    Tf did I do to you guys to deserve this?
    Wolf O.

    Bruh, wtf is this? Friend from up north hyped you guys up. I'm disappointed. This shit is soggy as hell, and overpriced.

    Chardinera Dogs two ways. Plus fries.

    We did make it in after 1pm on Friday. It was extremely busy. Seating was becoming very limited. We came in at the right time. Because we are from Chicago, we kind of knew what we wanted. I got us a very good booth w cushioned banquet seats. Score! @Sean got in line and placed our order for us. $41. 2 dogs, 1 Italian beef, 1 Fry w lots of ketchup. And a Chopped Salad w Chicken. Two drinks. There was a bit of a wait. We watched lots of bad behavior. One family came in and pushed five 2 seater tables together and they all sat down. Even took chairs from other tables. I thought that was very rude. We do have to come back soon. We missed some favorites like a Cake Shake. The baked goods are extremely excellent. I wonder if they have the Chicago style Tamales on the menu?! Meet you there!!!

    Never been here before so we really didn't know what this restaurant's specialty was. The drive through was long so that was an indication to me that the food was probably good. There was an employee outside taking orders, so I guess that is what helped the line move at a steady pace. I ordered chicken tenders, onion rings, and a fruit punch. The food was just ok. Nothing really stood out. If I visit again, I would order what they are known for like their hotdogs, sausage dogs, or Italian beef. Overall, the experience was decent, but nothing earth shattering.

    Parking = hassle Line = can be long BUT.... Self service tablets available upon entrance AND the food comes out super fast! Food was pretty good, dogs were a tad salty but nothing crazy. Pricing was fair,,,, overall not a bad experience for fast food joint! (fries not very good get onion ring)

    This place is good. It's really good. However, it's very very very popular right now because it's so new. Be prepared to struggle to find parking and to wait a fairly long time if you dine in for your food. Nevertheless, I'm glad we finally had a chance to try Portillo's in Kennesaw. Having friends from Chicago, they all spoke so highly of Portillo's and said that I had to try the Italian beef sandwich. The sandwich did not disappoint. I ordered my sandwich dipped, which I think must be the best way to get it because it's so moist and the meat is so tender. Going back next time I would probably add cheese. I would also consider getting the cheese sauce for the fries. I did not try one of the beef hotdogs this time, which is clearly Chicago style based upon the mustard, relish, chopped onions, sliced tomatoes, and a kosher pickle, and peppers, all inside of a steamed poppyseed bun. The interior is very colorful with lots of classic signage covering the walls. The person calling out the order numbers clearly loves his job as he rhymes the numbers with a catchy phrase. I'll definitely return, would highly recommend Portillo's in Kennesaw, and I hope to be able to bring my family next time. Cheers

    They have a little book exchange out by the entrance.

    What can I say... I have Chicago in my system and crave that food all the time. I found out they opened this location up in November and that I was going to be in the area so I had to check it out! The food is exactly like it is in its original state. They very steadily had a long line, but it wasn't because no one was being served, it was just that busy! The food was being served and the tables quickly cleaned as people left. The restaurant was nice and big with all the typical decor, but Georgia coded. There was a nice outdoor seating area, which I will admit, I am not sure I have seen in IL. Ha There was also a rare things for a Portillo's.... A drive thru! Please go and have a Chicago dog along with an Italian beef and fries with a side of cheese. No disappointment will appear.

    Stopped on our way south. Conveniently located off of 75-inconvenient parking with much of it blocked off and a strange entrance area for drive-thru. There is a sizable outdoor dining area and I love that once inside, you can order from humans or electronic kiosks. The bathrooms were clean (albeit with scalding hot water which was tough for my kiddos). The seating area was smaller than anticipated, especially if you have more than 2 or 4 people in your group. We needed to wait for a table and a worker came over immediately to wipe down the table before we sat down. Another worker came over with paper sailor-esque hats for our kids. We waited only 10 minutes or so for our fresh food, consisting of: -cheeseburger -double cheeseburger -hamburger -Caesar salad -Italian beef with cheddar, dipped -large fries with cheese sauce The fries are the star. Crisp, hot crinkle fries with the perfect amount of salt. I normally love Portillo's Italian beef sandwiches (I'm from Illinois) but this one was not it. The beef didn't have much flavor, one side of the roll was soaked in gravy and the other side was dry, hard, and stale. Bummer. My boys all loved their burgers, which are thick patties with a smoky, char-grilled taste. My daughter ordered the Caesar salad, which I do not recommend. Very overpriced for some lettuce with cheese on it and one hard boiled egg cut in half. The service was great and once they iron out some of the new biz kinks, I'm crossing fingers this spot will be even better for locals.

