Came in to try out the new sauce flight with the chicken strips. Surprisingly very tasty! It came with 5 sauces in a cute box that shows what they all are. My favorite was hands down the giardiniera sauce, it had a little kick to it, but in a very good way! The other sauces were your standard dipping sauces, which is fine, don't get me wrong. The giardiniera sauce was just top of the list for sure. Also, now that it's coming to be spring/summer....their lemon cake shakes are back! I HAD to get the strawberry lemon cake shake, it's so good, but oh so bad LOL! All in all, the food was hot, and the service was great! The person in the lobby cleaning tables even greeted people as they walked in and thanked them when they left. Great experience overall! read more

Why did I wait so long before heading back to Portillo's. Huge parking lot with plenty of spaces. Inside is lively with the decor and energy. Staff were all extremely helpful and friendly. Order: Italian Beef with hot peppers and grilled onions with cheese sauce ... dry. The pro move is to order broth to dip on the side. If you dip the sandwich it was to be eaten in the restaurant immediately or else the bun just disintegrates and you are eating it with a knife and fork. The beef was flavorful. The cheese sauce is like a warm hug. The grilled onions add a little crunch and texture. The hot peppers add that kick that wakes up your taste buds with each bite. This is like a Philly cheesesteak/french dip/italian beef all in one! So so so good. Enjoy. read more

Portillo's Maple Grove - Italian Beef Sandwich with hot peppers, grilled onions and cheese sauce - Burgers Near Me - Maple Grove, Minnesota

Food and service here are great! The dining room is large, they have kiosks to place orders and cashiers, your choice! The beef sandwiches with pepper, with a side of gravy is my go to. Onion rings are full slices of onions, not the chopped onions kind of rings. My other menu item is the chopped salad. It's so good. Pasta, chicken, cheese with greens. Comes with a piece of fresh bread and butter. read more

Portillo's Maple Grove - Chill - Burgers Near Me - Maple Grove, Minnesota

What a fun restaurant with delicious food! Enjoyed the chopped salad with the house dressing and chicken tenders with barbecue and ranch sauce. The restaurant features vintage street style decor, historic signs, old photos and colorful murals plastered on the walls paying homage to a 1930s Chicago aesthetic. Family friendly and vibrant vibes. Plenty of parking. Love! read more

Portillo's has quickly become one of my favorite fast food now that there are locations in MN now. I really like the onion rings here. The chicken burger is seasoned well but it could be more crispy. I also like the cheese burger here and my husband likes how there is a fish sandwich for him (he doesn't eat red meat). I haven't tried their shakes yet but I heard good things. The chocolate cake is a little too eggy for me but it is very chocolatey which is nice for me as a chocolate lover. We usually do drive thru or delivery and had no issues. read more

4pm Monday. My first bad review. Waited 30 min in the drive through with only my car and one ahead of me. Ordered a #2. 30 minutes this took longest fast food wait I have ever had. I will go to somewhere else next time. read more

Ordered one beef and cheddar croissant. Croissant was not very fresh, on the stale side. There was only a little beef not 3oz. or the right amount like I'm used to. There was a little shredded cheese instead of the normal probably meant for their chili dogs etc. weird. M.G. location. I did get my gravy on the side though. read more

Quick service with the best dang customer service around! Truly - whenever I come in with a rewards coupon, they've always been so awesome to help me. I like that you can order on the kiosk or with a human. We've had fast, efficient and friendly service every time here. My go-tos are: Hot italian beef Cheese sauce and fries Shake (they have rotating and seasonal flavors) Burger - surprisingly so good I crave their chicken salad too - the dressing is unreal! We don't do takeout since it can get a little sloppy, but never mind eating in here because the decor / ambiance is so good for a fast casual chain. read more

Such a guilty pleasure. The hot beef dipped with sweet peppers was delicious. I also got a Chicago dog and of course a slice of their famous chocolate cake for later. Service and app were both easy for a seamless pick up. read more

