I went twice to portillos and thought it overrated or was underwhelmed compared to the hype
I really haven't paid attention. We went there shortly after they opened. Food was ok but nothing special. But the atmosphere was not to our liking. Haven't been back.
I wonder if Mission BBQ opening next door had anything to do with it.

Portillo's is just OK food, often crowded and no longer is family owned. I am speaking of the locations in NW Indiana, Chicago area as far as quality. Most local hot dog/gyro type joints will match their quality at lower prices.
It started as a hot dog stand and now has extreme overhead in fancy buildings. When they build a new site they buy the land and then lease it back to a franchisee.

Stop a longtime Chicagoan on the street and ask him or her where the nearest Portillo’s restaurant sits, and the likely reply will not only include directions to the nearest eatery, but also suggestions of a few menu items to try. Portillo’s is, after all, a Windy City treasure, a...

As an aside, in my teenage years, the Putt-Putt that's there on North Main and the United Skates of America were my frequent date locals. There were really no restaurants there then- you had to go to Grape Road or McKinley.
We have a Portillos now but I haven't been there. Between looking at their menu, and the reviews I've read both here and on Yelp and other places, it's unlikely I ever will go there.
It was nice to see it open, I really like that place. Now if we could only get a White Castle.
I really like their Italian beef and their desserts. Hate the atmosphere. Hard, uncomfortable seating, loud, lots of commotion, horrible acoustics. Sort of frantic free-for-all at the pickup window.Portillo's is just OK food, often crowded and no longer is family owned.

Westfield is getting one next. We do the plumbing and HVAC on them so we always have a heads up on where they are going next...
Some of the office folks like their food. I’m not a fan. Seems overpriced for what it is.

@Snapdragon - I like Zels roast beef better and it's closer to you on Main St. In CP. Good shakes too.

When we would work out your direction we would always go to Zel's over Portillos for beef sandwiches. Haven't been to one in probably 5 years though.
Apparently me and Marvin think the same. Lol
OMG
i would love White castle in Fort Wayne
I liken White Castle to Coor's beer. I remember when Coor's wasn't available east of the Mississippi and had friends that would drive to St. Louis just to bring home cases of Coor's. Oddly enough, Stroh's wasn't available out west and people out there thought it was great and would do the same to get it. In reality, both were pretty crappy beers.
The people out west thought (knew) that Coor's was crap, and the people back here thought (knew) that Stroh's was crap, but since they were "forbidden fruit" so to speak for each, they had their own following in places where they weren't available. I would gladly give you one of our White Castles.
I really like their italian sausage. accidentally got the combo sausage/beef sandwitch. The beef was just "ok".
