Not a good hamburger at all really don't know where the salt comes from lil to salty very small patties the cheddar cheese is over baring I gave 2 stars because the staff was very polite it's restaurant around there with big juicy burgers good luck read more

1 star for the great decor and 1 star for a decent-ish service. Now with the negative: Prices are insane for what you get. 3 orders and all 3 had missing ingredients or added things that someone didn't want and didn't order. $3 for a can of soda? Better allow me to refill for that price. Can't pay with cash? Definitely -1 star. The burger, fries and aoli were okay. Nothing spectacular, nothing that grabs you, nothing that makes you come back... sad because I had bigger expectations. Honestly, the best parts were the decor and how fast getting the food was. When you have Paradise Pup with the best burgers at much cheaper prices, I don't know how your burger place is supoosed to make it. read more

Tried this spot, as we had been to the Old Town location. The food itself was really good. We went at about 5-6 on a Friday afternoon, and it was packed. The only reason we were able to sit is because walking in, there is a hidden booth area that had some stools open. Otherwise, you're left standing waiting for a seat in the main area (which is nicely decorated). The look/taste/price of the burgers are comparable to Five Guys. Not sure if we'd come to this location again. read more

Nothing like the original. For those saying this place wasn't worth the price, they clearly have never had from the wicker park location where they never miss. This location gave us messy stacked burgers, a SHITTON of lettuce, and they have different fries that are more like shoe string and have no substance to them. Won't be coming back to this location no matter how desperate. read more

Bun is too doughy. Burger is thin. Tortillas has better burgers. Fries were good. Not worth the money. ​ read more

Terrible. We went and ordered 1 burger, 1 double burger, fries, cokes. The burgers were burned, dry, smaller than McD's and had no taste at all. $10 for a burned, probably 5 oz burger before it was cooked. The pickles were tasteless, thin tomato, thin lettuce. Sorry, but McD's has a better burger when I need to have one. Never again. The only tasty thing was the digonnaise. read more

Double burnt cheese for 21$ ......... overpriced. Customer service is good. Friendly and great vibes but the food is overpriced for its taste. read more

Food not great Don't take Apple Card phone Charge for everything is extra, including using a credit cards. They had another charge with which was just when I asked about it for everything going up in prices, they charged another fee.

Wow. This place is so cool! The atmosphere is beautiful, love the vibe and great service. The food was really delicious, we were all very happy with our order. I was really excited to see they also had gluten free and dairy free options. We also really liked the shakes we tried (kiddo approved, she loved the grilled cheese and said the shake was also great, loved dipping her fries into it. The fries are awesome, by the way.). Definitely not like anything I have had before, the quality and freshness of it all is impressive and I am really glad we tried it. We will be back for sure! Next time maybe a date night, so we can enjoy some beers there too. Give it a try, well worth it! I took some pics but my phone died, so I will post food pics next time. read more

Small Cheval- Rosemont - So pretty! - Burgers Near Me - Rosemont, Illinois

See all

Food was good, but obscenely priced, even for today. Nearly $60 for 2 cheeseburgers, 2 fries, 1 coke, and 1 beer. While the burger meat quality was superior to most burger joints, the rest of the menu is not, and the pricing is way beyond what any burger shack should be charging. They offer a wagyu burger, which doesn't make sense, since burgers are ground beef with fat already. Wagyu would just be excessively greasy, but it's "trendy," which is concerning. Burger meat was good quality. Bacon was disappointingly thin (and no pricing provided for the add-on). Bun was nothing special. The fries are thin, and were cooked and seasoned well. It should also be noted, the ketchup and fries are completely different than the Wicker Park location, but those familiar are warned. Service was a little slow, but this is a new location. Had to ask for more ketchup several times. Lack of a condiment station is disappointing. The dining room has booths around the walls, but the tables within said booths are bolted down, so adjusting for smaller patrons (children) or larger adults is not possible. The remaining seating are 6-8 seat round tables with stools. High quality materials, but bizarre size choice. Would work better with square/rectangular tables for 4. Ultimately, while the food is good, the price for 2 meals at a burger joint should not exceed $35, and this was nearly double that. There are tons of other independent restaurants (this is owned by a restaurant group) that provide high quality burgers at reasonable prices. read more

