A taste of Chicago here in Texas! So happy we have a portillos. I loved going here when I lived in the Midwest. I love the classic Chicago dog, the chocolate cake, and the chocolate cake milkshake. They put an entire piece of cake in the milkshake and it's divine. The drive through goes pretty fast. It was really busy inside but they had plenty of space to eat. read more

Portillo's Schertz - Hot Dogs Near Me - Schertz, Texas

For fast food, this place is pretty good. Our family ordered a variety of items, including Chicago dogs, fries, onion rings, a chicken sandwich, and a burger. The Chicago dogs were definitely the standout and something I would order again. The fries, however, were heavily salted--more than I prefer. Next time, I would probably ask for light salt or no salt. I'd also like to come back and try the Italian beef sandwich, which looked popular. One thing to note: we went on a weekday evening and the parking lot was completely full, so we ended up using the drive-thru instead. The drive-thru service was surprisingly fast despite how busy they were. Another nice bonus is that they offer a military discount, which is always appreciated. Overall, it was a good experience and we will return to try the beef sandwiches. read more

When I started my CPG career, I worked for a man who grew up in Chicago. During the time I worked for him, he frequently mentioned Chicago style hotdogs. He was in love with those from Portillo's. So I was excited to try them when they opened in San Antonio. We gave them a few weeks to get all the kinks worked out. We also went after 2:00 P.M. thinking the lunch crowd would be over. Even with that planning, we still ended up participating with a large crowd. Driving up, we found the huge parking lot full. As this is located in a newly started shopping area, there were no other businesses to park at, and we literally had to wait a while for parking. Finally, we walked in and found a long line waiting in front of us. It took us more than 20 minutes to get to the register and order. Ordering was easy, and the young lady working with us took good care of us. I ordered 2 dogs, and my wife ordered a burger. We went and got our drinks and found the only table available. It took about 10 minutes for the food to be ready. They call your number, and then you go pick up your order. We have a split decision on our opinions. My dogs came with a crisp pickle on top along with peppers, tomatoes, and onions. My wife's burger came as she ordered it. I really enjoyed the hotdogs, but my wife felt like she could have gotten her burger at Burger King (that's not a good thing). Will I return? I would, but it will probably have to be without my wife read more

First Time Visitors, Pleasantly Surprised! Even though I've traveled across many states I'm also not originally from Texas I had actually never heard of Portillo's until this location opened up here in Schertz. My husband and I decided to check it out for a late dinner around 8:00 PM on a Monday. There were quite a few people there, but thankfully, there was no line. We wanted to get the full experience, so we ordered a variety of items to share. The Food: Italian Beef & Sausage : We ordered this with sweet peppers and asked for the hot peppers on the side. The sweet peppers were absolutely delicious! The hot peppers were more mild than spicy, but they were still incredibly tasty and had a great crisp to them. The Sausage was a standout for me. It was so good it brought back memories of my grandma cooking Italian sausage in a skillet. Burger & Hot Dog: The burger was very tasty. The hot dog wasn't bad either I really enjoyed all the generous, flavorful toppings it came with. Fries: They were good, though just a little bit on the salty side. Atmosphere: The restaurant itself was very clean. You could easily tell the staff was working hard and doing a great job keeping up with the dining room. Overall, a really great first experience! Definitely will come back to try that chocolate cake. Stars 1.5 star for food 1 star for facilities 1 star for service 1 star for over all experience 4.5 rating. read more

It great that its finally opened but when I navigated to their online site, it does not show up for online orders. I wanted to order ahead and pickup but obviously this is not an option. I checked other locations to ensure this option is working and all other places accept online orders. read more

Portillo's Schertz - Combo beef and sausage sandwich with fries and onion rings. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Schertz, Texas

Had a sneak peak today and it was my very first time having Portillo's. If all I had to judge was my Italian beef and sausage I probably wouldn't go back. Luckily my wife got the rodeo burger and it saved. My sandwich was very tender. I opted for the hot peppers and the medley had a decent amount of heat. It also came with a side of cheese sauce. I just felt like everything in the sandwich was bland. The restaurant itself was very nice inside. Service was excellent. I would definitely go back and grab a burger off of the menu. read more

