    I've always loved Portillos growing up and am glad to see them expanding towards me!I always get the 2 hot dog meal Chicago style and an Italian combo to go. Service is pretty good even when busy and the decor is pretty standard at the different locations but it's nice and comfortable.

    Chicago dog with fries
    Katherine P.

    Let me start off by saying we don't have a Portillo's anywhere near where I live so if there's one I'm going. I ordered a Chicago hot dog and fries with cheese sauce. Totally hit the spot. This restaurant is huge, has a drive thru, and skip the line kiosks. Food comes out quickly although staff is not mean but they aren't that friendly either. The lady at the cashier didn't smile, and was sitting down the entire time while the long grew longer and longer.

    History on the walls

    We stopped in here to grab some dinner before we went to the concert. We were just driving around and found Portillo's the service is go to the counter order and they call your number when it's ready. All the servers were friendly. We had chicken sandwiches and fries that were delicious, I wish I had tried the sausage. The history of this restaurant was told on the walls and with pictures very cool! The ambience was great. They were a little busy considering that the Bears were playing, the drive thru was jamming. Definitely worth getting a meal here.

    Went on a cross-country trip and had to stop for a Chicago dog. Open floor plan makes this restaurant seem bigger than it is. Hospitable staff and perfectly cooked dog made the experience that much better.

    Chicken sandwich

    The atmosphere was nice and the place s clean. The service was bad, we didn't get an opportunity Fred of fries we ordered and she forgot to give us a drink with one of our meals that we paid to have. The food was okay the chicken sandwich was okay. But the beef sandwich was gross the bread could have been better. Overall 2/5

    Good but overhyped and over priced. Better than most ff options. The fries need some work.

    What is so special about a hotdog? Probably can buy a whole package of hot dogs & buns for less at a grogery store

    You're correct. The hotdogs and hotdog buns would be less at a grocery store and wouldn't have a hair in them

    I love the burgers and fries here! I live the regular burger and the mushroom and Swiss! Love the…read moreParmesan truffle fries and the Cajun fries and whatever sauce they serve with it is sooo good! The absolutely best burgers in a drive through. Plus they got the Oberweiss ice cream is right there and it is soo tasty to get that in a milkshake! The staff is always so friendly too! Recommend!

    Review Visit: June 11th, 2018…read more That Burger Joint is... disjointed? Recently, Oberweis Dairy (an ice cream store, a la Cold Stone Creamery) has expanded to offer a restaurant attached to their store. While driving through Bloomington, the gimmicky name instantly caught my eye. You would think if you visit a restaurant with burger in it's name, you would order a burger. But I didn't. I ordered 'That Spicy Chicken'. My friend ordered 'That Burger'. We sat down and were anxious to dig in to the food. The sandwiches were massive and heavy. Almost too big to eat. But where it was big in size, it lacked in flavor. I got jalapenos on my chicken and it definitely added a kick, but the chicken itself tasted... off. It wasn't bad, but it didn't give me anything to write home about. Just this blog post. I tried my friend's burger and she tried my sandwich. Her burger was full of flavor due to the toppings and grease, but the actual meat had no more flavor than a $4 pound of unseasoned beef that you'd get at the local grocer. She agreed that the food was mediocre overall. The lay out of the inside reminds me of a hybrid between Steak N Shake and Five Guys Burger & Fries. You walk up to the counter, place your order and you either take it to go or they can bring it out to your table. It's that cross between fast food and restaurant. The decor was sparse and lacking. There is an attempt to give it a rustic look, but the large swathes of black leave much to be desired. The customer service was good while ordering, but once we were sitting down, the staff was complaining among themselves about how short staffed they were. I hate to score That Burger Joint so low, but I can't in good conscious give it a glowing review. It's best to avoid it, even if you are there getting ice cream. There are way better places in Bloomington/Normal to get food.
