Anyone try Portillos?

I went to Chicago in 2012 and after I tried Portillo's, I kept finding excuses to return while visiting. I really enjoyed it.

Now it's open in Orlando, anyone know if it's any good?

Yep, it's good. It's the same as it is in Chicago. Though I'm disappointed that they opted for generic 50's diner theming over the 1930's Chicago gangster theming many of their restaurants have. Also I could be wrong but I think the restaurants in Chicago have a bigger menu.

yeah I saw the generic 50s setup online, but good to know the food is good. Might have to make a point to drive out and visit.

If you want the 30’s style, you’ve gotta drive out to Brandon or Tampa. They have a few locations over there.

Really? I did not know that!

Sometimes we take a trip to visit Clearwater, so that is great to know.

How is the speed?

It's been my experience more often than not that Portillo's outside of the Chicago area move you through ordering pretty quickly but are pretty slowwwwwwww at actually getting the food out to you.

Heh, yah. I still remember them speeding us through the ordering stations like a conveyor belt, shouting about bun wetness and making up rhymes. Kinda fun experience.

Portillos is OG. Like White Castle, any location is a great location.
