So glad there's a Portillo's nearby now! Amazing service. The location was super clean and food was so fresh. Can't wait to visit again and try more items. I've always gotten the Italian beef, which is what they are mainly known for but I hear there are other amazing choices on the menu too! read more

Unfortunately, it took a while for the food at Portillo's to come. I had to wait for over two hours for it to be delivered at my job. Once I finally received it, I thought it looked okay. It was good, but I wish that the hotdog had more flavor and look more appealing. For me personally, I would not go back. However, it is all based on others point of view, which I highly respect. The atmosphere is unknown to me since Portillo's lunch was more of a delivery to my job. read more

The Italian Beef was delicious. I got it with regular gravy. That was still enough to drip down the bun. IYKYK. Yumm. The restaurant was clean and bright. I happened to be the 1st customer of the day. Sounds crazy but I'd just been to another early appointment so it just worked that way. The staff were all really nice. read more

Portillo's Clermont - Jumbo Chicago Hotdog with everything - Hot Dogs Near Me - Clermont, Florida

Normally, I have a great experience here so I'm not going to rate it a 3, which would be based on this most recent experience. However, I usually would rate them a 5 so we will go with a 4, since it is my first review here apparently. This time around, we ordered the beef and cheese croissant for $8.79. I realize the stock picture is all about marketing the item and making it look good but it would've been nice if it looked at least half as good as the picture. It really fell short though. There was plenty of beef so I will give them that but they really failed on the cheese. It probably had a few shreds of cheddar cheese on it. Also, the croissant was mushy from soaking the liquid from the meat. I don't think they even toasted it, definitely not toasted on the inside based on the mushy interior. I ordered it as everything which I assumed included peppers but apparently it does not and you have to add the peppers for an extra cost. That is my fault though for not reading the menu correctly. The beef was as expected just very plain thinly sliced beef. If they had added the appropriate amount of cheese, it would have helped the flavor. I almost added ketchup, oh my... lol This location is very clean with the typical 50s diner feel. Nostalgic decor all around. Plenty of booths and tables to sit at. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. I wish they had an option to pick up mobile orders through the drive through. You currently have to park and go inside. read more

This was my first time visiting any Portillo's location. My first stop upon entering was the men's room. It was super clean. Very impressed. The dining area is spacious with lots of high back booths and regular tables. The decor is vintage diner vibe. Service was excellent. I got the bacon cheeseburger with fries and a drink. The food was hot and fresh. The burger did not disappoint. It had good flavor. It was also a regular sized patty. I was tempted to get a double but the single was perfect. read more

Last year they had us try salad's and it was pretty good. But getting to try what they're known for, was a better move. I tried the chili cheese hot dog, with fries and a drink. I was really tempted to try the strawberry lemon cake milk shake, but...my trainer would not forgive me! The hotdog was pretty good. Little messy as to be expected but a good chili to cheese ratio. The fries were fresh, hot, and crispy! Crinkle if you're a fry connoisseur. Also, the young lady who took our order was very friendly and helpful, all smiles even before mentioning Yelp! I'm a sucker for good customer service and everyone seemed on it. read more

