    Great Service

    Ordered a Portillo Beef kit and had an issue with first shipment. Notified customer service and they fixed the issue by sending me another kit in the mail.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Italian beef

    I send Italian beef and all that goes with it to my daughter and her husband every year on their wedding anniversary. It never disappoints and they look forward to it every year.
