    Cheeseburger

    Love this place! It's my go to! So many options and always great service! Their BBQ sauce is homemade and absolutely delicious! All the BBQ items are amazing! Love their ribs which come with 3 sides! So many fry options my favorites are their seasoned curly fries & sweet potato fries! They also have a nice selection of burgers and sandwiches! Tasty dessert menu as well including shakes (my favorite), sundaes, cookie and brownie!

    The ribs were the best in Illinois and the service was amazing as usual. I will definitely be back!

    Great milkshakes, chicken strips, bacon cheeseburgers, fried cauliflower, and onion rings. Check this place out. Johnston brothers approve!

    Food is fantastic. Price is high. Service from Nick (owner) was TERRIBLE…read more I was a long-time (20+ yr), loyal customer up til I was yelled at by Nick because I spoke up about consistently receiving orders much later than promised via online orders. I had placed many online orders for pick-up on my 30min lunch break, to ensure I had proper time to drive to, pick up my food, and quickly drive back from the restaurant. After a few pick-ups took around 20mins after promised time, I was pretty upset. I was told they only start making food once the person is there to pick it up, so I asked what's the point of placing an order online and receiving a pick-up time, when the food only starts to get made once you're at the restaurant to pick up? That's when the owner stepped in (My family and I have had many pleasant convos with him before at the old location), turned red, bunched up his face, and legit yelled at me "What do you expect? Do you want your fries to be cold or do you want them fresh?" (I was taken aback, and responded "I expect my order to be ready at the time indicated"). He told me I could go elsewhere. I get it. I was receiving consistently poor service and was upset when I asked the cashier about timing, so he stepped in to defend his worker. What I don't get is how you can tell a customer to go somewhere else when they're expecting their food at the time promised (or at least within 5 mins...I'm not THAT picky). Perhaps my expectations are too high?

I ordered, paid for the order, then my wrap was being prepared. I see the worker putting the finishing touches on my wrap, crisping it on the grill.. so I wait to be handed my order. While waiting, someone else comes in.. orders and pays, customizes their bowl.. receives their bowl ....and then is given an extra bowl that a customer didn't pick up and was told it was to make up for the "wait".. meanwhile, the worker who made my wrap has long disappeared and my order has been sitting on the grill. That person who came in after me, has now left. I only received my order a few minutes after that. Btw there were no other people in line waiting. Just me, standing there for over 15 minutes waiting on an order that was done. Also, the way I was talked to was not okay when I was asked was 'said bowl' my order. So unfortunately, this came across as racially motivated, since I was treated as less of a priority. And it's really rare that I feel that way but... this was a weirdly rude experience. Will not be returning. Thank you for my meal.

The flavors are spot on and the prices are very reasonable. Love that they have a drive-thru for convenience, plus both indoor and outdoor seating. I'll definitely be back and will be recommending this spot to everyone! Servers were very welcoming too!

I ordered a jumbo hotdog with everything and no pickle; after waiting almost 15 minutes, I get to the window pick up and the girl tries to hand me a bag of food. I told her that I only orders a jumbo hot dog she grabs a bag a handed it to me. I drive off and halfway to work I check to see if my food is still warm and to my surprise, I had a piece of birthday cake and no hotdog :(. I have to turn around and drive back to this location and I go inside and speak to a very nice young man. I explain to him what happened and he have someone make my hotdog right away. Plus, he told me to keep the piece of cake. Whatever have to genuine good customer service. Is that too much to ask....I am spending my money. The return trip almost made me late for work :(.

The umami flavors are incredible; the pickles, the peppers, the tomatoes, and the diced onions create an explosion of taste that hits you from the very first bite. It was a unique experience. Even though I ordered my hot dog to go, the service from the young lady Amaya was excellent, and everything was extremely fast. I would definitely come back for this Portillo's Jumbo Hot Dog; so tasty, so flavorful. And the fries... perfectly crispy, fresh, golden on the outside and soft on the inside. The perfect pairing for this Chicago classic.

The beef they had was probably my favorite and I am not usually a beef person. I wish I'd gotten a bit more of it! The mashed potatoes are always a favorite of mine too. The place is both a restaurant and, at the front, seems to have some grocery items as well. They have a wine room, though not something I checked out. The private room was comfortable; it didn't feel overly crowded or anything, even though there were at least eight tables for dining and then a few others for food and gifts and whatnot. The one thing that was a little weird was that there were a couple bathrooms in the front of the room, which seemed like an odd and somewhat conspicuous place to put them. There was a bathroom out in the main restaurant, too, and also a family bathroom which I appreciated. That's where the changing table is located. Parking seems minimal--unless I missed some, it didn't actually seem like enough for the size of the restaurant. But they do have a private lot.

They give you plenty and you can tell that the ingredients are top notch but the flavor was severely lacking. The sauce is very bland and there is almost none on the pizza, however I don't think it would have helped if there was more. They need to really evaluate their sauce. I wasn't a fan of the crust either but it was ok. All in all, I probably wouldn't come back for the pizza.
