Portillo's Hot Dogs, Chicago

If you think you do not like hot dogs or they are just ok, then you may not have eaten one in the Chicago area. Not sure why, but they are a different level of food than what I have know of hotdogs previously. Everywhere I have eaten in Chicago has been very good. Portillo's might be a good standard of comparison and they have a bigger menu than many places. I like the grilled Italian sausage hot dog with sweet peppers. Really good.

First time going to Portillo's! I ordered the Double Burger and a side of onion rings. It was the best burger that i have had to date! Went back a second time in the same day and ordered a Cake Shake. Milk shake with chocolate cake mixed up in it. Will make you want to slap your momma.....and any other mommasstanding around!!

I now live in Atlanta and man I miss Portillo's! Every time I go back to Chicago to visit family I HAVE to go to Portillo's. I've lived and worked all over the U.S. and nothing can compare...

HI I am longterm chef Angelo Castaldi I am 30 years experienced in the kitchen i have to say portillos is deliecious the burgers and meat its cooked beautuiful if meat is not juicy it is ruined and overcooked meat is trashed a real chef knows his meat and knows that meat shldnot be cooked past medium becuase the meat is cooked to a dry ruined texture that is also more unhealthy for the body and portillos u have the best burger in the chcago land area thanks to the 20,000 char broiler in every portillos

Ordering is a little intimidating...but fun... to newcomers.

If you are looking for the perfect Italian beef sandwich this is the place. They have a fun family atmosphere. You will not leave hunrgy or unhappy.

The best Italian beef and Italian sausage sandwiches in the mid-west.

Must have Chicago dog. Great atmosphere. Service really moves you along. A catering mainstay if you're having a party and need Italian beefs or Chicago Dogs in bulk.

Great hot dogs and Italian beef. Wonderful onion rings. Good malts. They even have a drive-through in downtown Chicago with an amazingly well-organized system at busy times.

Excellent Chicago style hot dogs. The Italian beef was very tasty, but frankly, the chocolate malt was the highlight for me. Ok, it's a little schlocky but it's a hoot and I will definitely visit again. I have to say, the staff was slammed but very helpful.
