This was such a fun find! We had no idea this was here. We stopped in searching for hot dogs - and we were pleasantly surprised to get just that. The chili dog was spot on. You can also order hot dogs customized to your taste. There were other amazing menu items - will have to come back. Loved the nostalgic pictures and memorabilia throughout the place. read more

Back for the burger again and the construction was much better. The lettuce unfortunately was not crispy or fresh and the new oreo cake looks pretty, but is kind of basic in that category. read more

Portillo's Scottsdale is a great, fast food option. The chopped salad is always a must order, as the little pasta pieces in it really encompass the whole salad. Going through the drive through is always quick and convenient. The beef and fries are always delicious and yummy to order and if you're craving a sweet treat, the cake shake is always a must. If you eat inside, you can expect retro, clean vibes. Portillo's is truly a staple in the Midwest and having a location out west is fun and comforting when a quick, delicious meal is needed and wanted. read more

I have to admit the Chili Dog was average. And in not sure if I like my Beef sandwich with spicy and sweet peppers wet. But it was an experience. One you have to try once in your life! And if you are a White Sox fan it's a must! There's Chicago pix everywhere. The workers were very nice. One told me a story about the Chocolate Cake and an ex-girlfriend. You will have to find out on your own. read more

Food, Service, Chicago tradition and Atmosphere - all good. You get all of this and no snow or cold in Scottsdale.

As native Chicagoans, we've been going to Portillo's for many years. When they moved out here several years ago, we were really happy. Although it's not close to us, we go there a couple times a year. We both love Chicago favorites. Between us, weusually gets the Italian beef dipped or the Chicago dogs. But this time we both had the Italian beef. If I had one quibble, their gardiniera is not very spicy and they charge extra for it. But the quality of the beef and the gravy were still great and their onion rings were above average. read more

We went yesterday at lunchtime and it was less than stellar. We both ordered hot dogs Chicago style with everything. The food execution was poor. They slapped all the ingredients together haphazardly. My jumbo dog was room temp at best. The buns were way over steamed. The tomatos were so unripe they were almost unidentifiable. When I returned the unhot hot dog, the guy at the counter seemed a bit perturbed instead of trying to fix a customer experience. The restroom was dirty and disgusting. The French fries earned the 2nd star. They were the only good bite of the meal. Portillos is supposed to make great dogs. Maybe they need to get back to fundamentals. It's not that hard if your people care about what they do. I saw no evidence that anyone cared. read more

Five stars every single time. Portillo's is one of my favorite spots to grab a bite. Sure, it can be a bit pricey depending on what you get, but it's so worth it. I definitely recommend their bacon cheeseburger, but if your wallet allows for it, stepping up to the double bacon cheeseburger is totally the way to go. The staff inside is great, and they've gotten my order right nearly every single time. Definitely a go to spot read more

This being my first visit to Portillo's, my son has been boasting about it to me . We went together last night, had the Polish and the Chicago dogs as well as the chocolate cake shake. My Lord, I've been missing out. Service was friendly and accommodating, the ambience is very cool inside.. But the food is incredible. Love everything and will be back. read more

After hearing about Portillo's, you know, the favorite Chicago restaurant where they put a whole piece of chocolate cake in their shakes, I was so excited to see one in Scottsdale! We planned ahead aka skipped lunch to go check this place out. The comedian "fluffy" also tells a story of this shake and we watched it to prepare for the experience. We ordered contactless inside but they had a drive through. We started with the shakes only just in case we got too full for food (which we did). But the shake itself was incredible if you love chocolate cake. It reminded me of having cake and ice cream at a birthday! The frosting was very present. The reason I'm not giving it 5 stars was the selection. They had a lemon cake and a lemon strawberry cake as options. I was hoping for a non-citrus fruit flavor. We didn't really interact with the staff so I can't rate that, but the ambiance was really cool! Not sure if I'd ever go back, but happy to have had the chance to finally try this shake. I got through about 1/3 of it when I had to throw in the towel. It was just tooooo much. read more

