Portillo's, home to famous Chicago-style hot dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, juicy burgers, fresh salads, iconic chocolate cake, and milkshakes. Do they live up to the type? Most certainly! Ordering was pretty easy, kiosk or counter, take your pick. The rodeo burger caught my attention immediately. It was first introduced to me by a friend who said, if you've never tried, you most certainly have to! The onion rings and barbecue sauce changes the whole game for a burger. Thinking about it has me salivating. Honestly. You can get it regular or as a double and no going back as soon as you've had it! I paired my burger wth chili cheese fries. I'm regretting not adding the jalapeños to it. They had this lemon cake milkshake that is absolutely delicious. There's actual cake in that that shake! I noticed that they offer catering too. Order pickup shelving were also nearby. There is a huge dining area with tables snd chairs as well as booths. Even outdoor seating. There's also plenty of parking and appears to have drive through making easy transactions. read more

It happened again Unfortunately I have not a flawless drive through order at this Portillos in awhile. Last time it was a Chicago Combo Bowl that did not contain sausage The time before that it was a cheeseburger with mayo after I told the girl in the drive lane NO mayo. Today ... 4:40pm ... a big beef WITH mozzarella and gravy on the side did not have either ... no cheese; no gravy What are customers supposed to do if the receipt says the correct items .... pull over in the parking lot; unwrap everything in the car then get back in line to point out the error? As this is Arizona there are not a lot of choices for Chicago beef sandwiches. Come on guys! Talk to your cooks ... please. Next mistake might be my last time. read more

I could eat here every single day. I love portillos and the side of cheese sauce def makes it even better! The drive thru is always quick and the service is fast and efficient! read more

Portillo's Gilbert - Salad Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Visited Portillo's while in Gilbert. The atmosphere was lively and spacious, and the service was efficient, though the ordering process felt a bit unclear. Who doesn't love a new spot -- it's a big space, and while I've been to the downtown Chicago location which has that nostalgic charm, this one is honestly nicer and more polished. Tried the Italian beef -- good value, and while the taste was decent, it didn't quite hit the mark for me. The ordering was a bit confusing as I expected it to automatically come with giardiniera, and had to go back up to ask for it. Overall, a solid option locally, but not quite on the level of Al's #1 Italian Beef -- still, it's what we have here. Saluti. read more

Always delicious! The sausage with grilled onions and mustard is the best. Snappy sausage is flavorful and juicy. The onions are sweet and is perfect with the sandwich. The chicken tender was meh. Nothing special, very underwhelming. read more

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! read more

Portillo's Gilbert - Char-Broiled Chicken Sandwiches (Serves 8) - Salad Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

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. read more

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. read more

Omg, just got home with our drive-thru order, 2 beef sandwiches one side of so called gravy. It is literally 3/4 oil and is disgusting...living in Mesa we were on our way home and never had a problem till now read more

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. read more

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. read more

If you're from the Chicagoland area, you know what this place is all about. If you're not, this is where you're going to get an authentic Chicago style hot dog. Having lived most of my life in Chicagoland, it's nearly impossible to have never eaten at a Portillo's. I went to this location on a Sunday and was pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn't that crowded at all. Usually there's a line around the building going into a Portillo's but I guess in Arizona, it's different. This location is a bit off the beaten path but not hard to find. The manager was very accommodating when I had a request, and the service was quick. I can't come here without getting an Italian beef and a chopped salad, so that's what it was today. If I'm feeling nostalgic, I might get a Chicago style hot dog, So for all you Arizonans, come give it a whirl. Not to worry,it won't make you want to move to Illinois. Trust me on that one. read more

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. read more

I'm just not a fan of Potillo's, The service is always consistent, the facility is always extremely clean at all of their locations. The food, is just overhyped and overrated. The food is decent, but the way people from Illinois talk about Portillo's. Like it's the greatest food on earth. I'm not talking negative about them, it is decent. Bit I have had much better elsewhere. read more

