    Had an opportunity to visit Hinsdale, which I have been told is similar to Lake Forest but far from The Lake. Living in NS for decades, I see how there is a comparison, especially in their downtown area. Its the center of this priveleged community. From internet searches & reviews, this place peaked my interest. For a Wednesday night, it was packed, especially the bar area, so I was kind of excited for this food. The service was slow, nearly waited 10 minutes just to get a menu and another 10 to get water. Understaffed?? Perhaps, but not an excuse. Ordered the west coast double cheeseburger (not quite a smashburger as explained to me) and had the animal sauce on the side (it just a version of thousand island aioli). The burger was good but not exceptional. Had the fries with truffle parm, but the earthy truffle notes was nowhere to be found. And the truffle aioli wasnt much truffle either. Kind of disappointed when I have had some amazing truffle fries and exceptional burgers. Nonetheless, not a total loss, it was still very good as a double cheeseburger with fries.

    Fullers is a classic and they never disappoint! Went for a casual dinner and left full and happy. Started off with the cauliflower appetizer, and it was delicious. We got salads as the main course which were very fresh. Tried the animal fries but wasn't the biggest fan of them. Getting seated was quick, it took a bit to get our main course and check, but otherwise great!

    We have been to Fuller House twice in one week after our first time here, which says how amazing the food is. We literally came back just to be able to try more food from the menu. From drinks to entrees, everything is made fresh and couldn't be more delicious and the staff was super friendly too both visits. We already cannot wait to be back.

    We have never had a bad meal. Artichoke dip appetizer was very tasty. Burgers are always good, we have tried several over different trips. My bro was with us and he mentioned, several times, how much he liked his burger. I had the steak sandwich which I would recommend, great mix of flavors. They have a delicious drink menu as well. I would highly recommend you try them, you will not be disappointed.

    Really cool sports bar! Came in for Bear’s game on Sunday. The place was packed. Our server was really nice, sucha great!!! I was amazed by the menu choices. Drinks were super tasty. Highly recommend Agave Queen. I absolutely loved the beets salad. Perfect combination of veggies with nice vinaigrette. We will see you soon again.

    Fuller House Bar in Hinsdale is an absolute gem! From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond—Mallory, Anahi, and Ryleigh are true rockstars! Whether I had a question, needed a killer food recommendation, or was looking for the best patio seating, they were on it with enthusiasm and professionalism. The food was fire—crispy cheese curds, flavorful sliders, cauliflower bites, buffalo bites, and those loaded animal-style fries were unforgettable. The vibe on the patio was perfect for a summer night, with great music, great service, and even better company. This place is in a prime location in downtown Hinsdale, and I can already tell it’s going to be one of my regular hot spots. The menu has something for everyone (highly recommend checking out their dessert cocktails and seasonal pies too). Bonus: the ambiance is cozy but elevated, perfect for everything from a casual hangout to date night. See you at Fuller House—Hinsdale’s best kept secret that won’t stay secret for long! #FullerHouseHinsdale #HinsdaleEats #SupportLocal #PatioVibes #FoodieFinds #CheeseCurds #AnimalFries #SlidersAndWine #DowntownHinsdale #Foodie #ChicagoInfluencer #Influencer #LetsEat
