Another huge reason that keeps me coming back is the people that work there, they are always so happy and talkative when I walk in. From the first time I ordered it to now, I have not called in an order simply because I enjoy talking to the folks behind the counter, they really know how to make you feel welcome in a seemingly unwelcoming world. Thank you, Eddie!

They do many kinds of dogs and a few other sandwiches. Now here's the bad news: they have no "fryer" so no fries! No onion rings! No potato skins! No Tater Tots! The good news is that it's worth going just for the dogs. Toppings are perfect. I had a perfect Chicago-style and my wife loved her All American. We split a dog with kraut. Still needing sides, wife had Mac & Cheese that she liked and I enjoyed "Grandma's" slaw. It was just like my grandma's! So - get in the mood for a hot dog and go get them. Recommended!

Everyone knows the best hot dogs are Vienna beef and anyone from Chicago or NYC will attest to that. T Allen's is good, but the buns are blah. A real Chicago dog had a steamed poppyseed bun. This place checked all the boxes and was cheap! I used to go to a place in Michigan City with my dad every time we went to the movies. This place " tastes like my childhood" thank you for the nostalgia. It's nothing fancy, just some sweet ladies working behind the counter. Grab a meal here then go to St Patrick's park for a picnic. They also have burgers, Italian beef, and ice cream, plus soup! I'll be back!

The staff were not friendly or able to well describe the food we almost ordered a BOX of fries for $20. Vs the Large fries that was plenty for us. We both found ourselves catching glaring looks from the staff that was awkward . It feels like we're just in the way, 'can you move so I can clean that table.' The beef and sausage bowls were ok, a bit of a soup and the beef was gritty. The sausage was fantastic! The fries were too salty for my bride, but I liked them and the cheese sauce was good. The Chocolate shake was tasty ! Overall not sure I'm heading back, but give it a try maybe your experience will be better.

It was lunchtime in July 2026 and my boyfriend was surprised to learn that I had never been inside…read moreof a Portillo's before (I once got a shake at their drive-thru about a year ago though). So our lunch location was quickly chosen and we went in. Immediately, I was surrounded by vintage Americana memorabilia, reminiscent of a Route 66 diner, in a VERY large space. The shock of the decor was intense yet very exciting! So if you are unaware, this location is one of 107 Portillo's around the US and is a fast-casual hot dog restaurant chain based founded in 1963 out of Chicago. This location opened in 2018 and is one of 6 locations in Indiana. The food is like Five Guys if it specialized in hot dogs instead of burgers and if it went for a maximalist decor concept instead. For lunch, my bf and I ordered: 2 Chicago dogs $3.99 each, 1 Char'diniera dog $4.99 (a pepper and cheese stuffed hot dog), 1 side salad $5.89, and 1 order of onion rings $3.89. The prices are not too bad in my opinion! It took about 5ish minutes for our order to be ready. I thought the meat and bun were of quality and the salad was generous with cheese. My bf loved the limited-time-only Char'diniera hot dog and thought it was one of the best fast food hot dogs he had ever had! High praise indeed haha! Personally, I've had better Chicago style dogs but enjoyed Portillo's version very much. Neither of us had the calorie budget for one of their cake milkshakes - where they put AN ENTIRE SLICE OF CAKE INTO A MILKSHAKE. And yes, it is an incredibly gluttonous 1500 calories. RIP to whomever gets one of these more than once! Overall, I had a good time and a pleasant experience and I will definitely have Portillo's again.

Located only a mile from my new Indiana home, my partner and I had a filling lunch here on a busy Saturday afternoon in September 2026. The decor is the opposite of minimal - there's a LOT of hockey memorabilia all around. My partner has eaten here a few times before while this was my first visit. I had a fun time looking around while we waited for our food. We ordered: 2 Coney Specials, 1 Sonoran dog, 1 Nashville Hot Dog, 1 order of onion rings, 1 order of french fries, and 1 Coke Zero. It cost about $37. It was delivered to our table after about 5ish minutes by a very friendly server. The fries were good but basic but my boyfriend loved their large onion rings. The coney special dogs are tasty and worth it but boyfriend said he wouldn't order the expensive Sonoran dog again. Was it the best food I have ever had? Absolutely not. But was it made with love from a dedicated staff and also very locally owned? Yes! I will happily add Coney Express to the list of restaurants I'll continue to visit from time to time.

