Michael FoehseDecember 15, 2011Dogs, Windy City style. Worth the stop and a downtown meal under $10!
Slim LzbnDecember 5, 2011Make sure u have patience if u wanna call in an order ahead of time. I hung up after 10 mins.
Oleg OsmushkinOctober 8, 2017Waited for 20 minuets for one hotdog and french fries. Maxwells hotdog looks ugly. Don’t taste good.
- The chocolate cake and the chocolate cake shake are super delicious!
Leon VelazquezMay 27, 2015worst hot dog, chocolate cake, kid's pasta and above all, SERVICE I've ever had
If u want to feel better about your unhealthy Portillo's, get a plain baked potato from Barnelli's instead of fries.
