text: Hi welcome to Portillos Try the salt its great we can even give you a beef sandwich or fries to go with that yummy salt while we prepare your tasty salt bombs you can wait overthere yes by all those other people listen careful for your number and please do not sit till we give you your food no matter how long that is going to take nnI could not wait for Portillos to open and after lunch today I feel I was duped It was not the plentiful and polite staff or the Disney esque big top meets roadhouse interior it was not what seemed like reasonable prices or even the hoards of crowds most restaurants only dream ofnnAlas it all came down to element number The food I had a hot dog with everything This shy dog was not too shy with the celery salt it completely over powered all other flavors As for the texture of that barker it was so soggy the bun seemed to drip off and the peppers so tough I had to take them out of my mouth The pickle on it was far bigger then the frank that just seems like reckless picklingnnMy beef sandwich was amongst the worst I have ever had The meat was dry and mealy The bread was lame crunchy on the outside and almost as wet as the dripping hot dog paste bun on the inside What struck me hardest was the massive dose of SALT Yikes I even like salt I could not get back in line and wait twenty minutes to try over so my lunch today hit the trash cannnI may have caught them on a bad day it was certainly a busy one but my first try will be my only try There are better options around town and with less circus
