We went to Portillo's for the first time this weekend -- it was a long time coming, as we had both driven by and heard so much about this place for awhile. Walking in, we were overwhelmed with the large size of the restaurant, and the amazing amount of decor and memorabilia items covering the walls and ceiling.
You order at the registers and wow - their menu is WAY more than dogs and fries. Pasta, salads, burgers....but really, who orders anything but a hot dog at this place? We both got regular sized dogs and I got a side of onion rings with mine.
The dogs were good! Nothing out of this world, but definitely fresh tasting and yummy for sure. Pretty sure I will order the "jumbo" size next time, though.
I wasn't overly thrilled with the onion rings...they didn't seem super fresh to me - I like my onion rings golden brown and piping hot.
I will definitely be back - great bang for your buck! We left with full tummies, but didn't feel overly stuffed, which is always a plus :)
