    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience- might as well start here - we showed up at prime dinner time- just after 6pm on a Sunday night. We waited in a somewhat unkempt restaurant while the cashier finished up the order of the person we were waiting behind.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But then we waited a couple minutes for her to finish up.....sigh. Ok - when we finally started the order (2 smashburgers; hold the red onions on both; one with tots; the other with sweet potato fries..... I wanted a beer. The menu board had beers (Coors light, Dos Equis, and - I think another one) - but they only had a couple beers on tap instead- so i got a Sam Adams Seasonal. We paid up, got our number....hubby got a water cup, and I left to sit down, bereft of beer. Sigh. Ok- while I went to the loo to do my BIZness, [[HIGHLIGHT]]I noted it was dirty and hadn't been cleaned for hours. Not a good sign- if the loo's dirty? Yikes. Likely the kitchen isn't too clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But still - we waited. Finally, 18 minutes after we ordered (and it wasn't like it was an extremely busy restaurant), the food arrived. The Smashburgers were good. Yay. The tots? Not so hot. I mean, at all. Lukewarm at best. OOH. Not good. Taters hold heat. But these tots were not hot. At all. The sweet potato fries were- thank goodness - fantastic! Ok- but what was wrong? the beer, when it arrived at the table with the food? Was not in a glass (and they had glasses available). Instead, it was in two paper cups. Worse, the rim of the cup tasted like a bit of a deli stand- meaning the person who poured the beer held the cup w/o washing up first. Yuck. Yuck. YUCK. [[HIGHLIGHT]]So here's the thing- dirty loo and restaurant - that's a concern. Slow service- another concern. Worse to me? The beer after-taste on the cup and the tots that weren't hot. Not a good thing[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Ok, Smashburger. Not sure who your franchisee is here, but the team there was "not" well-organized. There was no sense of "hustle". And I should have been served the beer at the time of the order, right? When hub-hub got his water then, and I didn't get my beer? Oh my. I think your owner is just out to collect the profits, as they surely didn't care about the quality of the experience or the food. Sorry to say, we won't go again. Much more is the pity.

    On my second visit to Smashburger, we decided to order ahead of time during dinner. When we got there we only had to wait a few minutes for our order. My husband and I got the double original smashburger and our kids got the truffle smashburger. All burgers were great but the fries were cold and stale. The next time we come, it will be during a busier time making sure there is fast turnover in fries.

    Just wish for the price that the fries were included with the burger. Definitely better than a typical fast food burger since it's made to order. Also wish that there was more to the kids meal like a coloring page or something. The kids really like the burger, everything is nice and fresh. The orange Fanta was watered down.

    Just my opinion. Smashburger is overrated. I was very disappointed wasting my money. My first and probably my last visit at this location. I ordered the avocado bacon burger and fries. It was way too greasy, and the burger was just basic. I don't see what the Big Deal is about Smashburger. The word Smash definitely wasn't something I did with the food. I couldn't even finish my food. Waste of money.

    I heard great things about @smashburger from several people so I decided to try them for myself. Took a ride out to the Schaumburg location on Golf Road. We had the following:  A smoked cheddar brisket burger with one patty. A smoked cheddar brisket burger with double patties. A truffle Mushroom Swiss burger. A spicy Baja with black burger. Sweet potato fries. The single patty burgers are huge, you need to be extra hungry if you order a double patty burger. Although they classify smash Burgers as "fast food", I would prefer to call them fast, deliciously satisfying food. Awesome signature Smash Burgers! Their burgers are made with certified Angus beef and there are many choices on the menu. Sweet potato fries are delicious and a large order is enough for two people to share. Service moved surprisingly fast for the amount of people that were ordering that day. The location was very clean and all employees were wearing gloves and masks. They have limited seating inside but do have a cute outside patio with additional seating. Craving a burger? Take a ride out to Smashburger in Schaumburg, Illinois.

    I had been to a Smashburger in Schaumburg a while back when there was one on Golf Road by Plum Grove Road. I didn't know Smashburger was still around. I recently checked out this location. I ordered a single cheeseburger, a single turkey burger and haystack onions to go. I received good service. The restaurant layout was good and the signs for where to go order and where to go for deliver/ pick-up were clearly placed. The detailed menu was on the board above the cashier counter. The staff members at the ordering counter were knowledgeable and helpful. Their menu has a good variety of items to choose from. They offer single patty and double patty Beef burgers (w/ varieties) as well as Black Bean, Chicken and Turkey burgers. They have sides and salads options as well as a Kids Meal menu. They also have a variety of beverages, Haagen Daas ice cream milkshakes and even, breakfast items, on the menu. And as for the food, the cheeseburger and the turkey burger were tasty; however, the haystack onions left me wanting for something better. They were cooked okay but the flavor was a miss. Parts of the haystack had no flavor (in terms of the seasoning) and other parts were a bit salty. I also had their single spicy baja with guac burger and smash tots which were complimentary as a part of a Yelp Elite perk event. The smash tots were super oily and salty. My wife and I both agreed on that so it wasn't just I that felt that way. And mind you, I am not salt sensitive or anything like that. My burger was cooked properly and it had a nice kick to it as well; however, in occasional bites, it tasted a bit salty as well. I wasn't really impressed by the food, I had. It was so-so at the best. Overall, I decided to give it four stars based on the menu variety, pricing, the service and food. If rating just based on the food then I would give only three stars. For me, it's a once in while visit type place but I would say that you definitely check this Smashburger out and see how you like it.

For the last few months, the service level here has been getting worse and worse - forgetting food items and basically not caring about the customer. Here's my most recent problem: As I'm sure many of you are aware, if you complete the online survey from your receipt, you get emailed a code for a free large fry. I've been using these survey codes for years with no issues. Last week, I go to the Schaumburg location, place my order - with a new trainee (no problems with him - he was great), and hand him my survey code for my free fry. He didn't know what to do with the survey code so he calls over the manager (Ganzo). Ganzo proceeds to tell me that they no longer accept the survey codes and that the survey reward will appear in my Portillo's Perks app - wrong! I asked when did this new policy start and he's says 3 or 4 months ago and then walks away. I say to him as he's walking away that that's not true as I've used survey codes at other locations several times in the last 4 months and asked why am I still being emailed survey codes if you don't accept them??? He again just says it's only in the app and walks away again. I call him back a second time and showed him there is no survey rewards in my app. He angrily types something into the register and then tells the cashier to give me the fry - the cashier asks how to enter it and Ganzo says "Enter the survey code I gave him" - this all sounded to me like the manager just didn't want to honor the free fry. When I got home, I immediately completed my survey from the receipt, which clearly states: "Upon completion, you will receive a validation code via email" for a free fry. I explained in the survey what happened and requested I be contacted - and as usual, I was emailed a code for a free large fry. Sadly, a week later, I get a totally generic email from "Portillo's" that didn't even address me by name and just thanked me for contacting them - did not address any of the issues I reported or any apologies. I'll be avoiding this location from now on. I now go to the Rolling Meadows and Arlington Heights locations, which so far, have still been providing good service.

The first is the chicken sandwiches were both inedible because the chicken breast pieces were hard and undercooked. We ended up replacing the the tenders in the sandwiches and throwing out the chicken. Second the Mac and cheese tasted great a few weeks ago but today the sauce / flavor to macaroni ratio was way too high making the Mac and cheese also inedible. They really need quality control to prevent jn the future. I would have rated 1 star but I know they can do better so hoping they use this review to improve their chicken sandwiches and Mac and cheese. Will be getting only the tenders in the future.
