    Chicago style Hot dog
    Victor S.

    Was leery to come here as the last few people left bad reviews. To say the least I am glad I stopped in. I ordered a hot dog with fries and the chicken souvlaki combo. Prices were not bad for this economy. The food was excellent and the service was fine. Last few reviews were rude and very personal. Not cool. Hope your business picks up guys.

    Cheeseburger with golden fries.

    Good tasting burgers and golden fries. It was empty on a Wednesday night but people think its empty it's not good. It was ok to my standards and food came out fast. Do you really want a crowded restaurant? Next time I will try the gyros.

    1/4 lb Cheeseburger & fries. Fries are covered with crispy bits.

    Decided to give'em some business the other night. Was in need of a quick bite before heading out for the evening. This route between the burbs and city is a part of my commute and most times I've never seen them having clientele. Never. I've stopped by a couple times thinking I'd try it, only to end up elsewhere. However, today was the day. It was quiet till I got in there. Then all of a sudden, a slow stream of dinner crowd stopped by. A couple stopped in inquiring about catering, they resolved in ordering souvlaki plates. Reviews suggest the souvlaki is stellar, I kept thinking that should have been my meal as well. Instead, I went with a cheeseburger. Not bad, just about your typical out-of-a-box variety, most likely previously frozen. Salt, pepper, shredded lettuce, tomato slice halves, a thick slice of cheese and diced onions. It's served plain so that you can dress it up with ketchup & mustard to your liking. Also got a side order of fries. Theirs has this coating of krispity, crunchity, bits all over. Some would be familiar with this type, I think it's also served at FF's like Arby's and Carl's Jr. Decided to combo it with a drink and the total was a little over $10 dollars. It was alriiight but I'd suggest for newbies to check our their Greek game instead. Food can take some time since it's being made at the time of ordering. The place is pristine and looks ready to handle a crowd. But where is everyone?

    Chicken Breast Plate
    Andres D.

    Nice cozy self standing building on Touhy Ave with a parking lot. Upon walking in I noticed their BBQ menu however I was more in the mood for something along the lines of Greek chicken. Evan's Specialites side of the menu has a delicious and inexpensive Chicken Breast plate for $7.45. Your choice of Rice Pilaf, Fries or Greek Potato & Pita with cucumber sauce on the side plus a little lettuce, tomato and onion. My plate was good, like GOOD!!!! Seasoned juices and plenty filling. Although I live no where near Evan's Place, I will absolutely stop in again if I am ever in Des Plaines. Friendly service and spacious

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!

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.

Many of them are limp rather than crispy, and the oiliness is very noticeable, making them look soggy instead of crunchy. The cuts are inconsistent, with some fries being thick and others thin, which likely caused the uneven frying. Overall, they look heavy, greasy, and far from the golden, crisp fries most people hope for. The shake was good but for $6 could have been larger serving. Employees were short and not really "welcoming" but it was near closing time but that should have no difference to the experience for the customer. Overall would probably get a burger & a shake here again but the fries are sub par at best.
