Stopped by today after golf to give their new Big Burger deal a try. Easy to order with the large self serve menu. Then it's just wait a few minutes for your number to be called. The meal is large, the burger has everything on it and is 'open wide' to get a bite. A pile of fries that was more than I could finish and a drink. Burger was their char broiled standard and barely fit on the roll. Overall a great buy for the $10.70 price. Only thing I would change is the itty-bitty plastic cups that you need fill for ketchup, you need about 5 of them for the fries.

Meeting some friends in Avondale, after a few Portillo events, I decided to invite everybody over to Portillo's, of course, because I've been craving their hotdogs for the longest time. My favorite Portillo is the one in Queen Creek. My second favorite is the one in Gilbert. This one was really cold inside. Their AC definitely works lol . OK, back to the food course we all had to try a Chicago style hotdog let everybody know that they put ketchup and ketchup on a Chicago style hotdog. Rumor has it the original Portillo store does not carry ketchup, but the store across the street sells ketchup to Portillo's customers. I love the burgers here and definitely love the french fries dipped into the cheese sauce. Sadly, we were going to go back for dessert, but we had no room left over hehehe. We will be back! See you again Avondale Portillo's!

I went to Portillo's yesterday for the first time in the valley -- I have eaten here before in Chicago (where they're originally from). The restaurant is huge -- upon entering, you go to the right to get in line to order. There are kiosks available to order but I opted to wait for the cashier. He was very nice and answered all of my questions! I ordered the Italian beef with peppers with a strawberry milkshake. The Italian beef was tasty but I feel like the peppers are a necessity -- without them, I don't feel like the sandwich would have had the flavor it needs. The milkshake was creamy and not too thick (so you can still drink it through the straw) with little pieces of strawberry. Yum! Give this place a shot! Service is good and fast and there's something for everyone here.

Big Building, Lots of Parking

I thought Portillo's was pretty solid. There is plenty of parking, the dining room is very large with a huge assortment of nostalgic curios to keep you entertained. The restaurant itself is very well done. My wife and I decided we would try to see how a staple of many restaurants compared. That was a simple cheeseburger. I thought it was solid burger. It tastes like it came straight off of the backyard grill with plenty of vegetables and overflowing with melted cheese. The crinkle fries and onion rings were good as well. The only negative observations were that we went to two tables that had food debris on them and there was an employee at the pickup counter eating while she worked. Yes, I will be back. They have a diverse menu that I would like to try more of. The employees were pleasant and the food was good. Great Chicago theme!

I just had the Caesar salad at Portillo's Avondale, and; I can say emphatically it's the bomb. If you never had the Caesar salad at Portillo's, I would recommend you added it to your order and enjoy yourself. Think of The Jackson 5. Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself with me. Yes, have fun Muhammad Amin

Spicy Chicken Chopped Salad - amazed at how this tasted like a spicy chopped Italian sandwich!

I am shocked at my experience here. First off, the atmosphere is very cool and definitely encompasses what they are going for. The interactions with staff were pleasant and the service was quick. The food itself is very on theme and that's what blew me away. I ordered the spicy chicken chopped salad and was shocked at how the flavors were combined to make it taste exactly like the inside of a chopped spicy Italian sandwich. The salad was HUGE, and even came with a side of bread - normally I do not eat the bread side because it's usually basic. Not this one. The bread was warm and very fluffy with a good chew. Even the whipped butter on the side was great. Very happy with the experience here and cool to see the themes of Chicago play through the restaurant and the food!

This restaurant has a huge parking lot and tons of seating! There is a huge pick up and delivery window, kiosks to order at, or cashiers you can place an order with. There was no long on a Tuesday at12, so ordering and getting my food was quick! I ordered the chicken salad with bacon and pecans (the dressing was ) which came with a roll, and a sweet tea. The roll was bland and cheap tasting, but the salad and tea were !

Famous Meal #1- Italian Beef Sandwich
Crystal B.

Wow! I'm so glad I stopped in here. Looking for a new spot to try the inviting ambiance drew me in. Once inside the 50's style theme accompanied by the awesome soundtrack of oldies had me bopping my head and singing along! Not too confusing the menu is easy to understand. I order the #3 charbroiled burger ( I love burgers!) My hubby opted for the #1 Italian beef sandwich. Our cashier Jill was a breath of fresh air. You can tell she enjoys her job. Was very helpful when I'd mentioned it was my first time visiting Portillo's . Jill mad the right suggestion for my order and it was the perfect!! My burger was mouthwatering!! The char flavor was just perfect with the fresh crisp lettuce and tomato. The crinkle cut fries and hot cheese dipping sauce. Yum!! The Italian beef sandwich (with a side of gravy) and spicy peppers. C'mon! Every bite better than the first! I can't wait to come back & try something else! I hope I run into Jill again. She is a Diamond in the Rough I do hope she's recognized by management as she's made a great first impression !

Dog, fries & cake!

This place has an interesting ambience about it. Great food with lots of choices. Customer service was friendly, and one employee even went above and beyond for me. I would definitely recommend trying this place at least once. This has been my go to, after the gym for a couple of days now.

Awesome

Well, well, well. Don't judge a book by its cover because this place is the absolute bomb for bbq…read more I had the pulled pork and it was amazing. Burgers are great, brisket was flavorful and tender. Mac and cheese, potato salad fries, name it and it was great. The owner came out and met us and is such a nice young man. He holds a bible study here on Thursday night at 7:00pm. A must try for sure and for certain

Stopped by Eric's Barbecue and wow--this place delivers where it counts…read more I ordered the prime rib sandwich and it was absolutely to die for. Tender, flavorful, and the kind of sandwich that makes you slow down just to enjoy every bite. Our table grabbed three sides to share, and that turned out to be the right move. The mac and cheese? Life-changing. Gooey, rich, and deeply satisfying. The potato salad was served cold and instantly gave me 4th of July picnic vibes--in the best way. And the beans had that perfect balance of flavor that makes you want to guard your cup like it's gold. This was my parents' first visit, and I'll say the setup can be a little confusing at first, especially if you're new. We came around 4:00 when it was pleasantly quiet, which helped, but I can see how it might feel a bit overwhelming during a rush. Not a knock--just something to be aware of. Places that are this good tend to stay busy, and that comes with a learning curve. All in all, incredible food, solid portions, and absolutely worth the visit. We'll be back.

Awesome place. Traveling through and this looked good…read more Our lovely server took such good care of our family. Very reasonable prices and food was excellent with great kids meals (adult size burger very good). Every single employee we encountered was juts so nice, upbeat and fun. We will be back when we come out for spring training.

Returned here after previously having a great experience having lunch with friends. Enjoyed the…read morepatio and expected the same for an evening experience. Live music was nearing the end on the patio and the night temp was comfortable so we sat outside. There was a medium size group by the couches and we sat at a nearby table. Initially the waitress was attentive, she gave us waters and silverware. Soon she became distracted talking to the group about traveling destinations and her upcoming trip to Hawaii. This was not a big deal until we waited 30 minutes to place our order and she still never came back to our table or even acknowledged we were there. We watched this waitress engage in a lively conversation even kneeling down by a customer and looking at pictures on his phone. What??? Are you working or socializing? We left without placing an order. Being ignored for that long even in plain sight of the server is unacceptable. This was a very disappointing experience and we won't be back.
