The Story

Glendale Heights' Halal OKC Smash
Fresh-ground, onion-smashed, underpriced.

FYVE BROS opened in Glendale Heights, Illinois around early 2025, staking their claim as the 'Home of the OKC Burger' in DuPage County's western suburbs. The concept is tightly focused: 100% Zabiha Halal, fresh-ground beef, house-made spice blends and sauces, and an OKC-style smashburger that quickly made it the highest-rated restaurant in Glendale Heights. The name 'OKC Burger' nods to the Oklahoma City-style influence on the smash technique.

The OKC Burger stacks two fresh-ground patties smashed hard on the griddle with onions pressed directly into the meat, topped with American cheese, fresh jalapeños, pickles, and FYVE's house-made signature sauce on a potato bun — all for $9.49. What sets it apart: the kitchen grinds all beef in-house daily, seasons with a proprietary blend, and serves 100% Zabiha Halal. The combination of price, quality, and halal certification fills a gap that few suburban smashburger spots address.
