My husband and I have visited the George O'Neal Road location frequently. They greet us when we walk in and there has never been a wait of any kind. I am stuck on the Beef Merlot Medallions in mushroom sauce....it comes with 2 sides....I order the creamed spinach and the potatoes....(mixed with cheese, bacon bits... and something else...it's delicious).

I went to Portabello's with some hesitation after reading the reviews on this site. I was however, pleasantly surprised and have now gone back a second time. I asked to speak to the Manager the second time I was there to tell him of my hesitation due to this website and he thanked me for taking the time to talk... more

This place is decent, but certainly not one of the better restaurants I have been to. I heard that they are part of a prisoner reform program and prisoners prepare the meals. Regardless of who prepares it, it's just not that good. more

Visited Portabellos with my family on a Thursday night. Since we only had 1 hour for dinner, placed order as soon as we were seated. Took 10-15 minutes for bread to be brought to table. After waiting 35 minutes, we asked for food to be boxed since we could no longer wait. Used a coupon and then was charged automatic... more

Portabello's is wonderful. Try the Polo Pizza. The gumbo is great and don't forget the sensation salad. When they bring your hot loaf of bread to the table, you will begin to see why the locals love this restaurant. The Lee Dr location is a little better than the George O'Neal but both are can't miss. more
