Chicago Famous Meal #2 Two Hot Dogs
Latreca W.

Pretty good hot dog. I got the chicago dog with chili and cheese. I love the spicy peppers. I used the drive throw it was quick and easy.

Jeff N.

First heard of Portillo's at the car show at Reliant stadium a few months back as they had a vendor booth 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.

Double Cheeseburger

I was not to happy with the burger the patties were dry and well done. I only like it juicy with a lot of flavor. I will not return any time soon. Except for the birthday cake which is one of my favorites.

The chocolate cake is GRRRRREAT! Definitely a must have :) ordering is easy and self service. Prices are high for what I consider fast food. The establishment is very clean and staff does not talk to you. So nothing really drives you back. The food is just okay. I have tried a hotdog and the beef sandwich. I do not care for the large croissant bread they use. It was much too soggy. However the salad I had was great and their dressing was awesome.

Okay so it's not Chicago but it's definitely a different type of eatery in Tomball. Tomball has been needing something different for a while. Signed up for Portillo's app and reward club to get free fries had to order $5 or more so I ordered their Chili Cheese Dog, Fries (free) and cheese sauce with a large drink. My mother in law got their Italian Beef minus the peppers. Both were very good meals The eatery is a walk up and order type place, if they are busy they have touch screens to order your food. They also have a way to order through their drive thru, Uber Eats or Door Dash. They serve Coca~Cola products, tea and I think some beers. I saw Blue Moon on tap. The restaurant is decked out with diner style chairs and has some booths very 50ish decor on walls. There is a place to eat outside. Don't forget to get a chocolate cake shake!!!

Cheese when asked for no cheese.
Kendal J.

Got the Rodeo Burger, asked the cashier to not include cheese. I can't have cheese. She said it did not include cheese. I was puzzled as the picture on the menu showed a slice of cheese. Come to find out the burger has cheese on it. I go up and tell the cashier and she just noses and says "oh, ok"...

Large Fries
Tish P.

Since I've now had my first taste of Portillo's in Chicago, figured I'd give Texas a try. This time I ordered a regular size Italian beef and added the maxwell street polish sausage. The sammich gave me the same feel as Chicago though slightly better cause I didn't get it dipped. I got the gravy on the side which works better for my taste buds not liking wet bread. The dog with the onions was delicious. The restaurant is bright and new, but wasn't as lively as my Chicago experience. I heard the burger is fiyah so that's my next choice when I venture back!

Prentiss M.

Great location, complimented with friendly faces. Service was amazing everyone had a positive arrive and a smile. The cleanliness of the restaurant was top notch! Ordering food was a breeze and came out really fast, even during the lunch hour. Will definitely try again Happy Yelping

cheeseburger not hot after 20min to melt the cheese that (top of the lettuce in the container). charbroiled?
Tina G.

Visited Sunday inside to eat, around 11:30am. Food- cold. Service- poor. Ambiance- awful. condiments depleting, garbage full, rare to find inside seating, dirty tables & seats. Waited 20 min from the time of order at the counter, where the GM couldn't hear anything we were saying and asked over and over again until little did we know until pick up, getting part of it wrong. Once we got the order, and I asking for the "#1 with sweet &hot peppers" with also the cheeseburger meal, we didn't get the fries for the #1 I ordered because he didn't hear that part but we did get a cold order post 20min wait. Being from Chicago, I can say please put this place on pause, go to any of the locations in Illinois - train the entire staff and spend a lot of time focusing on operations, then reopen here when ready. I'm not sure how you can even be getting the food wrong.

New Tomball restaurant! Been hearing a lot of hype so we figured we'd try it out. We looked online first and saw a bunch of various menu options like pasta and ribs but beware, since this is a new establishment their menu is limited so no pasta or ribs. We tried the burger, chili cheese dog and fries. Service was very friendly and patient as we asked questions and ordered. Food was okay but not anything that really stood out for us. Has an old fashioned diner feel and decor with upgrades and lots of seats. Ordering can be done with self serve monitors or at the register with a live person. Lots of seating so I can see big parties come through if they're looking for something quick to eat. They even have outdoor seating which will be great once it gets cooler.

Chocolate shake
Nicole Erin B.

