    Mozzarella Sticks...frozen and very bland...no seasoning
    Mallory Q.

    My family and I were in the mood for a Burger and was near the Northside. We decided to check out Choppers because someone said their burgers were pretty good....WELLL...SOMEBODY LIED!!!! I placed my order at the counter 1 Charbroiled cheeseburger, 1 double cheeseburger, 1 order of French fry, 1 Malt, and an order of mozzarella sticks for my son. After ordering, I paid for my food and stepped to the side and within 2 minutes all of it was ready. THAT WAS THE 1ST RED FLAG. I was wondering how did they have my burgers ready within 2 minutes. My husband immediate noticed the burgers were FROZEN PATTIES AND WERE ALREADY PRE-COOKED..When we order they removed the patty from a warmer and placed it on a grill. The burger was a perfect rectangle thin shape.which tell me it wasn't fresh beef. You cant possibly char-grill, and make a fresh burger in 2 minutes and 11 seconds. The fries were the best thing I ordered out of the entire meal. They were fresh and steak cut. The mozzarella sticks were bland and frozen! My malt contained too much syrup and was nothing to write home about. I will never return back to Choppers simply because the burgers are only put on the grill to melt the cheese and quickly taken off! Disappointing for $11!! They should be ashamed of themselves serving those super thin, underseasoned, pre cooked and frozen burgers.

 The happy meal for adults!

    The Choppak is my new go-to order. The burger was thick, cheesy, and perfectly seasoned, and the toasted bakery bun made it even better. Add in crispy fries and creamy homemade coleslaw and you've got a meal that hits every craving. Worth every bite.

    Order & pickup counter.

    Pretty good burgers, but the steak fries are the star of the place. I walked 1/2 mile each way to get there. Would I do that again?? Probably not. I'm a Heinz ketchup fan & their mystery ketchup was pretty good. Great prices though!!

    I asked the clerk which one he would recommend the burger or the beef. He recommended the burger. I ordered the burger and while I was waiting, I asked him for a sample of the beef after I tried the beef I got an Italian beef, and addition to my burger and had a little bit of each one the burger was really good. The price was amazing was seven dollars for, two burgers grilled onions, lettuce, tomato pickle mayonnaise, mustard and ketchup came with some steak fries and coleslaw. The beef was very good the flavor it was a little dry I did not have a dipped, but I did get gravy on the side and it was delicious with hot oil on the side. Good chocolate shake. They had a quad burger that had five patties instead of four , great service very clean . I lucked out, and I found parking small parking lot in a busy area downtown. They had outdoor seating too if you're in the area check it out.

    This place is amazing value. It's clean but there are a lot of small flies. The food and location has a very retro style. Seats are a little small. But they're pretty quick and no frills.

    Parking is ridic

    Visiting a friend in the area, they requested a stop here to get some food and milkshakes, and I waited in the car for 15 minutes. Cramped parking, mediocre fast food, slow service. Why? do people come here, I would like to know.

    Receipt

    Based on my last experience. I ordered 2x triple burgers and fries. I was charged $22.38. No itemized receipt was provided. I inquired to how we got to that cost. He states 2x burgers 2x fries. I advised it was one fry. He hands $3.85 . I took it that was correct but when I figured it out he still owed me a $1 . Little did I know they changed the meat. I bit into the burger and it tasted odd. No fresh burger meat chargrilled. This tasted like a high school cafeteria burger - no quality just cheap/soy /meat blend. I ate the burger and thought it was me. However I took the 2nd burger home and attempted to eat it. It tasted horrible. I got no fresh quality chart burger taste instead that cheap meat taste. I threw it out . What a waste. Completely regret ordering. This place went from 5 stars to 0 if I could give it. Not sure if under different management and attempted to go cheaper quality or what.

    Food was delicious. Needed to grab dinner after my wine tasting in Old Town. Location was perfect as it was right off of North and Ashland. Pretty easy to get to location parking somewhat difficult. I was able to get in an order right away, my food was ready within one minute. I think they just have the burgers going and the fries getting fried quickly. I got the double cheeseburger special and it was very delicious. I had it when I got home with a glass of wine. Perfect to have a delicious double cheeseburger with the best Cabernet (Caymus $85 a bottle) on the market. I was really a happy and full with my selection. I finished the Burger, however I didn't finish the cole slaw or the French fries. However I save the French fries to have the next morning. I'm sure they'll do well being reheated in the air fryer. This meal probably could be shared with my husband if we just wanted a quick snack before going to sleep. Would definitely go back and try this place they looked like they had some dope ass mozzarella sticks.

