About us
Hot dog! Since 1963, Portillo’s has been serving unrivaled Chicago street food in nostalgic themed restaurants. Get your buns ready for some delicious food! Will it be our classic Chicago-style hot dog or our legendary Italian beef sandwich with home-cooked sweet peppers? Perhaps you’re in the mood for one of our char-grilled burgers or a chopped salad. No matter what you order, finish your meal with a slice of our fresh-baked chocolate cake or a chocolate cake shake. There’s something for everyone at Portillo’s! In 1963, Dick Portillo and his wife Sharon invested their life savings of $1,100 into a hot dog stand called “The Dog House” in Villa Park, IL. The Dog House didn’t have running water or a bathroom. Dick had to run garden hoses from a local business to get the water he needed. The menu was simple – hot dogs, tamales, fries and a coke, all for under 35 cents. Through Dick’s hard work and determination, the Dog House evolved into Portillo’s and has become what it is today. Come and enjoy our legendary food served by the friendliest people in the business. Even better? Join our growing team!

We’re thrilled to share our latest cake flavor: the Salted Caramel Spice Cake, our first in 20 years! This latest seasonal offering combines your favorite fall flavors — warm spices and a salted caramel. To give you a behind-the-scenes look at what makes this cake so special, WBEZ Chicago's Esther Yoon-Ji Kang chatted with Garrett Kern, Vice President of Strategy & Culinary, where he shares the inspiration and process behind this delicious new addition to our menu. https://lnkd.in/g9RZ-y4C

We have bun-believable Team Members, like Mike, who love to bring the Portillo's experience to life for our guests! Thanks Yaro Tsyhanenko for sharing your experience!
This is what hospitality looks like. It’s not something that can be taught. It’s all about passion and loving people. Meet Mike. He’s 77, retired long ago, and could be resting on a sofa. Instead, he continues to serve, greeting everyone with a smile and remaining the most important person in a store, providing that essential human touch. The entire industry stands on the shoulders of such incredible people. Thank you, Mike! #restaurant #hospitality #people

Portillo's reposted this
For the last few weeks, I've had the chance to work on the Pokey’s Pals Contest with Portillo's. It invited our online audience and their furry friends to show off their love for Portillo’s with a photo. People got so creative building versions of the original Dog House, making costumes, and posing with our delicious food! The Pokey's Pals Contest not only allowed me to see hundreds of adorable dogs, but also introduced our community to Pokey, our longtime but little-known mascot and beloved dog of our founder, Dick Portillo, who inspired the original logo. 🐾 10 finalists were selected and everyone gets to vote to decide the winner! Check out all the cute pups and vote for your favorite: https://lnkd.in/ePUJrgea