I generally like Portillo's. I'd usually get chicken tenders or the spicy chicken sandwich and fries. Last time I went I got the spicy chicken salad and it was really good so I decided to get that again this time & a side of fries. My mom ordered the spicy chicken sandwich meal (w/ onion rings). We ordered on the kiosk which was very convenient and easy to use. The food wasn't as good as I remembered it being and I think it's slightly due to they had me waiting for about 10 min for hot bread (that comes with the salad) while the rest of the food was getting cold on the counter (besides the salad). By time I got to the table the fries and onion rings were not hot at all. My mom said her sandwich was lukewarm which she didn't really care for. Also the chicken on my salad which is basically the chicken patty cut up was not spicy at all, neither was the sandwich. I don't know if it's been toned down but it used to have a nice kick. The salad for the most part was fine. Hopefully it was just a one off experience. read more

Portillo's Maple Grove - Burgers Near Me - Maple Grove, Minnesota

Honestly I come to portillos just for their onion rings! Probably my fave spot to get onion rings. The hot dogs and burgers are good too, just a bit overpriced. My husband did enjoy their beef sandwich though especially with the extra dip! There's plenty of parking and spots to sit at inside. read more

We visited Portillo's for the first time just due to all the hype my friends share. My husband had a chili dog and a beer. I had onion rings and a IPA. Yuck. Hubby thought the hot dog was a bit messy and the casing had a crunch when he bit into it. My onion rings were good. I will never have another IPA again. But that's not a reflection of the restaurant. We just wanted to try it. The inside was definitely decorated and seemed family friendly since there weren't any TVs. I loved this part. Most likely won't be back due to the limited menu and my own dislike of hot dogs in general. read more

I've been to this Portillo's a few times. I always love the chocolate cake, and I usually get a burger with the fries. They can be a little pricey, but overall, the food is really tasty. I love the authentic style of the building outside and inside, with all the fun signs and pictures. I tried a hot dog the other day and was also thoroughly impressed. Drive-thru service is pretty quick, which is always appreciated. Definitely recommend coming here for a burger or hot dog, and definitely get dessert! read more

I can see how this place has its fans. I have never been to one before so I finally had a chance to eat here after driving by it for a year! If you have not eaten here before, their Italian gravy is more like an au jus... I was expecting something thicker - it wasn't but I still liked the food. The chocolate cake milkshakes are DELICIOUS if you still have gluten, sugar and milk allowed in your diet. OMG. Prices were fair. Service was good. To be honest I this place was more upscale - but it's essentially huge fast food restaurant. The kitchen space in here is amazing. Will definitely be back to try a hot dog sometime. read more

Italian beef was off the chain GREAT....Service was cool Ambiance was great it was a weekday so the wait time to order was less than 5mins read more

I love Portillo's and wanted to take my mom to experience their food. I tried to hype up the Italian beef but she went for the hot dogs and sausages. However she also got two Italian dips for me and one was very pork made (which I took a photo of). The bread was barely cut and therefore ore was mostly bread and very little meat. We definitely didn't get our $ worth. The other one was made properly but we didn't notice til we opened the second one at home. My mother's review of the hot dog and sausage was that it wasn't good. She said it didn't have any flavor and she expected something different. The cashier was very nice and helpful and friendly. On the flip side our order wasn't called and I had to walk to the counter to see if a bag (that was left there by an employee) was the bag my mother ordered. She was surprised by this as well. Someone there who really loves her job it seems, is the person who greeted us upon walking in/cleaning the tables. She made the experience lovely for my mother. read more

Love Portillos from my chi days It's naturally messy...the beef.. but tastes great nothing else like it Don't expect a ham sandwich just get plenty of " grease" on it and go read more

Always enjoy Portillo's from the cool street style decor, signs and pictures on the wall to the good Chicago style eats. Hotdogs, Italian sausage, dipped roast beef sandwiches, burgers fries and rings. This location I felt the food was a bit mediocre, everything was just ok, onion rings overcooked, fries undercooked. I'm usually raving about Portillo's it's one of the best fast food chains. There aren't any close to where I live so it's always a stop when close to one. read more

Being from Chicago and now living in Minnesota, I was super excited to find a Portillo's in my neighborhood. I went there to get food that I loved growing up in Chicago that I used to get at the Chicago ones all the time. The roast beef sandwich with gravy, Chicago, dog, cheeseburger, and fries and cheese sauce all things I used to love to eat back in Chicago Portillo's. I decided on this trip to get a Chicago dog with cheese fries and a beef sandwich with gravy to eat for dinner the next day. Food was nothing like it used to be in Chicago. The fries were very cold and hard. The roast beef taste like it had absolutely no seasoning. The Chicago dog tasted OK. I was really sad for this experience. Kind of ruined what I hope to be a good experience of something. I always used to love as a kid. Not sure if it's this location or Portillo's itself, but the food quality has seemed to really drop down. It's really a bummer especially since the food is so much more expensive now. read more

