    Chocolate Éclair Cake
    Zabby D.

    Great food, prompt service, the best decor! This place is roomy - bring all the people! They really take the time to clean as well. No dirty tables in sight. They are promoting their chocolate heart cake... which I'm sure is delish... but hear me out! The Chocolate Eclair Cake (ErrrmyGossh!) Don't get it if you don't want another craving! No military discount... sorry Vets

    Portillo's definitely makes me love HOT DOGS! The Chicago style dog with onions, relish, celery salt, tomatoes and peppers works well. I love the bun with the tiny black dots. Then I add Ketchup and Mustard with some EXTRA Onions. It's so satisfying and tasty. The crinkle cut fries on this visit were hot and crispy. I wash it all down with some yummy Fanta Orange. Service was quick and food was hot. It's always a cool vibe with the FUN decor. I left feeling full and happy with the overall experience!

    Large space with many tables to sit at. This is an order at the front (or tablet) and find your own seat type of places I enjoyed the food and while I did not interact with the staff much they were nice and helpful. The meal was very filling and the cheese fries are worth the extra charge! Tasty subs need to come back and try other meal items as well.

    Was greeted by super nice lady at the register. Told her that I wasn't sure what to order yet so she gave me some time. She explained to me what goes into a beef sandwich. So I got me a beef sandwich with some onion rings. Boy, them onion rings were gooooooood and crispy. I ate it with the comeback sauce which sorta tastes similar to canes sauce. I'm interested in trying the chicago style hot dogs! I'll probably be back to try it. Anyways, it was probably the best onion rings I've had in a while. They called out my number "29 no more waiting in line" or something like that. It was cute! Loved the decor of the place too.

    Beef sandwich with mozzarella cheese

    This was my first time at a Portillo's outside of Chicago. Thankful for the opportunity to share my thoughts. First off, lots of parking which makes it easier to get in and out of the restaurant. The cashier Hayley was very friendly and knowledgeable. Love the environment of the restaurant, lots of lighting and seating. I ordered a beef sandwich with mozzarella cheese with onion rings. Food is hot and fresh and very delicious. I missed the lunch rush, so that was a positive as I was on my lunch break. Was able to get in and back to work with 40 minutes. Unfortunately, I took my food to go, so the bread was soggy from the commute. Did not take away from the flavor though.

    I live near this place and have never thought to try it out. Came up here with my daughter because we were in the area and of course I made the list for the Elite week. I love that the meat is char-broiled. I ended up getting the Big Burger Bundle, aka the #3. I should have actually ordered the single meat, lol! It's a really good sized burger, especially if you order all the fixings with it. I had some leftover. I also had the cheese sauce with my fries. The bun is a little different than your typical burger buns. I asked and they are corn dusted. I still liked it but my daughter didn't that much. Everything was good. I would come again but just order a single patty instead.

    My family came to Portillo's for lunch. It's a very spacious, well kept restaurant. The lady who took our orders was very helpful as it was our first time at Portillo's. I ordered the Beef & Cheddar Croissant with spicy peppers and sautéed onions with cheese sauce on the side and onion rings. My wife and daughter both got cheeseburgers, and a side of onion rings. The onion rings were hot, and delicious! The portion of the onion rings were good for the price as well ($3.99). My beef and cheddar croissant was good, they forgot to put the onions and peppers on it, so I had to go to the counter and they gave me them in containers which I poured onto my sandwich. It's a big sandwich, I was stuffed after eating it. Overall the sandwich was good, not great. My wife and daughter both really enjoyed their burgers. I had a bite and it had a lot of flavor. It was like a higher end Burger King burger with the charbroiled flavor. It's also 1/3 lb so it will definitely fill you up. I would definitely order one of these next time. My wife got the chocolate cake shake. I took a few sips and it has a lot of flavor and is very thick. The size of the small shake is huge! She said next time she would just order a slice of chocolate cake. The service, quality of food, portions, and cleanliness of the restaurant would definitely bring us back.

    Wanna make an Italian beef at home? Here ya go!

    The first time I visited a friend in Chicago he took me to Portillo's for my first Chicago style hot dog and Italian beef. I was hooked. When it was announced a couple of years ago that the second Portillo's in Texas was gonna be here in Allen I was excited. Trey took our order quickly after making a couple of useful suggestions and then we found a booth after grabbing our sodas. Our food appeared quickly and we chowed down. I had an Italian beef with sweet peppers and it was lightly dipped and my wife had a burger that looked really tasty ( and she said it was). We also split a large fries. Food was hot, fresh and mighty tasty and the price was very reasonable. Unfortunately there was no room for their famous chocolate cake. The service was very friendly and efficient and the store was very clean. Portillo's was quite busy today at lunch and it's not hard to see why. Y'all gotta check em out!

