    Mostly positive, yet mixed results from our first foray to Jets the other day. On the plus side my…read morephone-in order experience was great in that upon identifying we were trying them for the first time, they overviewed the options and graciously applied a coupon that knocked like $6-7 off! Then the pizza came out faster than I thought it would, making my pickup timing perfect. The pizza itself was fantastically airy and light inside - not unlike a really well-made focaccia bread - and those cheesie-crisped crust corners are pure money! Having heard that these corners were the bomb, I requested the 2 half-pie / 8-corner pizza, on the downside though, the pizza we received only had four. Perhaps the coupon applied changed things, but we were a bit disappointed as it absolutely was the best part. We rationalized this based on the out-the-door cost of $17 making it OK, but I'll be more specific next time. All in all Jets was a pleasant surprise and certainly worth trying.

    3 points to consider 1. Affordable: Order the specials…read morethrough the website and save money. In addition, they don't charge or add on an "on line processing / upcharge fee". 2. Consistent: Regardless of what time of the day you order your pizza, it's cooked correctly. Unlike other chains where your pizza is undercooked when they just opened the store due to the fact they are too lazy to preheat the oven and then burn your pizza at the end of the shift because they don't take into account the residual heat build up and just continue to churn out one burnt pizza after the other, Jet's Pizza tends to be Consistent throughout its operating hours. Value: You're not really saving any money if you throw half the pizza away because it tastes bad. Coupons, sales or promotions mean nothing to your wallet when the pizza ens up in the garbage the following day. You're not throwing your pizza away, you're throwing away your hard earned money.

    While my partner grew up eating Portillo's, I had never had the chance to try it. 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.

    I haven't been to a Portillo's in over 15 years, just once, and that one was in Chicago, so I…read morewasn't sure what to expect. The store in Normal is about a 15 minute drive off Interstate 74 from the south side of town. I started with 2 Chicago-style hot dogs. There was a pickle spear, a tomato slice, and some peppers in with my hot dog, on a poppy seed bun. I devoured them. Then I let my wife know where I was eating. She suggested I try a hot and wet, and the chocolate cake. The hot dogs were excellent so I decided to try them. I wasn't sure what a hot and wet was so I asked the cashier who took my order. She said "I got you." It was a slow-roasted Italian beef sandwich with hot peppers and dipped in the beef's natural "gravy" that dripped off it while it was roasting. I opened the package and started eating immediately. There was no stopping until it was gone. The photo in their online menu is pretty accurate. I didn't pause long enough to take one myself. Then there was the cake. If you like chocolate cake, this is a no-brainer. It was definitely non-dry. It was likely the best cake I''ve eaten all year. The restaurant was nice and clean, with someone cleaning up after customers as soon as tables were vacated. The cashiers were friendly, and the woman calling out the numbers was extremely friendly. I saw her offer to help a woman across the dining area from the pick-up window to package up a large to-go order. She also noticed that I went back for the cake. I will have to stop here again the next time I'm passing through.
