Just Like Home
I am originally from Chicago. I moved to Memphis back in 1989 and have longed for the delights of hometown food. I was really pleased with the quality of Portillo's Beef. The food was fresh as if I purchased it from the restaurant here in town. Thank you for the memories!!
Keith(Memphis,TN)
Long time Dick Portillo Fan
I first became familiar with Dick Portillo's offerings back in the '60's when he started out in the wagon parked in the Zayre's parking lot on North Avenue in Addison. I took my boys there after little league games and it was the highlight of their day, even more than their game. Now they are all grown and send me the Portillo's Beef kit here in Texas on a regular basis. I am very grateful for the service and find the product just as good as if served in one of the restaurants. Keep up the good work!

Ex-Chicagoan who enjoys the great pan pizza, Chicago style beef and of course the Chicago dog. A day after craving these foods they arrive at our home on the west coast, and I feel I'm back home in sweet Chicago.

Fantastic Italian beef.
Great service.

like I remember
This kit brings a bit of my home town flavor to me in Pittsburgh, can't get beef sandwiches like the kit provides here....
Bill
Always delicious!!
This product was delivered not only on-time, but actually one day early. And it's always delicious for a family of four. Never stop ordering this!
David
Portillo's Italian Beef
Beef is exceptional, much like good pizza, Italian Beef is virtually non-existent here in Alabama. I would like to request that you offer the ability to purchase extra rolls for the beef, as 4 per tub is just not quite enough.... 6 or 8 per tub would be perfect.
Thanks - Craig

Discounts please
I would buy more if there was a loyalty, frequent buyer, or referral discount.

Excellent gift for new parents
Sent to help celebrate a new addition to the family. A much appreciated gift by mom and dad as they embark on their new roles. Portillo's not available in Michigan and the kids enjoyed having a special treat.
Kathy
Excellant!!
My husband and I LOVE Italian beef. Unfortunately we live in Florida. When we come home we pig out on the food and it's fantastic to know that I can still get the product shipped to me. Helps keep me from getting to home sick.
Kathy

BEST MEAL PLUS FAB CUSTOMER SERVICE!
I always love ordering my portillo's beef, it feeds a lot and everyone always raves about it. This year I bought it for a client Christmas present and he loved it, too! It's great for gift giving or treating yourself...as often as possible because it's affordable and delicious!

Our delivery
My Yuletide order of the Portillo's Italian beef kit arrived in a timely manner, however it seemed that the bag with the dry ice had popped and small pieces of the ice were all through the box. The top of one of the gravy containers was broken, but as it was still frozen nothing had come out. I think that maybe the kit needs a little more padding or something as this happened last year or the year before as well. Still, really looking forward to enjoying it on Christmas Eve. It has become a tradition.
Kevin(Coral Springs,FL)
Out of state Family wanted Portillos
My brother lives in Kansas and loves Portillos; so for his birthday I sent him an order. He was estatic over his gift! I heard about this on the Eric & Kathy Show 101.9 FM--I never knew this was an option! I ended up sending this to my older brother in California as well...they love Portillos, but who doesn't really?

Christmas Eve Tradition
For the last 8 years, we've ordered Portillo's Italian Beef and Lou Malnati's pizza for our Christmas Eve celebration just to bring a little bit of Chicago to sunny Florida for the holidays since we can't be with our Chicago families. Our friends love it!
Bob
Never a bad meal!
Although I didn't eat any the recipients did ! And they always want more !
Janet(Wauconda ,IL)
Better than I remembered!!
Bought these beef kits for my family and sent none to my mom who was born and raised in Chicago! We both loved them!! I was just in Chicago last summer and had a beef sandwich at one of the Portillos and though it was good I swear these were better with the fresh out of the oven rolls!! Great Christmas gift for that person who has everything especially if they re from Chicago!!!
Michelle(Jacksonville ,FL)
Delivery of product
Delivery was supposed to take 2 days. It got there after 6 days. Package was severely damaged and food was spoiled. Package was reordered and shipped for delivery today (27th).

Love these Beef's
We love the Portillo's Italian Beef's. They travel very well!!
JT(Gypsum,CO)
Better packaging needed
The taste of the Italian beef was excellent. Easy to make, but more rolls should be included. The only issue we had was that one of the gravy tubs was cracked from the top down. Thankfully the gravy was still frozen, so we didn't have any spillage.

Lisa(Savannah,GA)
Great gift
We love to order from these guys. As ex-pats from Chicago we get homesick for pizza, hot dogs, and Italian beef. There is no shortage of incredible food in Los Angeles, but whenever we go to Chicago we tend to plan our visits around our favorite foods. Being able to order from here we have introduced so many people to what real good food tastes like. We order for ourselves and for gifts. The food always arrives at the right time, is perfectly packaged, has directions are easy and accurate, and best of all- tastes so delicious! When you open your door and the UPS guy has that box from Lou Malnati's it just makes you feel super happy and not quite so homesick.
Dallas(Culver City, CA,)
I feel sorry for vegetarians
everyone has an ultimate food, the one they'd demand before the firing squad. If yours isn't a portillos italian beef sandwich, they should just shoot you now

Italian Beef
The plastic container holding the beef was broken and all of the contents spilled out into the styro container, thus rendering the beef useless to eat. Had to throw away.
Daniel(Henderson,NV)
THE BEST ANYWHERE!
The bread you can't beat! The flavorful beef & au jus is just to die for! Add some Mozzarella Cheese & you have yourself a perfect sandwich! Mmmmmmmmmmm!
I used to live across the street from Portillo's (Tinley Park, IL) & I was there at least once per week - maybe twice! Since we've moved....I'M HAVING WITHDRAWS!!!! Thanks to Tastes Of Chicago now we can still get it!