It was a Friday night and we decided to go out to eat. Most places are busy and so was Portillos but it's a big restaurant with outdoor tables. It was a lovely night so we sat outside. My kids had cheeseburgers and fries and my husband had the beef sandwich and I had the chopped salad. Everybody enjoyed their meals. The chocolate cake looked yummy but we were to full. This is a good place to come with a group or even. Y yourself read more

Love Portillo's in Gilbert! The Italian beef is fantastic, the classic throwback atmosphere is spot-on, the large open seating area is bright and comfortable, and the staff is always friendly and efficient. A true Chicago-style classic right here in Arizona! read more

We visited Portillo's for the first time on Friday night with another couple, and we had a great experience! The staff was incredibly friendly, the restaurant was clean, and our food came out quickly. The food was just good overall, but the customer service really stood out and made the visit memorable. They serve classic comfort foods like hot dogs, hamburgers, French fries, shakes, and chocolate cake. If you're a chocolate lover, don't leave without trying the Chocolate Cake Shake, oh my goodness! It was rich, delicious. read more

Just like I remember it being when I'd eat lunch at Schaumburg Portillo's many years ago. The Italian beef and a Chicago dog. Those are my go to selections. And they were delicious here. I don't eat here often but it's Donnie to have the option to get some Portillo's when the urge arises. read more

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 read more

Love the options at Portillo's I usually get the Italian beef but my husband and I decided to try their hotdogs and were pleasantly surprised. They were really good.

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. read more

What a great place to find some great food. I found this place quite a while ago however, I just now decided to write a review. Every single time I visit everybody is super nice and super helpful. The restaurant itself is very clean and big enough to see a lot of people. It's a little bit on the pricey side, but it's very good. Give them a shot! read more

This review is specifically for their salads. I'm not a fan of their other stuff (personal preference) but the salads, they are actually really good! I shared the Greek salad and Spicy Chicken salad with my friends and since then they've came back by themselves to get more. The spicy chicken salad is my favorite as there is a lot of ingredients in it, notable little pastas. It is very filling. I would recommend for people who are on the go. Interior is really interesting and quirky. Staff is also very enthusiastic. It is an experience for sure. Very American vibes. read more

I like this Portillo's location near SanTan Village in Gilbert. It is a 7,800 square-foot space that has a retro garage theme to it. It also has a large parking lot. Portillo's is a chain that originated in Chicago in the early 60's and are known for their Chicago-style hot dogs. There are lots of photos on the wall that pay homage to their early days. Besides their hot dogs, I love the Italian Beef with Peppers, Onion Rings, Broiled Chicken Sandwich and the Chocolate Cake Shake. I recently came here and got to try one of their new salads off their menu. My first Portillo's experience was actually in Chicago. I remember trying my first Chicago-style dog and really enjoying it. Ever since my first trip to the Windy City back in 2012, Portillo's locations have been popping up all over the Valley. We have a lot of people from Chicago that live here and lately AZ has become home to many of their restaurants. When the employees call your number, they like to do it in a rhyme over the microphone. This location also has a drive-thru. read more

NEVER had a bad meal at Portillo's! We always hit the drive through and it's always FAST and EFFICIENT! While there is much debate in Chicago about who has the best Italian Beef sandwich there's NO DEBATE in AZ. Portillo's is hands down the champ! Pro Tip - Skip the fries and get the Big Beef. Sweet, Hot and Mozz, DIPPED! read more

We ordered the Italian Beef, fries, chopped salad and drinks from the young lady at the counter rather than from the kiosk. Unfortunately she seemed to be very abrupt regarding talking our order. We knew exactly what we were ordering so we didn't stand at the counter waffling and trying to decide. The sandwich and salad were very good. Fries must have been sitting around awhile waiting for other food items to be prepared as they were room temperature. Don't have old fries ready for serving especially when the restaurant of the food isn't ready. The dining area was extremely loud and then adding the order numbers being called out unintelligibly (it sounded like the mic was inside the persons mouth) it made it hard to enjoy our meal. What made it even worse it that each order was called out 2-3 times since no one could understand what was being said. read more

