STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND READ THIS--Portillo's at 7200 W Ray Rd in Chandler Has Just Redefined…read more"Heaven on a Plate" with the BIG BEEF DIPPED and That CHEESE SAUCE... OMG! I've had Italian Beef before. I've loved Italian Beef before. But nothing--NOTHING--prepared me for the transcendent, jaw-dropping, flavor-explosion experience that is ordering the Big Beef DIPPED at this Chandler location. If you haven't done it yet, you haven't lived. And if you've had it elsewhere but haven't had it here with their cheese sauce... well, buckle up, because you're about to discover your new favorite thing on the entire planet. From the second you walk into Portillo's on Ray Road, you can smell the magic--crisp sport peppers, rich au jus, and that unmistakable aroma of slow-roasted beef that makes your stomach growl instantly. But the real moment of truth comes when you look that server in the eye and say: "I'll take the Big Beef, DIPPED, LOADED with cheese sauce. And I mean loaded." Watch their face light up--they know. They understand. This is not just a sandwich; it's a ritual, and this location performs it with reverence. Then it arrives. Oh. My. Goodness. The bread is drenched--and I mean perfectly, gloriously drenched--in that deep, savory au jus, so every inch is saturated with rich, beefy flavor. It's not soggy; it's luscious. It's a sponge for joy. And then... the cheese sauce. Sweet, spicy, velvety, liquid gold--it's like someone took pepper jack, dreams, and a touch of heaven and whipped it into a creamy, molten ribbon that cascades over every millimeter of that dipped bread and tender, shreddy beef. The first bite is not just a meal--it's a religious experience. The crunch of the giardiniera, the pop of a sport pepper, the warm, juicy beef, the cheese sauce pulling in golden strands... it's an OMG moment so intense you might actually forget your own name for a second. You'll hear yourself making sounds you didn't know you could make. You might cry a little (happy tears). You might order a second one before you've even finished the first. And here's the thing--the Chandler location executes this with flawless, almost artistic precision. The line moves fast, the staff is smiling, and they don't skimp. They don't hold back on the beef, they don't drizzle the cheese sauce like it's an afterthought--they PILE IT ON with pride. You can tell this team lives for these moments. They're not just serving food; they're delivering pure, unadulterated happiness. Even the atmosphere feels electric--like everyone in the room knows they're about to have their day made. You'll see strangers nodding at each other in mutual respect over their sandwiches. You'll hear "OMG!" echoed across the dining room (seriously). And when you finish that Big Beef Dipped--cheese sauce glistening on every corner, not a drop of au jus left--you'll sit back with a food coma smile so wide it hurts, already plotting your next visit. Bottom line: If you are within 50 miles of 7200 W Ray Rd, you have no excuse. Go. Right now. Order the Big Beef DIPPED with EXTRA cheese sauce. Thank me later. And maybe bring a napkin--because that cheese sauce is so good, you're going to want to lick every last drop off your fingers. Five stars? Try FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS PLUS A STANDING OVATION! This is the best sandwich I've ever had in my life, and I'm pretty sure it's illegal to be this good.

My last two visits to Portillo's were rough. Thursday I…read moreordered a chopped salad with grilled chicken and no blue cheese. What I got was a chopped salad with blue cheese and no chicken. Grilled chicken is an add-on, which I paid for, so that was frustrating. I got back in line to fix it. The remake came with no chicken and no blue cheese, but I'd already put dressing on the first one and could see where someone had picked the blue cheese out. Still no chicken either time. Today I tried the drive-thru. No one was taking orders at the speaker. After about five minutes I pulled up to the window and waited another five. Nobody came out or acknowledged me, so I left. I get why other Portillo's locations have lines around the block and this one doesn't. It feels mismanaged and like the staff just doesn't care. Shorter, review-site friendly version Two bad visits in a row at this Portillo's. 1. Ordered a chopped salad with grilled chicken, no blue cheese. Got blue cheese, no chicken. The remake had no blue cheese but still no chicken, and you could tell the cheese had been picked out of the original. 2. Drive-thru today: no one at the speaker for 5 minutes. Pulled to the window, waited another 5 minutes. No response, so I left. Other Portillo's are packed for a reason. This location seems mismanaged and understaffed.

The chicken is so flavorful and juicy! Will surely be back here. Thank you for a wonderful service!read more

My star rating is for the chicken...which is what we typically order when here. We then take it…read morehome and I make mashed potatoes and green beans to round out the meal. Love their crispy, juicy chicken. It's truly the only thing we typically get because we are not fans of the spaghetti, their slaw isn't to our liking and we don't do gravy, although it does come with the chicken. Used the drive thru this time around and we had to wait for a few minutes while the chicken finished cooking; asked us to pull up front while we waited. Good fried chicken!

My daughter won a free kids meal at an Easter event with a Raising Cane's booth. This was so cool…read moreand brought us in for the first time. The kids meal included milk, lemonade, juice or a soft drink. The meal would have normally costs $6.99. The adult meal (3 finger combo is $10.39 and if you forgo the drink it's $0.80 less. When comparing the two meals, for $4.60 you're only getting one more chicken piece and a piece of toast. The fries amount looked the same in both the 3 piece finger and kids meal. My kiddos chicken pieces even looked larger, so the difference isn't huge. The chicken flavor was good but the Bare Chicken or Kirkland chicken at Costco is just as good if not very similar taste. The Texas toast was delicious.

