“Sorry to say that I was disappointed. The gyros were good but the patty melt was horrible. The hamburger tasted frozen, dried and tasteless. Fries were good as well. The other disappointment was they forgot my grandsons Hotdog, which was at the top of the receipt. I will probably try again since I paid for hotdog and will have to go back“

“I went back to Teddy’s! The owner said hey! You were right about the paper! I was so confused. And I remembered I put a review about a year ago about how the flavor was different and the paper used to wrap the dog was inferior! But he remembered that review?! And he changed the paper? That’s what makes Teddy’s special! It’s a family owned owner operated business! They notice the smallest things and make the necessary changes to retain customers! They look at us rather than the dollar and cents! And guess what the hot dog was killer today! The fries were delicious I almost finished the bags before getting home thankfully he threw in extra fries! Thank you Teddy’s! I can’t wait to come back!“

The fries are the best ever and so is the service! They do it "Lisle Style"! Don't forget sweets, delicious! Go once, you will be back!“

“I had the double hamburger with Swiss. Burger was cooked well done as requested. It tasted great and was hot. We also had the gyro sandwich. You get a lot of gyro but should of requested that the gyro be cooked on the grill longer. The fries were amazing salted perfectly and hot. Overall it was a great experience for a fast bite to eat.“

“I have visited the restaurant in person and have always been pleased. But I wanted to give a shoutout for the catering order I placed for a holiday party for the apartment community I manage. The food was delivered on time, hot, packaged extremely well, nothing was missed. The girl who delivered it was so helpful she was even helped set up some trays as we were figuring out placement. The food was also delicious, we ordered ribs, chicken, pasta, and Greek potatoes. We will definitely order again! Thank you!“

“Please don't put the gyros sandwich on a greasy grill...too soggy!! Also, cucumber sauce should be added AFTER the sandwich is made so it is still cool. Great place, food, prices!!“

“We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience for our taco and tequila-themed birthday party! Toni and her husband exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we reached out, they were incredibly responsive and worked with us to create a perfect menu. The taco bar was a huge hit—fresh, flavorful, and customizable to everyone's tastes. Guests raved about the variety and quality of the ingredients. Not only was the food outstanding, but Toni and her husband were a joy to work with. They set up everything beautifully, ensured everything ran smoothly, and were attentive throughout the event. Their passion for what they do truly shines through. We received countless compliments from our guests, and many asked for their contact information for future events. If you’re looking for a caterer who brings creativity, flavor, and professionalism, look no further than Toni and her husband!“

“Neighborhood goodness reminds you of the hot dog shack in the town you grew up in. Solid menu. Great fries. They heat their freaking BBQ sauce! Come on. Why is that not a thing everywhere? My favorite is the poor boy, but nothing on the menu is bad.“

“My 5 star review is entirely in part due to the customer service from Sam/ Phil. We arrived and explained to Sam that we previously had a negative experience but that it was a while ago and we hadn’t had a chance to come back sooner. But we were told to come in and explain that we spoke to Phil and we’d be taken care of. Sam went to the back so speak with Phil on the matter of course and when he returned he took complete care of us, no questions. It’s simple customer service like this that will have us coming back to this location time and time again. Thank you Sam, thank you Phil. We appreciate your great customer service.“

“your no cash policy is a joke. sitting in drive thru for half an hr to be told you cant get food is ridiculous. then sit in line again for another 20 to just leave because you cant eat. DO NOT DINE AT THIS ESTABLISHMENT“

“This isn't about the good (which I love), but about the people! I foster dogs and got a new foster puppy Saturday. She's very shy and afraid of people so she ran from everyone. She ended up in the reeds by Five Guys. The manager and two other employees help catch my foster pup! This could have ended horribly, but didn't. I'm eternally grateful! Thank you!!!“