As a Chicago native I've been very excited to finally have Portillo's in Houston! The decor was spot on for the classic look of a Portillo's. The food tasted exactly how I remember. I got the beef bowl to add to my own gluten free bun. The French fries are crispy and the chocolate shake is deliciously creamy. The restaurant was relatively empty on a Saturday night so I hope business picks up. The service was not as efficient as the busy locations in Chicago and the cashier didn't seem to understand the menu that well yet. Our order was missing a cheeseburger but the manager promptly took care of fixing the mistake. I also recommend the burgers and you absolutely have to try the chocolate cake!

Italian Beef Sandwich (regular size)
Genille R.

Had a Portillo's chocolate cake for my birthday and it was delicious. Their chocolate cake is so good.

Chocolate Cake Shake
Allen B.

First time trying Portillo's and wow -- I was impressed. I ordered a Chicago-style hot dog (no onions, 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.

The servers were so kind and lovely. The vibe reminds me of a graffiti park, which as a professional artist, made me feel right at home. This is definitely my new go-to spot and I will be bringing my friends here for night out

The sports bar had R&B playing moderately loud (but no issues carrying on a conversation). I can only imagine the vibe may be different with larger crowds in the evenings/weekends. The menu is a QR code on the table. They have a large outside covered patio. Lots of TV's inside & outside. The salmon salad was very good. The salmon was cooked just right & very well seasoned. Nice size, generous amount of toppings (eggs, tomatoes, onions) such that I had toppings in every bite with my lettuce. The entire salad, dusted with a cajun seasoning, was a nice touch. Food was served in a metal plate with plasticware & plastic cups. (I'm sure the 'plastic' is helpful for managing the outside dining.) Chef Dee came out to check on us. She saw me taking a picture of my food & playfully said 'hey you gotta take a pic of the chef who created it'. Of course I took her pic!! Based on my salmon salad, I would definitely try other items on the menu if ever in the area again. Try them out. If you don't prefer a crowd, pop in for lunch.

We had such a great experience at Chef's Table Vintage Park! The bartender was absolutely amazing…read moreand made the BEST blueberry mojito that my colleagues and I have ever had. Seriously, it was that good! They also had a special smoked cinnamon Old Fashioned that was incredibly smooth and creamy. Definitely worth trying. We started with the South African board, which was perfect for sharing at the bar and a great way to get a taste of a couple of different apps. For dinner, I ordered the Chilean sea bass, which was really good, but the star of the night was the ostrich filet that my colleague had ordered. It was so delicious and definitely something I wasn't expecting to love as much as I did. And the desserts...to die for! The crème brûlée and sticky toffee pudding were both incredible. Our server, JJ, was also great; attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. I'd definitely recommend Chef's Table Vintage Park for a business dinner, date night, or even just happy hour with a friend. Great food, creative cocktails, and a really nice atmosphere.

First time trying Chef's Table, a South African inspired ambient new American restaurant! The…read moreinterior is dark and moody, and features a lot of the chef's South African memoirs. You can choose to sit either inside or outside. We went with the Houston Restaurant week menu which features some of their most popular dishes. For the appetizer, we tried the sautéed calamari and gumbo. The calamari had a nice creamy garlic sauce which paired well the sautéed bell pepper, onions, and tender calamari. Their gumbo is solid, not too spicy and had nicely cooked rice and a mix of toppings. The rice had a good bite and absorbed the flavor from the gumbo well. I would recommend the sautéed calamari. For entrees, we ordered the wild caught king clip and steak Diane. The very buttery king clip comes with sautéed spinach and is basted in a creamy, slightly lemony sauce which compliments both elements of the dish. The kingclip is garnished with micro greens and comes with an extra lemon for additional acidity, but I felt that it wasn't needed. The steak Diane had a medium cook and was soooo tender to the bite. I would recommend both, but partial towards the king clip if you want to try something unique! Lastly for dessert, I ordered the passion fruit crème brûlée which had such a unique flavor profile! The tartness of the passion fruit goes surprisingly well with the warm vanilla custard. The texture of the creme brûlée toasted sugar top was perfect as well and added a really nice crunch to every bite. My friend ordered their sticky toffee pudding, which was arguably the best one I've had yet. The toffee syrup is incredibly rich and adds a nice caramelized flavor to the ice cream and moist cake base. It's garnished with bits of sugary crumble and fruit. You really can't go wrong with either, but if I had to pick, their sticky toffee pudding is a must try. All in all, such a fun and intimate dining experience!