After a great ride in Brooksville, I was pretty hungry and looking for a quick and cheap place to eat. Portillos was on the way back home, so I decided to stop by on a Wednesday afternoon. There was no line at the counter, so I stared at the screen for a minute or two, then ordered the regular Chicago dog (about 4 dollars), and the small chocolate milk shake (about 4.30). I paid by cash at the counter and waited for my order. There is a separate area to pick up the order, and it took about 5 to 10 minutes to receive my food and drink. I then went to table to sit down and eat. The hotdog was loaded with various toppings like onions, tomatoes, a large pickle, and peppers as well. The hotdog was delicious and the meat itself was plump, juicy, and flavorful. I don't know if it was beef or pork (or combination of various meats), but I really enjoyed it. It got messy with all the toppings, so I ate most of them separately, which was fresh and great. The seasonings and condiments accompanied the dog very well. Add the poppy seed bun was soft without falling apart. It was such a wonderful hotdog that I should have paid a dollar more for the larger version. The milkshake was also refreshing and delicious. It was thick without being too difficult to drink from the straw. It was chocolatey as well, and tasted like it came from real ice cream than a mixer. I enjoyed it on my drive home too! The attendant who took my order was a bit indefferent, but still friendly. She did suggest that chocolate flavor for the milkshake was popular, and I am glad I took her advice. The people who handed my order were also friendly and helpful. You do have to bus your own tables as this is a self service restaurant. The place looked clean and there were many tables, including some outside. Oldies rock music where in the background, and the place wasn't too loud. Parking was plentiful and easy. Drive thru was also available. I am amazed that Portillos serves amazing hotdogs and great shakes. The prices were reasonable and the service was fine. I am glad I tried this place out. This is a very nice place for great hotdogs in the Clermont area. Overall: A read more

The food was awesome for fast food, but the real MVP was the staff--especially Geronimo! He was super friendly, gave top-notch customer service, and helped us out since it was our first time there. We went through the drive-thru, and it was quick and smooth--no complaints at all! You have to try the Chicago dog and their ranch--seriously so good! 100% recommend this place. We'll definitely be back! * I devoured my food before taking pictures lol, but I did get a picture of my sister's salad which she loved too! read more

Portillo's Clermont - Hot Dogs Near Me - Clermont, Florida

Stopped in on the way back home to get a french fry craving for my daughter covered. This location is really large and was pretty empty when we went. It is the same decor you would see at the other locations they have around the Central Florida area. They have screens to order and we found them easy to navigate. I also ordered a chilli cheese dog to take home to a family member who also had a craving. The order came out quickly and exactly as ordered. The fries were hot and fresh and the hot dog after arriving home was quickly devoured and told it was delicious. Great place for a quick serve food choice in the area. read more

Born and raised in Chicago, for me Portillo's is home the Cub's, especially when they put a Portillo's in Mesa, Arizona for Cubs spring training, so needless say I was more than excited when the put two here in Orlando. In my open Portillo's has the best beef sandwich, and or course Chicago style hotdogs, and Maxwell street sausage is fantastic. Portillo's is from the bottom of my heart the very best foot and the best service. I couldn't recommend them more. Make it your family tradition too. read more

Had a lovely time having my nephew experience Portillo's for the first time yesterday. Sebastian was patient while I had my nephew order for himself as practice. The food was hot and tasted as it should. Thank you, Portillos for awarding children at school with the gift of cake. read more

I just love Portillo's! I recently got an Italian sandwich and it was out of this world. Highly recommend asking it for it with extra sauce. I also got a side of fries, which are always crispy and very salty which I enjoy. I was reading their Yelp page before I read the review and it said that it had a "world fair vibe" I absolutely love this and cannot agree more. Highly recommend coming here, especially with family because there are a ton of options for people of all ages. I've yet to come in and sit down and dine in, but I will do that in the future. read more

We got the chance to go to Portillo's a week or so after they opened and it was... good. The ambiance and the indoor atmosphere was awesome, it really gave a kind of 'world's fair' vibe to it. Employees were super friendly and able to help us find the right food for us. We got the Jumbo Chili Cheese Dog and the Single Rodeo Burger! We also got the Vanilla Shake with the cake in it also. It was very good but also extremely HEAVY. I probably would not get it again. All in All it's a decent spot to go to but I probably would not go again! read more

A true Chicago experience! The interior is themed for Claremont, but the food is authentic. Orders come up fast, but during a rush you may wait five minutes or more. But the food is the star! Italian Beef with sweet or hot peppers. If you have it dipped it is melt in your mouth delicious. Hot dogs are great but a Chicago tip get the Jumbo to experience a better snap and balance. Salads are large portions and excellent. The Chef Salad is the best but the Chicken is not far behind. I left the best for last. Dessert. Chocolate cake is something everyone raves about, and I agree, but for a better taste and texture take a slice home and put it in the fridge until the frosting sets. And for a real treat try the Chocolate Cake Shake. read more

