I got my order to go but the gentleman who took my order was kind enough to offer me a cup for some water. The spot was happening. Music, good vibes, the decor was fun. I couldn't decide which meal I was trying so I'm definitely going to make another trip sometime soon. I got the tenders with mac but added a side of greens. Boy oh boy the greens were the star and wow my tastebuds were incredibly satisfied. I've had greens but these were like some ultimate flavors and holy greens i definitely could just order some of these every now and again by themselves. Mac was great. Definitely complimented the greens. The tenders though omg. The flavor was insane. I gotta try them with the waffles next time for sure. Overall the wait wasn't long and my food was still hot. I ended up sharing with my son and he was even raving about it. Great service, fun and lit atmosphere, last but not least food was fire. Side note: people complain about price but I'll be honest, when the food is good and staff are amazing, the price to me doesn't matter. You get what you pay for and let's be real, this isn't chic fil a, this is hot boys and the chicken is definitely that.

Mixed reviews. Five of us visited. I enjoyed my chicken sandwich at the "mild plus" heat level. The…read moreother four people I was with got "medium" and "medium plus" (they are hot sauce / heat lovers) and they all hated the food. It honestly hurt to see all that chicken go directly into the garbage, but they claim it was inedible. Since it's not a saucy type of flavoring, but a dry rub, they said that the heat was painful, and not flavorful. Back to the sandwich I enjoyed... I felt that there was a sweetness to the flavor that I liked, which I could see not everyone enjoying. There is also a hot dusting over the french fries which exacerbates any discomfort people are having from the heat. There really wasn't anything to cool it down. The macaroni and cheese was piping hot, although not spicy.

I ordered the pork tenderloin for $11. The tenderloin was extremely large. It was hot and moist but lacked flavor. It needed a bit more seasoning. My wife ordered the Reuben sandwich. She said it was good. It cost $12. She ordered extra dressing and they charged us an additional $.75. Neither entree came with a side dish included. You could order fries for an additional $3. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and friendly. The kitchen was very slow. Our server said some of the kitchen help called in sick. That explains our long wait. If we were in the area, we would consider going back to 5th Ave Grill. However, it's not a definite yes or a hard no.

On the most recent visit I ordered ahead online and was able to pickup at the drive thru window. The staff was helpful and prompt. I got the chopped salad, Chicago dog, Chicago beef, and fries.

Mustard and that is usually it. Fries were good for crinkle cut. The shake had a cherry flavor rather than the date flavor. I was not expecting that but I kind of liked it. Clean and bright was an issue. There were quite a few people behind the counter but not enough to clean tables. It was my first time at a Portillo's, so maybe their drive in is more of a focus. I do not live in a state that has a Portillo's but I would go back to one in Arizona for Spring Training.

The best thing I had was the mozzarella sticks...believe the hype!! 5/5 so flavorful and that cheese pull???? Chef's kiss! Worth the drive for the mozzarella sticks alone.

I wasn't really impressed but I'm loving the new menu. I ordered the cauliflower sandwich, fries, and mozzarella stick. I wasn't expecting the hot to be so hot but it was a 10/10. The restaurant was clean. The service was a 4/5 which is why I didn't give a 5 stars for my review. The main reason is because I wasnt greeted when I entered the restaurant or when I got to the counter. The guy was just standing there. He didnt say anything to me until I greeted him.

The manager comes to the window, super rudely, exasperated saying "I would have to refund the WHOLE order and ring it ALL IN AGAIN" I said yeah that's fine thank you. It takes her like five minutes to ring in two meals, she shakes her head the whole time doing it, and says nothing to me as I apologized for some reason? Yikes. Won't be going back. Only saving grace was the lovely lady politely taking orders and the food was right. But that manager needs to get a different job or stop being so miserable and rude at work.

I was honestly in shock how amazing she was...like an orphan who received his first motherly love.

I was very amazed by how juicy it was, and the cheese was melty with the shack sauce...yummy. The store was also hella clean, with very fresh filtered cold water tap for all diners to drink.

We stopped by before heading to a Fever game and grabbed a quick meal. I ordered the chicken bites with ranch, and they were tasty. I also tried the spicy fries and absolutely loved them. They seemed to be seasoned with a Cajun style seasoning that gave them a nice kick. My husband ordered a beef hot dog and regular fries. He enjoyed the spicy fries I shared with him but still happily ate his regular fries as well. One thing I appreciate is that they offer free water, which is a nice way to save a little money on drinks. Since it was a gloomy, chilly day, we decided to dine inside. There was a good amount of seating available, including both booths and tables. When dining in, you're given a number, and the staff brings your food directly to your table. Service was good, and our food came out quickly. I used one of the weekly reward codes and received a free cheeseburger after spending $10, making the visit an even better value. Parking at this location is convenient. There's a shared public lot off New York Street behind Java House that offers free parking for up to two hours. After that, or if the lot is full, metered street parking is also available.

When we stopped today, we knew we would have a good Friday lunch. What we were blessed with was Adrion, a young male with great customer service skills. Adrion assisted us on the kiosk when ordering. He then cooked our order, and personally delivered it to our table with a smile. While enjoyed a quiet meal in a clean dining room, I saw Adrion help another dining room customer, before taking a bagged order outside to waiting car customer. Wow! Wow! I'm sure Adrion's NOT getting enough appreciation. I asked his name, so I could give him some customer love. So glad you were working today Adrion. God bless the employees with a good "work ethic."

They were hot, I suppose, so that was a plus, but this wouldn't be the item that would bring me back. As for the cheeseburger, it seemed like it was having a bit of an identity crisis. Was it going for a smash burger? Something in the middle range? It was hard to say. And the cheese? It was also trying to decide if it wanted to melt or stay intact. Overall, I don't think I need to visit this incarnation of Steak 'n Shake. I'll just think back on the fond memories of the 80s and 90s (and their outstanding commercials)

They are making the food fresh as you order it, but not individually they're making it behind the counter you're ordering from what they have recently made. But it is obvious that they are cooking the food and making the food as the process goes. The people behind the counter were all very friendly to me, though there were more people making food then selling it to the customers. Which caused a little line to form, even though they had five or six people behind the counter. But I understand they have to keep making the food. The inside is very clean and industrial has all chipotles are. Food was good and it did taste fresh the items in the bins like the lettuce and the beans all of that looked really fresh and in good shape as I was placing my order. And it tasted good as expected.
