Portillo's

Very cute decor inside, but a bit before the time Portillo's was established in Chicago. The…read moreemployees here range from young and frightened to more mature and used to engaging with customers. Just something I observed. Since the creator, Dick Portillo is a north sider, they favor giardiniera on the beef rather than sweet green peppers like old school southsiders in Chicago do. Plus my request for a little red sauce on top, which really puzzled the cashier, so I had to explain it's like marinara, was a no go. They don't have any. I had to do a count down with the guy making the sandwich to get a proper submerge for the dip so it would be wet. BTW, you have no idea how that red sauce will make a beef sandwich sing! The Chicago dog was well prepared, but the bottom of the bun opened up about 3/4 of the way thru eating it, so had to really work at not losing the rest of the dog and the toppings all over the plate. A bit of a battle ensued. While everything was okay, the beef especially didn't have nearly the amount of flavor you'd get at a mom n pop joint in Chicago, which are everywhere. I guess when you can't get the Real thing, beggers can't be choosers.

Review Visit: May 12th, 2015…read more I'm still salty about this place. Why am I salty about Freddy's? It's not that I had bad service or anything like that. It's just all that I could taste when I ate my food. I wasn't even sure if I was going to visit Freddy's since it is more of a chain than a locally-owned place and the latter is more of my focus for my Travel List. It's a small chain with rare locations for my area, so I figured "why not". Freddy's was unique yet all-too-familiar upon entering. It's your standard fast food eatery where you place your order at the counter and wait for it to be brought to your table or you pick it up at the counter. My girlfriend and I were rather hungry, so we ordered a lot of food. Something that can be a bit risky if it's a new place that neither of you have been to. I ordered a burger, a hot dog and some fries. The fries are just like the ones you get at Steak N Shake. Actually, if you took S'n'S, made it red/white themed and made it more fast food orientated, you would have Freddy's. We wasted no time chowing down the food. I ate the hot dog first and it was okay. It was good but the flavor was a bit overpowered by the salt in the dog, bread, and toppings. Then I moved on to the burger (while munching on the fries in-between everything). The fries themselves, I hated. They were good on their own as most french fries are. Its just something about thin-cut fries that makes me angry. Drop some normal-sized fries or steakhouse fries in front of me and you have a happy blogger. But, that's just a personal preference. Again, the fries themselves were fine despite their lack of size. Where was I? Oh. The burger. The burger suffered the same fate as the hot dog. It was pure salt. It's as if they took the salt they normally sprinkle on the fries and sprinkled it on the burger and dog instead. This lead to some mild discomfort after the meal, if you can imagine that. The bloat was real. For it being a simple combo meal, it was alright when it came to the value. A simple burger, a hot dog, fries, and a drink should fill most everyone up. They have other combo meals should you not be a fan of hot dogs or burgers. I would visit a Freddy's again if I was with someone who had never been before. I'm always for second chances. I would make sure to get a water with my meal to help my body deal with the potential sodium overload that was being cooked for me.

This was one of the most frustrating fast-food experiences I've had in a long time. I was…read moreovercharged, and to make matters worse, two separate meals were missing items. It's hard to understand how that many mistakes can happen on a single order. When I brought the issues to the staff's attention, there was no apology, no sense of urgency, and no indication that anyone cared. They acted as though it was an inconvenience that I expected the order I paid for to be correct. Mistakes happen, but poor customer service is a choice. Between the overcharge, the incomplete meals, and the dismissive attitude, I left feeling like customer satisfaction was the last thing on anyone's mind. I won't be in a hurry to come back.

Thankfully we still were able to get one cider, and they had a selection of other beers. The cider was tart and refreshing, and I really like the berry mocktail, which had ginger beer, and a mix of berries in it. As for food, the Nashville hot chicken sandwich came with a lot of heat which was great. I got the dry rub version, which is spicer than the saucy version. The horseshoe sandwich is a local favorite, which is an open faced sandwich with sliced bread topped with meat (we got the angus beef), fries, and cheese sauce. It was quite heavy and creamy because of all the sauce. Overall we enjoyed our meal and our server was very friendly, although service was on the slower side.

It's a fine place to stop if you're not too picky about what you're eating. Diner is a misnomer. It's fast food - burgers, fries, etc. On the upside, service was fast and the food was piping hot. On the other hand, Lord help this place if US Foods is late on their delivery. Nearly everything was straight out of the freezer into the fryer. Except the overly wet chicken salad. That was probably straight out of the 5 gallon bucket. The chicken strips were more like planks, both in shape and texture. They were maybe 1/16 - 1/8 inch thick and most of that was breading. Oh, and the decor is Rte 66 theme park and the ketchup is generic.
