There is even a bar are with counter seating and three - five tables (two standard height and three counter height. There is a monstrous screen behind the bar for sports, but they mostly show videos of Greece, but they are mesmerizing videos of a beautiful country. It's a cleaner version of Dengeo's. And, dare I say, better version. Except for their avgolemeno soup. Such a weak travesty. Please fix this. It's just a watery mess. However, everything else is delicious. I ordered the Greek Chicken with their lemon-butter rice. They debone the chicken and serve atop a mountain of their rice. If also had their potatoes (which are good) but the rice is magical. The first time we went, they had a serve yourself soda fountain and they since got rid of it and sell soda in bottles and cans. They do still have a self-serve water station. Once you order, staff will bring to your table, so please tip when you order or leave on the table as they do come by and clear your table as well. It is first come first served and you grab your own tables. I've been there on weekends and weeknights and they get pretty packed. The food is flavorful and quite tasty. The portions are huge so you're definitely going to bring something home. Nostimo is now in our rotation of places to go in a pinch and they do have an outdoor seating area, too.

As you walk up, you know that you've stumbled across something truly special. Portillo's is a one…read moreof a kind place that is a Chicago staple for a reason. Portillo's has anything from a Chicago dog to their famous chocolate cake. Their goal is make everything fresh and to bring Chicago to every restaurant! It is bright, charming, and rustic! With a hint of modern flare. You feel as if you're walking inside of a downtown Chicago home. I absolutely loved it! The food was all incredible and made to order. And, when I tell you that their is everything to choose from on their menu, I mean it. Everyone was very sweet, knowledgeable, and happy to help in any way. Everything is sparkling clean! They had plenty of seating inside, outside. Their decorations are rustic and fun! I love the attention to detail. If you haven't tried this place, put it on the list to try! They also have a store that sells sweatshirts, tee-shirts, stuffed animals, and so much more! Which, I really enjoyed! Chicago Dog-this hot dog is flavorful and has unique layers of flavor that you simply must try! The meatiness from the hot dog. The savory notes from the celery salt. The acidity from the mustard. The tangy sweetness from the relish. The sweet refreshing zesty notes from the tomatoes. To the crisp crunch from the onions. All placed on a soft fluffy poppyseed hotdog bun. Which, makes for a one of a kind Chicago Dog. Every last layer makes for one unforgettable meal that you keep coming back to. Fries-These fries are crispy and crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside. They are crinkle cut so every little wave grabs onto the perfect amount of salt. Which, makes for addictively delicious fries. I absolutely can't get enough of them. They also are barely golden brown. So, they aren't stiff. They are slightly bendy! Which, I love. Cheese sauce-This sauce is excellent! It is creamy, cheesy, and savory. It's the perfect combination of heavenly goodness! It's thick and gooey but, not stiff. This stuff is liquid gold! I love to dip my fries in it to create some cheesy fries. I'll walk in just for this! Portillo's Chocolate Cake-This cake is moist and dense with layers of creamy chocolate frosting! It is rich with notes of butter, cream, chocolate, cocoa, vanilla, caramel, a hint of coffee, which, all tie together for an unforgettable cake! If you're ever having a bad day come and get a slice of this cake. You'll be having a wonderful day after that first bite! So, next time you see a Portillo's, stop by for a tasty treat. You won't regret it.

The line was blessedly short at 12:15 PM and we were able to quickly place and then pick up our order all within 10 minutes. We got exactly what we came for - Chicago style deliciousness.

I've literally passed this place for 6+ years and it wasn't until recently that my husband wanted to try it so in we went! The restaurant is very old school taqueria vibes. The staff is quick to take your order and there's always patrons coming in and out to either dine in or pick up their orders (there's also a drive thru). We got our food fairly fast abd it's nice that they give you a selection of salsas on your tray. I tried the steak quesadilla with pick de gallo and it was good! I also really enjoyed the rice and the beans are frijoles charros and not refried which is different than a lot of other local spots. My husband got the carne asada but his favorite thing has truly been the rice, beans, and cebollitas (bulb onions). He's gone back 5x just for that! Overall, this seems to be a place that will be on rotation now. Don't judge a book by its cover!

We ordered 2 steak burritos and steak quesadillas…read more The online menu is not very clear on what's on the burritos aside from your choice of meats. The orders came with beans & rice but because we didn't see that on the website we ordered extra which was too much beans & rice. Beans are pretty soupy but very flavorful. My burrito while a good size the steak is a lower grade of meat, a lot of gristle in the steak. The salsas were very good. I'd order again maybe just not the steak.

We went to Johnnie's Beef for a $7 Italian beef sandwich…read more The gentleman at the register took my money, but failed to give me a receipt with an order number. I thought nothing of it... Until 5 minutes later. "Beeg mija!" a middle-aged lady yelled from behind the counter. Her eyes darted angrily around the diner, looking for a landing strip for her palpable annoyance, "Beeg! Mija!" The gentleman behind the counter glanced nonchalantly in my direction. "BEEG MIJA!!!!" she screamed. I stared at her from across the restaurant, confused. Our eyes locked like a heat-seeking missile from a 1980s action flick, finding its target. She thrust a stubby index finger in my direction, "Ju! Beeg mija!" I walked to the counter, "Italian beef?" "Jes, da-meet! BEEG MIJA!" she hollered, incensed, and threw the bag in my direction. I intuited she must have been attempting to say, "Big meat. Hot." Mind you, that STILL made no sense. "How the &$@ would I have gotten that from that?!" I hollered. "EETS'A BEEEEEG MI-JA!" "Ok, lady."

When…read morethe grocery store wasn't open and my teenager was dropped off at school, I knew if I went back inside the house, I wouldn't want to come back out in the cold so I washed the car and then decided to treat myself to said Diet Dr. Pepper concoction. While I was ordering on the app, my brain saw a corn dog was $0.99 so "Why the hecks not?" and then a deal popped up for a Jr. Double Cheeseburger for $1.99. Sometimes my brain craves doing something out of the ordinary to combat the responsible part of my brain that sticks to a routine so I got both. The drink was just what I remembered, the corn dog was hot, crispy, and the batter had a good taste. I got the cheeseburger with no cheese (my body cannot process it lol). The patties tasted like they were from the golden arches. It was a little too saucy for my liking, but I wouldn't say no to it if we crossed paths again. The ambiance was...my car so it was clean and had my favorite radio station playing. The food was brought out fairly quickly and without much fanfare, which was okay with me. I parked as close as I could to the door so the staff member didn't have to trek super far. Again, not bad for a mini adventure off the usual path, but it can be a whole season again before I visit again!