Used to love Portillo's, but it's just not what it used to be. Not just at this location, but across the board. If you've never been here before, it's a super cute chain that specializes in beef dip sandwiches. Service here in Mesa was pretty bad- our cashier was friendly/borderline rude. But that's not what made this trip our last- it was the food... The sandwich just didn't have much flavor... The fries were kinda soggy... The chicken salad was small, expensive, and boring... Sad to say, but won't be back. read more

I got this big beef sandwich and it was pretty skimpy for the biggest sandwich they have on the menu. BUT I did ask this gentleman in a black shirt if this was how it was supposed to be. At first he said "yeah that's the big beef." I asked if it looked good and he said it could have a little more beef and he got me a side of beef. The gentleman working took care of it. Although this is not how much beef should be in a big beef sandwich and the cheese for the cheese fries is never filled past half a cup. Everything tasted great. This is the better Portillo imo of the couple around phoenix area, but they got to do better on proportions. Guy working 10/10 read more

Portillo's Scottsdale - Big beef? - Hot Dogs Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Oh please. What hasn't already been said about this location. I've always had a solid meal at any of the locations throughout the country whether it's a hotdog, beef sandwich, burger, or even a salad. I think they're tops in their industry as far as fries are concerned. I think the prices are reasonable. Overall service is friendly and the location is super clean. The manager came over to say hi and wish us a happy birthday. We always love to enjoy a piece of chocolate cake as well. Plenty of parking out front and drive-through. read more

If you don't mind crowds, this Portillo's is constantly busy during the lunch hour. We met friends visiting the area for a bite. During the busy hour, it pays to find a table before ordering. We ordered the plant based dog with fries, 2 chopped salads with fries and a chicken salad and beverages. You order and pay at one end. Pick up your food at the marked area. You will find your order number on the receipt. Service is fairly quick although salads come up much faster than a dog. Salads are good sized. I cannot finish it in one sitting. The dog comes with a big pickle.pepperoncini, tomato, onion and relish. All were tasty and moderately priced. There is a drive through as well. Join their app club for a free almost famous chocolate cake on your birthday. Parking right outside. read more

Delicious as all the Chicago locations. The interior is a little loud, both music and conversation wise. This time we are outside and it was much nicer. I love pretty much everything, but got my regular order of an Italian beef with cheese and extra cheese. Sweet and spicy peppers lightly wet is the way to go! Staff are friendly and quick to order. The wait isn't too long even on the busiest day. read more

Portillo's Scottsdale - Hot Dogs Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

I love the ambiance here and all the nostalgic decor. The jumbo dogs are "on point!" They are SO DELICIOUS it is difficult to deviate and enjoy other offerings on the menu. I have tried the Italian Beef Sandwich which is also good. I especially like it with the optional sweet peppers added. Their hamburgers are pretty good, too. The employees at the register are often short and they are not especially friendly. This is a shame. Also, I do not like the fact that the fan has been broken for a considerable amount of time that they have outside near the drive thru menu. This is intended to keep the employee standing outside taking orders in the AZ heat cooler. Now that temperatures are in excess of 100 degrees, daily, and we are going into our summer, this must be fixed immediately. Anything less is a disservice to your valued employees. read more

My wife and I stopped at Portillo's Taste of Chicago, dedicated to bringing Chicago-Style hot dogs, Italian beef, and burgers to the Valley. They have a fun '50s diner-meets-Hard Rock Cafe atmosphere. The staff is friendly and eager to serve. We tried one of their Famous Five: their Chicago-style Italian beef and a large order of onion rings. Everything was great. I'll take a good Italian beef sandwich over a cheesesteak any day, and theirs is beefy and juicy--it's so good. They also serve beer and wine and are perfect for groups with ample seating and multiple locations. read more

8/13/2026 Portillo's Scottsdale. Ordered a beef with sweet and hot peppers, dipped. Sandwich received was minus hot peppers. That's ok, but what really struck me was that the beef appeared smaller and with less meat than I have been accustomed. First, inflation. Now shrinkflation? Kind of like Subway, short changing folks on the footlong (remember?). read more

