The Sauces
Joe S.

Holy crap! Who knew a Zaxby's could be so nice? This one in "Winter Park" (not really, but Ok) really blew my yellow "cardinal health" socks off. Maybe it's because I was eating hospital food for 2 days, but they delivered delicious food, quickly, and in a pleasant environment. What more could you want in a counter-service restaurant. There's something AMAZING that happened while dining. I've been eating fast food (or fast casual) for a long time, and in general, food. I bit into one of the chicken fingers and it squirted a spray of chicken juice onto the floor. Luckily, I was turned sideways for some reason or Mrs. S would have gotten the brunt of that. Needless to say, that was one moist finger. I don't know how I can say more about the chicken being juicy! Yum!

Avocado Ranch Chicken Tacos

Picture doesn't do it justice. Very fresh and flavorful. Chicken is plump and juicy. Very busy location but food was made rather quickly. Cool decor and ambiance . Booths are a little tight and tables are wobbly.

Chicken sandwich is small (fries cold)
Mark S.

Floor in entire restaurant sticky - like they mopped it with sprite. Chicken sandwich was extremely juicy, but also very small, so Popeyes still wears the crown. Most disappointing: fries were actually COLD (for an eat- in order!). This place needs some work. Should do "mystery shopping" to find service issues and fix them.

I decided to check out Portillo's and ordered the chicken sandwich combo with fries and a drink…read more Overall, the food was really good. The sandwich was fresh and flavorful, and the fries came out hot, which made it even better it definitely felt like everything was made to order. The inside has a really cute, old-school diner vibe that adds to the experience. It's a fun atmosphere and makes the visit feel a little different from your typical fast-casual spot. The service was also a highlight the young lady who took our order was friendly, welcoming, and took the time to explain menu options, which I appreciated. My only downside is the pricing. The items felt a bit on the higher side for what you get, so that's something to keep in mind if you plan to visit. Would I come back? Maybe but overall, it was still a great experience.

**INITIAL REVIEW**…read more First and foremost, this review is a collective of both my visit during the Yelp Week at four different Portillo's locations, mine being at Waterford Lakes, and my initial visit as a regular customer afterwards. Ergo, I will utilize the details for the Yelp Week that easily transfer to a regular visit, plus anything new I got through my second visit. For starters, this Portillo's is in a fantastic spot. If you haven't been to Waterford Lakes, it is a beautiful outdoor stripmall with many stores that are actually worth your time going into, not just store after store of clothing... though they do have some good options like Ross and Kohl's (latter is a "I believe it is there," but I know Ross is there). Upon coming up to Portillo's, you can tell it is that brand new genre of restaurant that is in-between fast food and fast casual. I don't even think it has a name yet. But if you've eaten at the new design for Chick-fil-a or at a Raising Cane's, you know it. Inside, Portillo's really leans on its Chicago roots with 1960s to 1970s silver trailer restaurant vibes, modernly updated. Imagine how those dive diners in the 60s and 70s were but with more technology, neon, and self-service commodities. For me, I have plenty of food here. Portillo's is known for their hot dogs so I had their jumbo chili cheese dog and Char-Grilled Maxwell Street Polish Sausage. I also got their breaded whitefish sandwich, beef and cheddar croissant, and cup of chili on its own. I will say the food, across the board, were all good. I thoroughly enjoyed the breaded whitefish sandwich as they actually make it thoroughly well. There are many places that do fried fish sandwiches in which the fish has been sitting in the freezer for too long and haven't been cooked thoroughly through. Ever bitten into a fish fillet and it is still wet, and sometimes slimy, on the inside? As mentioned earlier, this review is based on two visits. The Yelp Week was dine-in in which the service was great, Katherine was trained well and kept her cool whenever an issue arrisen, and the ambiance just fit the experience. My second time was through the drive-thru. What a below average experience that was. I must stress the staff was kind, but the fact that I had to look at the menu on one side of the building, drive around to the other side and make my order could be debilitating for those who don't have good memories. I wouldn't mind it so much, but isn't that the basic setup of drive-thru? What really got to me was how long it took Portillo's to make my order of two hot dogs and two sandwiches. The total was exactly 18 minutes from order start to finish. Wouldn't have been an issue but I was the only one in the drive-thru line at the time, and this was around 2 p.m. so there weren't that many patrons inside either. At least my food was wrapped securely to make sure nothing falls apart or spills. Ultimately, I am going to give this Portillo's location three-out-of-five stars for its review. I can't just shake the tantamount time it took for my drive-thru order to be made during stretch of downtime while being the only vehicle in said drive-thru. All I know is that I could possibly remedy that time if I take the time to order online or actually come down and order indoors There seems to be emphasize treating the indoor customers over the drive-thru.

