Fuller House

Super GemHinsdale (suburb) · American Community-sourced, unverified
📍 35 E 1st St, Hinsdale, IL 60521

The building at 35 E. First St. dates to 1929, built for hardware dealer Ray Soukup and run as the Fuller family's hardware store for decades before Sam Vlahos and his sister Patricia Vlahos-Segretto, children of a steakhouse and sports-bar family, opened Fuller House here in 2015 — their first full-service restaurant, leasing the space from the Fullers, who still own the building and whose name stuck.

The West Coast Burger is the order, and the bourbon banana pudding at the end is not optional — plan for dessert.

The rustic-meets-modern dining room runs two stories and seats 130, including reclaimed wood beams salvaged from Chicago's St. James Cathedral, with sidewalk seating added for warmer months. An in-house smoker handles the meat program, the bar carries 12 taps and 30 bottled beers alongside a serious bourbon list, and the cheese curds are the appetizer people keep ordering.

A September 2023 kitchen fire closed the place for repairs (about $300,000 in damage) before it reopened; the owners have since also opened a burger spot, Humble Patty, next door. Open daily, closing latest on Friday and Saturday nights.
