I’d rate this as a 4.5. The score being under 4 seems unfair.

Flavor King! Holy cow this roast beef was amazing! Can we say blast from the past? Amazing collection! Relics of our past and everywhere you look. It was not from my time but it certainly was a treat to see. Such a great place! The employees were very helpful at answering questions on what or how to order, With a smile! So appreciated. Everyone there was happy, polite and so eager to offer assistance. The restaurant was very clean, esp the bathrooms!

We love Portillo’s. First time at this location. The thematic decor was incredible. Very different from the others. The scoreboards in the rafters were a great idea in design. Food and service was great as always. I will come back to this one again when I am in the area.

The hot dogs were partially hollow and tasted strange. The beef and cheese croissant had a bone in it and was soggy and mashed together, it just fell apart trying to eat it. The fries were only 3/4 full with a bunch of small hard pieces on the bottom. Paid over $30 for 2 horrible meals that ended up getting tossed. The guy placing the order was clueless and unpersonable and took forever just to run my credit card because he couldn’t figure out how to do it.

This restaurant is amazing. The retro aesthetic was very cool and well thought out. Their hotdogs are fairly inexpensive, and taste great. I go here regularly. The chocolate shake and lemon cake are also amazing. Their fries are also very good. I cannot recommend this place enough.

I had never heard of Portillo’s but it looked like a fun place and I was hungry. Went for the #1 after talking with a couple locals. Delicious. The cheese sauce was a nice addition too

The double rodeo burger tasted just as good as it looked on the menu. Food was so good, we decided to also get shakes/malts there. The malt was probably the best part; extra thick and tasted great. No complaints from anyone else in our group either, everyone loved their food and dessert.

Andrew Hipke
$10 for an average Italian beef that was less than 6 in, no cheese, and probably 4 oz of beef. It tastes fine, but the venue is overpriced and the portion is disappointing.

Excellent place to eat! Great food and love that there is a plant-based option. The fries are so good! Don’t miss the desserts, either. Every kind of cake is so good, and the shakes are good too. The service is friendly and it’s a fun, retro diner atmosphere.
