The patties were hand-formed and perfectly cooked and seasoned, the veggies fresh & crisp and that bun. That bun is spectacular, soft, pillowy and had a very nice texture and flavor. Will be back for sure and please let Rain know that her amazing attitude and personality made all the difference!

First time trying Portillo's and wow -- I was impressed. I ordered a Chicago-style hot dog (no…read moreonions, peppers, or pickles), a chili cheese dog, a medium fry, a chocolate cake shake, and a slice of their chocolate cake. The hot dogs had great flavor, and I liked the amount of toppings. The quality was solid, with a nice snap to the bite. The fries were mediocre nothing special But the real stars of the meal were the cake shake and the slice of chocolate cake. The hot dogs would make my rating a 4 but the cake slice + cake shake bumps my review up to a solid 5! I wasn't expecting the shake to be that good -- it was loaded with pieces of cake in every sip. The chocolate cake itself was moist, airy, and rich without being overly sweet. It had the perfect balance between cake and frosting. I'll definitely be back and making this a regular treat.

First heard of Portillo's at the car show at Reliant stadium a few months back as they had a vendor…read morebooth in the arena and they handed out info about the place. Just been so busy but finally got time to go and try. I will say that I wasn't impressed overall. But I also knew I was going for a hotdog and my friends were gonna order a broiled chicken sandwich. First from outside the bldg looks nice and modern and has a diner vibe. Inside looks diner/retro sorta and plenty of seats inside and outside. Overall appearance looks good. Staff friendly and welcoming and helpful with our questions since first time visitors. My main issue is they are pretty much à la carte. But do have a few combos on a center menu bar. but it didn't list all items or show all items available in combo form. I asked cashier if I had to order each item separate and she said yes. So my hotdog was $3.89, reg fries $2.99 and drink $2.49 so a total of $9.37 before taxes and the broiled chicken sandwich $7.19 so a total of $12.67 ea. Total for all 3 was $37.57 The hotdog had no size choices meaning regular or 100% beef frank or larger size. So the hotdog I got was a regular sized hotdog and the bun and toppings were bigger in size and portion then hotdog. The broiled chicken looks like a half of piece of a chicken patty, very small for the price. Way smaller than other fast food places like a chic-fil-a, Whataburger or Popeyes. The fries were actually really good but I wanted onion rings so when I asked the cashier if they were real onions cut up and battered or even pre frozen but real onion rings and not fake onions rings like BK she said no they are not real onion rings so I passed on ordering them. Once we went to the drink station they were out of sweet tea, and didn't have lids to fit the cups they gave us. I got a soda and then when I picked up our food I saw a drink station for drive thru and asked cashier if she could give me a sweet tea and she did but it didn't taste good at all so I decided to drink the root beer I originally poured. Trash bins were full, my table was clean but the seat I had to wipe down crumbs before sitting down. They had a lot of workers behind the counter not sure why there wasn't one or two in dining room cleaning and taking trash out and restocking drink station. Over all the hotdog did taste ok, but as a comparison the Chicago dog I use to get at James Coney Island with the option to upgrade to a beef frank is way better overall. They really should add an option to upgrade to a bigger dog. The chicken sandwich overall tasted good but very small and over priced. Due to portion size and higher prices compared to what you can get at other fast food places with larger portions I probably won't return.

I had such an excellent experience with another location in Dallas, that my hopes were extremely…read morehigh for another location! And let alone, a new location! This location is right around the corner from me. It's newer in the 99/249 area, so I'd imagine, they'd be on point while everything around them is opening up. I came here for a late lunch around 130/2 during the week. Ordered a kids meal, bc I don't eat a lot, calm down! But 2 piece chicken with a side of fries. Now let me be clear! I ordered the same thing in Dallas and this was not a busy time of day. The tenders were super tiny, and came with mac instead of the fries I ordered and repeated twice! I was already back home, so no going back. But in the order that was repeated to me, she said fries. Anywho, the chicken was so small, and not what I recall from the other location. Yes kids meal, but also, consistency across stores should be the same. The order was wrong, didn't care for the mac, and the gravy I asked for was not in my order either. Will attempt to try again, but if they're competing with what's around them, they should make some quick changes to accuracy and quality of meals/service.

