Known for their Hot Dogs, but their Chop Salad is awesome!

Going to Portillo's is an experience. There is just so much to choose from and everything is great. It's perfect for a quick bite with a lot of people, because everyone will find something they like.

I've been to the one downtown a few times and their drive thru is unbelievably efficient. Very impressive. I've also been to one in the suburbs after golf, which also offers a great experience.

Lastly, a friend of mine has had a few parties with Portillo's catering. Very well done!

• Pros: Tons of choices
• Cons: Very busy

2nd best hotdog in chicago

by PacinoFan at Citysearch

I know hotdogs! I was at the Conney Island hotdog eating contest every year as a child.

This is not the best hot dog in Chicago - The best is Maxwell Street. This is a close second though, and its really good because of consistency. I love this place sooooo much!

-1 for not being maxwell street

• Pros: its delicious
• Cons: maxwell is better

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

• Cons: none
