took another request from me to yet another person, to fulfill my order, preparing the fries. The hot dog and hot beef had already been done before I even arrived,. The delay caused the other things on the order to get cold. What was really disturbing is the lack of coordination between the staff members and some open hostility between them, haven't really seen that at Portillo's before, but my wife informed me that my experience isn't atypical of that location (she has dined there a lot more than I have). Keep it simple: hot beef and hot dogs, and you should be OK. Both were delicious when we ate it at home. read more

Went via the drive through for lunch around 12pm and thankfully the wait time wasn't as bad as I'd expected. It went fairly quick. We ordered a chopped salad and a hot dog with everything. Both were good! I do appreciate them adding bread, butter and having 2 dressings included for the salad. Napkins were given which is always a plus. If you can avoid 12-1pm I would, but of course naturally that's the lunch rush haha. read more

This will be a drive thru review. I went on a weekday so thankfully there were only 3 cars ahead of me. I ordered a double hot dog and cheese fries. Surprisingly, my order came pretty fast but the downside was that I had to wait for the other cars to get their order. They need to make a double lane so that when customers get their food they can go on about their day instead of having to wait for cars in front of them to get their order. Or they should have cars, park in a designated spot while they are waiting so cars can leave. Of course I didn't want my food to get cold so I ended up finishing almost half of my food before everyone got their order! read more

I came to visit family and wanted so much to try this place as I heard it was good. I have to say this place is always hopping and the food is fresh and hot w/customer service good. I had the jumbo Portillo dog and it didn't disappoint. Now the fries could use a little work but that's only my personal taste though as I like them Just a little crispier. The atmosphere gives you a 50's type vibe. But all in all very good and didn't disappoint. read more

9/7/23 2:24 pm Drive Thru - Streamwood Portillo. This is the second time i have ordered a bowl of Chili. Again, this time, like last time there was no meat or beans in my chili, NONE! It was all liquid. Portillo's use to give you very good value for the money but lately I have driven away very disappointed. Also their hamburgers which are very good quality tend to be burnt and dried out lately because they leave them cooking too long. Lastly they over salt their food. They could reach a wider audience if they put less salt in their food. People can always add salt at the table, include little salt packets for those that crave additional salt but many older Americans have high blood pressure and heart issues and thus on low sodium diets. We use to love Portillo's and eat there twice a week as well as give out Portillo's Christmas gift cards. No more. I am hoping the manager of this Portillo's wakes up and takes action, otherwise he/she will lose our business for good. read more

This was my first time at this Portillo's location, and I will likely not be back. The only problem I personally experienced was that my french fries were very cold. However, the employee working the expo line (handing out the orders) was so incredibly rude to a poor DoorDash driver... The order he was trying to pick up had clearly be stolen or mistakenly taken by another customer from the shelves, and instead of helping him solve the problem/ offering to remake the order/contact DoorDash she continuously barked/yelled at him that it "will not be coming". The restaurant was not busy at this time on the inside, only the drive thru had a line. I was so disappointed to witness this unprofessional and unkind behavior when the delivery driver had done nothing wrong. read more

Always great food! The Italian beef sandwich and Chicago dog are to die for and definitely Chicago favorites. The old school style of the inside of each location is so fun. Unfortunately they often miss some things when you are in the drive through so make sure to always check your bag before pulling away. read more

What happened to this place? ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE experience. From the drive-thru to inside, an absolute cluster fuck. Too many people in the way, there's no organization. My order was called but when I picked up my food... they only gave me fries. I told them they forgot the rest of my order and started giving me the rest little by little. Finally the only thing I was waiting for was my Italian Beef and that took longer than it should have. At that point, the rest of my food was cold as fuck. After waiting a long while, they finally give me the beef. But when I get home, the cheese sauces & fries were spilled all over the bag & the fry boxes. This location need to get it together, throughout my time there, there were so many other orders that were messed up. SMH Very disappointed with the food and overall experience. read more

Service at this location has been consistently awful. For example, two times I ordered pickup and watched tons of people order and get their food after mine was supposed to be ready. People in the drive thru come up to the car well before you can see a menu. There have been other issues as well. I keep telling myself to never come back here. Well, it's over 25 minutes now and the pickup shelf is still empty, but people keep ordering and getting food. I could have gone through the drive thru 2-3 times by now...Will drive out of the way for the Portillo's fix moving forward. UPDATE So I finally went to complain and was asked my name which I gave, and they pulled my order from behind the counter. Which was cold, of course. So the big shelves sitting right there for customer and DoorDash pickups with the big "under video surveillance" sign- those are just there for show. And they don't call out (or rather scream out) that your pickup order is ready like they do for all the lucky dine-in folks. You're just supposed to know to fight your way through the crowd of people waiting for orders and start asking if your order is ready. Nice system, huh? Spent an hour of time for a headache and cold food. Thanks Portillo's (again)! read more

So, we had to go out and pick up something and decided Portillo's was calling our name. Currently, all orders are pick up through the drive - thru (totally fine), the line was around the building, but I'm used to the Schaumburg location where they usually need police directly traffic at lunch. Everyone was nice (though it's not a great day weather wise, and CoVid sucks) so my standard are much lower (you can't tell if someone is smiling with a mask anyway). Props for all the people outside having facial PPE (though it's not helpful if it's not on your nose, kids). Also, they're mindful of the impact of the length of the line and having people wait for food in the parking lot across. Everyone is chill, much props for still working and being patient. Also, we ordered a ridiculous amount and it was all right. read more

It's a Chicago thing! When in the Windy City you can't go wrong with original Chicago food and nobody does it better than Portillo's.