My story: When I was visiting Vancouver, Canada, there was a street vendor who served "Japanese hot dogs". They were quite scrumptious, and I was jealous that the city residents could have these fancy dogs anytime they pleased. I am jelly no more. While touring the Wellfield Botanical Gardens during their special "Tulips and Tunes" festival, the Wiener Shack made their presence known. I stopped by their booth to grab a drink (a bottle of Boylan birch beer), and decided to return. Upon coming back, I tried the "Vortex". Ahh, the Vortex. What a fantastic adventure of a hot dog. Take a delightfully seasoned hot dog, add Sargento's provolone cheese, grilled onions, a dash of some raspberry something-or-other sauce, and pack it all into... a glazed twist doughnut. I know what you're thinking: WTF. Well, I guarantee you that it was most delicious. Also, the guy and lady who was running the stand were very friendly and helped me with recommendations. And I can't believe that this is right here in Goshen. I WILL be checking out their storefront sometime.

The Chicago dog was perfect with fresh ingredients and a nice crunch from the pickle slice. Hard to beat the loaded Frito bowl though: a layer of Fritos on the bottom, then chili, cheese,lettuce, tomatoes and peppers. We were totally rejuvenated and ready to go after this perfect outdoor luncheon. It's next to the railroad tracks at Hudson Lake. This is definitely well off the beaten path and well worth the trip. It's a place where time stands still. It could be the 40's or the 50's where you took the train from Chicago for a picnic and maybe never left? There's also an ice cream stand next to Digzys' so you've really got it all here. Check out of the rat race and return to a kinder gentler time!

My boyfriend and I were feeling silly in June 2026 and wanted ice cream for brunch so decided to go here after a quick search on Yelp. Inside felt like a mix of Grease, Pleasantville, and the Fallout TV show with tin lunchboxes, pictures of classic cars, and cheeky signs decorating every square inch of the inside. While waiting for our food, we hummed along to the music of the 1950s and 1960s playing on the speakers from the same Sirius XM station my parents listen to. Some artists we heard during our lunch there included The Ronettes, Elvis, The Bobettes, The Crests, and The Temptations! Since we both ordered "baskets," we got our sandwiches with fries and a soda. My boyfriend got the green river phosphate soda and I got a diet root beer. His phosphate was so bright neon green that it definitely stood out! We only waited about 5 minutes for our food but that was still enough time to look around the place and listen to some of the orders being placed by cars over the speakers as well as flip through an early 2000s book on some of the must visit hamburger restaurants in the USA. See attached picture for a screenshot of that list. Now, my grilled pb and banana sandwich was a decent size. Not too big and actually reflecting the portion sized people in the 1950s used to eat! The prices reflected the "small-ish" portions as well as we only paid $7.99 for my basket and his was $10.99. The white toast was heavily buttered and the pb was creamy. I would have preferred crunchy pb for texture reasons. The crinkle fries needed salt but they hit the spot! The food itself wasn't anything special but the vibes were perfect! After eating our real food, we then got our heavily anticipated bowls of sugar upon sugar. My bf's medium tin roof sundae was quite large and indulgent ($4.99). But I definitely went hard in indulging. I treated myself to the classic cars sundae ($5.99) with a scoop of birthday cake and caramel moose tracks with strawberry syrup topping. I laugh cried when it came out, I was so happy! It was sooooo much sugar. The total with cash was about $32 and with credit card, it was $33.34 as there is a 4% fee for using a card. I left 40 bucks in cash for the meal and the tip. Then we left and I immediately died of a sugar rush. The end!