    After what felt like 5 years to try this place, I FINALLY got to try the famous burger here! Spark…read morenotes: this place is definitely worth the wait! My friend and I dedicated a day where we would just put our name down and however long it took we would wait haha. We drove into the city which took and hour and we put our name down and waited an hour before we were called. The weather was great so we just walked around the west loop area. We started with a half size of the green salad and a half size of the roasted bone marrow. The house salad is super refreshing. A lot of vinegar in the dressing which I personally really like. Also tasted some fennel which was an interesting flavor. The roasted bone marrow is the winner of the night. I would come back to Au Cheval for this alone. It was paired with a thick slice of Texas toast and a beef cheek marmalade and it is seriously the PERFECT balance of flavors. Fatty. Sweet. Buttery. Literally insane and this is a must order! Then came the famous burger. My friend and I each ordered a single cheeseburger with the egg and bacon added. Something to note is that the single cheeseburger actually has 2 patties and the double cheeseburger has 3 patties (3/4lbs of beef). The presentation itself is beautiful and makes you just not want to eat it haha. The burger itself is so decadent and hefty with the burger patties, cheese, egg and bacon. I'll be honest, I needed some more pickles or just something to cut all the fattiness of the burger. There were pickles in the burger and it is served with a huge pickle spear. But I still was itching for some more bitterness/acid to balance the flavors. It was so decadent, I couldn't finish it all. All in all, I would definitely come back and order the burger again and would recommend it to anyone! We ordered a side of fries which came with their garlic aioli. The fries were cooked to perfection. Super crunchy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside and piping hot! The garlic aioli is perfect and have no notes for it. We also were treated to a vanilla scoop with chocolate sauce which was the perfect cap to our meal! Our waitress was so friendly and my friend and I loved her! She was so sweet and genuine. Hog Salt restaurants never fail with their service!

    Au Cheval is likely the most coveted restaurant destination for out-of-towners…read more "Best Burger" "it's so delicious with the egg" "I'm glad you're ending your trip with Au Cheval". I'd like to throw in my own quote into the gauntlet: "it's ok". It sounds harsh but Our burger patty was noticeably dry. The bread... was also dry. The egg and bacon add-ons were good but as a whole, the burger was missing the core aspect. The bread being dry I can justify by knowing that Au Cheval makes it a point to make everything gluten-free (or so someone told me). I think that's cool but not necessarily what I came looking for. I actually noticed prior to our trip from photos that the buns looked noticeably arid but I gave them no heed because of all of the praise. And I can give them the benefit of the doubt that we were there on a Sunday night, so potentially not the most quality inventory (although I personally don't think that's a great excuse). The service and the ambiance were on point! If you're wondering if there's a required attire (no shorts or flip flops) I wouldn't fret, the atmosphere is a lot more casual despite self-describing as an "intimate" setting. It's definitely more intimate than a normal burger restaurant, with dim lighting and isolated booths but what you're wearing isn't going to dictate how other guests and staff feel. I would cover up anyways just cause there was ac running. I told my friend who moved from Nyc to Chicago and he said he felt the same. And one of our couple friends were surprised to hear the patty being dry, so... off day?

    Easily one of the best burgers in Chicago…read more We both got the bad burger, except my friend got it with mac and cheese. The burger was juicy and the bun was soft; didn't feel like I had to unhinge my jaw just to get a bite like with some other burgers. The toppings for the burger paired harmoniously with the patties, with the pickles adding texture and bite. The fries paired with the burger were honestly whatever, but the spicy aoli paired with it elevated eating the fries. We also got an elote app to share. I did enjoy the cheese and corn and how warm and melty they were, but I think it could've gone without the avocado. The mac and cheese though, now that was absolutely delicious. It was gooey and soft, with the breadcrumbs and bacon adding texture and smokiness. The drinks I got, the sylvan and green eyes, were a little strong for me (I prefer sweeter), but nonetheless excellently mixed. If you like strong, classic flavors, these are for you.

    My husband and I walked in on a Sunday evening for dinner and were able to be seated right away…read more The atmosphere is dark and moody, and it made sense once I realized it was the same owners as Gretel. Loved the 90s female R&B playlist they had going! Little Bad Wolf has been on my list FOR YEARS to try the burger! My husband got the burger with fried onions and I got some Bao because those also looked delicious and were a popular menu item. Honestly the 3 stars are only that high because of the service. Our server was friendly and attentive + the food came out hot and quick. Unfortunately, the food was pretty disappointing. The burger was swimming in a puddle of grease and just picking it up made your hands greasy + was dripping grease. The fries that came with it were floppy, soggy, and sad...but at least warm? I personally wouldn't order this again. The Bao were better, but small for the price and honestly were just okay? It was nice they gave you sauces you could add, but I found the Bao's to already have enough sauce so I didn't need them. Overall I left feeling confused and disappointed. I don't feel the need to come back here - Little Bad Will was a one and done experience for me.
