    I patronize this restaurant frequently and the service is just going down hill. Food is starting to take too long, the last time I ordered from here my fries were soggy and all that time and UPSELLING (on deserts) for them to NOT PUT MY CHEESECAKE IN MY ORDER that I really didn't want but got upsold on so I said forget it I'll shell out the lil extra money in this horrible economy ! I'm highly upset !

    Chocolate Éclair Cake

    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

    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.

    Comeback sauce with onion rings slapped

    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.

    Hot beef dipped in au juice  with hot peppers, fries and a coke.

    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.

    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!

    Regular hotdog with everything.
    Marianne C.

    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 :)

    A bit on the dry side

    Big fan of Portillos! Great food, decent price, good service. Definitely a great spot for large groups as dining hall provides plenty of seating.

    Big beef sandwich

    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.

You have to seat yourself - there were enough vacant tables to pick from. Within a few minutes, our server was over and helped us narrow down on what we wanted to order. I went for a Crushed Velvet Mule in addition to Cali, Buffalo (both grilled versions) and Burg B Q. We told our server that between me and my wife, we will be sharing the chicken sandwich and hence requested that it be sliced into 2. Not only were the burgers sliced, it was served in separate plates with sides as well - that was a really nice touch. Cali was a bit bland, Buffalo and Burg B Q were both really nice. The drink was nice as well. There was live music but we were seated near a table that was pretty boisterous, could hardly hear anything. The outdoor seating overlooking greenery and events they do at the restaurant make the place quite different - we will definitely be back soon to try other options on the menu.

I'm actually very glad we came here instead of the other places we had planned on going for lunch. When we went, it was not crowded and we got seated quickly. This place is fairly big, with plenty of tables and space. They also have a dedicated "beer garden" on one side of the restaurant. For food, i had to get jager schnitzel with spaetzle. My wife ended up getting duck. Before my food came out, they also brought out a salad. I don't know if it was part of the jager schnitzel entree or the duck... But the salad was amazing. Everything was pickled and very intense flavor. Both entrees were great and i also like the fact that they have a kid's menu that serves german food. (I was afraid the kids menu would have simple items like burger and or chicken tenders, but that's not the case here.) the lunch portions were perfectly sized.... granted its not "texas sized" but it did its job and i left satisfied. What i really like about the place is the interior decor. It looks like the owners brought back so many trinkets, souvenirs and photos from their trips to Germany and it makes it feel more authentic. This was actually one of the saving grace from waiting to get our food, i tried to look around to see all the different things on displayed. Service was great. I'll definitely be back!
