    Chicago - 2 Chicago Style Hot Dogs and Fries
    Dave J.

    Two Chicago Dog Daily special with fries and a drink. It was what I wanted for lunch and exactly what I got. Good dog with fresh topping and crispy fries. It's not the greatest dining room to eat in, but it has tables and chairs which were both clean.

    So-called "Large" fries. Wonder what a small looks like.  Ripoff.
    Rick F.

    Not at all happy. Does this place look like a Chicago place? Yes. But I paid 3 bucks for a large fry and got less than half a basket. So O take a couple POCs to post to Yelp. They saw me. I go back up, and order a small fry. He fills the basket and gives me the stink eye. Otherwise, the food is pretty much What you'd expect at a place called Windy City Weiners.

    Gyro burgers burnt
    Friday F.

    I order food at 7pm food came at 830. When I get the food it's cold and don't look edible. Call manager Tyler that Saud this the way they deliver food . If I can give no stars o wood . This will be last time ordering from this place will be calling health department next. Close this place down.

    Gyros
    Cameron J.

    These gyros are outstanding. I'm always craving gyros so this was a great place. The tatziki sauce was one of the best I've ever had. Meat was a little overcooked but the sauce made up for it. Next time I'm getting the gyro loaded fries.

    Jumbo dog
    Jesmin N.

    Came across this place while we explored the Farmers Market on a Saturday - and it's come up on my yelp searches too but we never mad it down this way. The place is kind of divey but food is good. We had the jumbo dog (Chicago style), burger, loaded fries and chili cheese fries. I have to say, I actually prefer their hotdog to Portillo's. The prices are very reasonable so we enjoyed trying a few different things. They had different specials on each day of the week. They have a good selection from hotdogs and burgers, to salads and gyros. If you check in on Yelp you get a yummy chocolate chip cookie (nice and chewy/soft like I like it). Definitely a place I'm looking forward to trying again.

    Saturday special! Can't be beat.

    Hot dog and polish was good. Warm but not hot. The "cup" of chili was a small container about 1/4 cup in size.

Windy City Wieners is where to find okay Chicago style hot dogs and some other things. Open late. This is good for if you get the munchies after a night of partying and smoking. Cramped place with not a whole lot of room inside. It's one of those places you order at the counter and wait around until they call your order. There's only a few tables. It seems most people get carryout. They have a few things besides hot dogs. It's about $9 for an Impossible Burger. This comes with ketchup, lettuce, mustard, pickles, red onions, and tomatoes. Has some basic drunk food. It's got a couple locations, including this one close to the ISU campus that's open later. There's a few healthier options, including an Impossible Burger okay for vegans and vegetarians.

Now seating is very limited but the food and very friendly staff make up for that shortcoming. Also parking is limited as well.

So right before…read moreheading out of town on a Saturday, we found ourselves in need of a quick lunch and thought Portillo's would be a great choice. The place is huge, with three different dining rooms and an outside patio. The parking lot is large enough to accommodate such a crowd as well, as the place was pretty packed and we had no issues getting a spot not far from the restaurant. We did not wait long in line to order, and I was impressed by how fast the food came out. They obviously have a great system and plenty of workers to make sure you food comes out fast, fresh, hot, and correct. I got the chopped salad, since I needed something refreshing, and my partner relived his childhood with his favorite burger, fries, and a milkshake. The salad was great! I was skeptical about the pasta in it, but it added great texture and held onto the gorgonzola cheese well. Overall the flavors were balanced and each bite was tasty. The bread it is served with is also great. It came out still warm and went amazing with my salad. My partner loved his burger, saying it was just like he remembers, and let me try his vanilla shake. It was thick, creamy, and had great vanilla flavor. While I am not a plain vanilla fan, I found their ice cream very good. We were in and out in an hour and spent probably the same amount of money we would have at any other fast food or fast casual place. The bathrooms were also clean and had plenty of stalls. If given the opportunity again I would definitely come back.

This is very pervasive in Bloomington-Normal fast food places so as not to be disappointed I will heed the many negative reiew experiences and just stay away from here. If this was a good location the reviews would reflect the customer experience. The Portillos right down the street from here is known to be the worst most dismal location in their entire franchise maybe it's just the employees but many site the lack of management supervision in both these well known franchise locations.
