Parking can be tricky. Located in the heart of Hinsdale, south of the train tracks, parking is hit or miss. After you find an open parking spot, you might have to walk several blocks to FH. The best part about FH is the outdoor seating, 2 different sides of their corner building: beer garden or barricaded street seating. Over the last year, we have eaten here several times. The food is always good, but the service is on/off. Sometime our server is nice other times rather short tempered. I don't think we have done anything to offend, but the personality is wildly inconsistent. The food has always good, especially the salads.

Stopped in around 6PM on a Friday. No problem getting seated even though it looked pretty full. Server was accommodating for us to switch chairs (the high tops felt very smooth and I kept thinking imma slide right off!) Our server was great, great recommendations! Could've used a bit more water, but other than that everything was great and tasty!

Food was amazing and price isnt too bad for the quality and great service. Our server, Johnny H was one if the finest server i have had in the last 10 years. He was knowledgeable , pleasant, witty, and in the spot. It made for a great lunch. The food...everything we had was amazing. The animal style fries are worth going here in their own. The brisket grilled cheese is from another world. Highly recommend.

I have been to Fuller House a few times, each time leaving super impressed by both the service and food, so this review is much overdue. We came on a Sunday during lunch and had to wait about fifteen minutes for a table and opted to sit at the patio. They did a great job making a reasonable size space accommodate many tables without having it feel cramped. Large umbrellas provide shade, which is always nice. We started off with the Woodfire Pretzel Twist. It was your standard Bavarian pretzel, but the green chile queso dip it came with was to die for. We also ordered their nachos, which were enough to feed five of us and have us feeling almost too full for our entrees. They were loaded with the same green chile queso, fire roasted corn salsa, pickled fresno, guacamole, and a chipotle sour cream. I am a fan of spicy dishes, and this definitely had a strong kick to it! All the different flavors and textures melded beautifully together. As far as our entrees, this is what all us ordered; Salmon La Puebla Salad, Derby Winner Burger (topped with yellow cheddar, bacon, crispy onion rings, and bourbon bbq), and Day + Night Burger (topped with a sunnyside egg, bacon, stout onions, white cheddar, and garlic mayo on a brioche bun). Everyone could not stop raving about their food. I ordered the Salmon La Pueble Salad, which was a spin on a traditional caesar salad. The romaine was grilled and had the perfect char on it, which was complimented by the creamy chipotle caesar dressing. It served as the base for grilled salmon, and topped with avocado, parmesan, cherry tomatoes, corn, and sourdough croutons. This is my go to order at Fuller House and I always order a side of truffle parmesan fries to eat with it. The fries are heavenly, with a bit of Calabrian chili peppers on, adding another element of flavor. I also want to note that despite being packed and super busy, our server and waitress was very helpful, accommodating, and super friendly. I noticed all the staff had smiles on their faces; it is always nice to see a happy staff. Anyways, long story short - Fuller House is a MUST!

Place was so cute! Aesthetically pleasing. We did not eat in due to a longer wait list on a Friday afternoon for just twice, place does get really busy but food service was still great for our take out. Was a bit noisy when waiting for our food, so i would not recommend for those who prefer a quieter meal. Great place overall :)))

I would say for most restaurants there is a good time to go to beat the rushes. But this restaurant is always super popular and busy. They have ample seating outside, but if you'd like to get a table inside, you may have to wait and rightfully so this restaurant has one of the best menus with some of the best food you could get at any restaurant. This place was so good and I have now stopped here twice in a weeks time. on my first visit came I came around 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The patio was already very busy. I had heard about their famous in and out style hamburger and needed to deathly try that. I also ordered one of their appetizers and a corn appetizer that came with pita bread and chips. The service is very good. Also here I'd love that they give you a full bottle of water on your table. I think all restaurants should do this. It helps with restaurants are very busy and you would like to have something to drink and not wait on your waitress to bring you, more water. The downtown area of Hinsdale is super popular during the summertime. There are so many cute restaurants for you to try out. I really like the area. My hamburger arrived to the table and it looked a picture. Perfect. There was their take on animal style sauce on the hamburger and also on the fries and they also had caramelized onions on the fries just like in and out but extremely elevated. The meat melted in your mouth. The fries were absolutely delicious. The caramelized onions added a nice sweet flavor to the salty fries. Hamburgers definitely something I will come back for. The corn appetizer was also extremely delicious. The only issue is that the hamburger is so large and filling that is hard to justify ordering an appetizer. On my second visit, I wanted something a little lighter and they have some of the best and freshest bowls that you can order. I went with the steak and rice bowl and my wife went with the Greek chicken bowl. My steak was so tender I barely had to chew it. The veggies were all extremely fresh the rice and their sauce that they put onto my bowl was so good. I tried a bite of my Wife bowl and the chicken everything included was so fresh and tender. I definitely say you should stop by this restaurant in the summer months to enjoy their patio, but even if the weather does get cooler check them out for some of the best food you can try restaurant. I give a rating of 9 out of 10. Definitely check this place out for yourself

