Portillo's Merrillville offers a variety of classic American meals like hot dogs, Italian beef, and burgers. The restaurant features a western-themed decor, allowing customers to watch their food being prepared, which many find unique. The service is usually fast and professional, with staff maintaining a clean environment. Customers appreciate the good value and adequate portions for the price.
The Italian beef sandwich is a popular choice, especially when dipped for extra juiciness, and the hot dogs and burgers are also enjoyed. The restaurant is known for its chocolate cake, although some have not tried it due to diet restraints. Recent updates include a self-serve fountain for drinks, making refills easier.

Customers often stop by when traveling, enjoying the consistent quality and variety of the menu. The staff is generally friendly, with one employee praised for their kindness in providing a free dessert during a short wait time.
