    Ordered for pickup one night during the week. I ordered the All American Cheeseburger and a side of garlic Parmesan fries. Pick up was easy and the gentleman at the counter was nice. I really enjoyed the burger, it was fresh and tasty. The fries however were dry and surprisingly very plain tasting even with the garlic and Parmesan. Maybe they would taste better ordered at the restaurant? A decent option for a burger, next time I'll try to dine in.

    The grilled cheese has an up-charge to put cheese on it. Are you kidding?

    Ordered delivery via their website. I hadn't heard of them before but we decided to give them a shot. The burger was ok; I had the Year of the Goat burger and unfortunately the bottom bun in particular was not right for the burger, at least for delivery, because I ran out of bun by the end. Maybe a pretzel bun would have been better but I didn't want the taste of a pretzel burger. It had a bit of pink inside although I ordered it well done. But overall it was a really disappointing experience. I was a little unsure right from the start. They had a kids item, the grilled cheese sandwich, listed for $4.99 online. But then when you add ii to your cart, it's $4.99... until you add cheese. If you choose ANY cheese, that adds 79-99¢. So to get a toasted cheese sandwich for the $4.99 price the restaurant advertises you have to order it with... no cheese?? My significant other ordered a burger with grilled onion, jalapeño, and bacon on it. But there was no onion or bacon, which was a $3 additional charge. I tried calling the restaurant to get a refund for the missing items, but couldn't get through. I called the humber on Google and it rang ten times before I hung up, then I went to the website and called the number listed there in case it was wrong on Google; that resulted in a recording coming on immediately saying that the party I called was unavailable. This was 30+ minutes before their stated closing time. Given that they lie about the price and up-charge to have cheese on a CHEESE sandwich, and that they can't get the order right on a burger that is literally the first one listed on the "build your own burger" section of the menu, I'm not going back nor will I recommend them.

    Looking for a place to eat in Des Plaines, I discovered this restaurant on Yelp. The inside of the restaurant was a little dingy. Food prices seem high. For 3 sandwhiches, it was about $52. It did take some time for our food, and we were dining in. However, they do have a super large menu. Beef, chicken, and vegetarian options. My burger was really delicious. If you aren't in a rush, give them a try. They were pretty friendly.

    Impossible cheeseburger with garlic parm fries were perfection. Easygoing ambiance, friendly staff that checks in regularly, and comfort food that really hits the spot. I'll be back soon.

    Skirt Steak Sandwich we received

    I have been coming to this business since they opened next door. We usually just order a burger but this time we tried other items We ordered steak tacos steak sandwich chicken sandwich and cheese fries I picked up the order and when I got home what we received was sad The tacos were falling apart onions not raw and no cilantro. No salsa was given The steak sandwich looked empty with few pieces of meat Chicken sandwich looked pressed down Fries was only thing that was ok but their dipping cheese looked like honey mustard. I didn't try that So we called to complain and the manager Edgar said I could come back to get a refund since I paid cash The next day I went back and Edgar was there but I was spoken to by another gentleman that was Rude He gave me my money. ( not complete. I gave them $60 cash and was given $39.88. Either way they told me not to return to their establishment Pictures One skirt steak example from their tic tok And one picture of what we received It's a shame

    Came in on a random evening as I was working in the area and was super surprised with how good this place was. The owner cooks the food which is always a plus, and everything tasted amazing. Good music, sports on, can't complain about a thing.

    We walked into a clean and roomy building and eyed the many options on the menu. The friendly staff took our order and was helpful answering any questions we had. I ordered the old fashioned All American Burger and it was piled high with meat and toppings. Beefy and full of flavor. At first I was a little disappointed with the Cajun fries. They were highly seasoned but a little mild for this southerner's palate. But then I dunked one into their ketchup and my tongue perked up. A touch of horseradish made everything come together beautifully.

    The service was amazing thank you so much to everyone. It was my first time here and def coming back. The food was fresh the French fries are to die for. They have a huge variety of cheese and options for those that don't eat meat! We also ordered a Chicago style hotdog but mom ate it before i could take a picture! Hahah Inside and outdoor seating which is great, place was very clean and organized. It's a must try

    Are your GF buns vegan? I can eat meat but not eggs or dairy. Also, does your buffalo sauce have dairy?

    Do you guys use the Creekstone Beef brand?

    I see there are gluten free options? Do you have a dedicated fryer only for fries? I am asking because I have celiac disease. Thanks

    Yes anything that goes in our fryer is gluten free. We are very serious about celiac

Just expect good food, fast. Their menu is simple: burgers, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, fries, pop, and milkshakes. The burgers come in either a single, double, or triple stack, with cheese. I got the cheeseburger and hubby got the two on two (double stack) and we were satisfied with the burgers. It was simple, juicy, grilled and good. The whole family loved the fries. Service was pretty fast, we got ours in less than 10 minutes. Dining tables are available inside to eat, and also a few tables outside in the parking lot if you prefer the outdoors. If you are familiar with the movie The Sandlot, they have their pictures all over the walls. Not sure if they are directly affiliated with the movie, but it definitely brings back that nostalgia. Overall, great burger joint and I would come back again!

For those who don't know, Small Cheval is the fast casual version of Au Cheval which I've had the opportunity to try in NYC. There's plenty of locations throughout Chicago so definitely make it a stop when you're in town. Now is it as good as Au Cheval? Definitely not but at one-third of the price point, it's hard to complain. The beef patties are well-seasoned with crispy edges and just the right amount of fattiness. My main complaint is that there wasn't nearly enough dijonnaise sauce or pickles, making this pretty dry. The bun was nicely buttered and toasted but almost took away from the contents inside the burger. The Famous Fried Chicken Tenders were also a good try. I could tell the chicken was clean & high quality but there was some flavor I couldn't quite place which made it a bit off-putting; thankfully it wasn't super noticeable especially with the sauces. The Golden Fries were delicious and paired well with the burger & tenders! Even the Cookies & Cream Milkshake was solid! Classic milkshake with a good balance of creaminess, sweetness, and texture from the cookie bits. The interior was also bright, spacious, and comfortable! All in all, really solid try!

    They are very good at what they do…read more This is a nice little elevated In-N-Out Burger type of place. The menu is very small, but their food is very good. It's like going to a burger place with a bar inside. I would also have to add with a side of a malt shop thrown in. The lady who took our order was very friendly. Both her and the guy making the shakes seemed competent and efficient. They were both just over worked. There was a rush when we came in so it put them behind. Everything was in good repair. There was no damage to the seats and tables and for the most part they were clean. The things that didn't work for me were the possible understaffing, and the lack of a good onion. I asked for raw onion on my burger. I inspected my burger for it and couldn't find it. So I asked for some more. She was very helpful and handed me a tiny container of minced onions. Apparently that's all they have. I do like a good slice of onion on my burger. If you're looking for a good quick bite to eat or a very tasty shake, this is a great choice! I would come back if the mood struck.