Just had a really unpleasant visit. Had a BOGO coupon that just expired and went thru the drive thru, the girl said she would honor it but couldn't do it from her tablet to go up to the 2nd window and "they will take care of it". We drive up to the window and the girl says no we can't honor it. We said the girl earlier said she would, OK Portillo's, train your employees, there was no smile, no apology. All we got was "she doesn't have the authority to say we allow it" wow, extremely poor service, I can see why there was only one other car in the drive thru on a weekend at 5:00, Do Better with your customers read more

My father and I get together for lunch every weekend. One of the regular places we frequent is Portillo's of Scottsdale. It's a taste of Chicago hot dogs, and it's tasty, typically fast service, and a nice ambiance. The staff are always helpful, and they have a fun diner-theme to their announcements. They also say fun rhymes with their order numbers like "Order 102, we've got you" or "Order 107, welcome to heaven." Each time we order, we typically will get 2 or 3 charred jumbo dogs to share with a large fries and large onion rings. That's plenty for the two of us. Recently, there was an issue with the order. I think they dropped one of our dogs on the ground. They gave us a piece of chocolate cake to make it up to us (which honestly was just an apology for the meal arriving a few minutes late). I typically find all the food tastes delicious though every now and then when I come, there's at least one thing I need to have fixed. One issue (on my end) is that the first time I ordered, I didn't know the difference between a Jumbo Dog and a Hot Dog. Now, I know the Jumbo Dog is larger and a bit more expensive. But they're both great! I have also found that Portillo's offers coupons regularly. For instance, ASU students receive coupon booklets that include buy one dog, fries, & drink and get a dog free OR a free large fries with any purchase. There is also a text club that you can sign up on their website (https://www.portillos.com). Also on their website, you can sign up for the Birthday Club to receive a piece of chocolate cake around your birthday. There is also a survey on every receipt where you can earn a free large fries for completing the survey. You can use the app to order and the free large fries coupon (via the survey) doesn't expire and can be used with no purchase necessary. Note that the birthday cake does expire. The location is great and easy to access with a drive-through line and plenty of parking to eat inside. I certainly recommend that anyone go to Portillo's for some good Chicago-style hot dogs. read more

One of my new favorites things at Portillos. Their chopped salad with their Italian beef on top. You have to order it at the counter as the touch screen option won't let you customize the salad in this way. It's delicious and the salad comes really loaded too read more

If you're wandering through Scottsdale and suddenly feel the urge to eat like a happy Midwesterner who just won a free parking spot, Portillo's is your place. Order at the counter and take your seat, waiting for your number to be called. Just like hunger games bingo. The dining room? Spotless and straightforward. It's the kind of clean, no‑nonsense space that says, "We're not here to impress you with mood lighting--we're here to feed you and send you on your way before you start thinking too hard." It's refreshingly honest, like a cafeteria that went to community college and got its life together. Let's start with the burger, because frankly it demands top billing. It's excellent--so good it could probably negotiate peace treaties if we let it. Add the grilled onions (which are also excellent) and you've basically created a small masterpiece of beef-based joy. The hot dog? Classic, snappy, and proudly Chicago. It tastes like it should come with a lecture about why ketchup is a crime. Fries are solid--dependable, like that friend who always shows up five minutes early. The onion rings are... fine. They're breaded, not battered, which is acceptable but not exactly my dream scenario. Think of them as the coworker you don't mind seeing at the office but wouldn't invite to your birthday dinner. The fish sandwich is okay--nothing wrong with it, nothing to write home about, unless your family is extremely passionate about fish sandwiches. But the value? Genuinely great. You walk out full, happy, and not wondering why you just spent half your paycheck on lunch. In short: go for the burger and grilled onions, stay for the hot dog, tolerate the onion rings, and enjoy the fact that your wallet survives the experience. And next time? I'm absolutely diving into the shakes. They look like the kind of dessert that could either change your life or at least improve your afternoon, and I'm willing to take that risk. read more

First time here and ordered the cheeseburger meal. The fries were perfectly cooked and salted, so impressed every single fry was soo good and crispy. I got excited for the burger but was hugely disappointed. The size and thickness of the burger was really good, but the taste was very bland, like no seasoning whatsoever. It reminded of cafeteria burgers, which is a shame bc it's almost $15 for the meal. I'll have to try their signature hot dog when it's not sold out but would not recommend the burger for the price. Culvers and Freddys taste way better and cheaper. read more

