text: I was a bit sad since I used to frequent the Uncle Sams that was here but all my regrets are definitely gone Portillos is a sick joint and I hope it is here to staynnTaking down the restaurant decor for a very open counter service restaurant Akin to something like Five Guys you can view the entire line of cooks from grill to tray service along half the perimeter They even have a separate counter for serving desserts nnThe title suggests hot dogs is the main attraction but from what everyone is been ordering and what the staff tells me the Italian beef attracts the most customers The gravy is excellent and the beef while succelent embodied all the classic flavors every Italian beef fan loves The bread does the sandwich justice but it is good but not great I personally like the combo which comes with an entire sausage in addition to the beefnnThe sides are not something to shirk at either The onion rings are super crispy and the crinkle fries work well with dat cheese whiz nnTo top everything off this entire restaurant even has a drive thru which totally worksnnThe menu is huge so I am far from exhausting my limit here I hear the salads are pretty good and I have got to try the namesake dish eventually However it is really hard to stay away from the Italian beef every time I come back
