It's been a lotta years since a I last had a Chicago beef sandwich, so when I spotted this Portillo's driving around during a visit to the Roseville area, I felt like it was calling my name. Expansion locations of beloved local street food (or street food adjacent) establishments almost never quite capture the full glory of the original. I'm sure this place doesn't either, though it's been forever since I've been to the OG location. But, the food was very good, and the beef sandwich was at least close enough to the original to strongly conjure those memories. I snuck a bite of my three year old's plain hotdog and the flavor and quality were solid. The food is also a good value. I got take outs, so I didn't get the full service experience but their take out service was as good as it gets. They were proactive in serving me, made sure my order was right and that I was happy with it; that I had everything I needed in the bag, etc., and were friendly while they were at it. And the vibe is distinctly Chicago, not just on the surface level where they have a lot of Chicago themed decor (which is nice but any corporate operation can mass produce that) but also on the level of the wood, the lighting, the layout, and even the personality of the service, etc., which all felt plausibly Chicago. If you're in the area and looking for beef sandwiches and/or hot dogs, this is your spot. read more

For the second time in two weeks, the HVAC system was down - I'm guessing it was never fixed. Sadly the fun vibes were wilted by the near 100 degrees temps outside which were readily transferred indoors. Food was predictably very good. The side salad was immense & fresh. The beef Sammie's were yummy! Hope they can find a solution to the a/c system. read more

Great food, fun atmosphere...easy to get to and low prices. The employees were very prompt and courteous read more

Best chili dog and onion rings around!! While Portillo's is in the fast food category, it's better than that. They have such a great menu, offer a fun, unique dining experience as the decor is so cool and everything is yummy!! Their catering options are awesome too. Try the chocolate cake (lemon cake in the summer)! read more

We stopped in for dinner before attending a movie at the nearby AMC theater. I got the chopped salad. I am so surprised that I'd love a salad here, but I do. It's chock full of tasty ingredients: chicken, bacon, blue cheese, pasta, tomatoes, and more. (Note: the bread that came with the salad was hard and didn't come with any butter; I'd have like to eat it but threw it away because of this). The salad is a meal in itself, but I couldn't come here without getting a Chicago dog as well; it's a classic. My partner got the Beef and Cheese Croissant and a beer, and liked both of them. One thing that detracted from our dining experience was a patron that was upset about something and screamed loudly at staff at the pickup area. Oh my, with all the concrete in the building, that sound CARRIED, and it was intense. She went on and on, too, so it really was unpleasant to experience. read more

What a fun evening! The Yelp Elite event at Portillo's in Roseville was such a great experience from start to finish. The staff was incredibly welcoming and organized, and everything ran smoothly. The food was delicious! I loved getting to build a Chicago-style hot dog, and the chicken tenders, fries, onion rings, and dipping sauces were all fresh and flavorful. The chopped salad was a nice addition, and the cake was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. It was also a wonderful opportunity to meet people in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. The team did a fantastic job creating an enjoyable event that made everyone feel appreciated. Thank you to Portillo's and Yelp for such a memorable evening. I'll definitely be back! read more

I'm a Portillo's fan! We've come here a handful of times over the past year, and I think what puts them a step ahead of other similar spots is their service. I am a Portillo's rewards member, so pretty often, I get a coupon for a cheese sauce with a fry order or BOGO sandwich or similar. The staff is always so friendly and helpful getting the put in. I've even been there when they are bringing around free samples for folks to try new things. That's just a level of service you won't find at other fast casual chain spots that sets them apart. What I LOVE here: - Hot italian beef of course (sometimes I get as a bowl) with the hot and sweet peppers both - Cheese sauce - fries are simply a vehicle for this perfection - Shakes - cake shake is classic, but I love their others too like the peppermint seasonal one - Of course, can't go wrong with a Chicago dog. To me, the ambiance here is great too. We always end up eating in since the hot italian beef can get messy, and for this type of place, they've put a ton of effort into the decor and ambiance. It feels like you're in Chicago with history all over the walls. BTW - don't sleep on their burger, it's so good! read more

