This was on our must try places to eat considering 90% of the restaurants that we've tried lately have been terrible. Portillo's did not disappoint. We were in the area for a medical procedure that I was having done so we came in to finally try it. I ordered the cheese burger combo with no sauce it came just the way I ordered it. The meat patty was not over seasoned like alot of burger places and the French fries were served nice and hot not too salty. My boyfriend ordered the same thing and enjoyed it alot. We didn't get a chance to try the chocolate cake I was already higher than a kite from being sedated from my neck injection and just really needed to lay down. We loved the decor inside the store itself was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. I'd recommend the Gilbert location they don't seem to disappoint and it's great for large groups.

Char-Broiled Chicken Sandwiches (Serves 8)

Recently I added some meat back in to my diet, and Portillo's hands down has the best chicken sandwich! The drive thru was both friendly and fast. The exterior is very clean, and looks to be a newer location. I'll definitely return when in the area or stop at one of their other locations as they have a plant-based dog I do when avoiding meat or this when I can tolerate some meat. A great meal no matter the choice!

French Fries

I love me a good Chicago dog! It always brings back memories from my childhood. Portillo's makes a decent dog. All the toppings were fresh which made it good. The hotdog didn't have much flavor and kind of disappeared in each bite. The fries were also decent. I tried hubbies Maxwell polish and it was good. If I return, I'll see if I can swap out the polish for the hotdog. Loved the store decor and oldie but goodie music. Takes you back in time. As I type, I think I may go grab a chocolate shake to go. I'm sure it'll be a sweet ending to a sweet day date. If the shake is on point, I'll leave the review as is. If it's not, I'll come back to update it LOL.

This is how the Beef & Cheddar Croissant looked at first glance. Where's the cheddar?!

I'm generally a fan of Portillo's. I like this new location since they have an abundance of booths and offer touchscreens for ordering. The Good: *I love their chili cheese dogs. They have generous amounts of chili, the dog has a good snap to it and the poppy seed bun is always fresh. *I joined their rewards program and was pleased to see items drop into my account - like a free slice of cake for my half birthday and a free Italian Beef sandwich for no reason at all. We really appreciated that. *I attended an event to try their salads (something I normally wouldn't order) and was pleasantly surprised at how fresh and good they were. The Not So Good: *I tried something different (the Beef and Cheddar Croissant) and was quite surprised by the lack of cheese on it. I even went up and asked an employee because at first glance, it looked like someone barely sprinkled any on it. They explained that they put most of the cheese wrapped inside the beef but even after I dug around it seemed minimal. For an ingredient that receives co-top billing in the sandwich I thought that was kind of a ripoff and probably wouldn't order it again. My husband and son love the Italian sausage and Italian beef, and since I enjoy the chili dog and the great rewards program I'm sure we'll be back.

Food - Italian beef. I thought it had good flavor and wasn't too salty. The bread had a nice spongy texture to it. The bread wasn't soggy. The beef didn't have a lot of fatty pieces, which I liked. Here's how they describe it on their website. "[Their] famous, homemade, Italian beef is slow-roasted for 4 hours, with a blend of Italian spices, thinly sliced, and served on fresh baked Turano French bread. Customized to your liking by adding home-cooked sweet peppers, hot giardiniera peppers, and as much of [their] secretly-spiced gravy as you'd like! The peppers are extra. You pay extra for the peppers. They also say the following on their website. "The standard sandwich is served by splashing a bit of [their] flavorful, secretly-spiced gravy on it. Some like their sandwich "dipped," which means [they] dip the whole sandwich in [their] gravy. You can also order it "dry," with very little gravy. Why do [they] call it gravy? Because it's actual gravy, just like grandma used to serve: [They] use the beef's natural gravy that comes off of it while roasting for four hours." Their gravy is good. It is not thick. I found it to have a more runny texture, which I did not mind. The gravy had flavor and was not overly salty. I recommend getting it on the side so your Italian beef sandwich doesn't get soggy. If you eat fast that you can get it dipped or wet. Atmosphere - No strange or strong odors or smells. I did not visit the restroom. It was a little busy inside. Many the tables were filled. Service - I was able to order on their electronic kiosk at the front. I loved the large screen. The service here was fairly quick. Order and pay at the counter or kiosk. Self seating. You pick up your order at the second window. Parking - Surface parking lot. No parking meter or parking structures. Would love if they have covered parking with solar panels or plants in the future. Unique - Extremely large kiosk offering screens. Loved it. Did not see a health rating on Yelp. I like seeing the restaurant health ratings. Seemed clean and organized when I visited.

