Sruts SamMarch 22, 2012They have the most amazing shakes!! Hot dogs go without saying... even their salads are fantastic!
stephanie kellyMarch 4, 2010Jumbo Chicago dog or a wet Italian beef sandwich. I'm not sure why there's anything else on the menu. Also, the cheese fries are delish, but I get mine well done.
Any of the following are good - Beef N Cheddar, Polish dog, Beef Hot Dog with everything, Double Cheeseburger, Charbroil Chicken sandwich and Fries!
Janice LiJuly 18, 2011Amazing hotdogs, skip the beef sandwich. Regular and jumbo portillo's hot dogs are a must, no need for ketchup.
Awesome food. Combo of Italian beef and sausage is great
Paulo SantosSeptember 18, 2014Not a bad chicago dog, but I came here for the chocolate cake shake! 😛
nancy wJanuary 20, 2014their hot dogs and beef are one of best their prices are reasonable http://hauntedpages.wordpress.com
AdnaJanuary 6, 2016Got the Italian beef and cheese in a croissant. Sandwich was tasty but poorly constructed. Be ready to eat with a knife and fork!
Joseph B.June 30, 2015Despite the crowds and lines at lunchtime, I only waited 10 minutes between walking in and getting my food. Cheap food I might add.
Michael BottiglieroFebruary 4, 2011You cannot get a better fast food cheeseburger anywhere else. Big beef is great, crinkle-cut fries, polish sausage, etc!
Joseph GOctober 11, 2015Tourist trap. Dogs and sausage were very good. Made the mistake of going there on national hot dog day. Lol
Italian beef should be served dipped with hot peppers! Ask for it!
Jane MoonJune 4, 2013I hate pickles and tomatoes and this place made me love them all together on a damn hot dog...so good
Hotdogs! Fries! Hacker Pschorr! Chocolate Cake Milkshake
Chloe KayananOctober 6, 2012Scrumptious food! Great as always...and busy as ever :-) ribs are spectacular
ISC ChicagoSeptember 7, 2017It's always been on the list of best Chicago-style hot dogs, but I've been to better. Sorry, I don't get the hype.
Barnelli's Pasta Bowl, Fettuccini Carbonara is a must try!
Get the chocolate cake! Oh my gosh it's awesome...and cheap!
Laney BMay 26, 2011Favorite spot in Chicago! Chicken Al'Diavolo = spicy, cheesy deliciousness! Add a side of garlic bread and water. Yum for $11
Angela RoseMarch 14, 2015The food and atmosphere are great but the employees should have a separate bathroom room from customers
Tony MuellerMarch 30, 2011Italian Beef, Dipped with Sweet Peppers... best i've ever had. We need a Portillo's in St. Louis!