I love the Chicago dog and the roast beef and cheddar croissant. I always order extra gravy to dip it in. I also usually get fries and a cup of cheese sauce. It's great for dipping the fries in or adding a bit to my hot dog. Everyone I've gone there with has enjoyed their beef and/or sausage sandwiches. My only complaint is their locations. They only have three, north metro, east, and west metro. They really need one in the south metro as well. read more

I tend to stop in to this Portillo's when I'm working in the area since it's closeby a few offices I visit regularly. I always use the drive-thru here and am taken care of quickly with such friendly service. I know this is a place known for beef, but I love the spicy chicken salad. You can get it in the combo too, if you ask for the spicy instead of regular, with no extra charge. If you stop by in the springtime, the lemon cake shake is also to die for. read more

The last time we visited the food was better. Don't miss the fries. My cheesesteak was okay but only a little cheese on the top and a lot came off with the wrapper. Not as good as last time. The chili dog was okay. The onion rings were very plain without any seasoning. How come the staff always look bored? Also, the tables were not wiped off. The place was almost empty and we had to hunt for a clean table. read more

Friendly staff and busy restaurant. However was really disappointed in the upkeep. Trash cans overflowing, trash on tables and unclean. Napkins out and sections closed with people looking to find a place to sit. Honestly I really can't eat much here being celiac but was happy to hangout with my friends. I had a soda and some fries and they were good. read more

I really enjoy this Portillo's location. Every time I have visited, the food has been good and the service has been solid. The inside has that classic Chicago gangster theme that Portillo's is known for, which I think adds a lot of charm. This location does not seem very busy though, and I have barely ever seen the upstairs seating open, which is a bit of a bummer. It can also feel a little eerie when there are not many people inside. I usually go for the Italian beef sandwich and it never disappoints. I would skip the burgers since they taste a bit plain to me. I also recommend trying the birthday cake slice, it is really good. read more

The parking here was a breeze. Even during peek hours. There is overflow parking in the mall lots. I ordered Chicago dog with root beer. The food arrived fast. I really liked the vintage decor and picnic style ambiance. read more

We went for dinner. I thought I would try a dbl cheeseburger with bacon this time Also had the large fries with the cheese sauce on the side. As always the food was pretty good I thought the burger was a little greasy and to me the fries could have had a little more salt. This why it only gets 3 stars from ne today read more

We recently visited Portillo's and tried a mix of items: onion rings, fries, chicken sandwich, and the classic Chicago hot dog. The standout? Definitely the onion rings--crispy, golden, and full of flavor. The rest of the meal was solid, but nothing particularly memorable. We also grabbed a slice of chocolate and lemon cake to go, and honestly, dessert stole the show. Both cakes were light, moist, and packed with flavor. If I return, it'll be for the sweets. Portillo's knows how to end a meal right. read more

Absolutely love Portillos and this location was great. I got the Italian beef sandwiches and it was delicious. I got it dunked and with hot peppers which is definitely the way to go to get all the umami flavor with some spice. The staff is very nice and helpful, they missed my order so it took longer than expected but their customer service was great in response. The ambiance is always fun inside and I love the vintage signs and decor. read more

Great food great atmosphere, fairly cheep and convenient. The standard dog is my personal fav!

It was ok tonight. I ordered the beef and cheddar on croissant. It seemed like a regular bun. The fries we got were nice and hot and the cheese sauce was good. My husband liked his burger he got. read more

So I didn't have a great experience. I wanted to go to mi sant but we went here instead. I was fine with this but then I ordered the Chicago Dogs. Mmmmmm not good. The weird overly green relish is not it. It was also lacking some balance. Very acidic. This American classic place is not my fave. Never feel amazing after eating here. read more

Hmm... I'm confused. On my visit to the Woodbury location, the Chicago dog and my beef (dipped w/sweet and hot peppers) was cold and inedible, however I tried the Roseville location and was pleasantly surprised! They met and exceeded my expectations. I felt transported back to their original Chicago location where I used to get this very same order and was never disappointed. Hopefully the Woodbury location was just having an off day. Hmm..... read more

