Portillo’s Expands Breakfast Test Across Chicagoland

What I'm saying is that things must be going quite well for Portillo's and their campaign to bring breakfast to their restaurants. What started as just a test run for five Chicago area Portillo's is expanding, as they have added five more just today, bringing the total to ten.

Early Reviews of Portillo’s Breakfast Are In

I saw someone on Yelp review the breakfast at Yelp and they were very positive about their experience, saying:

My bottom line overall impression is that I would do this again for breakfast. My husband got the bacon, egg and cheese croissant meal deal with iced coffee and I got the Polish sausage, egg and cheese meal deal with hot coffee. We also bought two chocolate cake donuts that are a collab with Stan's. Personally, I am not a fan of Stan's donuts, but these were amazing and I would get one again.

  • Pepper, Egg & Cheese
  • Portillo's Chocolate Cake Donut w/Stan's Donuts

The menu looks good, and the reception thus far has been excellent, so how long before Portilo's breakfast makes its way to Rockford?
