How the fuck is this place so popular? Every damned location has lines out the door. Their food is mediocre at best. You can go to a local Vienna stand and get the same crappy fast food for cheaper.


yikes bad take. food is almost always fresh and good.

order via app for instore pickup, get in car and drive to resturant, arrive and pick up food in less than 3 minutes, leave.



sorry, but he's right. I would bet a mortage payment that at any Portillos you can find a little ma and pa hot dog stand within 5-10 miles that is doing it better.



Portillos is good for a massive fast food place, definitely on a different level than most. But overall the food there is average.

With Emmett's, it has to be the worst food ever made. I will eat almost anything that I pay for in a restaurant because I hate to waste money, but even I couldn't choke down this shit. When you walk by the place, the bar is full and the restaurant is empty. And the beer isn't that good. It needs to go away.


I ate here once, it wasn't very good. Don't really get Uncle Julio's either.


Uncle julio's is a great response to this thread. Place combines shitty food with high end prices. If you eat there you are an idiot.

Maybe but I'd bet for every one you find, there are 2 doing it worse. Plus, who wants to eat that much shitty, fast food to find out?

I like Italian food. Maggiano's is one of my favorites as far as chain places go.

Portillo’s is better than any option we have out here really. With one in Peoria and one in Davenport I imagine it will be less of a treat but really.. I haven’t found anything that compares to their stuff out here.

Put me in the “Portillo’s is decidedly average” camp. Like was said above, plenty of other places that do that kind of food better. Plus, I can get frozen crinkle-cut fries anywhere, without being 30 cars deep in the drive-up.

I wouldn't say midwesterners, I would say Chicagoans. We just happen to live in the hot dog/beef stand capital of the world.


I'm sure Portillos is amazing in Scotsdale and Tampa.

My former Chicago relatives claim Portillo's in Chicagoland is better than in AZ.

If you're ordering a BLT pizza or Taco pizza, you might as well kill yourself.

Actually I can totally believe this. Ever have Uno’s Pizza in another part of the country? It’s not the same. They often use “equivalent” ingredients from local sources.

Alternative pizzas have their place. Maybe 10% of the time I will order a BBQ chicken, Taco, or italian beef w/giardiniera pizza.

Here's my tip for the day- take a cheese, rising crust Freschetta pizza and put on some italian beef, hot giardiniera, and extra cheese. Did it once when we had leftover beef from a party. Best homemade pizza I ever made.

I believe it too..which is why I made the post I did. It seems like a no brainer. I would always assume that Chicago stuff is better in actual Chicago than anywhere else

I hadn't been to a Red Robin in 9, maybe 10 years. Had it today. Grand Brie. It was okay. Not good. Not great. Definitely not worth $15.

Whoever said Rosati's above isn't going to a good location where they know what they're doing.