This is great alternative to the standard fastfood resturants - they make the food quickly and it is nice and fresh. I had been here for a YELP event earlier in the week and decided to bring my husband back 1) Spicy Chicken Chopped Salad - I would highly recommend, I loved the dressing and the picked items although seem odd were really good on it 2) Spicy Chicken Sandwich - clearly I have a thing for spicy items - it was full of flavor and great Will we come back - Yep! read more

Had such a great experience here the other day for a friends birthday lunch! I'm originally from the east coast so I had no idea what Portillos was until recently, but it has quickly become one of my favorite "fast causal" restaurants! I ordered the cheeseburger and fries, both were delicious and filling. Of course, we also ordered a slice of their iconic chocolate cake to celebrate. The ambiance of this restaurant is super fun with lots of Chicago-themed decor. Service was quick and food came out fresh and hot. read more

Place is huge and service was little slow maybe the people in front of me ordered $120 worth of food! I just order the 3 hot dogs...Maxwell, Chili Dog and Beef Hot Dog. Nothing impressive or special. It's all the toppings that changes the flavor on your palates. The chili dog was a disappointment, chili was a little skimpy. The Maxwell and Beef hot dog was so so. Overall the food was decent. It's my first outing here and I would come back to try other stuff on the menu. read more

When we are in the Twin Cities and in the mood for Chicago style hot dogs or Italian beef sandwiches with peppers, this is where we come. Indoor seating is vast, and there is a large outdoor seating area as well. Today, it was Chicago dogs with fries and diet soft drinks. The Chicago dogs are the real deal, so we always order the jumbo because a regular hot dog is going to get lost in the swirl of peppers, pickles, tomatoes, onions and relish that are the hallmark of a great Chicago dog. Our meal was very much on point, but I do wish that we did not have to return to the counter for pop refills. This is where the restaurant needs to upgrade. read more

Portillo's Maple Grove - Jumbo Chicago dog and french fries - Burgers Near Me - Maple Grove, Minnesota

Entered building. Temperature acceptable. Smelled like commitment and hot dogs. Interior: Chicago nostalgia deployed liberally. Signage implies someone named "Frank" mattered once. Walls decorated with artifacts from a city that never apologized. One booth may contain Jimmy Hoffa. No evidence, just vibes. Food: Italian beef--moist, vaguely heroic. Bun held integrity under pressure. Cake shake existed simultaneously as beverage and life choice. Fries came in quantity. All items successfully entered digestive system. Service: Efficient. No one cried. Employee handed me a tray and did not warn me about the existential implications. Felt like a test. Ambiance: Lighting reminiscent of every uncle's basement who once had dreams. Music played softly enough to avoid lawsuits, loudly enough to prevent introspection. Shadows in corner seemed politically neutral. Could be haunted. Jimmy Hoffa lore remains unresolved. Final Assessment: Ate food. Felt feelings. Would return under similar circumstances. read more

I haven't been to Portillo's in years and after tonight's experience I can see why. Great location with ample parking, Portillo's had great customer service. But despite paying $20, I was very disappointed with their "famous" hot dogs. Both hot dogs I received were totally flavorless. Fries were tasty, but cold. All in all, decidedly average and way overpriced. read more

My experience here was amazing. I was politely served by a young gentleman who directed me to the water station. He was very helpful, and his friendly demeanor made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. After I got my water, I decided to ask a few questions, and he responded quickly and professionally, making sure I had all the information I needed. I also had the chance to try some other items, and I was impressed with the efficiency of the service. Everything was prepared quickly, and I could tell the staff was dedicated to providing excellent service. The restaurant itself had a pleasant atmosphere, making it an overall enjoyable experience. My friend insisted I mention in this review how much they loved the shake from Portillo's. They said it was one of the best shakes they've had in a long time, and after trying it myself, I completely agree. It was rich, creamy, and absolutely delicious! This definitely added to the positive experience. THANK YOU PORTILLO'S read more

