Portillo's brings a bit of Chicago to Orlando, Florida and overall was a good experience…read more For fast-food, Portillo's definitely hits the spot. I like their Italian beef and would definitely recommend it. The service here was friendly and it has a cool ambiance and vibe. It is great to see that Portillo's has expanded to Orlando and I have enjoyed their meals several times.

We love Portillo's. We have been here for a few Yelp event as well as just on our own. My wife and…read moreher parents are from Chicago, the home of Portillo's, so when they visit us, we have to go here! We do not normally come to this location but they are all pretty similar. This location is on 535 very close to SeaWorld, and also in a very touristy area. They have opened a few locations around Central Florida. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a drive thru. I think their food is best eaten there so its hot and fresh. Inside their decor is a mix of old timey cars and car hops. It reminds me of a restaurant you would find in the 60s. Its fun, the staff are fun, there is music and they also sell beer. I don't think I have ever really seen a fast food restaurant serving beer. Im sure they exist but I cant think of one. This is a fun environment, the staff calls your order out and then when its ready they use very fun slogans to tell you its time, such as "Order 165 it's time to shine" and "Order 173 come and meet me". This is perfect for families not looking to spend a ton of money and also get a hot dinner or lunch. There were a lot of families in here eating dinner when we went. It is very touristy at this location, the shopping center it is in, also has a White Castle so just be prepared. There were plenty of parking spots though. Portillo's menu is very simple, they have hot dogs, burgers/chicken sandwiches, salads, bowls and Italian beef. However, they are most known for their Chicago style hot dogs. Their Italian beef is very good, they dip the sandwich in a hot au jus sauce. A Chicago dog has mustard, green relish, celery salt, tomatoes, onions, a pickle and peppers sandwiched on the hot dog. This is a meal on top of the hot dog. My wife usually orders the Chicago dog with no onions or relish. I usually go for the Italian beef or one of their salads or bowls. I usually get something different each time. This visit, I actually went with the Italian Sausage and Beef combo served on a hoagie bun. This was a great combo and even my wife mentioned how the sausage was really good and something she would probably get next time. Service is always really great. Everyone is always nice and friendly. Someone is always cleaning the tables, everyone says hello, they are just really great with their service. Drinks can be refilled, you just need to go to the counter if they do not have their own self service machine. I would definitely recommend this chain. The food is great, service fantastic and a fun vibe inside. ACES!

The menu itself was basic but in a good way. The prices were cheap for 2026. We ordered American Cheese Dog baskets, Chili & Cheese fries and drinks. The food came crazy fast and the food was good. Not super gourmet or anything, just mediocre. I wish we had gotten more macaroni salad and our lemonade was meh. All in all, if you're in the area and want a cheap eat I would go here but if you're doing a trek because you heard about it maybe go somewhere else.

Had a hot dog with sauerkraut and spicy brown mustard. As others have noted, the dog had a snap to it. Not a lot of flavor, but I think Viennas just aren't my brand of choice. The fries were the standout on my first visit - fresh, crispy, and a good portion. My husband had a chili cheese dog and a slaw dog. He found preferred the chili cheese over the slaw, saying that the slaw overpowered the hot dog flavor. A cute waterfront park to visit behind the joint, too!

My husband got the Detroit dog, which he enjoyed, but given the price, it felt a little small unless you added a side of fries or something. Adding French fries was only about $2 extra, and they were fresh, crispy, and delicious. Service was friendly and quick, and staff specified a a seven-minute wait for our order. There are tables and chairs where you can sit and eat, both outdoors and under covered areas, which is nice if it's not too crowded. It was raining when we visited, and we ended up grabbing a bunch of napkins to dry off the tables and chairs ourselves. There were plenty of staff working, so it felt like someone should have been handling that. Overall, great food and friendly service. Just a little attention to keeping seating dry during rainy weather would make the experience even better.

