Au Cheval was unfortunately a pretty disappointing experience for us. We arrived around 5:30 PM and…read morewaited nearly 2.5 hours for a table of four. We understood that it was busy, but being texted that our table was ready only to wait another 15 minutes in a tiny entry hallway was frustrating. When I asked for an update, the hostess was dismissive, which made the situation even more unpleasant. Once we were finally seated, it took about 10 minutes for our waitress to greet us. We ordered wings and single burgers. The food was hot, but our burgers and fries came out at completely different times because the kitchen was supposedly "backed up." For the price and the hype surrounding this place, I expected a much better overall experience. The burger was decent, but honestly, nowhere near worth a 2.5-hour wait, and the prices felt high for a burger and fries. I can appreciate that restaurants get busy, but the communication, service, and timing of the food could have been much better. Overall, I wouldn't wait 2.5 hours to eat here again. The food was okay, but the experience just wasn't worth it.

We were sat at the bar in front of the chefs who were back there whipping it up. We ordered the Roasted Bone Marrow which was ahhh-freaking-mazing! It was the perfect balance of salty and savory. It was served with toast. I ordered a lemonade which was yummy. She ordered a coke. We both ordered burgers and an order of fries to share. They came huge and very good. I kept mentioning that my fries were one of the best. We are kindly given a key lime pie which was to die for. I'm not even a dessert person and I couldn't stop eating the slice. I will be back the next time to I visit!

The staff was very welcoming and quick to help seat and get us started. The restaurant itself was dimly lit which we enjoyed. We started off with the large mac and cheese to share and for 20 dollars it was huge. It was amazing, it was creamy and very rich in flavor. 10/10 would recommend, it comes as a side too. We also got the wolf burger, which is what they are known for, and it was amazing. It was the best burger I have had in a long time. I was thrown off hearing there is an egg but it is the best damn burger I have had. Little bad wolf is amazing. The portions match and even exceed the price point! Go check it out, it's amazing!

Nothing overly complicated -- just a really well-executed burger. Little Bad Wolf has the accolades to back it up. Time Out ranks its larger Wolf Burger #1 in Chicago, while The Infatuation actually prefers the Bad Burger, saying the simpler version allows the meat to shine. After eating it, I understand the hype.

Gutenburg's egg and truffle burger is second to none…read more Beautifully seasoned, fried egg on top of a patty with cheese, truffle oil, and sprinkled with some crispy potato sticks. The brioche bun is flavorful and very soft. Each bite explodes with flavor. It's mostly soft and gooey, but the potato sticks add in a nice crunchy contrast. Sweet Potato fries were not great. Wasn't sure about the blue cheese crumble. The sweetness of the honey with the fries in combination with the bitterness of the blue cheese felt a little rancid. Hot dog was great. Pretzel was great. Crunchy on the outside, very soft on the inside, well seasoned. It was very busy and the line was very long. Gutenburg is located in the Time Out Market, which is essentially a food court. So there's really not much in terms of ambiance unless you enjoy bumping shoulders with strangers.

Get ready for a 30 minute wait for a hamburger. The excessive long wait killed the desire to ever come back. It seemed like they had to chase the cow to kill it or the grill turned off.

The Bad Apple has truly turned bad. This used to be my go-to burger spot and overnight their food…read morequality seemed to go down. The unfortunate thing is that when you have expensive food, like The Bad Apple does, the expectation of consistently good food is higher and they haven't been able to deliver. The last few times I've had a burger from here I've been left underwhelmed. My go-to burger is the Da Bears Burger which runs $18 when you order from GrubHub. The last two times I've had the burger (once at the restaurant and once at home) the smoked brisket has been dry. On my last occasion the bottom half of the bun was burnt. It was barely edible without drowning it in sauce. I've reached the point that the price outweighs the food quality. We have too many delicious burger spots that are priced similarly or less to keep feeling like I'm wasting money,

We grabbed seats at the bar, and the cocktail list is a highlight, with a nice mix of classic and seasonal drinks. The 4 cheese tavern pizza was fantastic: super thin crust, cut into squares, and perfectly crisp. The ham and cheese croquettes were also very tasty and a great starter to share. My friend ordered the fish and chips, one of their signature dishes, which famously beat Bobby Flay on his show (a rare feat!). Based on how quickly it disappeared, it lives up to the hype. The only downside is that the bar seats are pretty uncomfortable, so you may want a table if you plan to linger. Still, the food and drinks more than make up for it. Highly recommend!
