This place does everything right: excellent food with generous portions, friendly servers, cozy atmosphere, good coffee, freshly-baked biscuits, homemade salsa...just go already! The omelettes are huge and stuffed with veggies, if that's your thing. You won't be disappointed, I always eat here for breakfast when I'm in town.

I've been to Portillo's in Chicago and figured this West Coast outpost would be pretty similar since it's difficult to mess up a hot dog. I was disappointed.We shared a sausage, hot dog, cheese fries, and a salad. The Polish sausage was fantastic, almost as good as the the original. The hot dog was okay, but their chili is loaded with beans. So gross. Nobody wants beans on their hot dogs! The fries were crispy, but the cheese was just a side of fake velveeta plastic cheese sauce for dipping, not melty, real cheese on top. The salad was awful, even though it was made fresh right in front of me. First, the description on the menu was wrong. I had gross lettuce and not romaine as described, and the walnuts on top were candied. That meant loads of added sugar that I didn't want or need. Nothing on the menu said they were candied. That could spell disaster if a diabetic ordered it!This location also doesn't have proper mustard for their wieners. They only have regular yellow table mustard, and no specialty mustards. That is a huge fail for a hot dog joint, if you ask me.

Such a fantastic place to spend some time with your family and friends. Atmosphere is perfect, but can be a bit noisy and worth ear plugs at times. The most amazing thing is they have a dog menu for my service dog. They serve his food in a dog bowl. He sits on the seat next to me.

I was in the area on business and I invited a local customer to lunch. He said no need to come by his office and suggested we meet here. It was my first time here and I'm sure glad he introduced this place to me. Everything was great. The food, the service, everything was top of the line. I had the halibut and it was great. I'll make sure I get back here the next time I'm in the area.

6 of us went to an early Easter Sunday dinner. We sat in the Bar. Our waiter had our drink order quickly and it all went downhill from there. The Salads were very good...the Bread was soggy. He didn't take our dishes off the table before bringing out our entrees. We had to get up and move our own dishes to another table. I ordered the Filet for $39.99 and the meat was tasty but came overcooked. My friend ordered the Halibut for $42.95 and it was so overcooked that she only ate half of it. The vegetables on all our plates were mushy. We were so excited to go here as years ago they had one in Belmont Shore that was wonderful. They really need to fix their food. I am sorry I tipped 20%...that was a mistake. This is my first 2 star review ever out of over 600 reviews.

Not too bad actually. Food is the classic comfort food from many casual restaurants, but here everything it's just better. Being surrounded by dog pictures is a bit odd, but not comfortable at any moments.

Their ribs do not have lot of meat on them, hence the title of my review. Their other meats - the brisket, pulled pork and chicken are dry and over-smoked. And they are expensive, given the quality of their food. This is a favorite among tourists, though. Dickey's Barbecue is a much a better choice, in my opinion.

Everything we ordered was excellent with the exception of the peach cobbler. Especially liked the mashed sweet potatoes. We had a friendly greeting and a very good waiter. Nice big booth which we requested. This restaurant is actually quiet, which is rare these days. Wish it was closer to home.
