Nice location and good service. Some space inside to dine yet more outside. I was able to get an ice cream cone in a cup dipped. It was tasty.

The wait time is almost 0 minutes when I ordered via GrubHub for pickup within 5minutes. The burger is a bit too salty for my palate. The bread was nice. You can order alcoholic drinks which I liked. Compostable packaging is always nice.

I'd been wanting to try this burger for a while and it did not disappoint. The bun they use is really incredible and so buttery. I also got the fries and the strawberry cheesecake seasonal milkshake. The location was nice and not too crowded. I'd definitely recommend a quick lunch.

Double Cheeseburger

Hanging out in North Center to get my brakes done. The smell coming out Small Cheval lured me in for lunch. I ordered my food to go because it was freezing outside and wanted to get home. This location had parking nearby but it was limited. I grabbed the classic double cheeseburger and added lettuce and tomato on the side. My order was neatly packed and ready within 10 minutes. My burger was so juicy. It was cooked to perfection. I was happy that I got some additional aioli to go. This was only my second time eating at this establishment and I enjoyed my lunch. In the future, I would ask for more pickles. Downgraded to 4 star because of price. Out the door almost $13 bucks. I think the French fry price was too high and hence, why I just made some at home.

i've been going to Small Cheval since their very first location in Wicker Park Bucktown: I know they have expanded to many locations in Chicago including this newest one in Lincoln Square/ North center. here's what I liked. double cheeseburger is still pretty hefty with a great bun and two pretty big patties. ( note that you have to ask for lettuce and tomato separately. The not so great part were the fries. They're incredibly fresh and crisp and I don't know if they changed their recipe but it was one of the saltiest batches I've ever ate. My mouth still feels that one hour later. they only have minimal seating inside which wasn't a challenge. Service was friendly and food came out really fast, and the pricing has not changed significantly since the last time I went there, meaning you can get a pretty filling burger and fries for under $20.

Burger patties and fries were pretty burnt, nothing too special. Didn't come with lettuce or tomato options which was really disappointing to me. Service took very long and young men behind the counter were also pretty vacant and not that welcoming, very quiet. Ambiance was small, only minimal indoor side by side stool seating. Nothing outdoors. LOVED the concretes and ice cream tho. I'll probably only go for the ice cream in the future.

Visited Lincoln square location for the first time. Dry cheeseburger and stale fries. I usually go to the Rosemont location or the one in wicker park and those locations have not failed me yet.

Used to be a good spot for a burger but not as good as it once was. Kind of pricey for what I got and not much space to sit down and eat.

Great smash burger, great fries, and the garlic aioli is a perfect dip. The new patio is really nice as well.

Went to on a Sunday for bottomless brunch to celebrate with family and friends for our anniversary…read more Food was amazing and the mimosas were spot on. Nick was awesome. Came back for some drinks with friends after leaving a local restaurant and did a round of shots as a night cap. Nick was there and was extremely friendly also the other bartender was a vibe. We will be back for sure!

"Welcome back." I…read morehesitate. I know with absolute certainty that I have never stepped foot in Chicago. Yet, the bartenders greet us with such a warm and friendly energy that I know with absolute certainly that I have been a regular at this bar for years. Decades. Centuries. I know within my soul that this was my go-to bar in a past life (and hopefully in the next). Just as welcoming as the awesome people are the $1 PBRs and $3 shots of tequila. And of course they hand out free hot dogs every night at midnight, which in my (intoxicated) mind was cemented as the definitive Chicago dog, even if it comes with no toppings whatsoever. And fittingly complementing the amazing energy of the bar is a 10 hour Youtube video of that memed Ukrainian kid dancing at a club playing endlessly on the TVs. Rocking sunglasses and looking like a stud, absolutely grooving without a single care in the world, and effortlessly matching every single song on the bar's playlist. That kid truly embodies the spirit of this bar. No matter what day it is, what time of day it is, or who visits, the bar's energy always works. Vibing to Black Eyed Peas on a Monday night never felt better. Imma be... back one day, rest assured. I genuinely can't wait for the next time I'm greeted with, "Welcome back."

Our server helped with some suggestions and questions and was incredibly kind in her help. Everything is a based on a farm to table concept, which is apparent in the taste of the food. To start, our party got the potted carrots and THE overpriced tomato. Nice appetizer portion for a party of 4. For our mains, I opted to get the stracci and my partner the cavatelli. I was incredibly satisfied by both plates. Both were fresh and delicious. The restaurant does get busy and fill quickly. While waiting for our party for our reservation, we saw multiple people unable to dine due to the popularity of the restaurant. Highly recommend booking in advance!

The rigatoni was just okay and honestly very average. The pierogi was good, but nothing great. For dessert, we ordered the croissant, which wasn't sweet and didn't have much flavor either. We were pretty disappointed with the meal overall. Our server was extremely casual, and whenever we asked him questions, he was very nonchalant and didn't really offer any helpful feedback or recommendations. Overall, it was a pretty underwhelming experience. Worst of all, they charge a 25% gratuity on every check, which I found kind of ridiculous. Definitely not going back.