Ohh man, we lucked up and got to go in for a sneak peek today and it was everything I needed!! The restaurant is beautiful and well put together, a mix of Schertz and Chicago. Merch looks so cute too, can't wait to get something from there. Now to the food, we had a limited menu so sadly no shakes today but I was able to get a Rodeo burger with fries and a drink. The reason I love Portillo's is because they are charbroil burgers. I can't wait for the full menu experience come June!! read more

The Ambiance and service were great. All of the old car nostalgia on the walls is fun and love the 50's music. Got a chili dog, Chicago dog and a beef and cheddar. Fries came out hot which is always a plus! Chicago dog was good, sport peppers were a bit small but still great. The chili dog was good with a good tasting chili. The beef and cheddar was a soggy nightmare. I tried to eat it but was like eating a wet sponge. I couldn't get through 3 bites. Main gripe is chili dog was wrapped in paper. So yeah, chili everywhere which sucked. Overall it's good but not a place I'd go out of my way to eat at. read more

We tried Portillo's today and ... it was a bust The atmosphere was cool the decor reminded us of 54th Street and the employees were friendly and helpful in explaining the menu and assisting us through our order. We ordered 2 burger meals , 1 hot dog meal and 3 Italian beef meals and it was a little shy of $100. The food comes packed in Togo paper bags . The meat had in our opinion ZERO flavor . Honestly tasted like unseasoned barbacoa. The fries tasted like old grease. The thing that made the Italian beef sandwich better was the nacho cheese dip (least expensive thing we bought ) . Super bummed but glad we gave it a try. Sadly We will not be returning . read more

Went through the drive through. Customer service was great, order was correct, food was hot & delicious! We ordered the Italian Beef (hot & juicy), Italian sausage, fries & tenders (just to try) Being from Chicago, we had to see how the quality would be due to it being a chain.... It's still great! read more

Went thru drive thru. Great service and food. Good variety on menu. Next time I'll try dining in. Can't wait to try their chocolate cake!

Love the beef sandwich! A true Chicago Dog and a delicious slice of chocolate cake. Real strawberries in the strawberry shake.

Looks great. Ambiance and service was very good. Food was also what you'd expect but very good fast food. Love the Chicago dog, burger and fries. Onion rings are best I've ever had. I loved the prices. That alone is why I'll be back many times. Great value for the food. Only gripe is how is there now serving trays. That was unfortunate. Also was confusing how to get to parking lot. You need to act your going to evo and then it connects to parking lot. With all construction you'd think there'd be an entrance just into Portillo. Anyways loved this location and will be back. Food was amazing!! read more

Chicago born and raised been going to portillos since the dog stand existed in the 60s ,this is a real Italian beef packed full delicious ,I'm in seventh heaven this restaurant finally arrived in San Antonio .And a lot cheaper price than the other Italian beef restaurants I used to visit and those were good but I'll be only going to portillos now . read more

The line was super long and wasn't sure if it was worth it. It wasn't the best but it definitely wasn't the worst

We got to portillos excited to order. We ordered at 11:41am. Order #119. We stood by the counter where they call out orders for over 30min. My husband approached the counter and asked the manager in a black shirt, who looked over to his right and noticed a bag sitting there and simply said oh it's here. We asked why it wasn't called out? He said well, because it's right here. Very dismissive. We finally got our food at 12:22 PM!!!!! We sat down only to have to get back up to ask for hot fries cheese sauce and hot dogs. Thats how long the bag sat there. I understand that it was busy but this was unacceptable to say the least. read more

I love portillos! Lived in Chicago for years and it didn't disappoint. Had the Italian beef with sweet and spicy peppers. Fries with a side of cheese. Followed by a slice of chocolate cake. It was perfect. The line moved fairly quickly for how busy it was. Can't wait to be back and try more of the menu. read more

Used the drive thru, staff was very friendly, the food was terrific. First time having a Chicago dog and I can say this is my new favorite place. Didn't get to go inside but the restaurant does look very nice, can't wait to sit outside in the patio. read more
