The food definitely stands out in terms of quality. It is most comparable to places like Canes , with the chicken/fries/toast combo. However they excel in comparison with their dirty sodas and other food offerings. The fries, cheese curds and Texas toast are all delicious snack options. Everything comes out hot and cooked to order. The portions are a good size and it all tastes fresh. The dirty sodas were a fun thing to try out. During my visits, I tried the "Toasty Marshmallow" (Mr Pibb) and the "Float On" (Barqs) . Both are sweet combinations and are fun treats. There's a lot here that makes them stand out from most fast-casual places and overall provide a quality dining experience.

In a category that I feel is saturated with lots of restaurants, and becoming increasingly…read moresaturated -- Minnie Bird stands out for me both in terms of choice and quality. Shops that offer chicken tenders, chicken sandwiches, fries, and similar options have become very commonplace in this area of the Chicago suburbs. Even without considering the quality of food, there's a few features that make this a hit for me. The dining room is fun, yet appropriate. The value here is great both in terms of quantity of food, and overall pricing. The ice cream that changes monthly provides a fun way to customize a periodic visit. While I'm not crazy about the texture and flavor of it, it's still an enjoyable dessert -- particularly on a warm day. The sides such as fried cheese curds and spicy fries are different. The dirty soda options also provide a ton of possibilities for social media posts and different flavor options on each visit. Service is not too slow for how busy the restaurant is, and parking isn't too difficult. The food is very good here, both in terms of flavor and texture -- and generously portioned as well. The tenders rival the best versions I've had from other dedicated chicken restaurants. Crispy with tender chicken that stands well on its own without sauces, but at the same time has a heightened experience with the quality sauces, which each have a distinct flavor profile. I also enjoyed the cole slaw and texas toast considerably, and especially the fries which were crisp and matched very well with the sauces. The same level of food quality is also present in their sandwiches and wraps, which mix the same quality components together for a delicious product.

This isn't my first rodeo @ Johnnies Beef & it certainly will not be my last because when you find an outstanding beef it's definitely worth going back to over & over again & at time treat an out of town guest to one of the best Chicago has to offer.

The staff were friendly and responsive. Even though they forgot my fries and almost charged me again. Good thing I busted out my receipt. Tho they prolly would have refunded me if I were double charged. But on to the food review. We got 8 sandwiches I think and 10 Italian ice, 5 lemonade and 5 watermelon. Most of the beef sandos were double dipped. All of them had extra spicy and sweet pickles. Though the pickles were extra charge yet each sandwich came out to be less than $9. Overall it was pretty tasty and I thought the value was pretty good. Granted a hole in the wall ought to be cheaper yet I still felt there was great value here. Now can I make this at home? I suppose. But I prolly wouldn't and prolly would rather come here and just give 'em my money! The Italian ice and beef sandos were a good combo. There were 12 of us and 8 sandos, 10 Italian ice, fries and one large Diet Coke came to about $103. Granted we split the sandos yet it was still a pretty good value and yummy late night junk food hangout spot. Is it better than that other places that serves Chicago dogs? I think so. But you'll just have to come and try it for yourself.

The staff was friendly--the owner was even out and about talking to customers! The food, which is cooked in beef tallow, was delicious. The fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Extremely hungry boyfriend ordered a 2nd burger (We split the 1st one!) and that one's patty was not as crispy and it was loaded with too many onions.

I love going to Portillos for their burgers. That's right, not only do they do a great Chicago dog and Beef, they have fantastic burgers. Normally their burgers are more rounded but this one seemed to be a bit smashed. I enjoyed every bite of my hamburger with everything on it. You could get the $9.99 burger meal deal, but I upgraded to a large onion ring instead of fries, and it didn't disappoint. We also tried their giardiniera dip. This was a surprise because it's a new side sauce that Portillos is offering. It's also a first. I've never seen a giardiniera dip/sauce. It was served cold, which was a little off, we expected it to be warmer. Overall, you can get a great meal to go or seated inside. This particular location is always busy and is always on point with their great service.

The meat in the burger is very good. Their fries are crips and tasty. And they have a good selection of fountain drinks, with my favorite being their root beer. While I'm pleased they offer a gluten-free bun, the quality of the bun isn't as good as I've experienced elsewhere. When it gets wet from the burger juices, the bun falls apart leaving a mess. I'd really suggest they try a different brand or make their own. Aside from that minor issue, Culver's is definitely one of the best fast food places in our area.

I honestly do not understand the hoopla for the place as all they offer is chicken tenders, even the sandwich is chicken tenders on bread. Also the lack of dipping sauces turns me off big time. I mean I dont like Cane Sauce (call me crazy), but is it too much to ask for BBQ, Buffalo, Hot Sauce, or even Ranch for my chicken. Now if we do decided we want chicken tenders (as its the only reason to go there), we go through the drive thru and bring it home where we can eat it with the dipping sauces of our choice. Just a big PITA for chicken strips. I will say service is pretty good and the place has a decent vibe to it and the it is pretty clean on the inside.
