Portillo’s Willowbrook — Suburban Chicago at Its Best
The Portillo’s Willowbrook location sits on Route 83 (South Kingery Highway), one of the busiest corridors in Chicago’s southwest suburbs. This location serves a dense residential and commercial area that includes Burr Ridge, Hinsdale, Clarendon Hills, and Darien — communities with some of the highest concentrations of longtime Portillo’s fans in the entire chain.
The Willowbrook location follows the classic Portillo’s formula: generous seating, a full drive-thru, and the complete Illinois menu including Barnelli’s Pasta Bowl. The drive-thru here is generally faster than downtown Chicago locations due to the suburban layout, making it a preferred choice for weekday lunch runs from surrounding office parks.
Like all Illinois Portillo’s, Willowbrook also serves ribs — exclusive to Chicagoland, not available at any out-of-state location. If you’re comparing Willowbrook to Naperville, both offer the identical menu, though Willowbrook’s Route 83 positioning makes it more accessible for southwestern suburban commuters.
Italian Beef Sandwich
The Portillo’s signature — dipped in au jus with hot giardiniera. Order it wet, with hot peppers. The #1 seller at every Portillo’s location.
Classic Chicago-Style Hot Dog
All-beef frank on a steamed poppy seed bun with 7 classic toppings. No ketchup — this is how Chicago does hot dogs.
Chili Cheese Dog
Portillo’s rich beef chili and shredded cheddar on an all-beef frank. Add diced onions for the full experience.
Chocolate Cake Shake
Real Portillo’s chocolate cake blended with vanilla ice cream. 1,490 calories of pure Chicago indulgence. Non-negotiable on any Portillo’s visit.
Half Slab of Ribs
Illinois exclusive — not available in any other state. Tender, slow-cooked ribs with Portillo’s signature BBQ sauce. Order them while you’re here.
Cheese Fries
Portillo’s famous crinkle-cut fries smothered in smooth cheddar cheese sauce. The essential Portillo’s side at $3.89.

Not in TX/FL/AZ
Spaghetti