Food is amazing as always! My only complaint was the cleanliness of the restaurant. Not sure if they clean at the end of the day or when it's slow, but the bathroom was pretty messy as well as some booths and tables. We came around 4 pm, so not too busy but it did take us 5-10 min to order since the people in front of us took a whole. There is upstairs and downstairs seating. Employees were all friendly. read more

Pretty fun atmosphere. Music isn't to loud and lighting is dim and comfortable. Lots of stuff on the walls and ceilings to look at. When you first walk in, you see the pick up orders. You walk down to order. Staff didn't seem to really want to be there and not super friendly, just takes your orders and they talk amongst themselves. Food was pretty good. Double bacon cheese burger decent portion but very filling. Fries were bland but you can add salt an pepper. Shake was sweet. Recommend! read more

Portillo's has a great vibe. The American spirit with the signage and music is perfect. They have perfect Chicago options for food. I got a chili dog and Chicago dog meal that came with fries and a drink. I didn't love the dogs and would go for a cheese stake or burger next time. Portillo's is a good option for fast food but not my favorite. read more

They are kind, patient and friendly, and the restaurant is huge with lots of seating options. It's comfortable and quiet. The food is good and leaves me feeling fine. read more

This is my second time to Portillo's and my first time to the Roseville location. Place is huge and spacious. Different areas for ordering and pickup. Lots of staff around, but honestly, not really available to help or say hello. It look at least 30 minutes for me to get signed up for the rewards program and to apply my free French fry for joining. Crazy how much of a process that was. Visited for a late night Friday dinner. Ordered Chicago dog, onion rings, and French fries. Food was fine. I wish the Chicago dog was much warmer. Onion rings were my favorite side. I could have passed on the French fries. I noticed the chocolate cake slice and knew I had to try that. It was good and if I'm in the mood for a slice of chocolate cake and I'm near a Portillo's I'd stop to get a slice. My friend tried the lemon cake and enjoyed that. I will mention in the restaurant they show slices of chocolate cake that are huge. However, my chocolate cake slice was maybe half the size of the ones displayed in the restaurant and on the app. read more

Had the Chicago dogs and they were great and the fries were ok nothing special, then I tried them while traveling beef sandwich and nothing great but was ok. I tried them while traveling chocolate cake shake because I hear locals raving about it and wasn't impressed at all very gritty and I threw it away read more

Right when we stepped into the restaurant, we noticed the floors were so sticky. We ordered the new spicy chicken sandwich, Chicago dog and the Polish dog. The Polish dog was pretty burnt and somehow tasted dry? There was no snap to both the Chicago hot and the Polish dog. The chicken on the spicy chicken sandwich was so dry that I considered not eating the rest of the sandwich. Quite disappointed that I requested the spicy sauce on the side and had to go back to ask for it. Likely will not want to come back. We overheard a lot of the restaurant staff yelling at each other in the back too, which was unprofessional. read more

Possiblythe worst Italian Beef in have ever had. The beef was dry and tasteless. Not juicy at all. But for a bonus I got some cold fries. What a great deal at just over $ 20. I have eaten at other Portillos. This one doesn't live up to the name. read more

We were excited to find Portillo's in Minnesota since it's original chain is out of Chicago! My Husband and I tried the big Italian beef, the polish and their chocolate cake shake. The big Italian tasted like it was devoid of flavor. It had all of the components of the Italian beef but lacked the juiciness. My polish dog was quite disappointing. It didn't have any flavor and the polish seem a bit overdone or just sitting under a warmer for too long that it dried out and became rubbery. The chocolate cake shake was amazing and probably the only reason why we would return. Service is fairly quick and the ambiance was nice and I loved the details around the restaurant. read more

Love me some portillo's. However. 30 minutes from order to pickup is TOO LONG. Better to order in the drive thru, park, and walk in to eat. The whole time, our soda sat there getting watered down. Crazy. We were with a couple where someone else took their order and they had to wait MORE than 30 minutes for the recite. Why? They were out of hot dogs for awhile.... At POTTELLO's.... Out of hot dogs. #Arg Can you just send us the do-it-yourself kit and we can make 'em ourselves. On time. With all the ingredients. read more

