Some Michiganders will no longer have to make the drive to Illinois or Indiana to get their Portillo’s fix. The restaurant chain, known for its popular Chicago-style food, has just announced it will open its first Michigan restaurant. The location of the restaurant will be at Hall Road in Sterling Heights, although it will be a while before it opens. Portillo’s says the 7,900 square-foot restaurant will begin serving food sometime in the second half of 2021.
“We have had Portillo’s fans asking us to come to Michigan for years,” said Michael Osanloo, CEO of Portillo’s. “We can’t wait to be a part of such a great, thriving community in Sterling Heights.” Besides its famous Chicago-style Italian beef sandwiches, Portillo’s serves like Chicago-style hot dogs, char-grilled burgers, cheese fries, salads, Italian sausages and more. Oh, and don’t forget to try their chocolate cake milkshakes.
