Portillo's & Barnelli's Chicago

"Loved this place. The staff, the ambiance, the vibe, and oh the food. Best Chicago hot dog we had during our trip. Even the fries were great. Definitely worth a visit. Much better prices than some of the other hot dog joints we went to and the food was even better here."

"This place was worth the visit D Double Lish. Ordered from the kiosk got our condiments while we waited and sat in the enclosed outdoor patio area. The inside was very cool with lots of history and things to look at. Everyone there was doing something everyone was busy no slackers here that I saw, all smiles too. So for the real reason we’re here the food was on point for my tastebuds wife loved hers as well. I had the Italian beef with gravy on the side with fries wife had the Maxwell with fries and root beer she said root beer was really good.(picture provided for more details on order) There are probably way better places I’m no expert but this was a hit for us. Definitely will make this a must stop on our food list next time we’re in the city with strong shoulders."

"Absolutely blown away by Portillo’s and Barnelli’s. The atmosphere is vibrant and cool, like stepping into a classic Chicago spot, but with a modern, welcoming vibe. We tried the hot dog and an Italian beef sandwich, and both were perfection – the dog was snapped perfectly with fresh toppings, and the beef was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, especially with the sweet peppers and a side of gravy,". "Seriously, run, don't walk – the food is incredible, service is friendly, and it's a must-visit for delicious hot dogs and Italian sandwiches that hit all the right notes!". We are sooooooo happy to discover them."

"Not the most appetizing photo, but the classic hot dog with all the toppings + a side of onion rings was a great meal. Hot dog wasn’t necessarily something to write home about, but had a nice snap and interesting mix of flavors. Onion rings were super crunchy and good with the comeback sauce. Reasonably priced for a touristy spot and very fast service. Ordered at the kiosk."

"Best Hotdog I had! I never had a Chicago hotdog before and I am so glad I tried it here. The pickles and toppings helped to bring all the flavors together. I liked the original hotdog than the garden hotdog. The texture in garden hotdog was more soft and I liked ghe original more because it was chewy. The employees were nice and we had our food quick!"
