My husband recommended it as a good place to eat and he was right! The atmosphere and mood of the restaurant were perfect. I tried the Italian sausage with sweet peppers, fries, and a root beer, and it was delicious. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant for some good old-fashioned comfort food.

I love their Chicago style hot dog every time I visit, it's amazing! However, I do have a complaint. Out of the 20 times I have been there, my order was only correct three times. It seems to be just my bad luck though, as no one else in my family has experienced this issue. It might just be a quirk of Portillo's at this point. I would recommend dining inside to avoid any mix-ups with your hot dog or fries. Overall, I would give their regular hot dogs a rating of 4/5 Yeet Boxes.

This restaurant offers great value, a fun atmosphere, and tasty beef fries. We also loved the chocolate cake. read more This restaurant offers great value, a fun atmosphere, and tasty beef fries. We also loved the chocolate cake.

Place was clean, the dining room spotless and the restrooms were stocked and clean too! Menu was big yet simple. Somany choices. Unfortunately on our visit the shake machine wasn't working and we heard how amazing the shakes were. Our groupgot the double cheese burger, the Italian meat sandwich, Chicago dog, chocolate cake, strawberry shortcake and drinks. GET THECHEESE SAUCE! Fed a group of 10 for $115 and we did not order light. Prices were good. Lots and lots of seating in otherrooms.

They were literally making fresh Strawberry Shortcake while I was ordering. The bread is so fresh. I had 2 cheese dogs (I'm not supposedto tell anyone I added ketchup apparently people from Chicago will get upset if they know you put ketchup on Hot Dogs???? Theemployees there are all extremely helpful. Stop here if you are in Normal just like I am for the week ????.
