| - Edit: Having gone back and tried their burgers, added another star. Burgers are definitely their specialty, not Italian beef. They cook everything up in front of you and you don't wait long before you are faced with a massive, greasy, perfect burger.
I definitely want to go back and try the burgers, because they looked and smelled amazing. Made the mistake of trying the beef/sausage combo sandwich instead. Definitely not their specialty. Portillo's all the way. Meat was dry, despite the whole sandwich being dipped. I didn't really care for the flavor so I picked it all off and just had the sausage. Grease ran down my chin as I attempted to eat that colossal mess. Seriously, this is a huge ass sandwich. I felt disgusting eating about 2/3 of the sandwich and admitted defeat. Meanwhile, my boyfriend complained that he didn't like the flavor of the au jus, and half-heartedly picked the meat pieces. The cheese & hot pepper mix was fine on the sandwich, but the grilled onion strings definitely did not go with the sandwich. I had been hoping they would be chopped, but even then they belong on a burger.
The cheesey fries & chili cheese fries are an insane portion. Each one is a meal for two in itself. I only could eat a few bites... there's more cheese than fries. However this isn't really a complaint. The chili has an excellent flavor, and you can tell it's their own original recipe.