My coworkers and I used to visit Doghouse every now and again a couple of years ago. I came to…read moreexpect good food and good customer service. This visit was disappointing. Before my Mom and I went, we checked the closing hours. According to our online search, the restaurant closed at 9:30pm. We weren't far away and confirmed via GPS that we would get there by 9:03pm. As we were arriving, I noticed a worker had started removing the outdoor sidewalk sign back inside the restaurant. I asked the worker if they were closing and was told yes. The owner or manager, I would assume he was, stated we could come in. We drove around the building to a dark parking lot. Once we parked, the owner/manager, who was taking out the trash, questioned where I parked. I had parked behind, probably, his car which was closest to where we had to walk around to the front to enter the restaurant. I told him I quickly parked so we can get in and order. Once we entered the restaurant, we tried ordering. The owner/manager was very inpatient once he realized we were ordering food and not ice cream as he said he thought we wanted. I ordered a Chilli Cheese Dog (no bun). Mom got a Regular Hotdog (with condiments) and Plain Tater Tots. As we waited for our food, at least five people came in for ice cream. Our food was prepared in a reasonable time. We left approximately 9:23pm. Mom was satisfied with her food. My Chilli Cheese Dog was short on the Chilli. There was not a lot of Chilli on the hotdog. I don't plan on returning to this establishment.

Unsure how this place exists. My wife and I dropped by for lunch and ordered one Chicago dog with…read moresalt and vinegar tots and one vegan dog with regular tots. The woman attending the front seemed upset we were bothering her (my "thank you" when she took my order was ignored as it was when our food was delivered). I had figured it would be hard to screw up hotdogs and tater tots, but Doghouse exceeded. The hotdogs were just under room temp, and my wife said hers was actually cold. The tater tots were very obviously reheated and entirely unappetizing. Just a seriously crummy experience to pay $30-something for. Our experience of the Doghouse boils down to old, bland, unappetizing food and rude service. Shame, too, as I love a good Chicago hotdog.

I am not a hot dog girl at all, but I've seen Cholo dogs at multiple food events so I decided to…read moregive them a try once and for all! Plus their stand is always eye catching! I had the cholo dog and it was delicious. Can officially say this is my one and only favorite hot dog! What caught my attention was the bbq sauce, chipotle mayo, and tajin; a girls dream! The jalapeños added a great touch; not too spicy, but a small kick. Love that the sauces helped make the hot dog feel that it wasn't dry and overall just mixed together for a great flavor. Wait time at the lake eola Christmas market wasn't crazy, a good 10 minutes? I'll can definitely say I'd order 2 next time!

So, when I was in Kissimmee I looked and found this one and went. It's about a 15 min ride from the Gaylord in Kissimmee, which is a mile from Disney's main entrance. Service here was great, friendly, and quick. The menu is what I'm familiar with, but all I wanted was a small Italian Beef with spicy giardiniera and a Chicago Dog. Since fries came with it, I wasn't arguing, as they use those crinkle cut fries and they serve them crispy, hot, and tasty! The Italian Beef was incredible, as it usually is! I was in Chicago a few weeks ago and got an Italian Beef from Gold Coast Hot Dogs and it was just ok, I forgot how amazing Portillo's were until getting this one - It Was Great! Very flavorful, tender, and moist meat with a flavorful au jus to dip it into. The giardiniera was fresh, crunchy, and spicy - it made for a great combination with that beef! The bun was so soft and held up to the sandwich and dipping it into the au jus perfectly! Next up was their Chicago dogs - AWESOME! Again, fresh veggies and a great bun. The Vienna beef hot dog was cooked spot-on as well! The place is nicely decorated and kept very clean. I'll definitely return when in the area!

I placed my order at the kiosk, so I didn't have much interaction with the staff aside from picking up my food when my number was called, but everything was smooth and efficient.

The sandwich was generously packed with flavorful, tender beef, and having the gravy on the side let me control how much I wanted--definitely the way to go. I also got the crinkle fries, which were fresh and delicious, and I ended up finishing every last one. One thing about Portillo's is their consistency. Every location I've visited delivers the same quality experience, and this one in Kissimmee is no exception.

I ordered a brat with mustard and sauerkraut, paired with sweet potato tots, and it was exactly what I needed for a mid-to-late evening bite.

Your food is cooked to order and everything comes out to perfection. The location reminds me of the diner that in HIMYM's episode with the perfect burger. That's ironic because it's the reason I popped in here for the first time. After seeing several people have a burger one night, it became a much needed experience for me. The burger came out delicious. You have to add the house sauce to it. You won't regret it. The tenders are so crispy but maintain all their juiciness as well. As I write this review, I'm seriously considering going back for one or both. Nonetheless, go give it a try. There is an added bonus that the bar next door allows you to eat your food there and have a beverage or two.
