We always make a point of stopping at Portillo's when we are in Rockford. Love the Italian Beef with sweet peppers and grilled onions. The place is always busy but they manage the crowd very well. Hopefully a Portillo's will open somewhere closer to where we live so we can enjoy it more often!
Food was excellent three of us had bacon cheeseburger the wife had the italian beef sausage combo was very good also slice of chocolate cake excrllent
I ordered from DoorDash and got portillos long story short portillos was amazing and had a staff member bring the food to our clinic and even brought an entire cake for our clinic free of charge such amazing staff and management thank you again
I ate at Portillo's for the first time ever at the Sycamore location & loved the Italian sausage & beef with hot peppers. The chocolate cake shake is to die for. So glad that Rockford now has one.

Portillo's is the best for Chicago dogs. Hands down. We went to Gene and Judes a week before to have a good basis for comparison. Portillo's wins!
It does take some time to actually get your food, but it is worth the wait, and the deserts are AMAZING!!!
I was told that if I ever came to the Chicago area I HAD to try Portillo's, I'm SO GLAD I did because it was one of the best places from our visit. I had the Italian beefs and sausage sandwich (with cheese and both kinds of peppers) along with a jumbo dog (grilled onions no tomato), fries and a drink. I honestly thought I'd just be getting another all beef Kirkland hot dog with some stuff on top, but that's not what I got AT ALL. I don't know what they do but that hot dog was perfect! I've had Italian beefs but not like this, It was LOADED with peppers and cheese and the sausage was perfectly cooked. I've had places really undercook their sausage and that ruins it, but NOT HERE! When I'm back in the area, I'm definitely going back here!
I had never heard of this place until I was in Illinois visiting my in-laws, but I was very impressed. I had only had a Chicago style hot dog at a Cub game many years previously to this trip. My meal at Portillo's was much better than the Chicago hot dog that I remembered from the past. This restaurant also has a neat history with several past celebrity visitors. This is documented on the walls of the restaurant by signed photos and other memorabilia. Be sire to give this place a try if you are visiting or driving through the area!
Busy chain restaurant. Great menu selections. Awesome prices! Upbeat attitude from all workers. I had the Polish Sausage Dog with extra hot peppers and sweet peppers.
Now I get what everyone is raving about when they talk about the food here. I had the beef and sausage sandwich and it was Delicious. Truly unique to anything I've ever had. The gravy is amazing. If you're OK with a messy, soggy and delicious sandwich then go to Portillo's.
Always good here. My son really loves it he comes all the way up from Atlanta Georgia and wants to eat here every time he comes home.
First time visiting and loved it! The beef and cheddar on the croissant was amazing. And the chocolate cake is a must have! I wish we had one in NC.
First time eating here. The staff were phenomenal, but this one lady working the seating area was the nicest, most informative, hardest working lady! I was extremely impressed with her work ethic and kindness! Unfortunately I was unable to get her name. I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. The people and food were fantastic. I will definitely stop back there, every time I am in the area!
