Portillo’s Food outside of Chicagoland


I just saw that Portillo’s opened a restaurant in Georgia.

Any of you have tried Portillo’s outside of Chicagoland/Illinois?

Looking at the post comments, I see a lot of people are liking it.

I am wondering if they are able to conserve the restaurant, service, and food experience.

While I know a lot of people have experienced a decline of overall satisfaction after Dick Portillo sold, I need to be honest, I still enjoy the food from there.

    Expansion like this is why this sub is so ridiculous when out of towners come asking for recommendations and everyone circle jerks about how they have to try Portillos. 

    I had it in Phoenix because my nephews obsessed with it. It’s a chain, quality control is a priority so it’s not drastically different than here.

    There are two of them in the Los Angeles area. Both are a pain in the ass to drive to from LA proper, but damn it, sometimes I need a Chicago dog and Italian beef.

    I’ve had better back home in Chicago, but Portillo’s *really* scratches that itch when you need it to out here.

    I’ve had it in Dallas. 

    My Polish was solid but the cake shake wasn’t the same. Cake bits vs a real hunk of cake thrown in the blender. 

     I agree with the issues people have with the beef and for sure they’re cutting corners since being acquired. But if you stick with hot dogs/polish and fries I think you’ll find it’s still consistently good.