They don't accept cash yet they charge a credit card fee. Make that make sense. Burger wasn't that good especially for the price. Bland and lacking so much flavor. Wife tried the chicken sandwich and that wasn't anything to rave about either. Better off with Portillos or even raising canes. Even in a pinch I don't think I'd pick this place. Rosemont has so many better places read more

Not worth the money. I orders a sundae and they gave me soft serve ice cream. I pointed out I ordered a sundae and they took it back to remake and still came out with soft serve. I gave up, not worth the time. Lazy people read more

The front end service was a little slow but everything was amazing. My daughter and I love the burgers and the chicken tenders. There garlic sauce is great! Atmosphere was very nice as well. We will be going back in the near future! read more

Okay, so I'll probably get a lot of slack for this review because everyone raves about this place but for me...not that special. We had been looking to try Small Cheval for a long time now as they are always featured as one of the best burgers in the Chicagoland area year in and year out. We finally visited the Rosemont location yesterday to celebrate my wife's birthday. First off, the vibe of the location was pretty cool. Really neat open air dining experience and just a neat place to hang. This is probably the only reason I'm rating at a 3 and not a 2. Food wise...I guess I just don't get it. Ordered a double cheeseburger and fries. The cheeseburger wasn't bad per se, just nothing special and to be perfectly honest, I'd prefer a Shake Shack burger to this. Fries were actually pretty good however, absolutely drowning in salt which is not my favorite. Will I come back you ask? Nope. Do yourself a favor and take a drive out to Cary and hit up Tracks. Amazing burgers and will cost you less too. read more

They need to work out their issues at the Rosemont location. I'm from the city and have never had an issue. The burgers are amazing and my favorite. If this is what tourist are going to experience I feel sorry for them. Btw how do you not have anymore burgers at 1:15pm and your menu is pretty much only burgers. Ugh read more

It was good, but nothing special. Staff could use more training. Toppings were wrong. Can use a little more truffle flavor also especially for the prices. Won't be back read more

I love the Truffle cheese for the French fries and the customer service used to be excellent when they first opened up. Now it's like they are always forgetting something. One time I ordered food and the Truffle cheese for my fries. The woman repeated my order to me twice and I pulled around to pay for my order. Got home and ready to eat and there was no Truffle cheese. I called the restaurant only to find out that the woman didn't add Truffle cheese to my order. Decided to try them again and they never asked me if I wanted honey mustard for my chicken tenders. But, they made sure to ask me if I needed anything else for the fries besides the Truffle cheese. And their sundaes are very disappointing, it's just a cup of ice cream with a maraschino cherry on top. read more

Just tried to go to small Cheval in Rosemont. And I mean tried. Went inside where there was a line out the door and they only had one person in the register! We saw they had a drive through so we tried that instead of waiting inside, that was worse not only did no one come out to take our order they didn't even acknowledge all the cars in the line. I realize this is supposed to be a better experience than a McDonald's but at least at McDonald's they know how to handle people in line and the drive through to get there order quickly! What a waste of 45 minutes!!! read more

this is the most unacceptable amount of ice i've ever received in a drink. i paid $5 for 3 sips of lemonade. wtf read more

Small Cheval- Rosemont - my "lemonade" - Burgers Near Me - Rosemont, Illinois

Ok I'll start by saying I've had other locations of small Cheval and they were amazing. This location not so much. The ONLY reason I even gave a second star was because the staff were super nice. I ordered the original double cheeseburger and I've never seen a burger cooked so unevenly. One half of each burger was almost completely raw hamburger and the other half medium. The problem is they were stacked opposite eachother so every bite had mostly raw meat. It was horrifying. With tip($5) for two burgers, one fry with cheese, and two cans of pop my total was $45. The only thing that tasted good or was edible were the sauces. Love the Dijonaise and the truffle sauce but even that truffle oil lingered and I couldn't escape the burping of that all night. The fries they gave us were all the weird end type pieces when again I've had other locations and know how the fries typically look. I always say there's a rosemont curse that any restaurant that opens a location there will always be the worst version and it seems like that's the case here. They really need to get it together if they are gonna charge that much for burgers. After picking mine apart I wound up throwing most of it away. read more

