Freeh's Again

I drove by the bar today.,....haven't been there in a few months.....and there were 'sorry, we're closed' signs in the windows.  Have they closed their doors for good?  Does anyone know?????  The phone just rings and rings....no answering machine.

So I bellied up to Freehs because I had been informed that they had the best burger in the south burbs and being the ninja that I am I just had to check it out.  Now I don't know if I would really call this a dive bar.  More like someones basement with the old bar set you would sneak down with your friends and nip in the parents booze.  I arrived around 730 PM. to a warm greeting by the bartender.  There were about four people in the bar and they were all obviously regulars.  I asked what was on tap and he went through the extensive list of selections.....Miller High Life and Miller Lite.  I choose the later as the lesser of two evils although between the two its like choosing the tallest midget for your basketball team.  The bar was clean and the beer was cold.  I ordered my burger with everything and it came from the kitchen in about 15 minutes on wax paper, in a red basket with a bag of chips.  One bite and I knew why they have such a great reputation.  The burger was fresh, hot and moist.  Cooked to perfection and I really enjoyed it.  There was a perfect amount of salt and pepper and it was nice and thick.  I normally go with fries because I am a potato addict but it wasn't offered and to tell you the truth I really didn't miss them.  All total I spent 6bucks on a cold one and a great burger which isn't bad at all.  I know the new thing in the south burbs is the number guys burger but this one beats them out hands down.  If only it was BYOB so that I could bring in some REAL beer !!!

Like others have said this is a place that is really known by it's regulars kinda like a low rent cheers kinda place. The people are friendly but the stand out are their superior burgers served with chips not fries the hand-packed blue cheese burgers are the best I have had anywhere and the best part is the price at less than 5 bucks OMG they can't be beat! If you are in the area stop by grab a brew and a burger or just grab a burger to go I promise you will not be dissapointed !!!!!