Pretty cool. Quick stop - I had never been inside a Portillo's. The last time I ordered from one in Tucson they got my order wrong and I couldn't eat my sandwich because they added cheese. I went with a coworker, we both enjoyed ourselves. We didn't wait long. My first time in San Tan village.

Italian Sausage
Dana A.

Can't get enough of this location. This was a random pull into the drive-through to grab an Italian beef and a Chicago style hotdog. On point as always.

Ordered catering at the tune of $450. They were supposed to set it up after delivery but did not. The meatballs and sausages were burnt. Left a message for a callback and haven't heard a thing. Won't be ordering catering again.

Chicago-Style Hot Dog
Agrin R.

The hot dog itself was average. I tried the chili-cheese and the Chicago-style. Their relish tasted funny and the fries were way too salty They call out your order number through an intercom service that is worse than any airport, you can't understand it at all. Do yourself a favor and go to "Ted's Hot Dogs" in Tempe if you want a tasty hot dog

This is a very fun place to visit sit for the whole family. They had lots of eye catching signs all over the place as well as a big neon sign near the ordering area. The employees were nice unfortunately the food was just ok. I ordered a spicy chicken sandwich and an Arnold Palmer, wifey got a Chicago dog. The drinks are filled by the employees "no soda fountains patrons can access" the spicy chicken sandwich was spicy but had no flavor.

Cheri R.

Being from IL my husband chose Portillo's for Father's Day. He wanted a Chicago dog and they didn't let us down Everyone was happy with the delicious food. The gentleman taking our order was pleasant and most helpful. It has a great ambiance to sit with family and enjoy our meal.

Went to tour a bit of the Gilbert, AZ area and my cousin suggested this place as she likes their…read moreZucchini Fries & milkshakes. At first I thought I didn't want a burger as I usually make my own at home but was pleasantly surprised at the menu & ambiance. Sarina was our waitress & I asked her if the California Bowl was like a salad with a veggie burger as it doesn't state a beef patty? She said it's like a burger w/o a bun but as a bowl w/the ingredients & TOPPED with a beef patty. Oh, I see... So I asked if I could just have the Basmati Rice but it was a mixture of Basmati & Quinoa so she said she could give me more ingredients of something else like Brussels sprouts or Greens so I asked for more Greens. The ingredients are: griddled Sweet Potatoes, roasted Mushrooms, caramelized Onions, Brussels Sprouts, Quinoa, Avocado slices with a Tamari glaze. It was also topped with Cilantro & Green Onions. I also ordered an Iced Tea. The California Burger Bowl was soooo delicious with such a flavor bomb of textures, sweetness & caramelized, smokey flavors! The crunchiness from the cold greens, warm Brussels Sprouts, soft & sweet Caramelized Onions & Sweet Potatoes, plus the creaminess of the Avocados was such a great medley! I think I need to replicate this at home! Very creative & healthy! My cousin & friend both got burgers, one topped with mushrooms & one with a lettuce wrap sub, Zucchini & Sweet Potato Fries. The seating is very comfortable with the cushioned seats & booths & the restaurant is very bright & airy with lots of windows & high ceilings. If you have to use the restroom, it's located outside & will give you a passcode. Highly recommend this place!