I am so done with this place. They're quality is so terrible I'd rather eat McDonald's. The other locations are better I ordered a fish sandwich and the photos say it all. Crappy cheese that didn't melt, burnt buns, no tartar sauce, and the fish looked like a frozen patty that you get from Walmart. This pathetic sandwich cost almost 7 dollars. read more

What a fall from grace. Portillos has squandered its reputation. Three times in a row, my order was either incorrect or completely missing items. Three times in a row. The food went from great to adequate. Fries are never fresh or cooked long enough. Not worth their increased prices. Find a better spot, don't reward this poorly run establishment with any of your hard earned money. read more

I live in Florida and have been craving Chicago style hot dogs for a while so I had to come and enjoy some during my visit. The food was ok. I wasn't displeased with it but I wouldn't say it was the best either. It was a little busy so service was also a bit slow. The place itself was clean and maintained. I like how they have coat racks at the booths to hang your coats. read more

I have liked the food but am now very dissapointed! I have an account and have ordered online. Twice I have gotten emails from Portillos indicating FREE delivery during a range of dates. Twice it is far from free! I ordered some items and realized the total was much higher. When looking furthur I realized they charge a hefty fee buried in the taxes and fees (convenience fee). They don't even display it - they hide it in the taxes and fee total which you can only see the breakdown by clicking a question mark next to the category. That fee is only there when they say they have "free" delivery. I don't know how a large company can do something like this. Seems they are greedy and using a bait and switch approach. Very disapointing and sneaky ripping off customers without their knowledge. read more

The quarrel isn't with the food- I've only ever had Portillos once. The issue is with inadequate management. I try not to understand Daniel(?) management style.It has been proven not to work; in terms of team positivity, heightened guest experiences, and overall team/company moral- I imagine the turnover rate to be high; with the average 2/3 long term employees that 'deal' with his ranting. My partner ordered food from DoorDash- the manager wouldn't release our order to the DoorDash driver, after we paid for the order- literally--- only hot dogs and fries. I called the store and the manager, whose name I don't remember was completely inappropriate. This level of customer service would be more suitable at a county jail mess hall or a detention center. I decided that I would leave my job and uber to get the order, as the boss man hung up on me. When we arrived- Mel (who was the shining star), kept us company while the manager kept us waiting for a very long/extended period of time- he knew we were waiting but he decided to take a lower cynical stance. After keeping us waiting, he came over with a very disgruntled attitude and sour demeanor. I'm supposing this gentleman is the General Manager. I advised him that DoorDash- as Doordash had already called the restaurant- told us, the order was confirmed by the restaurant. He offered no customer care nor support. Personally, I prefer to be solution oriented. After traveling 30 minutes to finally get my food- this member of management was more concerned with being 'right' and completely rude/gross than offering a good customer experience. He was frantic; and obviously from the way he was acting and treating us; he knew he was in the wrong, as well as the employees. Fundamentally the worst public management model I have encountered to this day- my career was in the restaurant industry (Michelin Star dining- Chef and Management). While having an 'off day' is understandable; what I don't understand is the employees that were able to show understanding to our situation- and someone hired as a member of management wasn't. read more

Covid 19 safety alert! Tonight we ate dinner inside the restaurant where masks were required. It was posted on the door and all the employees were wearing masks. We did witness 3 patrons enter without masks though, they made their way to the front counter and ordered there food...still no masks and no employee had enforced the mask requirement. Our safety was in jeopardy as were the other patrons. I then watched one of the maskless order a beer at the counter.. still no mask. The manager served her the beer... still no mask. Portillo employees failed to enforce their mask requirements three times. Once as the patrons entered the front door, second at the register, and third at the beer counter. Shame on Portillo management for not taking the pandemic and the safety of the other patrons seriously. Wake up and do the job you were hired to do..all of you.. seriously please do your job. read more

The WORST location !!! Stay awayyyy!!! Never can get orders right! Tell you to pull up and wait only to find out they forgot your order.

I ordered 1lb of beef and bread (not rolls) I have been going there for ever it has changed since the new owners have taken over. The beef had no flavor which is very odd and it was sliced with the grain so it was tough and chewey. I always got the same bread as their restaurant served but now when you order beef they give you rolls which are to thick and they fall apart when you add gravely etc.. I am so disappointed with the changes and would not recommend you buy the bread from them and hopefully you beef will have more flavor. read more

Yelp says, "You've checked in here 5 times! What keeps you coming back?" Well, since you asked.... the answer is: "Italian beef." Personally, I am not the world's biggest Italian beef fan, but my husband probably is. Nearly every time we come back to Chicagoland, we order some Italian beef from Portillo's to bring back with us. You can call ahead (at least 24 hours, I think?) and order several pounds of beef, which comes with gravy and peppers (if desired). The bread can be included, too. It's the perfect arrangement for us to bring a cooler and fill it with frozen beef instead of shipping it out (expensive) or missing out completely. Occasionally, we eat here too -- just to get our fix of beef and hot dogs. There's nothing like this in Kentucky at all. The beef is pretty darn tasty. Juicy hot dogs, delicious fries, gut-busting beef sandwiches, so good. This location is one of the better locations in the area too. It's busy, but not ridiculous, and the staff seems to handle crowds well. Clean, spacious, packed with memorabiia, etc. You're good to go. read more
