Do you know any other places that combine good prices, good food, fast service, inexpensive beer - and no waiters hanging over your head, pulling your food away from you, and trying to drive you out, so the next guest can come in? I love this place!

Went there today with group of women, one with celiac disease. Manager and employees have no clue about gluten-free food and cross-contamination. Asked if our one person could bring in food since they couldn't provide lunch for her. No, manager said she would have to do it for everyone. Really! Reminds me of old story... If your provide CPR for... More

Manager was rude. Party of 7 had to leave because they did not offer anything gluten free and would not allow one to bring in food for special diet.

Everything they serve us fresh from the kitchen. Cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. My favorite are the salads and the cheese fries..... Mouth watering, must go now!

We go here all the time, I take customers here as well. Sometimes I am surprised that people from all over the world know about Chicago hot dogs and ask me if I can take them there. Its a fun place to go with customers and family. Go there and your will enjoy it. John

You can't beat a Portillo's in the Chicago area for a great hot dog or beef sandwich. This one has a a Barnelli's as well, which offers some salads and other non-burger type choices. The atmosphere in the restaurant is fun and cozy. Always a good choice!

I live in the area and frequent this place often. No matter if I use the drive thru or dine instead I always have a good experience. The atmosphere inside is busy. Actually this place is always busy!! The food comes quick and is always pipping hot. They are known for their Chicago style hot dogs and beefs but the... More