    Another great experience at Portillo's. Hot beef with fries, real coke. My son and I hit it after the busy hours. It's always easy to order either at the kiosk or at the walk in window. Great art and decorations on the walls.

    Regular hotdog with everything.

    I may not come here enough but they have a good Chicago dog. I was satisfied with their regular size and didn't even need sides to be "full". I really like the "snap" that they talk about whenever Chicago dog comes into conversation. Protillos has grown in the DFW area but I think they did grow too fast. When they opened The Colony location, the hype was real but then it died down when multiple locations have shown up too rapidly. They should've milked the popularity first when they opened the first location. This is just my opinion as a Texan girlie who likes her Costco hotdog plus drink for only $1.50 :)

    I grew up on portillo's in the Chicago suburbs. The food at location is as good as the 3, I go to in the burbs. If you like Real Chicago food this location will not disappoint. Service is fast and people behind counter very curious. It has a large dinning room. This location has self service soda fountains, i prefer this to having the person behind the pickup counter pour.

    For my first Portillo's experience, I ordered a beef hot dog and had it served with everything on it. My side was small fries - more than enough to be filling. The fries were super salty, making ketchup necessary. I enjoyed the hot dog more than I expected. I've never had a hot dog at a restaurant (fast or anything else) so I wasn't sure what the experience would be like. I couldn't keep all of my toppings on it so had to take a bite of dog and a bite of pickle and peppers. The flavor balance was really good. These two items were 700cal, and I deliberately picked the lowest cal items on the hot menu. Just go in prepared. There is a ton of seating inside with a variety of booth and table formats to accommodate small and large groups.

    I really enjoyed inside. It's a really nice ambience. Lots of seats. They offer a really good menu lots of options. The employees were very nice and friendly and they were patient and explained the menu. I opted to get the dip beef sandwich and french fries just so I could try everything separately. Definitely check it out if you're ever in the area.

    We don't visit Hat Creek Burger Company as often as we used to, but I'm glad it's still around…read more Over the years, We've seen the quality of both the food and service go up and down, but it feels like this location has matured into a solid and dependable restaurant. The food is definitely a step above what you'll find at most popular fast-food burger chains. While Hat Creek may not be trying to compete with gourmet burger restaurants, it delivers a quality product in a casual and family-friendly environment. One of Hat Creek's biggest strengths is its outdoor play area. The restaurant clearly caters to families with young children, and the play space gives parents a chance to relax while the kids burn off some energy. It's a feature that sets Hat Creek apart from many other burger restaurants. Overall, I get the sense that management genuinely wants to provide a good customer experience. My advice would be to continue investing in employees because great team members are what ultimately create the experience customers remember. Based on our recent visits, Hat Creek is doing a lot of things right, and we'll continue to stop by when we're in the mood for a good burger and a family-friendly atmosphere.

He's a Whataburger kind of guy and today did not change his mind, sadly. He got a double meat burger of some kind and we were both very underwhelmed when he open his up. Very tiny burger for $10... both burgers were not seasoned at all. The patties just tasted like meat. No flavor whatsoever. Unfortunately, I will never be able to talk him into going there again and will continue going to the location I frequent that seasons their meat.

The menu continues to evolve, which is good. Although this last visit both my husband and I noticed the menu is becoming very similar to Cheesecake Factory. By that I mean, they are adding more pages, more loose menu pages with options and their menu items are going into realms that seem very off brand (raw ahi tuna plates, shwarma salad, bao buns, etc). Lazy Dog has always been associated with a diverse beer selection, a down home (almost) southern like food menu. A more elevated and sophisticated Cracker Barrell if you will. This detour from the 'norm' gave us both pause - could the food actually be good? While my hubby and kids stuck to their regular options (crispy deviled eggs, buffalo chicken bites, kids menu) I chose to try the Chili Crunch Ahi Tuna - sashimi grade seared rare tuna, furikake-seasoned rice, edamame, avocado, marinated cucumbers, pickled ginger, spicy garlic crunch, citrus soy dipping sauce and it was DELICIOUS!!! I enjoyed every bite of my meal and would absolutely order it again. I definitely think Lazy Dog is making a run for being competition to Cheesecake Factory when it comes to their menu. Their desserts however have a LOOOOONG way to go. The Campfire Cookies were awful!! Stale, cooked firm, every bite had so many white chips it was overwhelming, there was barely any chocolate, the drizzle soaked into the stale cookies and was tasteless. I have a hard time saying no to any cookie, but could easily say no to these every time. I will actually look forward to trying Lazy Dog again now that they have other healthier options to choose from.
