Q: Do not be fooled by the food network propaganda of this place. It has the potential to be a really cool place, but unfortunately it is a tacky venue with a dead atmosphere and awful food. I visited this place because I had read about it online where it was advertised as an upbeat novelty restaurant where you can customize your hamburgers to be as unhealthy as possible. Cool so far, right? WRONG! Here is a short list of grievances: * No credit cards accepted. SERIOUSLY? We are in Vegas and live in the age of Square and Intuit card readers that cost nothing to set up. Judging by the ATM at the door that charges $5 to withdraw money, I say the owner is trying to make up lost revenue from a poorly run restaurant. *This is supposed to be a novelty restaurant: fun, upbeat and borderline riske with naughty nurses running around. Well, you get none of that. The waitresses looked like they are miserable and just go through the motions. They are supposed to 'admit' you into their clinic with some fanfare, but instead all they do is put some shady patient gown on you that smell like cigarettes. Nothing like what is advertised Food: Nothing to write home about. Sure, you get a lot of blah on your burger, but none of it tastes any good. In fact, some fast food burgers taste better. For a burger packed with fatty cheese and bacon it is sure missing the taste and flavor needed to make it memorable. Overall a disappointing experience. The owner of is placed probably invested millions in all the decor and paraphernalia in the restaurant... He should try to invest some money in training and getting a better staff.

Q: I'm not from Chicago, never been to Chicago (although it's near the top of the list) and never heard of Portillo's before it opened up in Scottsdale, so I'd say I'm pretty unbiased. Tried the italian with sweet and hot peppers and gotta say: it was damn good. I might get it with extra gravy next time because it might have been a little dry, but other than that the meat was great, the peppers were great, the bread was great. My gf had the chili cheese dog and she was impressed. The place is packed, but things move along rather quickly. I have a feeling this is the kind of place I'll be craving.

Q: I eat here way too often but that is not a bad thing. Portofino's is one of my Charlotte favorites...probably top 5. It's not the fanciest restaurant but the perfect neighborhood restaurant. Great for when the family comes to town or just Wednesday night take out. Very hard to go wrong as everything I have tried (and I've been more than 80 times) is consistently good and large enough portions that my wife and I always split the entree. Our go to is Chicken Sorrento, angel hair pasta and an extra side salad with house dressing on both. Let me say a few words about the house dressing. I look for foods to put that dressing on it is sooo good. It's a creamy, tomato, garlic of some variety. Perfect for salad dressing or just dunking the homemade bread in. Other favorites are the lasagna, the Chicken Portofino, the Chicken Parmesan, grilled Chicken Salad, the tomatoes with fresh mozzarella. They also have a special house wine, Portofino Ripasso. Of the 80 plus times we've eaten Portofino's, 85% have been take out orders mainly because we live so close but also because the food tastes just as good at home as in the restaurant. Love this place!

Q: After eating at IN & OUT burger for several years I can say without a doubt that they deserve a 5 star rating! Great burgers and fresh fries. Always somebody cleaning the dining area, great service and I've never had my order messed up! They are PACKED just about all day long and I can see why.
