Portillos is noisy and chaotic. The noise is so distracting I can't really taste the food.
Went once, no desire to go back.
Guess I'm getting old.

Agreed on that. Hard booths and horrible acoustics. I actually hate the whole 'standing in line with a herd of 50 people' thing too. I only do takeout there any more.

I thought it was a sit-down restaurant? I'm beginning to think I'll just skip it too.

It is. After you stand in a line with the herd of people.

Its like a Penn Station.

Our on and only experience too. The food wasn't that good anyway.

I might have to go to Portillo’s twice this weekend—once for an Italian beef combo and again for a cheeseburger. They’re not noisy and chaotic right now.

Ah okay. I don't mind Penn Station. Still, the noisy and chaotic part doesn't really appeal to me (from Doug's post earlier).

Good point! I guess this would be the perfect time to try them if I was going to.

I'd rather go to Penn Station than Portillo's. Tried Portillo's once. Very meh. Won't be going back.

 

[cbhausen]

Tough crowd! An INGO meet 'n' eat is tougher than herding cats! No wonder they're few and far between.

 

[femurphy77]

It is the spiced beef and the juice added to the bread. The giardenaria is a separate thing for the italian beef sandwich. You wacky southern [STRIKE]indiana[/STRIKE] people.

Get it right yankee!



And yes as a matter of fact I AM whistling "Dixie"!

IMPD officer arrested

After a local officer was arrested, Channel 99 asks the tough questions. Who makes the best cheeseburger in his primary jurisdiction? What really makes an Italian Beef an Italian Beef, and how it not inferior to a Philly Cheesesteak in every way? The FOP is declining official comment, but did say "Man, I miss tie-dye grill..."

Do they have a menu for lawyers and a different menu for everybody else? Askin' for the conspiracy theorists.

We went into BW's in Franklin one afternoon last year and the tv volume was VERY loud as was the jukebox, even more so than usual. Being two of the four customers in there at the time we asked if they could turn down the volume some; they responded with "well we ARE a sports bar". We got up and left.

Never had a portillo's Italian beef, but king gyro has a pretty good one.
Best one I've had was on the south side of Chicago at a place called Pisan's (sp)

I do have a King Gyros close to me, but all I ever get there is gyros. I haven't been there in a long time. That actually sounds good. Love me some gyros!

It's sit down if you could call it that. More like a cafeteria with hard wooden booths. One big room with about three different food lines going plus the pickup line, which is really just a mob in front of the pickup counter waiting for their number to be called.

It's not a Chuck-E-Cheese, it's fine. Don't go at a peak time if you're really sensitive, as it is a popular restaurant.

 

[WebSnyper]

Now I want fried chicken. A whole one.

Except Penn Station will bring your food to your table, at least the ones I have gone to. The Portillos by us you have to wait in the crowd standing to get your good. And as others have stated really loud. Not conducive for a good convo IMO, and somewhat over priced for what it is.

Funny, I've only ever had the double cheeseburger at King Gyro's. I think they call it the Big Baby. Love it. Never had the gyros as I don't like greek food.
