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.

I love this place! They always have a good selection of hot dogs that are made just right…read more My coworkers and I get this place a couple times a month it seems, and they ALWAYS deliver. 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!

I…read morewas pretty miffed last time I went to Portillo and they changed the brand of hot dogs they use. Blasphemy! 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!

I took a seat at one of the stools at the counter. About those........this place has been around since the early 1900s, and you can tell. The stools were the size to fit people back then. My big ass barely fit on it, and this old timer next to me went to sit down, and missed the stool completely and almost took a tumble (thankfully he did not fall down). I placed my order for 2 hot dogs and a large Dr Pepper. How were they? Delicious! Coney Dogs- These dogs come with a loose meat style coney sauce, mustard and onions all on a soft steamed bun. The most awesome part, they are only $2.00 each! You can't get anything these days for $2.00. The dogs were delicious! I can see how they have been around 100+ years. If I wasn't going to another place to eat afterwards, I could have put down 4-5 dogs, easily. Service was very friendly, and I was in and out in about 20 minutes. Would definitely stop back in if I'm ever near Fort Wayne again!

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.

What I love about Portillo's is they have staff out there taking orders and processing payments to expedite the process. It can get busy during lunchtime but they do a great job of speeding people along. I ordered jumbo Chicago dog and an order of cheese fries. The fries were exactly how I remembered them. Crinkle cut with that slightly salted crunch on the outside and soft center. The regular size is enough for two people to share I can only imagine how large the large fries are. Add a cup of cheese sauce for dipping and these were probably my favorite fries I've had all year. Portillo's is still is my favorite place to get a Chicago hot dog!

Enter Waka Dog! When we walked in the door, I was getting the vibe that the decor had not changed in many years. From the classic Vienna hotdogs posters to the random hand drawn signs, I was getting excited because I had a sense it didn't even matter what the decor was because the food must be so good this place will NEVER shut down! Lol! But then I discovered the secret sauce. The lady that waited on us was one of the kindest humans I met! It was almost like she was family, and she was gonna make sure we were taken care of! Her service was amazing and she made sure our cups were full the whole time. Now to the food... I'm a sucker for a good old Maxwell Street style Polish sausage and they NAILED IT! No frills or remixing required...sausage, mustard, onions, sport peppers! Perfection! Not to mention the fries, which were a dark horse favorite. All in all, it was the perfect spot to feel at home before we headed home! Will definitely be back! Hopefully they wouldn't have changed a thing!
