I decided to check out Portillo's and ordered the chicken sandwich combo with fries and a drink…read more Overall, the food was really good. The sandwich was fresh and flavorful, and the fries came out hot, which made it even better it definitely felt like everything was made to order. The inside has a really cute, old-school diner vibe that adds to the experience. It's a fun atmosphere and makes the visit feel a little different from your typical fast-casual spot. The service was also a highlight the young lady who took our order was friendly, welcoming, and took the time to explain menu options, which I appreciated. My only downside is the pricing. The items felt a bit on the higher side for what you get, so that's something to keep in mind if you plan to visit. Would I come back? Maybe but overall, it was still a great experience.

**INITIAL REVIEW**…read more First and foremost, this review is a collective of both my visit during the Yelp Week at four different Portillo's locations, mine being at Waterford Lakes, and my initial visit as a regular customer afterwards. Ergo, I will utilize the details for the Yelp Week that easily transfer to a regular visit, plus anything new I got through my second visit. For starters, this Portillo's is in a fantastic spot. If you haven't been to Waterford Lakes, it is a beautiful outdoor stripmall with many stores that are actually worth your time going into, not just store after store of clothing... though they do have some good options like Ross and Kohl's (latter is a "I believe it is there," but I know Ross is there). Upon coming up to Portillo's, you can tell it is that brand new genre of restaurant that is in-between fast food and fast casual. I don't even think it has a name yet. But if you've eaten at the new design for Chick-fil-a or at a Raising Cane's, you know it. Inside, Portillo's really leans on its Chicago roots with 1960s to 1970s silver trailer restaurant vibes, modernly updated. Imagine how those dive diners in the 60s and 70s were but with more technology, neon, and self-service commodities. For me, I have plenty of food here. Portillo's is known for their hot dogs so I had their jumbo chili cheese dog and Char-Grilled Maxwell Street Polish Sausage. I also got their breaded whitefish sandwich, beef and cheddar croissant, and cup of chili on its own. I will say the food, across the board, were all good. I thoroughly enjoyed the breaded whitefish sandwich as they actually make it thoroughly well. There are many places that do fried fish sandwiches in which the fish has been sitting in the freezer for too long and haven't been cooked thoroughly through. Ever bitten into a fish fillet and it is still wet, and sometimes slimy, on the inside? As mentioned earlier, this review is based on two visits. The Yelp Week was dine-in in which the service was great, Katherine was trained well and kept her cool whenever an issue arrisen, and the ambiance just fit the experience. My second time was through the drive-thru. What a below average experience that was. I must stress the staff was kind, but the fact that I had to look at the menu on one side of the building, drive around to the other side and make my order could be debilitating for those who don't have good memories. I wouldn't mind it so much, but isn't that the basic setup of drive-thru? What really got to me was how long it took Portillo's to make my order of two hot dogs and two sandwiches. The total was exactly 18 minutes from order start to finish. Wouldn't have been an issue but I was the only one in the drive-thru line at the time, and this was around 2 p.m. so there weren't that many patrons inside either. At least my food was wrapped securely to make sure nothing falls apart or spills. Ultimately, I am going to give this Portillo's location three-out-of-five stars for its review. I can't just shake the tantamount time it took for my drive-thru order to be made during stretch of downtime while being the only vehicle in said drive-thru. All I know is that I could possibly remedy that time if I take the time to order online or actually come down and order indoors There seems to be emphasize treating the indoor customers over the drive-thru.

I'll be honest -- I wasn't expecting much since it's a fast food chain, but this location actually…read moreimpressed me. I ordered the double burger, and it came out hot and fresh. The patties were juicy with a nice sear, the cheese was properly melted, and the toppings tasted crisp and fresh. The bun wasn't smashed or soggy, which is always a gamble at fast food places. It felt made-to-order rather than sitting under a heat lamp. The cod fish sandwich was surprisingly solid too. The filet was thick, crispy on the outside, and flaky inside without being greasy. The tartar sauce complemented it well without overpowering the fish. Definitely above average for a quick-service seafood option. Portion sizes were fair for the price, and the food came out quickly without feeling rushed. What stood out most though was the environment. The dining area was clean, tables were wiped down, and the overall space didn't feel chaotic. For a fast food spot, that makes a huge difference. The staff was friendly, patient at the register, and efficient during pickup. Overall, it's not gourmet -- but for a fast food joint, it's dependable, satisfying, and a solid choice when you want something quick without sacrificing quality. Would come back.