    Portillo & the playoffs, what better combination to cheer on my bandwagon Chicago Bears team (I'm was on the bandwagon for clarification :-) and truly represent my love of the city of Chicago? There has to be a better experience, and there is per my previous review on this specific type of food from another Cobb county restaurant. Not my first experience, as had food from Portillo in metro Chicago a couple years ago. Was not impressed then, but peer pressure, their Chicago origin and desire to give second chances swayed my decision. Several in my group placed orders through a friend who lived in vicinity. Totally get that it was the playoff weekend, and surely a busy restaurant so allowed a bit of grace. The orders were typed out and shouldn't have been confusing, but despite that one was still left off and a return trip was necessary by our designated pickup person! Also it was not easy to find a local website as the state of Georgia was not even listed as having locations. I deferred to the Chicago location. I had previously visited and ordered the number one fan meal. It was the Italian beef with sweet peppers and opted for mozzarella cheese, large fries, and something called custom sauce. It looked fairly appetizing and I wanted to give a full review of the product offerings. Despite paying extra for the larger size Italian beef what I received was quite small, and can only imagine the regular size! The meat had decent flavor and I did truly enjoy the fries as they reheated well in the air fryer. I had ordered gravy on the side to dip, and it was good as well - not overly salty. Never received the custom sauce which my friend was told was included, despite having its own cost on the website. Whether I was charged for it, I will never know. My combo came with a drink, and I selected the root beer, and it was pretty standard. My biggest concern was the over hype of the restaurant as I've had better Chicago Italian beef. I do realize it's a chain and things get diluted, but I may have been swayed by too many seasons of The Bear ;-). There was one amongst my group who was adamant that this was the best outside of her own makings. Everyone of course, is entitled to their own opinions, but as a connoisseur of food, this fell short. The same individual shared that I should try a location within the city of Chicago versus my Downers Grove, IL experience. The chances of a 3rd attempt would be a hard sell because there is so much good food in Chicago that awaits me!

    Well, consistency matters!!! Being that my Hubs is a Chicagoan, we love Portillo's and we're super excited to learn that they were expanding to GA! Finally made the trip from Henry County and it did not disappoint. It was definitely worth the drive. The restaurant is nicely decorated, as are all Portillo locations, the Customer Service was exceptional, and though it was super busy, they got us in and out expeditiously! The food was hot and fresh and tasted delicious as it always does. Just an overall great experience. We will definitely be back very soon.

    Over 1hr drive to get to this new location of PORTILLOS! We were shopping in the area so why not! No long crazy lines but the police had the entrance parking blocked off. You have to make a U-turn to enter and go to the drive thru or park at a nearby parking area! I just opted for the drive thru. It was fast about 7min I had my food! I was looking for tamales/ribs/pasta which are items at other locations I saw on menus online! This Portillo's doesn't offer those items, maybe later! We really enjoyed the food we ordered. There will be a location opening in Gwinnett and that's when I will enjoy portillos again cause that drive will be a good 10min away then!

    Italian Beef was excellent! Get it with both sweet and spicy peppers
    Esther K.

    We had to make the drive out to the first Portillo's in Georgia and y'all, it did not miss! It was spacious inside and the parking lot. One of my fav Chicago eats! So glad we got one. Some of the favs: -Chicago Dog- with all the toppings. It's a must. -Italian beef- with both sweet and spicy peppers and a side of the gravy sauce or on the Italian Beef sandwich. It's messy but an absolute must. -Onion Rings & Fries with a side of melted cheese -chocolate cake The hours are great. They stay open pretty late. They also have some outdoor tables available which is nice for warmer/nicer days. We'll definitely be back!

    Anissa C.

    Food: We tried the hot dogs and cheese burger and fries!! I love crinkle fries!! The hot dogs were so good! They hot dogs have a snap when you bite into it! I love it .. The cheeseburger reminded me of the old school Burger King whopper, but better! Yeah, I'll be back for another one! Service: The drive through is EFFICIENT! They get you in and out, while being kind and helpful!! Ambiance: I like that the drive through has double lanes with multiple people making orders!!

    Dipped combo sausage and beef
    Annie M.

    10 stars We had been to Portillos in Chicago & dreamed of it since so were thrilled to see this come to ga! We got a hot dog each and a sausage combo to share & it was as good as we remembered The drive through is like chick FIL a, two lines & they take your order from the line so don't let the long lines scare you away! The picture doesn't look great but let me tell you it was delicious we got out beef dipped but maybe don't do that if you're not eating it right away haha

It's set up like the usual assembly-line spots, similar to Chipotle or CAVA, where you pick a base, toppings, and protein or you can skip the decisions and grab one of their prebuilt bowls. I went with the Mediterranean bowl and it delivered. Grilled chicken with shawarma seasoning, spring mix, broccoli, sweet potatoes (I swapped mine for carrots), tomatoes, cucumber, and onion, plus hummus and pita on the side. Flavorful, filling, and didn't leave me feeling weighed down. They've also got fresh juices and bottled drinks, which fits the whole better-for-you vibe. The space is a little dim with a food court feel and pop music playing in the background. Nothing fancy, but comfortable enough. Prices are about what you'd expect, around $15 for a bowl, but you get a generous portion. I had leftovers, which made it feel more worth it. Overall, a healthier, dependable option when you want something quick but still good quality. Definitely worth checking out. Wear: Crocs Listen to: Fleetwood Mac, Dreams

    Amazing Fried Chicken!…read more Super Chix is a fantastic simple fried chicken spot. Their menu is focused, fresh, and done with high quality in everything they do. Prices aren't quite like fast food chicken places, but the quality is just so much higher that the price is certainly worth it. Me and my party tried both the fingers and the sandwich. We both agreed that the chicken fingers were some of the best! The filet on the sandwich, however, was a little too skinny, unfortunately. We also got fries- they do lots of different seasoning options! We got the Cajun and the Rosemary Pepper seasonings on our fries... both were very very well seasoned! The fries and the chicken were both fried very nicely. Everything was crisp and made to order. The cashier service was friendly, but they are not on the highest level of hospitality. The restaurant itself has a large dining room and was very clean. I like the whole vibe and the music as well. The biggest thing I loved about this experience was the sauce! They have a self-service sauce bar that is fantastic! I love their signature sauce, and the other ones are great too. We also tried the Korean BBQ, Hot Nashville, and Honey Mustard... every one didn't disappoint! I would definitely return here for the fresh, saucy chicken with the abundant side of perfectly seasoned fries!