A lot of establishments do burgers well, so it's impossible for me to pick a favorite. However, for me to say this is one of the best burgers I've ever had is a HUGE compliment. Other people have said that this burger is reminiscent or even better than an In-N-Out burger. Unfortunately, I can't compare, but I'm sure this will help some people. I love the sauce that is available on this burger. It is vaguely reminiscent of Big Mac sauce but better. Equally as good as the burger are the parmesan truffle fries. Parmesan cheese is applied, and then the sauce comes on the side. I love that the sauce comes on the side. A really good French onion soup is available. I noticed a wood fired pizza oven, so if you ordered one of those I bet it would be good. Unfortunately, it was hot and humid the night I went so I did not sit outside. The outdoor patio looks nice. Next on my list to try is Pierce Tavern in Downers Grove because it is owned by the same people and the reviews look good.

Delicious! We were able to get a cozy seat on the patio and were definitely enjoying the ambiance. Then a big storm rolled in. The server handled it brilliantly and we were inside with our food and fresh waters and silverware. We enjoyed the: Small size pretzel Caprese Sandwich with grilled chicken and chips Chopped Salad Italian Sausage with Giardinera Kids Shrimp and fries Cookie Skillet Bourbon Banana Pudding If I were to sit down and eat there all over again I think I would order the biggest pretzel they had, the chopped salad, and the banana pudding. The pretzel was the best I think I have ever had at a restaurant and it comes with a warm pimento cheese, a green chili queso and honey mustard. The dips were delicious and the pretzel definitely tasted homemade. (Keep the rest of the dip for your chips or fries!) And the banana pudding was DIVINE. I want another. And it was only an hour ago. I think I will dream of it. The menu was creative and everything we ate was so good. The restaurant was really well designed and I loved the whole design. We would definitely be back if we were from the area!

Really cool place We sat at the bar and it felt like we were sitting on an old Viking ship. There were modern amenities like flat screens that were attached to some old wood beams held together by thick rope. There's also a cool outdoor patio which is nice in the warmer months. You're probably more interested in the food. We got burgers here. I thought they were pretty good. Not the best burgers but not the worst burgers.....so Just good. Sitting right at the bar allowed us to get quick service and drinks. The ambiance and atmosphere was good and fun to hang out and have some drinks. Laid back and relaxing.

Fuller House is a very vibrant and energetic pub house in old downtown Hinsdale. It has a great reputation in the near west suburbs and our catchup party of 3 found that it lived up to its reputation and we had a mighty fine pub dinner here. You could also call it a sports bar as every seat in the house has a view of a big TV screen somewhere. It was pretty busy at 5:30pm on a Wednesday night and that is apparently normal. We got a nice table on their upstairs level, and that might have been perfect as it seemed a little less noisy, though still busy, than the energetic ground level where the big centerpiece bar was. Anyway their beer list is decent, and the 3 of us had beer and burger dinners and it was all top notch delicious. We also shared a delicious cheese curd ($12) and small pretzel ($9) appetizer order. I for one had a couple of the Noon Whistle A Little Bit of the Old Razzle Dazzle Hazy IPA's ($8 each and 6.0% ABV) and their Day & Night burger with fries ($17). I don't often have two of the same beers given various choices, but I really liked this Noon Whistle hazy IPA! One colleague had a Hop Butcher Tomato Wedge pale ale ($10 and 6.0% ABV), a Noon Whistle Razzle Dazzle hazy IPA ($8), and their Spitfire burger and fries ($16). The other colleague had a Hop Butcher Tomato Wedge pale ale, a Dovetail kolsch ($8 and 4.6% ABV), and their American burger with fries ($15). They don't take reservations for parties under 6, but there is a Yelp waitlist that can be helpful but we didn't need it. I was lucky and parked right across the street in a timely opening. Otherwise it's a neighborhood where you just have to circle around a little bit until something opens up and it's free parking everywhere. The reviews say the weekends are a mess for parking and I can believe it, so avoid the weekends if possible! Katie P was our server and she was friendly and attentive despite being pretty busy. A big thumbs up and I wouldn't hesitate at all to return here!
