I am a HUGE Portillo's fan! Use to like going to Great Chicago Fire Brewery for the Italian Beef and actually went there often until the loud and sometimes vulgar bar trade got to us. Actually liked the Italian Beef, which they got shipped in from Chicago, but it just was not a pleasant environment to enjoy food. We stopped going! I do give the owners credit as they TRIED to control the bar crowd (without any known prompting from the restaurant patrons) but it only worked for a short time before they were back to being loud and disgusting. Really hated to take them off our dining list! On the brighter side, Portillo's has THE BEST Italian beef available anywhere and is a Family place. Can't wait!
