Share your opinion about Portillo's Merrillville
Each time I go to Chicago or nearby I’m seeking out Portillo’s. Italian Beef or Polish sausage.
Easy quick visit for awesome Italian beef and a hot dog.
First time having Portillo's as I just moved here from out of state. Food was delicious. I had a Chicago dog. I was a little confused when ordering and the drive thru attendant seemed frustrated with me (in person taking orders from cars).
