Still new to Chicago and locals and visitors raved about this place. I finally made it there for lunch during the week.... totally hit the s...

Ate lunch at Portillo's with coworkers after hearing their rave reviews. I was concerned about the long lines when entering, but the line was quick and the atomosphere strong.

Whenever I am in Chicago, I make sure not to forget to stop at Portillo's! The Italian Beef sandwich as well as the Chedder & Beef crossaint are excellent. The chedder fries are the best I've ever had.