Portillo's Roseville - More than 30 minutes for two chicago dogs. arrived cold. With cold fries. Do you see punch pizza across the parking lot? A better choice. - Salad Near Me - Roseville, Minnesota

Used their drive thru charges for every small things ,and they have forgotten my fries

I placed a to go order this afternoon, when I arrived I proceeded to the unmanned Catering counter. Immediately a fellow @ the food counter asked what I needed? A young man standing next to him immediately came through the door and handed me my bag from their to go shelf.... seamless service. I appreciate the prompt service. read more

Legit the best hotdog I've ever had! I always drive by Portillo's on my way to the mall so I finally decided to order from there when my family and I were hungry. I got the hot dog combo with fries and a drink. I didn't know what to expect but one bite and I gasped. The pickle, the relish, the celery salt, the hotdog itself wrapped in an everything bagel seasoned bun- it was utter perfection. My daughter's fries were crispy and not greasy. I'll definitely be back again when I'm in town! read more

Food was terrible. Hot dog was soggy and Italian beef was nothing but meat and soggy bread. Service was terrible. Worker was throwing around pans and didn't speak to me when I asked for salad dressing that they forgot. I've had good Portillo's and this was so bad. read more

Standardized but dang tasty. I wish the food had a touch more made at home kind of feel I just get "frozen patty" and "bulk bought dogs" feel when I go there. Doesn't anyone shape their own burger or stuff their own dogs anymore ?!?! Good food. Wouldn't turn it away. read more

A complete waste of $33.09. It was almost as if, the menu and flavor profile was concocted by your old lunch lady and the Activities Director from a nursing home. No spices. No taste. Even the onion on the burger was bland and tasteless. I ordered the cheeseburger meal and my son ordered the 2 hotdog meal. Nothing about our food was hot, not even warm enough to melt cheese. The fries weren't horrible when they were luke warm, but they quickly got cold and then they were disgusting. The onion rings were the best thing about the food. And considering, the up-charge is almost $5.00, they should be. One staff member walked around and greeted people. He had wide smile and warm personality. Everyone else was not particularly friendly, and they weren't rude either - just disinterested. Never again. And certainly not at that price point. read more

Quick service, and good tasting. All you can ask for, and you can't tell a difference between this location and the OG Chicago location. It tastes the exact same. Great spot for an authentic Chicago style dog, fries, and a cake shake! read more

Portillo's Roseville - #Famous Meal #2 Two Hot Dogs - Salad Near Me - Roseville, Minnesota

Just got home from dinner at Portillo's. Won't be back, it was like a carnival, first there is not much direction where to order then once we did we waited 25 minutes for our food to come up down the hallway. While we waited we watched people walking in the door and wondering where to go just like us. I also ordered a slice of their new lemon cake, he said it would likely be a 20 minute wait, I said that was fine as we were eating dinner there also. After 30 minutes went up and asked about the cake but was told there was none ready, I asked if I changed it to chocolate if that would speed things up and was told yes, so I wait 15 more minutes, no cake. Go back up to register to get a refund. Then am told the baker did not show up and the cakes were all still cold. I am assuming froze? Very unorganized. Nobody cares. read more

Good, but not spectacular. Ordered chili cheese dog. The cashier tried to charge my $.89 for a side of cheese. When I inquired why, he said "for the cheese". I again inquired why since it's a chili cheese dog should already include cheese (given it's name/description). He tried to give me the same answer, and although it was only $.89 on principle alone.... I wasn't having it so I told him to remove the charge. That said, guess what? My chili cheese dog (not) surprisingly came with cheese on it Anyway, enough about that. Again the food is good, but not spectacular. Found that one order of medium fries was enough for two. It's very spacious inside and on the day (Wednesday) we went upstairs was completely empty. So if you're looking to dine with some distance, head up there. read more