I love Indian food. The amount of people who are so ignorant about Indian food is appaling, and…read morethey need to be educated. Places like Tikka Shack are one of the places that can provide that education. Introducing Indian flavors in familiar dishes is a good way to transform picky eaters into true gormands. I wanted a quick, delicious dinner one evening before heading out on a road trip the next day. So I swung by to see what this recent move-in had to offer sleepy little Oviedo. Ambiance was very, well, Oviedo. A giant mural adorned the wall. Chickens, the Welcome sign, even a sandhill crane. It was very pretty. Service was superb. There was a nice cashier lady who gave off a owner or manager aura. We talked through the menu together and came up with a couple of delicious options for me to order. Option one was the Tikka Chicken Pizza (Tikka Sauce, garlic, fresh mozzarella, red onions, tomatoes on a Naan crust topped with cilantro). This thing was a lot of fun! A nice, thin, crispy crust, and mozz. But accompanied by a delicious tikka sauce. A little freshness from the onions and the tomatoes, and you have a very nice pie here. Something like that pizza is something a kid would try, or a subdued palate adult would try, and act as a gateway dish that would get them deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole that is the best cuisine on the planet. I love it. I also had a curry, which was nice. Very flavorful. I was expecting a little bland, but no, lots of good spice and flavor. Accompanied with a proper amount of basmati rice. Yummy. And I accented the whole meal with a cheesey, garlicky naan. Which is probably universally accepted as the best bread on the planet. Love that naan. Wash it all down with a mango lassi, and this place knocked my socks off. I don't know what brought them here to Oviedo, but I sure am glad they came. It's nice knowing that I have a fast-casual Indian place right down the road. Will definitely be back.

Pros: Love the Oviedo location. Oviedo food has been so…read moreboring for so long, but this place definitely fulfills a need. Food was delicious.

Tips: Get a pizza, get an extra side of rice for your curry, and get all the naan you can afford. So delicious.

This was my first visit to any Dave's Hot Chicken location. My 12 year old daughter insisted! I got…read morethe Lite Mild spice level but could have gone up a notch or two. The food was amazing! The chicken strips were huge and heavily seasoned, juicy but with a crunchy coating. I loved the slider! The slaw, pickles and bun really complimented the chicken. The fries were great as well, not too greasy and well seasoned. I think the Dave's sauce was definitely the star of the show and went great with the fries, chicken and slider! And it was more than enough food for one person in each meal (in my opinion). My daughter got a loaded shake too and they were not playing when they said "loaded"! It was full of M & M's! Service was fast and friendly. The place is cool with lots of graffiti but it's very small with just a few tables. We will definitely be back! Next time, I'm upping the heat but still getting the slider!

I've never had a bad experience here. Everyone greets you with a smile and that makes a big difference. I wish more places would. I ordered my usual, smoked turkey sandwich with a side of fries. They give alot of turkey on the sandwich which makes it feel like you are really getting your money's worth here. The fries were hot and crispy. I enjoy mixing some of the sauces and creating my own. I also make myself an Arnold Palmer with their fresh brewed tea and lemonade. I also got a banana pudding to go. It was yummy. Had a little too much whip on top for my liking but the pudding itself was very good. Thanks Mission BBQ!

My friend and I were shopping at Home Goods a few plazas down from Mission and the Mission truck…read morehappened to be in the plaza. After seeing the truck, we both agreed Mission was a must for lunch. We arrived shortly before noon on a Sunday and it was surprisingly packed. We were greeted at the register, and the woman introduced herself and asked us for our names. It was a very personable ordering experience. After ordering, we sat down, and at noon, we all rose for the national anthem. They do that every day at noon, which is why they were so busy. The manager came out and sincerely thanked us for being the best crowd in a long time. When the food is ready, they call your name and you pick it up at the counter. On each table, there are six bottles of BBQ sauce. The best sauce though is kept behind the counter in the fridge and it's called the "white sauce." It's a BBQ take on yum yum sauce and it's delicious. I ordered the pulled chicken, which was tender and delicious. My friend ordered burnt ends and sausage. We also ordered banana pudding, which was disappointing. It was 80% whip cream with very little pudding. Overall, it was a great experience. The service was excellent, the dining room had great energy and the staff were incredibly friendly.

However, we both agreed the truffle fries were a win! Perfectly crisp and topped with fresh rosemary, which really elevated the flavor. Service was fine, and the vibe was chill.

I've eaten here before and never thought much of it. But today? Everything just clicked. The $6 All-American Smash Burger with fries and a Coke was shockingly good. I'm talking "one of the best burgers I've had in a while" good. Fresh, hot, juicy, with crispy edges and a perfect amount of condiments dripping down my hand. You could tell the cook actually cared--pickles spread out, tomato centered, ketchup/mayo/mustard evenly distributed. That never happens at fast-food places. The fries were hot and freshly cooked, and the Coke had great carbonation. I ordered through the app at spot #4. It said five minutes but ended up being nine--not a big deal. The woman who brought out the order was very polite, double-checked everything, and made sure it was right. Only small gripe: the Sonic app only lets you select five condiments. I wanted four ketchups but had to settle for one salt, two peppers, and two ketchups. Bottom line: unexpectedly excellent meal today.