I will never eat here again! They served a squished chili cheese hot dog that was a total mess and the manager was not the slightest bit concerned! He was flippant uninterested and walked away never once looking me in the eye! Total jerk! read more

We got takeout last night. While the food was good, we were disappointed with a few things. My son ordered a bacon cheeseburger and got no bacon. We also ordered 5 ranches and got none, which we paid for along with the bacon. Frustrating for sure. Hopefully moving forward, the orders are checked better for accuracy. read more

Grabbed some food today there at 10:30am 5/3/26. Drive back 25 mins to my house and they forgot my fries $8 for 2 large fries. Been there multiple times no issues but today.

Because the dude who handed me my order repeated my order back and trusted them but for now on I'll make sure to tripple check my bag TRASHHHHHHH!!!! read more

Portillo's is a nice family restaurant that I wish there was more of, especially in the Bay Area, which is where I'm from. There is plenty of seating. The vibe is relaxed, filled with an older crowd. I can see families coming here after sporting events or family gatherings. They pump mostly music from 70s over the PA. There's a kiosk where you order food. There's also a cashier area, where you can order if you prefer to pay with cash. There's plenty on the menu. My wife and I split a sausage sandwich. It was really good. I loved their fries. It's the old fashioned crinkled kind. Those are the best. The pricing is reasonable. Next time I'm in town...I'm definitely dropping by. read more

I don't eat meat and always wanted to try hot dogs. Came across this place where they do a vegetarian version of hot dog. I was super excited to try their garden dog and went with everything and some grilled onions. Also, ordered their chicken tenders with some fries. The service is rather very slow for a drive through, we had to wait quite a bit for our order to arrive. Luckily, they have two windows for the order pickup. The garden dog is really good and I thoroughly enjoyed the flavor and the hot dog itself. Chicken tenders were so big and chunky, it was alright and felt not so great eating a large piece of chicken like that. The price is average, I would definitely come back for the garden dog read more

It's a chain but has good food. I've been to a few. This one was ok. I got the big Italian beef. The bun was closed. There wasn't enough need to keep it open. Disappointed. Onion rings were good and hot. Chili cheese hotdog went fast. For the price I should not have seen so much bun. At other locations you don't. read more

Vegan review (I know... but it was to meet a friend). First - thank you Portillo's for offering a totally vegan hot dog -- the Plant-based Garden Dog. I have never had a "Chicago-style" dog, so having lunch with a die-hard Portillo's fan gave me a chance to try it. Plus, the crinkle-cut fries are vegan! I was dully worried when I ordered the vegan dog and the counter person asked if it would be the only one in the order. That's a big flashing red light for vegans, "Oh no, they need to pull it out of the freezer." I do not think I was wrong. Our order took so very long to come out. At least 10 orders after ours came out before ours. Probably more. I get it, I do. It is NOT a place for vegans. But still... The hot dog itself seemed like it was cooked a bit too long (or maybe freezer burn)? But, it was just fine with all the lovely toppings and hit the spot. I was so hungry by the time I got it I forgot to take a picture of it unwrapped! I wouldn't go out of my way to visit Portillo's again, but it is nice to know that if I am ever out and about, and in the mood for a Chicago dog, I know where I can find one. Oh, and the fries were worth going for alone! The restaurant is very cute! I love all the signage and fun atmosphere. I could tell the service was quick for everyone else... They get four stars for at least trying. And for the fries. read more

This review applies only to their cheeseburger meal. The beef patty was very good nicely charred, plus the fries were super tasty. Other than that the meal was at par with McDonalds Deluxe quarter pounder w/cheese. I was disappointed because their Italian sandwich is so very good! I guess I was waiting to be wowed, but I wasn't. Stick to the Italian sandwich. read more

I'm from Chicago so I knew I'd like the food. I get the exact same thing every time, a big beef double dipped with hot peppers and mozzarella cheese, with a large fry.
