    Stopped for a quick lunch . The chop salad my fave always delicious...I had the plant based hotdog... I haven't had a hot dog well since I stopped eating beef and pork... Honestly after you put all your trimmings on you wouldn't even have known it was plant base..... It's so nice seeing alternative meat products for those who don't eat meat.... I would love to see an impossible Burger on your menu.... Portillo's has The fastest service ,they have it down packed to a T... I love the Bolingbrook location with the '50s and '60s theme, very nostalgic......

    Chili Cheese Dog

    Ordered the chili cheese dog (no onions) and it just lacked flavor. The drive-thru lines are long but the employees keep it moving quickly.

    I will always love Portillo's, I love their menu and they keep the place clean. Their service was efficient and not lacking in any way. I always get the Cheeseburger which tastes great. Also, I will never get bored of the interior of the place!!

    Used to live here so I'm very familiar with Portillo's. Went for a Saturday lunch. They were packed. It was loud in there. Gal taking my order talked much too softly for me to hear her. I just wanted a simple dog with mustard, grilled onions, sport peppers, giadanaria (however that's spelled). Gosh that was surprisingly difficult! Food was fine. I knew what was to be expected in that department. All in all, it was okay.

    This isn't a full review of the restaurant, though it is pointing out how there is now a screen that shows when your order is ready. Gone are the days when you and someone else both reach for the same bag -- or at least it happens less often.

    Chicago Style Garden dog

    Yay for Portillo's! I'm not from the Chicagoland area. When I visited earlier this year, they didn't have plant based hot dogs yet. This time in November of 2022, I was fortunate to try the veggie dogs. They are packed with pea protein and seasoned with cracked pepper, garlic and paprika. The veggie dogs are char-grilled just like the regular hot dogs. Love the Chicago style veggie dogs! (See the photo.) My husband has had the regular hot dogs in the past that he thought were OK. He likes the beef sandwiches much better. Fries are A-OK. I like the vibe here. The dining area is bustling with families, couples, groups of friends, etc. So far, cashiers have been kind and efficient. The staff that places the orders on the counter shouts out numbers with a rhyme like: Number 1 you're order's done! Number 2 food's waiting for you! Number 3 come see me! Number 4 food's out the door! I've been to another location closer to the O'Hare Airport many years ago and remember the famous chocolate shake. It's like a chocolate milkshake made from their actual chocolate cake. It's quite decadent! In my neck of the woods, the closest Portillo's is in Buena Park, CA. Perhaps I will pay them a visit in the future!

    Jumbo Hot Dog
    Dave B.

    Got a jumbo dog and combo beef and sausage with hot peppers. I went during an off peak time so I got my food fast. Everything was delicious and the young employees were cheerful and nice. Love Portillo's. Best place for Chicago dogs and Italian beefs imo.

    They even have sweet tea!

    First of all, the service is excellent. The young man that took our order, his name was Miles, he was very pleasant and efficient. It did take a little bit longer for our food than we expected but we were OK standing and watching the process of all of the workers actually paying attention to what they were doing and doing it efficiently. Anytime we saw any interaction it was pleasant. We asked for extra condiments and got them without a problem. Then we sat and ate some really good cheeseburgers and fries. Very happy with the service and food.

    Italian Beef Sandwich Cheese Fries
    Lora S.

    You go to Portillo's for one or two items, I have to have the Italian Beef. I went with Italian Beef with gravy. On the side I went with cheese fried. It was exactly what I wanted. Mid-week it was pretty empty but Friday night it was busy. Serve Ice was still really fast and didn't realize my to go order was really almost immediately. Staff was friendly and store looks clean. It is a must stop and time I am in the area.

    Been coming here since I was a kid. To this day I don't believe I have ever had anything outside from hotdogs. I'm coming from NY so ALL I care about it the Chicago style hotdogs. I want my pickle and my lil jalapeño even though I don't eat it. Idk why the relish looks like glitter but onion me down too. Ketchup and mustard and a freaking CHOCOLATE SHAKE. Just thinking about it has me wanting to drive back. My kids got the same as me and my dad got two chili dogs no cheese- (I would have gotten the cheese) but I was on my way to the pool and ate light. They had some other sweet cake milkshake I thought I would return before driving back to New York or at least bring some beef home. But nope. We ate out in the patio this place was clean and from what I saw well managed. I didn't see a manager per say but everything was in order and I like that. I like the old school decor on the inside.

    Chocolate Cake Shake
    Lexi G.

    Vibes, 5/5. Chocolate cake shake that I've heard SUCH good things about, 3/5. Too cakey lol. I don't like chewing a milkshake. Would've rather tried a malt! Though the price for a LARGE shake was very respectable.

    A serviceable pepper and egg sandwich, but hardly the best in the area.
    Jason Y.

    I mean Portillo's is Portillos. It's kind of hard to go wrong...unless you're getting the pepper and egg. It's edible. The eggs have decent flavor...but the couple of stepped on peppers and the "eggs are really expensive!" portion of eggs made for a pretty underwhelming sandwich. The bread was fresh and service was quick.

    Chicago style hot dog ($3.25), cheese fries ($3.75), and beef-n-cheddar croissant w/hot peppers ($7)

    Most places had a long wait time for a Saturday, and this one didn't, which was a nice surprise. We…read moredid wait a little to get helped at first and the host wasn't around, but once we were seated things picked up. For drinks, I tried the lychee mojito -- it was strong but had really good flavor and was enjoyable. For an appetizer, we got the pretzels. They had a nice garlic seasoning on them and were pretty filling. These were good. For mains, we ordered the Hangover Burger, tenders, and the Bulleit Bourbon Burger. Everything was really delicious. My fries just needed a tad bit of salt, but the burger itself was cooked well (I asked for medium). The flavors were good, and the honey running down actually worked well with everything. Our waiter was also really good and provided solid service. Overall, a great experience -- will be back.

    Good bar food! Burgers were hearty and flavorful. When the burger was served, I was pleasantly…read moresurprised by the sheer size of the burger. They were massive! Fries were as expected, nothing special. The Spicy Tater Tot appetizer was great. Not Terribly spicy, but had a nice heat and kick to them. Seating was limited. There were only a few tables available that could accommodate more than 4 people. The staff were friendly, helpful and attentive.

    5 stars for Lemont. Probably 4 stars in Chicago…read more Walked in on a Saturday for an early dinner. It was 5:45, I didn't have a reservation, a they didn't have a table available until 7:30 but there were spots at the bar which they said was full service. My friend and I cozied up to it and ate there. What a surprisingly good experience. The staff was super friendly and that bartenders had great suggestions. I hate when people at the restaurant say everything is good. Not these young ladies. They made some sound suggestions which we followed. French onion soup and the steak frites were both excellent and priced well IMO. They have a really good whiskey/bourbon selection with a few hard to find bottles. I settled on a Blantons neat. They had Pappy, but I'm not wasting money on that anymore. Food came out quickly and we ate and watched a baseball game. The locals at the bar told us about their membership program where I guess for a small mo they fee you get a bottle of wine and a charcuterie plate once a month. Seemed like a pretty good deal. I don't live anywhere near there, but if I did I'd certainly join. In any case, if you live anywhere close, this is definitely a worthwhile restaurant to visit. Seems like there were quite a few singles there as well if you are looking to meet someone. I have no idea what the dating scene is like in Lemont, but this might be a good spot to try.
