    Great Food

    I love their burgers so much Just Delicious I drive all the way here Worth it every single time One of my favorite spots in the city I highly recommend them

    Cheese Bun and Fries
    Eduardo D.

    We dropped off my son at ORD so we decided to stop by Small Cheval for a late lunch. The place was not as busy as normal which was great as we were able to place our order quickly. I was not in the mood for a veggie burger so I got a cheese bun, which is essentially a cheese sandwich but I added all the veggies and condiments that come with the burger. Threw in a side order of fries as well. After placing the order, we waited for the buzzer to go off. The cheese bun was big Ava surprisingly filling. It tasted a little like a burger that has meat in it. It was satisfying along depth my golden fries. As we dined, we noticed the roof was open and found out it is retractable which is so nice. We never noticed in the past as we come here in the winter or they didn't open it. It gave some natural lighting. I enjoyed that. Small Cheval is great, fries are the best. The workers are nice and it's a nice place to take visitors of dropping off or picking up from the airport. We will be back for sure.

    This is a cute place for burger and rootbeer float - IMO! I had the double cheeseburger which is really good. I love rootbeer float, so yeah I am a happy camper. We had fries and side of cheese sauce. The cheese sauce is only good when it's warm, it gets clumpy once cold. Meh! It's a self-service kind of restaurant. Order and sit anywhere.

    Finally came here after loving Au Cheval for so long! Came here with a friend for dinner to catch up. Super family friendly during a weeknight dinner, but still works just as well for friends or a cute date night. They also have happy hour drinks. I ordered the single cheeseburger with fries and the lemonade slushie. The slushie was pretty tart. I personally would've liked it a bit sweeter, but the burger made up for it. So yummy! Very simple, classic, and you can add veggies and extras if you want. The interior is really cute and aesthetic, kind of like a dimly lit outdoor Paris cafe vibe. Overall, a solid spot that works for pretty much any group. I'd definitely come back.

    I been hearing about this place for a while but didn't want to go all the way in the city. Luckily they have one by Rosemont which was definitely a little closer. I ordered the single cheeseburger and fries. The other stuff that we ordered was the hamburger and a cheeseburger on a lettuce wrap. Everything was so good. I love the fries. I will be definitely come back.

    Cookies & Cream Milkshake (~$7)
    Aya E.

    Ordered: Signature Double Cheeseburger (~$11): with dijonnaise, pickles, and griddled onions Famous Fried Chicken Tenders (~$8): with Ranch, Buffalo, & BBQ sauces Golden Fries (~$5) Mexican Coke (~$5) Cookies & Cream Milkshake (~$7) Aya's take: Small Cheval aka the In-N-Out of Chicago! 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!

    Small Cheval is the kind of burger spot that makes you remember why simple done right is undefeated. The burger is juicy, perfectly salty, and hits that sweet spot of messy-in-a-good-way without trying too hard. The sauce, pickles, and onions all balance out so every bite feels dialed. The vibe is laid-back and effortless, like a place that knows it doesn't need a huge menu or a ton of hype because the food does the talking. If you're in Chicago and want a reliable, craveable burger that actually lives up to the buzz, Small Cheval is a no-brainer. Oh and the best part is there's hardly ever a wait at this location but be advised it is away from the City.

    Came here on a Monday evening at 6 pm and I was surprised to see barely anyone here. I've been to the other Au Cheval and Small Cheval locations and they're always packed. This is the newest location and very spacious with a ton of seating inside and outside. It's well decorated and very airy with a lot of natural lighting. The menu is super simple...they really concentrate on what they do best which are awesome burgers and shakes. I got the double cheeseburger, golden cut fries, and chocolate shake...pretty much a 1500 calorie meal so i definitely can't eat here all the time . But definitely worth the calories and fat once in a while. Prices are not bad. The cashier was friendly and food came out relatively fast.

    We stopped into Small Cheval on a whim on a Thursday afternoon around lunchtime. The parking lot was packed so we were a little nervous about dining in. We placed our order and just at that moment, a table became free.... Lucky! We ordered a couple cheeseburgers with fries and a four piece chicken nugget with fries. Our burgers were awesome and the nugs were great, as well. The fries were crisp and hot. The restaurant was very busy but it was clean and the employees were great. I hope we stop in again soon!

    Signature Double Hamburger
    Ada S.

    I had higher hopes. I was expecting a better quality meal, and over all I was disappointed. The burger was dry, the chicken tenders were barely breaded and nothing was special about them. The fries were to thick and not cooked enough, or salted enough. Very generic. Inside was very cute and they had a nice patio, but I would not go back for the food.

    Place is super nice, great friendly service. My first burger was a bit too pink for me, but still good. I asked for well done on the second trip. Really good. Love the fries, love the bun. Really like the beer selections and cocktails. I don't really crave burgers but there's I do look forward to. :)

    First time here , the inside decor is super cute . Looks like you are outside but inside :) the guys at the counter were all very nice and helped us out with questions bc we told them we were newbies lol . The prices are very crazy , an impossible burger with no cheese is $14 that's with no fries or drink . So yeah that's way overpriced . My husband enjoyed his double burger . We shared a fry with cheese sauce , their cheese sauce is wonderful and since my burger didn't have cheese , I used it to dip. Since my husband told the guys it was my birthday, one of them brought over a strawberry cheesecake mixer . I thought that was SO sweet of him . Not sure if they do that for all birthdays but it did make me feel better dropping $14 on a burger :) definitely not a place that will become a regular but would visit again .

    We came for a later weekend dinner and the place was decently full and busy. It is counter service so you walk in and place your orders at the counter. They give you a buzzer to come and pick up your order at the counter when ready. We ordered the doubles and some hamburgers and cheeseburgers. Then also a couple orders of fries and some dipped ice cream cones. The burger was tasty and well seasoned. The fries as well, though felt like it was a little on the salty side. The dips they have to serve yourself including garlic aioli which was very tasty.

    Their menu says it can be made gluten-free. I know they have gluten-free buns, too.

When we made the reservation, we specifically mentioned we were celebrating our anniversary. When we arrived, the host acknowledged it, and a manager even came to welcome us and wished us a happy anniversary. So it was clear the restaurant knew. Our server Alberto was attentive with checking in on us, but never acknowledged the anniversary during the meal. When he brought the check, he didn't say happy anniversary or acknowledge the occasion. We actually had to remind him. His response was, "Oh, good to know you're celebrating. Happy anniversary." We then had to ask if there was anything complimentary for the celebration? Seeing we've celebrated special occasions before, of course this was the Gibson in Chicago downtown and received thoughtful touches like a note or rose petals. Only after we asked " well, what do you guys do for your guest for celebrating " just to see what he would do or say , then he said " we only give a complementary scoop of ice cream ". Of course I know that was not true because the couple next to us got cake; however, I did say OK. Are you going to bring it out ? Alberto then go and bring a small scoop of ice cream with nothing that shows we appreciate you for choosing us happy anniversary on the plane plate Instead. He brought with what seems like a little attitude as he set the bowl on the table and the spoon, as you can see in the video then walks. It was like a waiter with no respect for us and he wanted us to leave. What was disappointing was not simply whether we received something complimentary, it was the lack of acknowledgement and not feeling that extra touch for a very special 12-year milestone, especially since we had told them ahead of time. Food, 5 out of 5. Service, 1 out of 5. Atmosphere, 1 out of 5. Overall, our night at Gibson's rosemont was less than satisfactory for such a meaningful milestone.
