I really like that you can order a bunch of sides with mix of healthy foods. Can't wait to go back! As for service, they take your order at the front and then your food gets dropped at your table.

STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND READ THIS--Portillo's at 7200 W Ray Rd in Chandler Has Just Redefined…read more"Heaven on a Plate" with the BIG BEEF DIPPED and That CHEESE SAUCE... OMG! I've had Italian Beef before. I've loved Italian Beef before. But nothing--NOTHING--prepared me for the transcendent, jaw-dropping, flavor-explosion experience that is ordering the Big Beef DIPPED at this Chandler location. If you haven't done it yet, you haven't lived. And if you've had it elsewhere but haven't had it here with their cheese sauce... well, buckle up, because you're about to discover your new favorite thing on the entire planet. From the second you walk into Portillo's on Ray Road, you can smell the magic--crisp sport peppers, rich au jus, and that unmistakable aroma of slow-roasted beef that makes your stomach growl instantly. But the real moment of truth comes when you look that server in the eye and say: "I'll take the Big Beef, DIPPED, LOADED with cheese sauce. And I mean loaded." Watch their face light up--they know. They understand. This is not just a sandwich; it's a ritual, and this location performs it with reverence. Then it arrives. Oh. My. Goodness. The bread is drenched--and I mean perfectly, gloriously drenched--in that deep, savory au jus, so every inch is saturated with rich, beefy flavor. It's not soggy; it's luscious. It's a sponge for joy. And then... the cheese sauce. Sweet, spicy, velvety, liquid gold--it's like someone took pepper jack, dreams, and a touch of heaven and whipped it into a creamy, molten ribbon that cascades over every millimeter of that dipped bread and tender, shreddy beef. The first bite is not just a meal--it's a religious experience. The crunch of the giardiniera, the pop of a sport pepper, the warm, juicy beef, the cheese sauce pulling in golden strands... it's an OMG moment so intense you might actually forget your own name for a second. You'll hear yourself making sounds you didn't know you could make. You might cry a little (happy tears). You might order a second one before you've even finished the first. And here's the thing--the Chandler location executes this with flawless, almost artistic precision. The line moves fast, the staff is smiling, and they don't skimp. They don't hold back on the beef, they don't drizzle the cheese sauce like it's an afterthought--they PILE IT ON with pride. You can tell this team lives for these moments. They're not just serving food; they're delivering pure, unadulterated happiness. Even the atmosphere feels electric--like everyone in the room knows they're about to have their day made. You'll see strangers nodding at each other in mutual respect over their sandwiches. You'll hear "OMG!" echoed across the dining room (seriously). And when you finish that Big Beef Dipped--cheese sauce glistening on every corner, not a drop of au jus left--you'll sit back with a food coma smile so wide it hurts, already plotting your next visit. Bottom line: If you are within 50 miles of 7200 W Ray Rd, you have no excuse. Go. Right now. Order the Big Beef DIPPED with EXTRA cheese sauce. Thank me later. And maybe bring a napkin--because that cheese sauce is so good, you're going to want to lick every last drop off your fingers. Five stars? Try FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS PLUS A STANDING OVATION! This is the best sandwich I've ever had in my life, and I'm pretty sure it's illegal to be this good.

My last two visits to Portillo's were rough. Thursday I…read moreordered a chopped salad with grilled chicken and no blue cheese. What I got was a chopped salad with blue cheese and no chicken. Grilled chicken is an add-on, which I paid for, so that was frustrating. I got back in line to fix it. The remake came with no chicken and no blue cheese, but I'd already put dressing on the first one and could see where someone had picked the blue cheese out. Still no chicken either time. Today I tried the drive-thru. No one was taking orders at the speaker. After about five minutes I pulled up to the window and waited another five. Nobody came out or acknowledged me, so I left. I get why other Portillo's locations have lines around the block and this one doesn't. It feels mismanaged and like the staff just doesn't care. Shorter, review-site friendly version Two bad visits in a row at this Portillo's. 1. Ordered a chopped salad with grilled chicken, no blue cheese. Got blue cheese, no chicken. The remake had no blue cheese but still no chicken, and you could tell the cheese had been picked out of the original. 2. Drive-thru today: no one at the speaker for 5 minutes. Pulled to the window, waited another 5 minutes. No response, so I left. Other Portillo's are packed for a reason. This location seems mismanaged and understaffed.

