Normally I enjoy Small Cheval so I was little disappointed for this visit! We came late on a Thursday evening and it was pretty busy, there weren't any open tables inside but luckily it was a nice night so we were able to snag one of the few tables outside. It's very cute inside so it was a little disappointing to miss out on that. I think the soda machine was out of carbonation because my soda and replacement soda were both completely flat. They were busy so I didn't want to bother going up a second time. On this visit, the bread was slightly stale and I didn't feel like the burger had enough fixings on it. I asked for everything on it but I would've been better with lettuce, onion, tomato IMO. Mind you, I don't think EVERY burger needs those in it but this one didn't have enough flavor to go without. It do enjoy that they have self-serve garlic aioli for your fries and burgers though!
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.
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
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.
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!
Food and ambiance were incredible at this lunch spot. Simple menu done really well, I wish they had one of these close to me in Ohio, id be there every day. Burger was tremendous - smash style with an incredible bun. Fries were OK, but when you dunk them in the garlic aioli they were incredible. Also, the chicken tenders were all time - very light brending, which I love and a great flavor, no sauce needed!
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!
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.
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 .

I'm not sure I get the hype around this place. The burger was okay but a bit on the salty side. The fries were good, and the interior decor was quite nice and cozy. However, I find it hard to agree with others who say this is one of the top burgers around. It's decent, but I've had better. read more

Was excited to have a Small Cheval closer to the Burbs based on how many times the original and Au Chaval are on the top places to get a burger in Chicago but don't see going back again. The burgers were good, nothing special and not worth the cost per person once drinks and fries are added to the order. CANED soda, $3.00!!!! For a 12oz Can!! ABSOLUTE ripoff! $4.59 for Fries. $9.00 - $11.00 for burgers Total for two adults and 1 child was $60.00!!! A kid's burger is the same cost as an adult burger, like what's the point?!?!? The establishment is modern and nice, parking $ucks, tables and chairs really uncomfortable! Wood benches and wood stools, couldn't wait to finish our food so I could sit comfortably in my car. It was busy on a friday night, easily a 20 minute wait to place our order and another 25 minutes for our meals to be ready, just enough time for the canned soda's to start getting warm. Not worth the price when there are so many better options for the same price or less. read more

I just tried this place for the first time today and love, love, love it. I ordered a double cheeseburger and the golden fries. They were absolutely delicious. The cherry on top was that the restaurant itself was very clean and had nice ambiance. read more

I think that most of the country is aware of Au Chevelle. it was voted the best hamburger in the entire United States. Most people wait three hours during dinner rush to be seated in this downtown location. The owners of Au Chevelle wanted to give their customers a second option for a fast and quick experience without having to wait so they created small Chevelle that was located throughout the Chicagoland area. Well, recently, Chevelle had branched out to the suburbs with its first location in Rosemont. I wanted to see if this eatery lived up to the hype, so I headed down to Rosemont to check them out. I drove to small Chevelle in Rosemont on a Tuesday afternoon. I realized that they had a drive-through. This was great because the inside was very busy. I picked my head inside and noticed also, the seating was not the best looking. They had round tables surrounded by stools almost in a communal seating configuration. It looked almost as if it was a merry-go-round with a couple side tables that were booths. They offer an outside seating which looks to be enjoyable, possibly on a warmer day but today it was in the upper 40s not very optimal for outdoor dining. I drove around through the drive-through, and it was set up much like Portillo's where my order was taken by a worker with an iPad Their menu was pretty straightforward cheeseburgers a chicken sandwich. They also have some vegan options. They also offer a ridiculously priced $22 Wagyu truffle burger. I wanted to keep it pretty simple for this review. I ordered a double cheeseburger with all of the toppings that come on it. That is a Dijonnais and pickle. I also ordered chicken sandwich I also ordered a fry they have three different sauces, truffle white cheddar, garlic, aïoli, and just white cheddar with no truffle. I ordered all three. I also asked the worker was I missing anything and she told me I should try a shake. I asked her which one was the favorite she said that the most popular was salted caramel. I pulled around and waited for my order to be brought out to me like Culver's The entire order time took no more than 10 minutes to get my food. It came in a nice little bag with a handle. I wanted to taste this food at its freshest state, so I pulled over and decided to eat in my car. I opened up all the sauces, and the white cheddar truffle was extremely gooey. I tried it first with a fry, and it was out of this world delicious the garlic aïoli was also delicious and the white cheddar. The truffle also was very good. I took a sip of my shake, and it was creamy and delicious. Nothing out of this world, but a very good solid shake. I've been unwrapped my hamburger and took a first bite. The hamburger tasted fresh, and the cheese was gooey and melty. The actual seasoning, though on the hamburger was lacking there wasn't much flavor. I had to put some of the sauces onto the burger and that that really put it over the top being quite delicious. I also liked that they toast their buns. I tried the chicken sandwich. This chicken sandwich was awful. It was dry like flavor was not juicy whatsoever. I took one bite and put the rest in the bag. The fries are thin, shoestring type fries, a lesser version than McDonald's. They were tasty, but again nothing mind blowing. For all the items that I listed, my total came to just under $45. The burger was very good but not the best I've ever had. I do not think I would take a trip to Rosemont to try this place out. I have had much better hamburgers closer to home. The price is also pretty high almost $11 for a hamburger if I'm going to spend that much money five guys blows this place out the water. I give small Chevelle a rating of 6 out of 10. If you're in the area, go, check them out for yourself. Just be conscious that this place is not cheap. read more

