Portillo's Kennesaw

The flavor was not like back home in the Italian beef but I know they can get it together. The hype definitely was here though people are definitely flocking to the new spot. As a local Chicago native the only thing missing was some flavor otherwise the chilli cheese dog was good strong pops and cool decor inside. I’d definitely come back or wait til Buford comes closer to me I drive 52 miles to check it out. It wasn’t all bad though nice family spot busy though parking and tables are limited due to the busy season. Great staff and customer service. Friendly people and nice atmosphere. Just need to tweak the flavor to like the one back home. Pricing is good and affordable. Quality products for the food just need that flavor like you can smell through the cold air in Chicago. It wasn’t no

First visit, ordered kids chicken tender meal with fries, chocolate milkshake and the plant based garden hot dog with onion rings. The vegan hotdog is phenomenal and has the bite and texture of a traditional hot dog. Grilled and smokey flavor. This is Chicago style with peppers, pickles and onions and I loved every bite. Poppy seed roll is perfect and holds everything together. Highly recommend! Chicken tenders are heavily breaded, not a fan, fries are pretty good, nothing special. Onion rings are very good, a little greasy. Chocolate milkshake is super thick and fountain style. Creamy, not too sweet, real ice cream. Delicious. interesting decor, this is fast food taken to a whole new level.

Portillo’s FINALLY is in ATL!!! Kennesaw to be exact. I love Portillo’s, been a life long relationship with orgins in Chicagoland! It has been crazy and super busy since it opened last month! Love it! Definitely need to open more locations. Staff are hard working and friendly. They always have have quality and tasty food in my opinion. The italian beefs dipped w/ hot and sweet peppers and cheese fry combo.. Perfection. Keep up the excellent work Portillo’s! Make sure to join their Perks rewards too for goodies ;)

Unbelievably delicious. From the Chicago Dog to the Chili Cheese Dog to the Fries with Cheese Sauce. Not a drop was left behind. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. What a great job Portillo’s! You set the bar very high. I can’t wait to return. And trust me, my return will be very soon.

Lots of traffic but easily found a parking spot. Got in line at 5:00pm and ordered by 5:07pm. Cashier was friendly enough, but they were out of the hot peppers which was disappointing. I ordered the Italian Beef Dipped with Sweet Peppers (wanted sweet & hot but they said no hot). My husband got the Chicago Dogs. I also got a side of cheese which was a good price for the amount. Dining room drink machine was out of ice, but they quickly got us some from behind the counter. Inside was very very loud so we sat outside, luckily a nice day! We got our food by 5:24pm which was pretty quick considering the amount of people in the lobby and drive thru. Italian Beef was great but it definitely needed the hot peppers. Chicago Dogs were great, very flavorful. $30 total for two meals plus the cheese.
