Italian Beef Sandwich Kit (Serves 8-10)

This was perfect to have the week of Thanksgiving, we didn't have to worry about cooking when the family all arrived in town on Sunday. Portillo's provided everything we needed - we just needed to get cheese. Everyone enjoyed the italian beef sandwiches. It was nice to have a piece of Chicago in AL.

We moved from Illinois to Tennessee, and miss going into the restaurant. But, still order it for special occasions. My wife and I grew up with Portillos!!! They need to build one in Nashville!!!!!!

As always, delicious. Tasted just like it does when ordered in store! 10/10 would highly recommend.

Great gift for anyone ! Really appreciated

Although I love Portillo's sandwiches I am very disappointed by the miniature rolls! I may not order again. We had decided to always have some sandwiches available in the freezer and would order another batch immediately when these are gone, but I'm not sure now whether we will do that.

I love this kit. It's amazing. I wish you would separate out the meat packages like you did the gravy.

I grew up in the Chicago area where Italian beef sandwiches are popular. They re much harder to find in the Atlanta area where I live now. For the 3rd time, I ordered Italian Beef for my family's thanksgiving dinner. It's a special treat. The quality of the mail ordered sandwiches is good and I'm sure I'll be ordering them again.

It was great. We’re from Chicago and miss Portillo’s

I like the gravy in the two bags vs. the plastic tubs. More convenient to save half for another meal. This was great and smooth delivery as always.

Food quality was terrific. We had two issues though. The sweet peppers were missing; we tore the packing apart but they weren’t there. and you used to provide instructions. Now there’s a QR code (not saving paper!) but it goes to videos of assembling the sandwiches but no step by step instructions corresponding to the gravy, meat, and bread reheating. We guessed from memory but would have preferred instructions (paper or online fine).

My husband is from Chicago and Portillo’s was always a treat when we’d visit, but having the opportunity to have it shipped to us (over 1500 miles away) and eat it with friends and family, is something we always look forward to. We all agree the taste is as amazing as restaurant. They’ve done a great job with the entire process (from purchasing, shipping, quality and ease to prepare) —we will surely plan to order again and again for more special occasions.

Beef is great! We have been getting for years, but this time they changed the rolls to small ones. Ruined the meal. If that’s what will ship with this from now on, we won’t be ordering again.

I ordered the Italian Beef Sandwich Kit and had it sent to my brother for his birthday in Massachusetts. He and his two daughters loved it. Thank you Portillo's for prompt delivery.

Sent to my brother for his 60th birthday. He and his family loved them. Everything was shipped perfectly and on time. Thanks for the great job portillos!

Delicious!! Tastes just like in the restaurant. I wish they packaged/portioned it a bit better (the gravy and bread are split into two packages, but the italian beef is all in one). And I wish mozzarella cheese was included :)

As a formerChicagoan I was happy to be able to order and receive Portillo’s. We’ve been ordering for at least 25 yrs and are very happy to find out that Portillos is opening in El Paso soon.

We get these every year for the night before Thanksgiving meal. Always enjoyable, always delicious. This years box had 16 rolls rather than the customary 8 to make 1/2 sandwiches. Good option. We would like more green peppers for 16 sandwiches, but we made do. We look forward to this every year being so far from home.

Sad to see that you do not supply the Italian sausages for the combs. We ordered every month like clockwork.

As a former resident and long time ordered/gifter, I read the comments and decided to pass on it. If you've changed the beef package to one huge one and are no longer using the 6 to 8 inch gluten rolls (I think Milano?), I couldn't stand spending the money for something everyone says is now subpar. I can get subpar here in Cincy, I ordered from you to get what used to obviously be good. We even traveled to Indy 2 yrs ago to go to the store. Truly a shame, as from the comments it doesn't appear to be a one off issue.

Shipped Beefs to some Chicago expats in Charlotte NC . Had kids back in town for Thanksgiving. Made beefs that Wednesday night said it was a home run and got 8 beefs out of the package. Will be shipping some to a brother for new years. Only problem and I may have missed somehow on website but would have loved to ship beef sausage combos but did not see it.

Fantastic value, even with delivery, and as good as going. This kit feeds 6-8 people and can be stretched more. The bread shows no deterioration from travel and when following the reheat instructions is fantastic. The meat, gravy and giardinera are what you expect and just awesome. Exceeded all expectations for mail order food!

I don’t like 2 lbs in one package too much beef. We eat 1 pound for 2 nights. Now I have to defrost the whole thing just to get 1 lb. Don’t like the little rolls either. Go right back to what you did originally, and if its price that’s causing this, then raise the price. We would buy it at a higher price, doesn’t matter. Very Disapointed! I buy this about once a month, so please try not to change things.

They delivered the package late it was spoiled and cooler broken. I did pay for expedited shipping, after 10 emails and three phone calls the would only get give me a 50% credit for this horrible customer service. I spend at least 3 - 4 thousand dollars a year with my personal and business. Portillos has gone down since the sale from Dick. I guess they find $60 more important than a good customer. So, BONA BEEF will be my beef place from now on

I wish the beef still came in two packs. The gravy comes in 2 packs, the bread (which is now mini and 2 packs rather than 1...which i kind of liked) is 2 packs....The beef is one huge pack. Which forced me to cook it all at once. I am just one person who moved away from portillos and wanted it for the holidays. I would have like to make it 2 different times out of the order. Please bring back the 2 packs of beef. Also the inserts were way out of date per what I had (the insert talked about 2 packs. It also directed to a website for more info/detailed instructions (like microwave) but the website didn't have all that the insert said it did and actually had less info than the insert. That all being said....it was delicious.

I have ordered this in the past, it has become a Christmas tradition with my new friends in Montana. The reason I gave it 4 stars this time is in the past the beef was broken up into 2 packages. The 2 pkg option worked better for me because I could thaw out just what I needed depending on the number of guests. Please go back to that way of packaging. I grew up with Portillo's when I lived in the Chicago area and ordering it is my little bit of home.