We tried the new Small Cheval in Rosemont. They added a chicken sando to the menu that's very flavorful, but it needs a good pounding, because its thickness is inconsistent across the bun. They also added dipped cones. Very good burger. Love the brioche bun and tasty American cheese. read more

I was longing for the day I would return to small cheval and eat a burger but after 3-4 years of trying it just wasn't the same. Maybe it was just this location that didn't hit the spot but I don't remember their menu being this big. When I tried the original small cheval their menu was simple and the food was perfect. Well this location I walked into and it was fairly busy so I got in line and it moved pretty quick. After I placed my order I stood up and waited for about 10 minutes and couldn't find a spot. The place was so busy and there were just too many families for a single person to sit was almost impossible with the layout. Anyway my buzzer went off and I picked up my food and asked a kind family if I could sit with them at a round table. For me the star of the show was the garlic aioli sauce. That was the only thing that has remained the same since I came a few years ago. The burger wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing as it used to be. I think their bread is different than it used to be, because it didn't have that softness to it. My burger patties were cooked how I normally like it, medium but not too well done but it was just lacking a bit of flavor. The fries were warm but they weren't fresh, I could tell they'd been sitting out for a while, but the garlic aioli made up for that. Maybe I'll give the original location a try again but I don't think I'll be back here again in the near future. read more

Okay, I get some people don't want to spend $30 for a double cheeseburger, cheese fries, and a can of pop...but if you want flavor and ambiance this place is it. If you don't have $30 to blow try something else for lunch, just that simple. It won't be an every day place, but if I want a damn good burger I would go here. Can't wait to try the au cheval downtown if it is better than that! read more

First two times I got Burgers from here everything was so good. I hated the price, but the food was great. The 3rd time, might very well be my last time. Something was so off with the fries. They didn't taste anything like the fries I got the first two visits. I try hard not to complain about food but these fries were inedible. They didn't taste like potato's at all. They were extremely dry and dehydrated. For something that is fried in oil there should I be some kind of moisture on them. Not these fries, they were terrible. I threw one across my kitchen and it hit the door and landed looking exactly the same. They tasted freeze dried. I don't know how else to explain it. I went back and asked to get fresh fries and they gave me what looked like the same exact batch of fries, just re-heated. I just couldn't bring myself to eat them. Made me sick throwing all those fries away. I didn't even trust giving them to animals on the street. If you look at other photo reviews of fries, you can see they look nothing like my photo. If they changed their brand of potato or decided to try something new I am here to say, they need not to, because these were not it. The wagyu truffle burger was good but so sloppily made. The meat was a tad bit dried and looked well done. Didn't taste much seasoning. If not for the truffle sauce and the garlic aioli, I would say the burgers were beyond mediocre. I asked for all lettuce and tomato on the side and they put it all on the burgers. It was all wilted by the time we got to take our first bite. Drive home was only 15mins. Wish they would have listened to my request for the produce on the side. Idk what they are doing with the fries but I fear the quality of the burgers is next and for the price, nothing felt worth it. The lemonade had more ice than liquid in it. I think we got about 3 drinks out of it, the rest was ice. The only positive thing I can say is the salted caramel shake was delicious. Over all disappointed with the food quality. read more

I am against hidden surcharges. I asked about the 3.25% surcharge and got a lame excuse for food inflation. My bill seemed a little high and. I noticed this fee after checkout. The receipt says "This may be removed upon request". When I asked for it the be refunded, the young counter person said, "you have to do this at check out." I didn't even see the charge until i reviewed the receipt while waiting for my food. I won't be patronizing this restaurant which use these sneaky Practices. I will still be seeking a refund. Make any increase into your price and be transparent up front. read more

Thank you Small Cheval, for giving me a reason to write my first Yelp review. I've been sitting in this drive thru line for over 35 mins, waiting on one Cheeseburger, kid's burger & a strawberry shake.....Avoid this place like the plague. Not an employee in sight. Who did you hire to run this restaurant!? Complete joke. One and done. Never coming back again. read more

Is this establishment affiliated with Au Cheval, in downtown Chicago?
Yes it is. They spun off due to popularity of their burgers.
Is the fried chicken sandwich gluten free with done with the gluten free bun?
Their menu says it can be made gluten-free. I know they have gluten-free buns, too.