The onion rings and Italian beef are delicious. However, I really come here for the lemon cake shake. A piece of lemon cake mixed into a milkshake and it's the best way to have cake and ice cream imho. Can't go wrong with chocolate either, but the lemon is perfect for Florida summer. It wasn't busy, and the staff was super efficient in the drive-thru and restaurant. Inside is decorated with plenty of Americana and gives vibes of a Route 66 restaurant stop. I've always had great service here read more

I went to Portillo's last night and ordered a bacon cheeseburger and fries with a side of cheese sauce. This is one of my new favorite cheat meals. The lettuce on the burger was good quality but way too big, they couldn't even close the packaging. I loved the bun on the burger and it was great overall. The temperature of the burger was a little cold but I popped it in the microwave and it was fine. Fries were fresh and hot! The staff were friendly and helpful with navigating the menu. However, the wait time was a little long for a drive thru, totaling about 20 minutes. Overall, I enjoyed and will be back! read more

I was excited to go here. People in some of my online groups were so happy that this chain was opening restaurants in our area. My expectations were high. Driving into the parking lot the building gives off a good appearance and walking inside it is very impressive. The decor is reminiscent of 1950s/60s diners. The food prep and ordering areas are very modern with a lot of stainless steel and vintage signs. My order was a beef and sausage bowl. Well ... they were out of sausage. Several people in my group also wanted sausage based menu items. Very disappointing. This is supposed to be one of their signature menu items. The option was just to get a beef bowl. I like to checkout menus before going to a new restaurant. The menu beef bowl looked like a distant cousin to what I got. I know about food stylists. Other people enjoyed their meals especially their hot dog and beef sandwich. Perhaps I made the wrong choice. My test always is ... would I go back, Yes but would order something else. The jury is out and will update in the future. read more

My husband and everyone that I know absolutely LOVE Portillo's for their chocolate cake. EVERYONE is obsessed with it! Now, this is my first time at Portillo's and I am well aware they're known for their hot dogs, so my review is based on their Italian beef sandwich and speed of service. The menu is laid out ok BUT I didn't realize the toppings were all separate :(. So when I got my food, I was a big flop hahaha the bread and meant tasted amazing, however. I would've gone to order toppings but it did take roughly 15 mins (felt forever) to get my meat and bread. At the register, I did say the sandwich and whatever it comes with but I guess it was nothing lmao. I love the interior, so colorful and vibrant! I will go back and update my review :) read more

Always love Portillos Italian beef so looking forward to trying their new salads. I got the chicken pecan bacon salad with honey peppercorn dressing. It's pretty delicious. I wish the dressing was not as thick. Had big clumps fall out and stuck in container. Nice portion size. Ambiance and service is always great. Nice and clean inside the restaurant playing 50's music and fun rhymes when they call your number. There are four salads to choose from for a lighter option. Their fries always are a hit to me. They have a lot dessert options as well including a yummy salted caramel spice cake that can even be made into a shake. Tasted just like fall! So good! read more

This place is legendary for some. Gourmet hot dogs are its specialty. Our meals were fine. The interior is cute, with a nod to local attractions like the Citrus Tower. Our lunches were okay.

I love the Chicago dogs here! The ingredients were fresh and the overall experience was fun. I'm giving it 4 out of 5 stars because the beef hotdog itself was pretty much ice cold. Despite that, it still tasted good. I can only imagine how tasty it would have been if the meat had been served warm. read more

I'm a big fan of portillos in general and having one in our hometown of Clermont is such a plus! We've been several times and it's always been great!