I will review this restaurant in real time. The wait was a bit long just to get a table in the…read moremiddle of the afternoon, but to their credit, it's a small eat in and take out establishment on Goldenrod, very casual dining and with typical Puerto Rican decorations. They have bench seats and independent chairs. They do not have outdoor tables. About the service... long wait all around. I ordered a Coke Zero, they brought a can with a straw- I would say very reminiscent of what you would get in a kiosk in Puerto Rico, but other tables got a cup and ice. Maybe it's upon request? My husband ordered Perrier, or soda water, but they don't have any. It could be that they only serve canned drinks, not from a machine. So he got water, refills come very rarely. So far trickling slow. Every time I decide to do a "realtime review", something happens that it makes the service very slow. They play Latin music in the background. Food's here. Hubby ordered the pinchos with tostones one thing he noticed right away is that the pinchos aren't grilled. I ordered a pork pincho with mofongo and I have to agree, these are deep fried (carne frita). The tostones were good, he said. My pincho is very fatty and the flavor is ok, not seasoned as I would expect. The mofongo is on point, with crispy bits of pork rinds. The bill reflects a 4% increase if you use a credit card, regardless of your party size. I might come back and try some other items, though. Better luck next time.

It's been a minute since the last time I came to Willie's Pinchos. Their dining area is nicely…read moredecorated and looks way nicer compared to my last visit. I came today for the lunch special for $12.99 which is a mofongo and a pincho. The mofongo was decent it could have been just a little softer for my liking and the pincho was just ok. The pincho had lots of fatty pork chunks and it had bbq sauce but still was lacking flavor. For the portion size and price I think it's reasonable, but I doubt I'll be back.

Tried Potbelly Sandwich (East Colonial store) for the first time, and it was AWESOME! Service was…read moreexcellent and patient with us first time boomers. I ordered the Big version of the Prime Beef sandwich thinking I'd take half home for leftovers. Unfortunately the 1st have was so darn delicious, I ate the 2nd half. Yes, I'm uncomfortably full now but due entirely to my lack of discipline . The sandwich shocked me how good it was. We used to love Quizno's toasted subs but they have been long gone. So glad to see a toasted sub place again. The wife ordered same sub - original size, and loved it too. We will definitely be back again and again to try different options.

I was excited to see that there's a Potbelly here in the Orlando area. I used to visit Potbelly…read moreoften when I spent time in Chicago and always enjoyed it, so I was looking forward to trying this location. I stopped in after doing some shopping and placed my order online so it would be ready by the time I finished. I ordered the chicken club sandwich and a Dream Bar. It was after 8 p.m. on a Saturday, and the restaurant was pretty much empty. My order was ready ahead of the quoted pickup time, which I appreciated. However, the sandwich didn't quite live up to what I remember. The bread didn't taste as fresh as I expected, and the sandwich was lukewarm instead of warm and toasty like I've experienced at other locations. The Dream Bar was also not quite what I remembered. It didn't have the same richness or taste that made it a favorite for me in the past. I'm not sure if the time of day impacted the quality, but the overall experience just didn't match the Potbelly I remember from Chicago. That said, because I've had great experiences with this brand in the past, I'd be open to giving this location another try. Food: 3 out of 5 Service: 4 out of 5 Value: 3 out of 5 Overall Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
