- John MorganMarch 16, 2017The Chicago dog was delicious 😋. A must visit for families anyone wanting a delicious Chicago dog.
- Serious EatsSeptember 26, 2011Get the Cheese Fries. Yes, these are frozen and this is fast food, but that doesn't stop us. Crispy and well salted with a piping hot cup of bright yellow cheese sauce. Sometimes, that's all you need. Read more
- My NguyenMarch 24, 2016Hands down the best hotdog I've ever had; and I've been to New York! Had the jumbo dog
- Nancy P.August 18, 2014The chili and cheese dog with onions was amazing! You can't go wrong with anything on their menu!
- Cynthia LeeJuly 22, 2012You do not deserve to eat portillo's hot dogs if you put ketchup on it. Be sure to try their chili dog with a side of cheese fries! And any draft beer to quench your thirst.
- Dareine Marti-ArrueOctober 31, 2016Holy moly!!! The Italian Beef with sweet and hot peppers!!!! I wish they had one of these places in Miami!
- Tobias ReiperAugust 20, 2015A Chicago institution where the Portillo's Beef Hot Dog is a must try given its unique toppings!!!
- Dan KnightDecember 7, 2014Amazing atmosphere, best Chicago dogs and Italian beef sandwiches I've ever had! Enjoy the view from balcony, and get there before 5.
- Lisa NJune 23, 2013The italian beef and hot dog combo sandwich is highly recommended. Regular hot dogs are great but you could easily manage two as they are on the small side.
- Yani LoperOctober 13, 2018The staff was really friendly! I went on a really busy day and they gave me the food quicker than I thought, and good food too!
- Joey NowakJanuary 27, 2015Chocolate cake shake will knock your socks off. And the chopped salad is better than their Italian beef and hot dogs, which are both pretty average by Chicago standards.
- Ege ElgunMarch 26, 2022So worth the hype! Amazing hotdogs and the infamous chocolate cake is truly delicious.
- Pauline RemyMarch 14, 2013Place full of chicagoans! So typically American and cliché! But good fast food that changes from burger! Definitely a go if you don't want to go to a restaurant!
- Claire CoyleOctober 5, 2017Hot dogs: Chicago dogs, chili cheese dogs; Italian beef, polish sausage, burgers, sandwiches, fries / cheese fries, etc.
- lino brescia™August 19, 2017Fast food. Good dogs. Get two. Smaller than I thought. The beer was bigger than I thought. Worked out well :)
- Dear italian beef sandwich, your au jus brings a tear to my eye. So delicious, keep up the good work. P.S - the Portillo's staff is friendly too.
- Stephen LJune 2, 2011Best dogs in Chicago, don't mess around, get it with everything on it (Even peppers sissies)! Not feeling a dog? The Italian Beef will melt your face, and don't forget a side of cheese fries!
- Alex TuckerMay 6, 2014Cake shake is the best! But you also can't go wrong with their custard. Either way, make sure you get dessert before you leave.
- Joe PayawalAugust 8, 2011Outside of your traditional Chicago style hot dog and Italian beef, try the Penne Al'aribiatta from the Barnelli's side. You can get it with chicken or sausage and has a real spicy kick.
- Serious EatsMay 14, 2013The giardiniera on the Italian Beef is a well-balanced crunchy blend of jalapenos, carrots and celery that has just enough heat to enhance the tender, thinly sliced meat.
- sean robertsNovember 7, 2018I’m from Boston and never heard of an Italian Beef but our local rep convinced me to try it. It was great, hit the spot on a cold afternoon.
- Adam TallyApril 13, 2015Only had the Chili dog, and Regular Chicago dog, both were amazing. Will go back.
- Alice FerrisNovember 16, 2015Try the Jumbo Chicago Style Hotdog - Always think of my lunch buddies Jeff Hall and Kevin Schindler when I get a Chicago dog. (via @Foodspotting)
- Dan SohaydaOctober 12, 2018A lot going on in this place. I think there are three restaurants under one roof. Want a freshly made dog? Make a minor change like no onions. You’ll wait a long time for that fresh dog though.
- Amanda NatividadOctober 18, 2011Italian Beef and Chocolate Cake Shake are amazing. Cheese fries are at least decent anywhere, even here. Don't know why people think it's so delicious. They're just cheese fries.
- Chicago TribuneJune 25, 2015What could possibly be better than taking a very well-liked slice of cake, adding ice cream and putting it through a blender? As it turns out, nothing. For $3.05, sugary bliss is imminent. Read more

- Colin NelsonJanuary 12, 2016A Chicago staple. You have to get the Chicago hot dog and a chocolate cake shake.