I had high hopes after hearing about the Chicago one. But it fell very short of that expectation. Would I go again? Maybe but only if I wanted fast food. Even as that goes, it was the best fast food choices. The onions rings were so very breaded and not a good ratio from onions to bread. The burger was not the best fast food burger I have had. I did however like the chili dog. The kids did not care for the chicken tenders, but they did love the milk shake! All in all when I go back it would be for a chili dog and a shake! read more

Skimpy Italian beef sandwiches unlike other Portillo's. They give FAR less than any Portillo's. I most have gotten 4 thin slices of beef last time. Mostly dry bread. Really disappointed when I got home. I doubt not one person who works there ever had a real Italian beef. Better to go to the one in Orlando. They do it right! read more

Food taste good, the cake shake is 100% delicious and the regular size is big too. Ambiance is the 60's theme and very nice.

For the burger and Chicago hotdog lover, this place is quite good. Went in and I chose to place my order without help. The machine makes it so easy and fast. Simply put cut the line by doing it yourself. Places extremely clean, well organized. The food is pretty good also. I had Chicago hotdog very tasty. read more

The Italian Beef sandwich was ordered dry. It was great. Crinkle cut fries where good. The restaurant tables and floors need to be cleaned. Did not see any employee cleaning tables. The food workers where pleasant and helpful. read more

Disappointing. I figured that featuring something as basic as a hot dog, it would be a pretty special hot dog! While the Chicago dog tasted pretty good, the chili cheese dog was unremarkable. Both looked like they had been sat on. The cheese sauce had no flavor whatsoever and most of the fries were hard. Onion rings were real, so that was a plus. There really is no service, but the young lady taking the orders was pleasant and the dining room was a fun diner theme. Been there, done that, no need to go back. read more

Portillo's hired a large staff and seem to be doing everything possible to create a good dining experience. The order line moved pretty quick and there was not a long wait for the food to come out. My group ordered Chicago dogs, beef sandwiches, hamburgers, chili, polish sausages, cake slices and large milkshakes. Overall they did a great job....The Chicago dogs were amazing. read more

We have heard good things about Portillo's, and choose to experienced the news restaurant tonight. Walking up to the front doors, we noticed 50's music playing in the patio seating area. We entered to find a pleasantly fun 50's diner decor. They have an easy to read a la carte menu with a great selection of burgers, salads, sandwiches and hotdogs. They were well-staffed, and the young lady taking our order was really pleasant and helpful. The food came out really quick! We each had burgers and fries - very tasty! We loved the char-grilled patties. Mine was a littlemdry, but very flavorful - plus the bacon was crispy, as God intended. Overall, we really enjoyed Portillo's. Very tasty food, pleasant staff, and a fun environment! As we left, we both agreed that we will be back! read more

I was at a free preview private event prior to their opening. They will officially be open on January 9th 2024. We arrived almost an hour early for our reservation time and we were allowed to go right in. They gave us a couple of sample menus and we wandered in and spoke to a couple of employees on our way. Once at the register, Emma took care of us and was extremely helpful. We have some issues with some things that we can't have and she was able to assist with that easily. My companion got a broiled chicken sandwich with just tomato on it. They said it didn't have a ton of flavor but to be fair, it was broiled chicken. They did enjoy it and they had fries which definitely made things better. I was able to find out I could go off menu and get an Italian beef sandwich, which is my favorite from them. I ordered an Italian beef with hot peppers and extra dipped. I think this is the first time in Florida that my Italian beef came truly dripping with gravy and in a plastic bag to prevent it from leaking. It wouldn't have been a big deal since we were dining in but if I had been hitting the drive-through it might have been a concern. I also had an order of onions with my meal which were well cooked and very crispy. I like to get some of the gravy from the sandwich on my onion rings as well. We spoke to several of the employees while in the store and everyone was very friendly and personable. At this point this store is already looking like it's going to be another great addition here in Florida. The decor in this one is obviously different than other ones to a point. There are a lot of posters and signs around focusing on music, cars and food products like Coca-Cola. They also have a Portillo's Christmas tree up which looks really cool. Last but not least we get to have a slice of their chocolate cake but we are taking hours home to eat later. I know it will be good as I have never been disappointed by their chocolate cake. read more