New location to Houston area and friends of mine wanted to try and they researched and told me…read morethere are a lot in Austin. So guess they want to expand to Houston market. Located in a HEB lot off 99 and I feel the HEB helps with traffic flow. Bldg looks nice from outside and inside is new and modern looking but sorta basic nothing fancy about it. Basic front counter and 1 small menu board and 1 small drink station. But in my opinion from a business point of view too many workers. The place was busy but not swamped to have 10+ workers. But drive-thru had many cars so maybe I'm wrong. Greeted as soon as we walked in with a worker saying "welcome in" and we placed our order and asked some questions and the cashier/order taker was friendly and helpful with explaining things to us. Prices are low ($3.50 for single and $8 for a single cheese combo) but the burgers are very small...as a comparison they are the size of a Jr burger. I ordered a single cheese without knowing this and my friends ordered doubles. $30 total. On reciept they break down the order and they number the burgers so you know who gets which burger as I added items to mine. The burger comes with lettuce and 1 tomato slice and special sauce (mayo based) I added onions and pickles but did not add ketchup or mustard as I wanted to try the special sauce and see if any good. Fries are thin and have skin on and were really crunchy, the fries were the best part of my experience, the burger was just OK and too small for adult male. My friends got the doubles and said it equaled a single normal size burger you'd get at other burger places as far as how filling the double was. I would suggest ordering a double if you're an adult who's hungry. They also have banana bread which seems odd for a burger place and really good cookies. We tried the bread and cookie and both were really good and sign states fresh made daily in store. Over all good experience but portion size to small for me to go back as I prefer a good size burger

Crispy, golden, and honestly the best part of the meal. 2 stars But then Trill committed a crime. No tea. In Houston. At a burger joint. I'm sorry, but that's like a Buc‑ee's with no bathrooms. It just feels illegal on a spiritual level. Now, the burgers. I wanted to love them. I really did. But the flavor was flatter than a parking lot in Katy. The only things carrying the bite were the cheese and the Trill sauce--and even that sauce, which is supposed to be Thousand Island‑adjacent, is doing its own thing entirely. Not bad, just not what it claims to be. The vegan burger? Listen... I appreciate the effort, I really do. But it was suspiciously meatlike. One bite and I tapped out. The cheese and pickles were nicely balanced, though. And because the cashier mentioned the sauce was mayo‑based, I played it safe and got it on the side. I'm not convinced they fully understand what "vegan" means, but at least they're trying. Also the bathroom needed a quick refresh. Not a disaster, just noticeably not‑fresh. Bottom Line Trill Burgers has personality for days: -Great music -Great staff - Great fries But the burgers need a glow‑up, the vegan labeling needs a little education, and the lack of tea is a Texas tragedy. It's a fun spot with potential just not quite trill enough to live up to the hype.

There are kiosk if you want to place an order, but I traditionally like to get the vibe of the workers who greet me. I went to the counter and someone immediately came to take my order. The greeting was lackluster but ok. I was really not totally familiar with the different options and I had questions. My questions were answered appropriately but really did not understand the hot and not options. I ended up getting the hot peppers on the side. The taste of the sausage with Italian beef was phenomenal. I loved the crinkle cut fries. The store was clean and well organized I will visit again.

There's nothing worse than ordering a "cooked fresh, made to order burger" and ending up with one that's barely warm. I was told, "All of our burgers are made to order," which sounds right. But when you get home after a 7-minute drive and your burger is registering 74 degrees, it definitely feels a little bamboozling. What really gets me is that my fries were hotter than the burger.And this isn't the first time it's happened either. Lately, they've been very hit or miss. I genuinely don't understand why it's so difficult to serve food that's actually hot when it's supposed to be made to order.

Fast and friendly service. Pretty affordable pricing, I really the chicken bites - good deal and filling! They have a nice patio seating area. Multiple table/dining options including booths. Bar area as well! Parking onsite. We were a bit confused when ordering drinks. We wanted to order our food and then sit at the bar to order a round or two of drinks. We were told we had to order drinks at the cash register - which just made the entire drink situation a bit difficult because we couldn't tell what beers/wines were available. Besides that, we enjoyed The Cookshack and will go back!