“I don't think I like Facebook's way of posting reviews. [Edit: no one else likes it, either. I'm the only reviewer in 2025, and it's almost 2026. They should also pay closer attention to the "not recommend" reviewers.] The review below this paragraph is just over 1,000 words, as if it appeared in a newspaper. I might just make any reviews of other restaurants and venues as regular posts. If you like Chicago-style fast food, eat here. Expect $15 per person unless you just order one hotdog and a glass of water. Portillo's is a chain with 94 restaurants and "drive-through-only" locations spread throughout ten states. Their greatest concentration is in the Chicagoland area. Founded by Dick Portillo in 1963 as a hot-dog trailer parked in Villa Park Illinois, the restaurant grew steadily over the years. It’s now a publicly traded company, and Dick Portillo no longer plays an active role in day-to-day operations. All Portillo's locations are company owned, with no franchisees. Portillo's sells Chicago-style fast food. They serve Italian Beef, which I’m reviewing here. They also serve Chicago-style all beef hotdogs, Italian and Maxwell Street Polish sausage sandwiches, barbecued pork ribs, grilled and deep-fried fish and chicken sandwiches, pepper-and-egg sandwiches during Lent, chili, and even char-grilled hamburgers. They also sell Chicago-style tamales, but only in the Chicagoland area or "ship to home." The location reviewed here is at 1155 Brook Forest Ave., Shorewood IL. Their hours are 10 AM to 11:30 PM Sunday through Thursday, and 10 AM to Midnight Friday and Saturday. I visited the location in mid-evening on a Tuesday. The dining room was still roughly half occupied, and the double-column line for the drive through was still overflowing into the main parking lot. I've yet to see a Portillo's location not busy, but they might not be as popular outside of the Midwest. I ordered the "regular" Italian Beef wet with extra gravy on the side, sweet pepper garnish, small fries, and a fountain drink. Portillo's sells Coca-Cola products for fountain drinks. They are also famous for their milkshakes; particularly their "Chocolate Cake Shake." While it's incredibly good, it's exactly what it sounds like. Some, but not all Portillo's locations are licensed to sell beer and wine. The selection and availability vary by location. Italian Beef. The French Bread, like all bread products used by Portillo's was a Turano product. It was fresh, with just the right amount of toasting pre-service. The beef was perfectly sliced, very finely grained, and did not seem to have sat for an excessive period of time awaiting service. Portillo's gets their beef from Vienna Beef. However, they get it raw, and do their own seasoning, slow-roasting and slicing in their central commissary before repackaging and sending it to their restaurants. The French Bread Roll was properly filled with roast beef, not overflowing, but still quite full. The regular beef is more than enough for many diners. If you want more, the "Big Beef" sandwich is 50% larger. Both the regular and Big Beef sandwiches are also available as "combo" sandwiches with an appropriate length char-grilled Italian Sausage. The spice blend was properly Italianate, and at just the right strength to compliment the sandwich. When you eat this sandwich, you are eating Italian Beef, not "grandma's spice rack," or "store-brand-watery-Arby's." Gravy. Portillo's makes their own gravy while slow-roasting their beef. The gravy was a rich dark brown. Both the "au-jus" and the spices were in perfect balance, strength, and concentration. It was served properly hot. The flavor was perfect, with no hint of being scorched, burned, or overheated. The sauteed sweet peppers were cut "country style," which suited them well. The peppers were well sauteed, yet had enough slight to moderate firmness“

“Three stars for atmosphere because let's be honest, it's in a gas station. The food though is absolutely fantastic! I highly recommend a polish with just grilled onions and mustard or a delicious cheeseburger. The cheeseburgers a nicely pit together not just thrown together like you get at the fast food places. KThe grilled onions are SOOOO good! Fries come with most options so don't over do it and accidentally buy extra. The fries are always crisp, hot, and well seasoned.“
“This is one of the drive-through only locations, so I parked and ate since I wasn't near home.
Food was fresh, picking up my online order was easy, the got my order and condiments correct.
My only complaint was they didn't give me ANY napkins! I love Portillo's, but for that greasy goodness you almost need plastic gloves. No napkins at a location that most people will eat in their car is unfortunate.“

“Good burger and good fries. A little on the pricey side for me but they do give you alot of fries. Restaurant was very clean and comfortable. First time trying a five guys burger. Was pretty good but I have had better. If I didn't have another choice I would have again. Definitely will not go out of my way to get one. That being said it was not a bad experience, just not that impressed. Try for yourself, you might like the meal.“

“I placed an order for a jumbo cheese dog and fries and had to wait in the drive thru line over 30 minutes. They said they had a system issue but after reading the reviews I doubt that's the case. I got in line at 6:59 and placed my order it's now 7:33 and I just got the bag. I can't move anywhere because nobody else has their food so I have to sit here and wait. This is absolutely ridiculous. I ordered a jumbo cheese dog with tomato and pickle only and a large fry. I open the bag there's a cup in there with a tomato and pickle in it and a cup of cheese missing my hot dog and my fries. It's now 7:37 and I'm still waiting and my order is incorrect. Who just orders a cup of cheese and a pickle and a tomato. I left there at 8:03 finally with my hot dog and fries“

“Our table had a burger, steak sandwich, Italian beef with cheese and peppers, and hot dogs. Everyone loved what they had and you get a lot of food for the price.
Italian beef is very stuffed, get a huge pile of shoestring fries when ordered. Soda fountain is Pepsi products.
Portillo's is embarrassingly bad compared to this place.“
