56 cents is all it is worth. Portillo's has to be THE most overrated chain in Chicago. |

saving a few cents on a store bought piece of cake (not really even savings as you are required to make another purchase you might not have made) is now shoutout worthy? |

Their cake is definitely overrated. Mayonnaise does not belong in cake. |

Their beef and cheddar croissant with hot giardiniera is divine. Their fries are great. Their chicken chopped salad is really good. If you consider it "fast food", it's the best of the category. |

i would love an MBA program to do a case study on how such an average place like portillo's has become an empire. their drive thru always has a line out dopes waiting for who knows why it makes sense it expanded through the burbs first. |

Portillo's is fine for what it is. Their beef is overrated and bland. There are better burgers. Their fries are vastly overrated. Their onion rings are decent. They do hot dogs better than most places. The cake is tasty. Living in the northern reaches of Lake County, it's my best option available...tallest midget award. Like many things that are average and super successful, they market better than anyone. |

It started in the burbs. It was always a suburban restaurant. I think there has always been some purposeful vagueness about it being a Chicago place. |

Always go to the drive through, unless you really are going to sit down and eat your meal. They prioritize drive through other wise their parking lots would be a cluster fuck. That dog and fries is going to get a helluva lot more priority for packaging assembly via the drive-thru then inside. Also I would like to see Joe Orr pull his "I'm not pulling up" stunt in a Portillo's drive through...I bet they would slash his tires! |

Dengeos in Skokie and Buffalo Grove for one. Jucier burger...better bun. |

Day. Long. Or, outside the chains, many, many mom & pop shops in the area can get you a better burger rather quickly. |

the fries are inedible. garbage. I never go there. I was just going to say, Culver's has a good greasy burger if you go for that. |

Back in the day HACKNEYS had the best onion rings. Seriously doubt they are the same now and even who owns that anymore and which locations still exist. Any other examples of the onion ring LOAF a la Hackneys? |

Their "fries" are like the frozen ones my grandma used to make in the oven. Ironically, Culver's are the same style but not quite as terrible, but still bad. |