I'm a bit of a ranch fanatic so can be pretty picky when it comes to the right quality and flavor. Their ranch here doesn't taste even remotely like ranch. I think it's the furthest from ranch you can get. Strange? I usually just get a salad but this visit I tried dip sandwich and it was completely unseasoned and the dip tasted like they dumped powder season into cold water and served it. I took a bite or two and tossed it out. The salad itself from the build it yourself salad bar was okay but again, couldn't use ranch because of how off and unpleasant it was so had to substitute for oil and vinegar only. The service is lacking. Everyone the last few visits seems like they are trying not to fall asleep and half robotic. Zero interest in interacting and blindsided if you ask any questions. The restaurant itself is super casual, which I don't mind especially for deli food.

I enjoy Chopshop but this is by far my favorite location and definitely because of the service…read more Everyone who works here is incredibly kind and very helpful! My go to order is a Korean steak bowl with kale cleanse or an açaí bowl. Always delicious although the sauce can be a bit inconsistent( either too much or not enough). This past visit I tried something new, we got the grinder sandwich and gf toffee oat cookies. Both were delicious! My only critic on the sandwich would be less mayo, it was so much with the banana peppers that the whole bottom half was soggy and falling apart. It was still good, just very messy. The cookies were the best!:9 delicious for a gluten free recipe. I will continue to come back to this location. They never disappoint!

Needless to say, we are both sick now!! Never again! This place has gone down hill!

Have you ever seen a bunny that's chowing down on some greens and gotten food envy?…read more Yeah, me neither but here we are with another Salad and Go review. I love this place. Drive-thru salad? Yes please! My favorite here is the Buffalo Chicken Salad (Carrots, Celery, Banana Peppers, Tomatoes, Croutons, Romaine, Buffalo Chicken paired with a Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing - 320 calories). The Buffalo Chicken Salad used to be a seasonal item but they have since added it permanently to their menu which makes me happy. I keep a container of blue cheese at home to crumble more in when I'm being indulgent. Aw yis! Come here when you need to hit the drive-thru line but want to eat healthy. You'll never regret eating a salad here.

My wife had better luck with her steak. She said she liked hers. The fried could have been fried for another minute to get a better crisp. The service was very good and I like the steakhouse vibe but in a kinda business casual way. They have a happy hour sit at the bar menu and it must be pretty good because the bar was full. We used our quarterly Amex Rezy credit for our dinner. Had I paid the full $150 out of pocket I'd have been pretty disappointed. Before I spend that kind of money unless you're trying to impress a date of business associate I'd save my money and eat at that place with Texas in the name. For you anniversary you get a glass of champagne and for your birthday you get dessert. Maybe I'll try the Happy Hour.

Finally stopped in after driving by this place for a while and not realizing what it was and I'm…read moreglad I did. The restaurant and outdoor entertainment complex is huge and has a really fun, energetic vibe. According to the bartender, they have ping-pong, pickleball, and a big upstairs outdoor patio with amazing views of Tempe and the surrounding area. There's also a large parking lot, lots of outdoor seating, and even a dog park area, which makes it really easy to spend time here. The bartenders and wait staff were very friendly. Azbel was a great server. I had the bistro steak and fries and the Szechuan lettuce wraps, and both were really good. Portions were generous. During late-night happy hour my total was about $55 for a main entrée, an appetizer, a cocktail, and tip, which felt like a great deal. I was pleasantly surprised that happy hour runs every day Monday through Sunday from 3-6 PM and again from 8 PM to close. I also checked out the event venue on site, and it looks like it would be a great place for a company party, corporate event, or group gathering. I'll definitely be returning in the near future.

Everyone was super happy with their meal and their dessert, and Pita Jungle has solidified themselves in my mind as the best spot for bigger parties! If you are coming with a party, just know they don't split checks more than 8 ways (which is actually a pretty generous number of ways) - they let me know beforehand when I made the reservation so it was totally fine.