We were in Gilbert and wanted a quick bite and the food was pretty good! We ordered the 2 hotdogs (garden dogs) with mustard, peppers, tomato's, relish, onions, ADD ketchup, with a large fry and drink. $18 was the total. This is the only vegan/veggie option. If you are hungry and thinking about sharing this meal, think again. Might want to order 2 of these. Place is pretty spacious and I love a place that has outdoor sitting which was a plus. It took about 10 minutes for our order to be completed, maybe because it was the garden dog, but the wait wasn't too bad. Would definitely come again! read more

I remember the days when the drive thru lines wrapped around the parking lot--now you can drive right up with no wait. That alone should've been a telling sign. I don't frequent often, but I was in the area and had a bday cake reward to use. The cake should've been free for my birthday, but apparently, the reward now expires within seven days. I missed it by just a few days, and they wouldn't make an exception. Then I knew something was off when they handed me a noticeably smaller bag. I checked to make sure both items were there and drove home, only to be even more disappointed. Prices have gone up, and portions have gone down. I ordered a chopped salad and a slice of cake. The salad used to be satisfying, but now it felt like a side dish. The amount of chicken and blue cheese was substantially reduced--barely enough to call it a proper meal. The cake looked like it had been dropped on the floor, and both the cake and the salad were tiny--more like kid-sized portions. Eating out just doesn't feel worth it anymore. The food quality isn't enough to keep me coming back, and judging by the empty drive-thru, I'm not the only one who feels that way. read more

Portillo's Gilbert - Salad Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Went to a later dinner (8:45pm) and it was relatively empty. Very spacious inside with many tables. Likely fills up at popular times like the Tempe Marketplace location. Fun antiques and older posters/pictures scattered about. Ordered a jumbo Chicago dog with everything and onion rings. Good size and was just enough food for me, but my son needs 2 to fill up. Really tasty as they use high quality ingredients. The onion rings are crunchy and tasty as well. They have burgers, salads, desserts and a bar counter with limited selection (I think there were 3 or 4 beers on tap). Good variety of food and drink options for larger groups. Service seemed a little slow for how few people were there. Also a little disappointing that salt and pepper is not out for the customers to grab, need to ask for it from the food counter...and then I got one packet of each. read more

We ordered through the app and ate inside. Big, open seating. Food is good. Only negative is this location does not have a serve your own drink station. You need to go to the counter and try to get someone's attention to refill your drink. read more

DO NOT COME HERE. - I've had food poisoning since last night immediately after eating here. I never leave reviews but this is not okay. I came here last night and ordered an Italian beef sandwich with a cheese fry from the drive thru. Not even 15 minutes after I was done eating I felt extremely sick. I have been vomiting all night and it's lead into this morning as well. And for whoever is reading this saying oh maybe she ate something else that made her sick I can assure you I didn't. The beef looked more pale than normal which should've been my sign. Very disappointing and disgusting. read more

Came to this location while visiting from out of town. Unfortunately, it wasn't the best experience. I ordered ahead and was told my order would be ready at 12:48pm and that it could take up to 10 more minutes once there. I got there at 12:52 and checked the Pick Up order section; my food wasn't there. I waited for some time, about 10 minutes, and a guy came over, asked my name. I told him and he turned around and grabbed my already packaged food from behind the Pick Up counter - where it had been sitting for at least 10-15 minutes just getting cold. It was also exceptionally loud in there. I got it home and much to my disappointment, it was missing a sandwich. So back to the restaurant we go, as no one answered the phone for several attempts. Once there, no one was available to help me at the Pick Up counter so I stood in the regular line. They made my missing burger, and did give a free slice of chocolate cake. Back home I go to eat the rest of my now, very cold, food. It was "meh". My beef sandwich was really cold, there was barely any au jus to dip it in (which was fine because it was also cold) and the cheese for the cheese fries was really cold. Chocolate cake was delicious though! I think they're new so I'll go back once they've gotten things a bit more organized. read more
