“Been coming here since I was a kid! I moved up north and haven’t been back in years and as God as my witness it tastes like I never left. Thank you for the nostalgia!“

“I've driven by the place for a year and kept thinking I should drop in. Finally stopped for a slice last month, and went back to try their smash burger just recently.

Love the place. They have excellent food and a kicky little interior, but I loved chatting with the owner as he made my food. One of the owners, at least. Anyway, curious to try their other offerings, and happy to meet a local small business owner and find them to be just good people. To me, that has more impact than the menu. But the menu is worth the trip, all the same!

I know the owner reads these reviews, so I say thank you for your excellent efforts. It's not a small thing to feed strangers food made with care and love, and it matters to some of us when we see it. Nothing but the best to you, my friend.“

“Great place to eat and excellent service .“

“Great experience from start to finish! The customer service was exceptional, and the food was absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, I’m not from the area, but if I’m ever back, I’ll definitely be stopping in again. This is the kind of customer service every restaurant should strive to provide. A special shout-out to Miguel for making the experience even more memorable!“

“The staff here is truly unbelievable! We stopped by last night shortly after their tip box had been stolen, but that did not stop Yuri and her team from providing the most welcoming service we have received here at night. I definitely had to leave a review when despite what they had going on, Yuri still attended to us and let us know about the upcoming deals this week! We will be back“

Beyond the classic favorites, their specialty pies feature beautifully seasoned meats that set them apart from standard pizza spots.
​The service is consistently warm, welcoming, and prompt, making you feel right at home whether you are picking up a quick takeout order or dining in with family. For anyone seeking delicious, premium halal options, this spot truly hits the mark!“

The burgers were fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, while the fries were crispy without being overly oily like they are at some other places. Overall, it was a great meal, and we'll definitely be coming back again!“

“Returned for the first time since 1985! Owner established that they’ve been there since 1978. Didn’t recognize anything but just wanted to bring home a Gyros and I did. Highly recommend it. Pita was perfect. Was still warm when I got home. Huge sandwich with an incredible amount of gyros and an awesome tzatziki sauce. Fresh tomatoes and onions—my mouth is watering 5 hours later writing this review. They’re still going strong after almost 50 years cause they’re friendly, consistent and serve great food!“

“Came in today with our big family and had an amazing experience! The food was delicious, and the management truly cared about making sure we had a great time. We tried just about everything on the menu, and our favorites were the smash burger and the nachos. We even tried their boba tea, and it was delicious! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served with great hospitality. Highly recommend—we’ll definitely be back!“

“I don't even know where to start. We went after graduation with our sailor. It wasn't crowded and everyone was so nice and so helpful. We ordered individual meals and an additional deep dish pizza (which was DELICIOUS) and it wasn't too expensive at all. Everyone enjoyed the variety of their individual meals and we definitely loved the pizza. The customer service had a great hometown feel and we felt right at home.“

“Our band played at Whiskey River on a Friday and we had dinner and drinks there beforehand. Food was excellent, staff was awesome and very welcoming. Really cool crowd with a noticeably wide age range, everyone had a good time.“

“Not the best dog or polish in Chicago, but definitely in the top ten. This from someone who has been shoving them into his face for over sixty-five years. I've been to 'em all on the north side - Lerner's, the Ranch,' the Pit, Sammy Skobel's, Wolfy's, Fluky's, Dear Franks', Michaels, Stashes, Mutt and Jeff's, Shmendels, and all of the Irvings. ALL of them. Little Island stands right up there. What they do have that is the best in Cook County are their fries. Best ever. They don't travel well, so have them there. Grilled polish is outstanding. And NEVER, EVER, EVER order a dog or a Polishj with anything red - ketchup OR tomato. Two stars for atmosphere - if that's important to you, go to Portillo's.“

“We love the welcoming & friendly staff to my husband and I as well as my dog when eating on the comfortable and shady patio! The menu is very interesting & diverse ! Hard decisions each time! The cheese curds are delicious and unlike any other restaurants”s version! Highly recommended!!!!“

“Everything about Jamesons is great. Especially Junior at the bar, he made our experience absolutely 100/10. We came with a 1 year old and he attended him very well. Unfortunately our son has an egg allergy but Junior made sure all our foods we egg free! If you are in the area, stop by!! Junior will make your day jump from 10/10 to 100/10.“

“Dean always makes the visit; but the Wings, Buffalo chips and RC are what always bring us back.“

“Try their chili! It is the best. Great atmosphere.“

“Great place. Been going for over 50 years. Cash only is no problem. Food is great and beer selection is outstanding. A true gem on the north shore. Wisconsin road house in Glenveiw.“

“Today was the first time I have ever Ben in a Portillo’s Restaurant, first time I have ever had an Italian beef sandwich. I have a Lotta friends in Fort Myers who go all the way to Tampa to get this sandwich and they continue to tell me how good it is. So this evening we decided to go to Portillo since I was visiting on my grandkids and my daughter and son-in-law, I really enjoyed that Italian beef sandwich. There are a lot of other good things on the menu, but that was what I was there for. Unfortunately, they do not have a Portillo’s Station FortnMyer Florida. I can only hope that one day they will build it there.“

“I love absolutely every bite“