The come back is lit!…read more Thanks to Bailey, Danny and Joe, I've had the absolute best experience this round. These guys work extremely well together!!! Bravo!!! I've noticed that when you go into the joint, your food looks more like the advertisement vs going thru the drive thru. My meal had a nice amount of fries, the fingers weren't nuggets this time, and my drink had just enough ice in it. Why couldn't meals be like this allllll of the time?! Our only complaint is that, the toast is soggy and could be toasted longer to pervent soggy ... it's been like this for a while now at this location. Great job guys! These awesome humans deserve 7 Months off with pay and an all expense paid vacation to Jamaica.... they all have a vibe! Let's pray that this location continues to provide meal portions that meet the prices. There's plenty of parking onsite!

We were in the vicinity of Chandler Fashion Center and hungry…read more Good thing there's an In-N-Out nearby. Always quality food with fast and friendly service. A terrific recipe for success to start the New Year. There were two helpful workers out at the end of the drive-thru line. Got our order quickly and even made my wife's day because she was able to get coffee rather than her usual pink lemonade. Boxed for the car and they even gave us extra peppers, too. We love going to this location when we are near the mall. Inside is nice too with all of the traditional In-N-Out artwork and merch available, but a fast trip through the drive-thru is usually how we get our burgers and fries when we are near this store.

Everyone that I have encountered at this location has been friendly. The burgers are decent. After seeing some reel on IG last year, I started ordering them a bit different and it made a huge change. I will never go back to ordering just a cheeseburger. Order this: #2 meal or just a cheeseburger if you don't want the meal +mustard fried +whole grilled onions + whole raw onions +side of chilis - squeeze onto the burger Im not sure why they always ask if you still want pickles when you get it mustard grilled. This time, I tried it without the pickles and I think I prefer it with the pickles. Price has gone up a little but isn't bad compared to other places. I think it was around $10 for a meal. They really need to change up the fries. Burger craving was satisfied though

Okay, I'll admit it. I used to be a little judgy about Culver's. I had never been, and the idea of…read morea "butter burger" honestly freaked me out a little. But recently we met there just for dessert, and I have to say... I was wrong. The frozen custard was so good. Super creamy, rich, and somehow still really affordable. I loved all the mix-in options and the portion sizes were generous without feeling ridiculous. Plus the service was quick, which is always a win when you're just popping in for a sweet treat. I still haven't tackled the butter burger situation yet, but if the custard is any indication, I may have been underestimating Culver's all along. When I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong.

Had a great experience tonight at Culver's! My husband and I went tonight for the first time and it…read morewas so good. I got the Culver's Deluxe with the pretzel bites and he got the mushroom Swiss burger with jalapeño curds. Everything was so yummy and felt so high quality for a fast food place!! We also got malts/shakes, which were delicious too. Shelby at the front was so sweet and helpful! She made sure to get our order in right and it came out very quickly.

Amazing cheesesteaks await you at forefathers!!!…read more After browsing the Yelp app, we found this location, it's off QC road and Alma School. The concept is very customer friendly, you can pick the type of steak, cheese, and any sauces and extras that you want, for me it's grilled onions and mushrooms The bread tasted like it was home made and the sandwich was balanced perfectly. I also like the fact you can order a sandwich that is perfect portion-wise, the regular sandwich fills one up without feeling stuffed. You can order online-- we are definitely looking forward to the next visit!

Great food and great service. We had dinner here last Friday night and were the only ones there…read morewhen we arrived. After we arrived, it got to be pretty busy. We all ordered small size sandwiches and they were a perfect size. The steak was flavorful, well cooked, and they did not skimp on the portions. My dad and sister ordered chicken and it too was flavorful. We did one order of sweet potato fries and one regular and mmm these fries were the bombbb. They were both hot and crispy. The inside was clean.

Came here recently and tried the chicken tacos, asada, and the birria tacos. The large birria tacos…read morewere the standout BY FAR, super delicious and juicy birria tacos with a great cheese pull. There's definitely a reason they're known for their birria. Wasn't the biggest fan of american cheese and lettuce on my asada tacos, but you can always have those left out and sub Monterrey cheese and cilantro onions. Birria ramen looks like a great pick to try next as well!

10/10 - would absolutely recommend! Everything was incredibly flavorful, the service was friendly…read moreand quick, and the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in. We had such a great time enjoying our meal. The #2 Birria Ramen with two birria tacos is a must-try. My son and I both ordered it, and it's easily enough for two meals. Definitely worth the price. My daughter couldn't get over the epic cheese pull from her quesadilla and kept talking about how delicious it was. Do yourself a favor and give Taco Spot a try - you won't be disappointed!

I think I may have found my new favorite chicken sandwich!…read more Having heard great things about Dave's Hot Chicken, today was finally the day that I darkened its doorstep. A rubber chicken sign with its mouth agape greeted me, shining in the sunlight above surrounding storefronts. The restaurant itself had graffitied walls, a refreshing ambience in the common wash of the average establishment. My order was taken by very friendly staff and I was seated. Order then arrived, two delightful sliders both bearing slaw and pickle slices, a side of fries and even more pickle slices. Upon first bite...let's just say the Chick Fil A cow should be ashamed and hide his face forever. Flavor, spice, salt, Dave knows what the hell he's doing! Overall, Dave's was really good! To top all of these positives off, two sliders (which are a very generous portion) and those fries were ~$15, very fair and competitive to other local spots!
