Why are you not considering putting a Portillo's in the Lakewood Ranch Florida area East of I-75 between University Parkway , State Roads 70 and 64?? Having to drive 35 to 45 miles to Brandon or the St Pete area is not fun and we questions why you are not expanding here?

Question for Marketing on Florida

We have always loved Portillo's going back to the 1960's in Illinois. Now , living in Lakewood Ranch Fl area we have to drive 45 miles to Brandon.

Why have you not pushed to have a Portillo's in one of Florida's most popular increasing living areas of Lakewood Ranch which sits ring in the east of I-75 between University Parkway and State Roads 70 and 64 a tremendous growing area with thousand of homes going up.

Already Costco and Target and Yale House and other businesses are going in East of I-75 in the last year . Why have you not looked at this area for your great restaurant?

I am not a dissatisfied customer just dissatisfied your are not expanding the the Lakewood Ranch areas of Sarasota.

Not happy

Order #358 01/06/2024 6:49 PM Shamika (my Portillo worker name on my order ) lacked to COMPLETELY fill my order that was placed. After I came home to find my half order filled, I called to talk to management and Shamika claimed she was the "General Manager". Very hard to believe she had ANY management skills due to her terrible response, rudeness, and truthfully, really did not care. This is NOT the first time there has been a problem at Portillo- Crestwood!!! Marion Thompson 708-974-****

Poor and tasteless customer service.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I went to the Portillo's drive thru at around 9:45 and got there with time to spare. I am an amputee and obviously went through the drive thru for that reason (couldn't get out of the car). As I approached the attendant, I placed my order. When I went to pay, she told me she couldn't take cash. When I explained that I was missing a leg and had now way of getting inside, she giggled and said that's not my problem. I've been an amputee for 2 years now and this was the first time ANYBODY had made me feel like I was an inconvenience. If only they knew how I got here.Sad

Italian beef sandwiches were okay. But not so the chocolate cake!

Not as moist as previously plus skimpy on the frosting. I know chocolate cake and this was a big disappointment. When a large corporation buys a restaurant, they only look at the bottom line to achieve maximum profit. Recipes get changed to achieve this.

Unfortunately, Portillo's is no longer what it once was. Too many mistakes with orders and management refuses to take responsibility. So short sighted!!!

Eliminate your stupid "I am not a robot" So old fashioned! Bolingbrook Portillo's

Bad experience today - others in the past also.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Today, stopped at the location in Elmhurst, IL. Went inside to order for a takeout.

Ordered two beef sandwiches, small fries and a cheese. Also ordered giardiniera on the side. Ordered 2 chocolate cake slices also. Got home and there was no giardiniera.

My beef was so skimpy, that I was going to go back to the restaurant. Too far really to do that. Cooled down a little and ate what we had. My wife calmed me down a little.

Decided to enjoy the cake a litttle after eating - my wife had EGG SHELLS in her cake! We threw them in the trash. What the *** is happening Portillos??? I have had issues in the past a few times with wrong orders in the store and bad attitude employees.

It also seems like the skins on the hot dogs are not what they used to be. Can't hardly bite through them!

Portillos - you are losing a long-time Bewarecustomer. Better wake up!

Preferred solution: Just improve

User's recommendation: Better watch your orders - double check. Not sure what to say for eggshells in the chocolate cake.

Emails

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Portilllos writes on their web page, We want to hear from you.

Yet it is Impossible to leave any comment or talk to any one by phone or email. They truly don't want to hear from their customers.

For 5 months they send me emails .

. . NOT ONE email can I use or does it entice me or family members to their establishment.

Most of them are all about catering. We stopped going there.

Forgot they even exist, except for the obnoxious emails they send out weekly.

Actually, the emails backfire and because do not go there anymore.

I've noticed driving by (several locations, in my MN area) business looks down, by lack of autos in their parking lots. Not surprised.

Customer service is crap

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Portillos - Customer service is crap
Do NOT order delivery through them. If the driver doesn't pick up your order, they'll cancel without reason, you'll have to jump through hoops to get an explanation, then good luck getting a refund for NOT getting anything. Also if you try and call the store, they'll hang up on you. Grub hub contacted them to refund me and they did, then charged me anyway.