Visited with my mom on a Thursday afternoon around 4pm- we ordered the #2 to get two regular hot dogs and then added on a slice of cake. The order took... a strangely long amount of time to make. It was a 20ish minute wait to get our food even though no one was there. But either way, the food was pretty good. I mistakenly thought that the pepper was a pickle so I bit the hell out of it and had a terrible time. So I took the peppers off and one of the tomatoes (I don't like them very much but had to try it). But the real star of the show was the CAKE. Oh my god I would go back just for the cake. It was moist, chocolatey, and perfect. Wow. Highly recommend. read more

Picked up an order with multiple hot dogs that was completely messed up. We ordered different hot dogs with different toppings for each family member, including garden dogs for the vegetarian. We got the right number of hot dogs in the order but zero garden dogs. They also just put the same toppings on all the hot dogs. So only one family member got what they wanted on their hot dogs, and we have two hot dogs that no one will eat since they aren't garden dogs. And then we had to order and go get different food for the vegetarian, which delayed dinner by 30 minutes. Extremely disappointing experience. read more

We went through the Portillo's Maple Grove drive thru a few months ago, and it was somehow my first time trying it! I was very excited as my old roommate used to tell me how awesome their food is - I'd say it's "upscale fast food." The line wasn't too busy, and we got our food quick. I ordered the Portillo's regular beef hot dog ($3.99) which comes with the classic Chicago-style dog fixin's and a large fry ($4.19). I liked both my hot dog and their crispy crinkle-cut fries. I'm not normally a crinkle fan, but these were pretty good and they gave us plenty. The one critique about the hot dog was some of the bun had gotten soggy due to the pickle/relish juice. I think they should give it to you on the side to prevent it from soaking into the bun before the customer even has a chance to take a bite into it. If it's provided on the side, not only does it help the bun from getting gross, but the customers can control how much of it they like on the hot dog. I'll definitely be coming back to Portillo's if I need a meal within minutes. It's a solid place if you're craving a Chicago-style dog. I think I'd like to dine-in (I've heard their dining space is cool and spacious) next time and try other menu items other than their hot dog. read more

As a native Chicagoan Portillo's is a staple for me. The perfect place for a delicious taste of home! While I love the hot dogs, the cheeseburger is my absolute favorite. Always get the fries with a side of cheese, too! Since we were celebrating a birthday, we also got a slice of the delicious chocolate cake! I absolutely love the kitschy vibe and ample seating. Not to mention, the speed with which the staff make the food is wonderful. I will always stop if I am nearby and can't recommend it enough! Plenty of parking and even on the weekend was not too busy. read more

I think the stars are correct for what most review. It's hard and I think they get the short end of the stick in some ways. The menu is fairly priced, it's is priced such as fast food. The quality is that of fast food. But, inside has beer and wine and a nice place to sit. It's also decorated cute inside, I enjoyed that. It' reminds me of an In N Out. You order in line, and then listen for your number. I think people may rate this as a restaurant, but rating it for fast food, it's higher in stars. The beef was old and not very good, my husband picked it off. I love that they had a garden dog option for those that don't eat meat. Fries are good. It's decent fast food. read more

The Italian beef sandwiches are amazing but...the last three times I have ordered food from here, I have not gotten the food I ordered. I have finally learned my lesson to carefully check my order prior to leaving. On this occasion, the did not include the "gravy" on the side as requested, which is better than missing an order of fries, but still a miss. As I was waiting for my gravy, the other customer at the counter was complaining about missing an entire chili dog, so that made me feel better that it's not just my bad luck! Food is good, attention to detail is poor. Check your order prior to leaving!! read more

As a Chicagoan that moved to MN - I am SO thankful that Portillos made it up here! It's my favorite fast-casual American joint out there. The atmosphere of any Portillos is chaotic, but I find it fun! The decor is always eclectic and hearing the muffled orders over the microphone is comical. My favorite part is when they rhyme you order number anytime they call it. You really can't go wrong with what you order from here, but here are my favorites: - Chopped Salad - delicious sweet/savory house dressing and the mini noodles are my favorite part. - Char-burger - the only I've found in the twin cities, I love the hard grilled taste and it reminds me of home - Hot Dog - if you're looking for a true Chicago hot dog, it's here - Italian Beef - this is the star of the show! If you're a first-timer I highly recommend it with peppers and "dipped" read more