Hubby & I had dinner here tonight. I can't believe we haven't been here before…read more We were greeted by multiple staff when we walked in. Everyone was welcoming & friendly. We were seated right away & our server came over promptly. Hubby got his favorite draft beer, I got the red Zinrita. Both of which were good. We ordered the pretzels & cheese. Hubby got the burger of the week which was the Chuck Norris & onion rings. I got the double smashed burger & fries. The pretzels & cheese were excellent! They were the best we have ever had & we've had a lot. I don't think the cheese is beer cheese, but whatever it was it was so good. Hubby loved his burger & the onion rings were really good. They ate like Red Robin onion rings. They were crispy & cooked perfectly. My burger was good. I got it without the tomato bacon relish. my fries were good & crispy. It's a bit pricey in my opinion for not coming with fries, but still really good. I'm sure we will come back again.

We started with a beer and the cauliflower appetizer--both were amazing! Just a heads-up: the cauliflower is a little spicy, but totally addictive. Our burgers arrived quickly. The onion rings and duck fat fries were on point with unique seasoning, and the homemade ketchup and pickles were a welcome surprise. We tried the PB&J burger, which was both creative and delicious. Overall, it was a fun "dinner adventure," and we will definitely be back!

There are so many breweries and pubs around here that there's pretty tough competition. As other reviewers have stated, their duck fat fries are great! So crispy and the herbs really elevate it. They can be a little heavy handed with the salt to the point where you may see salt piles on your fries, but at least the salt granules are larger and can be easily swept off. Although their fries are great on their own, they unfortunately struggle to strand up when loaded. I'm not sure how they do it, but we've been to places where fries can remain crispy even when loaded with toppings. Their poutine is still tasty though if you don't mind your fries soggy. Their burgers have great beefy flavor, but after trying a few of their burger options, my partner and I also feel that some other places do their unique burger stylings a bit better. A lot of the toppings overwhelm rather than contribute to the overall burger. There's plenty of searing both indoors and out. You have bar top, high table, and regular table style seating for indoors. There's plenty of 4 person tables outdoors under shade and also with misters on if it's hot out. Indoor seating offers plenty of viewing for sports. Service is also pleasant. Due to how they source their ingredients, the overall menu is on the pricier side. Although my partner and I prefer other breweries more, we do think it's still worth it to try visiting Arizona Wilderness Brewing at least once.

Hubby & I had dinner here tonight. It was confusing how things worked when we first got there…read more You seat yourself. There are menus we didn't see, or you can scan the QR codes at the table. When you scan it, it lets them know your table. One of the employees brought us waters & I asked about the cocktails. I asked if they had Tito's & cranberry juice. He was very friendly & brought us menus. He said they have a full bar & he would put the drinks on our bill. Hubby got his favorite beer on draft, Dosexis. I got what I asked for. Hubby ordered the Das Brat. Which is a bratwurst, caramelized onions, sauerkraut & spicy brown mustard & fries. I ordered the cheeseburger.A burger with white American cheese, pickles, lettuce, onion & no secret sauce without tomato with onion rings. Hubby's beer was good. My Tito's & cranberry juice had a good pour & was good. Our food came out pretty quickly. Everything was great. Hubby loved his sausage. I normally don't like battered fries, but they were good & crispy. They didn't have a lot of batter on them. My burger was really good. I could only eat half of the four. The onion rings were crispy & good. We brought the leftovers home & our son devoured my burger, the rest of the fries & onion rings. He liked everything. What a perfect place! Great food & alcohol! I definitely see us coming back!

Dog Haus is incredible, with ample seating, brewery ambiance, and friendly staff…read more The Food: There are times when you go to a restaurant, get an item that sounds good, and that becomes your main...your primary...the only thing you get cause it's that damn good. For Dog Haus, that item is the little mule. Burger patty, cheese, avocado, pickled jalapeños, egg, and some other magical stuff all on a sweet Hawaiian bun. Pair that with some onion rings and Dog Haus is spelled H.E.A.V.E.N. I've only had good experiences there and will happily go back. The only downside is the price. Be prepared to spend around ~$25-$30 per person depending on what you order (alcohol not included in that price).
