This was average at best. I frequented the Chicagoland locations years ago and always had an amazing experience. This one, not so much. The Portillos Dog was not impressive. A small dog with a cheap bun and a failed attempt with the weak fixings. That's just mine.
My wife's Apple Walnut Chicken salad was bland, no taste whatsoever and overpriced. That is all to say about that.
My son said his burger was good, but his chocolate shake was not. I tried it and it did taste like it was made with generic Hershey's syrup.
Not planning a return visit anytime soon.
If your visit was a better experience, congratulations.
