  1. Dude I’ve been saying this over and over. Their hot dogs and Italian beef are fine but they have a GOAT tier fast foot burger. It’s in the same tier as only Culver’s and Shake Shack.

    Pro Tip: Eat it ASAP. The bottom bun gets soggy very quickly, thats my only possible knock on it.

    I disagree. I live on the west coast and there’s a Portillo’s a few cities over from me. I’m not near it very often but I happened to be in the neighborhood the other day. I got one of their burgers because it seems every few months I see a post just like this one on here, saying how they’re famous for hot dogs and Italian beef but you’ve gotta try the burgers. It really was nothing to write home about. Tasted just like a regular Wendy’s burger, albeit a little bigger. Had all the same fixins. Not terrible but I was disappointed since I’ve seen people praise them several times here. It wasn’t cheap either. I got a double cheeseburger combo and it was something like $18. That’s 5 Guys nonsense. I’d never go back.

    Don’t believe the hype

    Their burgers are charbroiled and they suck. I’ve been going to Portillos my whole life. Idolizing those fake mobsters above me as my Nannie ordered us some Chicago style dogs because she didn’t feel like taking us to Gene’s and Jude’s that week.

  4. Great burgers and onion rings but may be dripping in grease. If your stomach is feeling iffy might wanna just get a cake shake

    Lived in Chicago all my life so I’ve been to Portillo’s a lot. It is easily one of my favorite burgers in the whole city and we have some good burgers.

    That’s a pretty good exhibit A to make your claim. Damn that looks good.
