    Best Sandwich Ever!!

    We have ordered these sandwiches 3 times now. Two times for ourselves and once as a gift. LOVE them! All four of us agree that this is the best sandwich we have ever eaten. We had half of the sandwiches last weekend during the Bucs game and are saving the other 4 for the SuperBowl as another special treat. Great product. Will order again and again.

    Beef is good, additives were too hot

    I like hot spicy foods - I use jalapenos on a lot of different foods. But I ordered this without realizing it was hot, and when we made it, was a bit disappointed that it was like that. I was thinking more along the lines of Philly Cheesesteak style. But I've never had the original, so this is all I had to go on.

    Just like being at home in Chicago

    Portillos Italian Beef sandwich kit exceeded my expectations. The sandwiches tasted exactly as they do in the restaurant. My only complaint is the sweet peppers sent were not split into 2 packages like everything else. The 2nd pound of beef in my freezer will be topped with my attempt at pepper recreation. I ordered this as a Surprise for my husband for Father's Day, but truth be told, it was really for me.

    Italian Beef

    I purchased an Italian Beef kit and it was delicious my family really enjoyed it. I was born and raised in Chicago. I join the MILTARY and have been moving around a lot but there's one thing I miss and will never forget and that's Portillo Italian Beefs I only wish we had one in Columbia Sc, until we do I just have to order another kit. Keep up the good work!!

    just like when I was a kid..

    I've ordered from here several times and sent it to my brother in Colorado. This time I was visiting from Texas and was able to share in the feast. I just closed my eyes and we were back home again at my Ma's house eating off TV trays with her! Thanks guys..I'll be back!

    Amazing

    I live in NY where there is no shortage of good food. The Portillo's sandwiches are amazing. You can't get something like this just anywhere. I love that you can mail order food. If in your travels you find something you like, if it's popular enough there's a good chance you can find it online. There pizzas are pretty good too. I ordered two with the sandwiches. I still prefer getting a fresh pie here in NY. If you live somewhere that doesn't have good pizza these are great.

    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!
