Steve,

We were there Friday evening and everything could not have been better. Beef cooked to perfect doneness, crisp toasted bun, wonderful coleslaw-maybe the best in town, and perfectly executed fries. No shakes for us (yes, they're wonderful) as we took our maiden voyage to Rainbow Cones.

Is there a discernible difference in quality or product at the two locations?

No, but there is a discernible diference in ambiance, which sometimes effects percption of the food. The one in Beverly is the original and very old school. The one further west near Oak Lawn is in a strip mall. You make the call.

Tried 5 guys, Vernon Hills. 2 burgers & 1 order regular fries.
Whole order TOTAL CRAP. TO much grease. No taste.

The one in Beverly is the original and very old school.

The original was on 79th street. It relocated to 95th street but approx 1/2 a mile east of the current location.

The first 95th street location had a wonderful long, red "beef burgers" sign that stretched into the sky. New landlords genericized the retail facades and ordered the brothers to take down their sign. Which they did a few months before moving west to the current location.

As their kids got older one of the owners, Bill, wanted to set up the next generation and expanded to Oak Lawn. And I think Orland. One of the cooks left and opened a knock off in Evergreen Park which eventually closed.

But the "top notch" named joints are all Soulian family owned and make the burgers, fries and shakes the same way.

Even if the food is quite indistinguishable, Beverly is highly recommended, even though, as Auxen1 points out, its "authenticity" dates back only to-- well, the 70s, I'd guess by the look of things, something like that. Still, it has a certain charm the other lacks entirely. As I said in the GNR thread, the Beverly location is homey, and the other one, nursing-homey.

Used to live in Oak Lawn. Currently live 40-50 miles away.

Address in Oak Lawn.

These had better be worth the drive.

Thanks
