It was my first time at this location of Portillo’s. My expectations were high because I know that Portillo’s never disappoints when it comes to the service, the food, and everything else. My expectations were met after I ate inside and I got to see how clean the place was. The interior of Portillo’s is unique to any restaurant around, and it really feels nice which is something casual and very comfortable. The service, as I expected, was also nice, although the food took longer. The restaurant is also very busy, which is why it took longer for me to get my food, but when it comes to the staff, I would say that they are very friendly and accommodating. I just got some hot dogs, fries and a drink and all of it was good, perfectly cooked and tasting really delicious. Their food is definitely the best that they offer because, first of all, they have a wide and varied selection on their menu. Second, the prices are fair and reasonable.

The last three times I have been here, they always mess up an order. From forgetting a fry, or forgetting cake, Even gave me a chicken sandwich instead of a hamburger. Management should really play cool closer attention. Always taste great at least, that is when you get the stuff you actually ordered.

Not the same as when the Portillos owned it. Half the beef is used on the sandwiches now, the dunked sandwiches were still dry and the juice isn't the same. If it's not broke, don't fix it. There's a reason it was the most popular place. We don't even bring it home to Tennessee with us anymore, it's just not worth the price and the flavors not there. When they were first bought, they added spice, red pepper flakes I believe, now it was lacking flavor, maybe a little of the fat from the juice as well that also gives flavor. Employees are still as awesome as they used to be. Miss the hand written orders on the bags though. And it used to be packed, with quite the line at the registers. There was plenty of places to sit and park now on a Saturday night. You're ripping if the very people that made it so popular for all these years. Curious to see if it's been a yearly decline since the new owners. Wheelchair accessibility: Only 3 handicap spaces available that we saw, but fort
