What People Are Saying About Portillo's Hot Dogs

In Short
Portillo's cavernous bi-level space has a touristy feel that's rife with nostalgia for the Capone era. An antique car hangs from the ceiling, and old photos and Depression-era signs adorn the exposed-brick walls. The Italian beef sandwich is a star here, shaved slices of beef served on chewy French bread and soaked in its own jus. Other favorites include Chicago hot dogs, burgers, Polish sausage and cheese fries.

while known mostly for its dogs and italian beef...don't shy away from a true flame broiled cheesburger. The fries can't be beat

This was the first time that we had eaten at this restaurant, and it was a mixed bag of compliments. I had one of their signature salads and absolutely loved it. Everything was fresh, prepared while I watched and extremely tasty. It was on the daily special, so the meal itself was very inexpensive as well. The other members of the party, however, did not enjoy their meals as much. One ordered a steak sandwich with hot peppers and was treated to something with carrots and other unidenfied vegetables on it. The other person in the group ordered a polish sausage, which was overcooked, but otherwise had no faults. The service was fast and friendly and the atmosphere was family friendly. I would recommend :)

I love Portillo's hotdogs. Always just right. The best Italian beef sandwiches, better than Al's #1. French fries are the best. Service is fast.