Italian Beef was excellent however, buns did not turn out well and green peppers were mushy. Had to run to store and get fresh bread and green peppers to salvage meal.
Dan(Highlands Ranch,CO)
Excellent
We were very pleased with the quality, price and delivery of the Portillo's italian beef kit we ordered. Everything arrived perfectly packaged, labeled with easy to follow directions and came out perfectly. There was more than enough meat for 8 sandwiches, the rolls were baked up very nicely, the peppers and giardiniera delicious. Will definitely order again. Moved away from Chicago 18 years ago and miss Portillo's! This is the next best thing to being there!
Ellen(Hayward,WI)
Super fine,
Even though our team lost, the dinner was a winner!
Bonnie(Estes park,CO)
Hummmm?
I wonder how this happened
Dennis(Vancouver,WA)
Hummmm?
I wonder how this happened. I've been ordering the Portilos Italian beef for years now and have never had this happen. The box arrived at the end of the two day shipping period and the box looked fine as usual. Upon opening it one of the packages of bread was defrosted and a bit damp. All the other items in the shipping cooler were cold and frozen. We tried to dry out the one pack of rolls but they weren't as good as the frozen pack. I don't understand how it could have thawed out. The dry ice in the box had evaporated and was not visible in the shipping cooler. We still enjoy these sandwiches and plan on ordering again.
Dennis(Vancouver,WA)
Italian Beef at Its Best
Great package as always
robert
Not as good as it use to be
The rolls are smaller and the jar of guardianera is also smaller
S
Beyond great!
My shipment was delayed due to a winter storm here in South Carolina. I was sure the Italian beef would be ruined. When my husbands gift arrived, it was so well packed for shipment everything was in perfect condition. My husband is a native of Chicago and was so pleased and surprised to have a taste of home. We will purchase again!

Italian Beef
Beef, peppers, juice and rolls everything was just the way we remembered it from our years living outside Chicago, you can't find beef like that in the south. It was fantastic and enough for not 8 sandwiches but 12 to 14 . It was my father's day gift to my husband and son.
Donna(Clayton,NC)
Great Gift
I sent a shipment of Portillo's beefs to my Dad for Father's Day (a native of Chicago now living in South Florida). He was so excited when he opened he box. Great gift idea!

Better than the Memory!
My daughter had a birthday delivery of Portillo's Italian Beef to her Boston home. She willingly shared it with several friends who now appreciate and understand her excitement. I can't believe that she shared her prize package, nor can I believe that one guy had lived and schooled in Chicago for a year and never had even tried Italian Beef! OMG!

I ordered this for my son for Father's Day. He and his family enjoyed it and reminded him of his trip to Chicago a few years back.
Ashley
italian beef
although the beef wasn't dry and tasteing like cardboard, like the last order, it just isn't like any I.B. sandwichs we had growing up in Chicago. The bread although tasty, becomes mush when gravy is added. We will eventually try your pizza and see if that brings back any memories? Thank you for making our 1st order correct!
Daniel Grace(Bradenton,FL)
Just like the real thing
Tastes just like the real thing!I feel like I'm in Chicago! I wish they offered good customer coupons, I ordered 3 beef kits last week and couldn't get a coupon code, when spending $240 at one time it would be nice for some little customer appreciation discount. But, the food is fantastic!

Not the first time we've had the Italian Beef, which is why we keep ordering it! Wonderful lean beef, great broth and the peppers just add to the whole experience. Rolls hold up well to the broth and get nice and chewy when soaked.

Sweet Home Chicago
Really enjoyed this Chicago beef. I live near a Navy base and most of the sailors were trained at Great Lakes and the ones I've spoken with really miss Chicago food as a whole and Portillos beef specifically. How about a franchise out here on the left coast. Everything was great, thanks.

Robert(Lynchburg,TN)
Disappointing
We've been fans of Portillo's Italian beef sandwiches for a long time, and looked forward to enjoying them again. However, the quality of the beef in our order was very disappointing. It was fatty, full of gristle, and reminded us of low-quality fast food chain meat. The gravy, bread, and peppers were all good, but the beef was not up to their usual standards.

Great reminder of home
I was watching the travel channel and suddenly became home sick. I realized how much I missed the variety of food that Chicago has. As a native south sider, I thought about how much I missed foods like gyros and Italian beef. Needless to say, I purchased the pizza and beef combo. I was so excited, when it arrived, I went to work immediately. I followed the cooking instructions listed online for the beef and everything came out perfect. I immediately went back to my days of visiting Portillo's in Alsip and Oaklawn. I would definitely recommend this pack to anyone that gets a littl home sick. You will not be disappointed. Now if I can only get Portillo's chopped salad and lemon poppyseed muffin delivered!

Chicago Italian Beef
We enjoyed our Italian Beef so much. We try and order it 3-4 times a year. Thanks
Vicki(Tullahoma,TN)
So glad they ship!
Have received several of the kits as a care package from my mom and we were very impressed with the quality. Followed the directions exactly - almost like a ritual. We can't get anything like this in Florida - certainly not the beef, but not even the bread or Giardinara.

My childhood
We had the Italian beef at an friend from Chicago. My wife started crying. The snadwiches reminded her of her childhood in Niagara Falls NY. Even the rools were as she remembered them. Needless to say we are now fans and sending kits to her sisters.

Pay up!
Every year I beat my boss beefs for cheesesteaks, and every year I pay up. One of these years the bears are going to have a better season than the Eagles! At least I know my boss is getting delicious beefs!