Went to Small Cheval around 11:00 on a Monday. There were some customers but not a lot. Had their burgers and fries. Burger was good, but nothing special at all. The food is way overpriced for what it is. One of my biggest gripes is the extra 3% hidden "surcharge" added, then they also ask for a tip at this counter service burger joint. I won't return as long as the surcharge is in place. There are plenty of other choices in the area. read more

A great option for dinner with the kids, without having to sacrifice ambience or quality. Cute, quick, and fun; you can't go wrong with the double cheeseburger and fries. Staff even went out of their way to comp an ice cream treat for my 7 years old's birthday. read more

This is the spirit airlines of burgers. Everything is nickel and dime until you pay for a $20 burger or chicken sandwich and then when you pay for your meal, you don't even get everything that you ordered. You're better off going somewhere else. The ambience is beautiful and great to look at food is completely shallow inside. read more

The burger was mid, comparable to culver's. The service was subpar, i felt rushed and not cared about. the ambiance was great, the restaurant was styled with 2 indoor trees with a very open vibe. would not go for a good burger, portillo's is better. read more

It's a pretty solid burger, service is pretty quick, but that garlic mayo aioli is next level!

Best burger! Clean ingredients and always enjoy getting a good burger here. Excited for small Cheval to be in the neighborhood.

This was one of the most basic burgers I've ever had. No seasoning and barely any toppings. I would rather go to McDonald's and pay for a burger. For 2 people it was $45 for not the best food. read more

Best burger in the Chicagoland area. This one especially has a great atmosphere. The service is fine but it's nothing outstanding. Incredible food though, highly recommend. read more

Super expensive!!! If you look at the menu online it doesn't show any prices. Very cute inside the restaurant but not with the cost. Three of us had one cocktail plus burgers and fries and it was $90! read more

Best burger and fries . Love the location and food . Love you can drive up and pick up order

This has been one of the worst places I have ever eaten at. The fries were so salty, it's like they dipped them in a bowl of salt. This was our first time here, honestly I would have rather gone to McDonald's. Their burgers were not great at all. plus it's over prices and not good. will not be going back!!!!!! read more

Service was excellent as I placed order online and was ready when I arrived. Ordered a single cheeseburger with bacon. Overall the food was decent. In my opinion not worth the $18 for a single cheeseburger and fries. I still would like to give it another try but this time a cheeseburgers without bacon. Did not dine in but the place looks amazing. read more

I am baffled that this hamburger holds such high remarks. The bacon was greasy & tasted rancid. Friendly staff, attractive interior. 1 hamburger 1 cheeseburger 1 fry 1 side a bacon and a coke $48, and there was a RESTAURANT FEE of $2 on our receipt. You order at the counter, you pickup your own food, you bring your waste to a container and a tip is required. I am scratching my head as I'm typing. Absolutely not worth the cost or the wait. Such a disappointment! read more

So, my family and I dined in here on 5/12/24 and at first the place looked promising. As we walked in, the dining area was different with the open roof, but interesting. We were not greeted when we came in and after deciding what we wanted, still wasn't greeted at the register. The man who took our order appeared to have a demeanor of someone who didn't want to be at work. He didn't smile, appeared to be in a bad mood, and was not really helpful with explaining anything. We had ordered 3 of the burgers, chicken strips, 2 orders of fries, 2 cans (yes cans) of pop, and a lemonade from their fountain. After getting a shock of the price, which was about $70 for the meal, the one thing I didn't understand was why did the register ask me when I was paying if I wanted to leave a tip?! We didn't order from a waiter/ waitress, I stood at a counter like at a Burger King and placed my order, so who was I tipping? Then I was informed and given a buzzer thing to let me know when my order was ready I could come pick it up at the counter. Again, who am I tipping? We took our seats and while waiting, I looked over the receipt. Wow, I was a bit surprised to see that a can of pop was $3 and the lemonade was $5! On top of the price, it was not very big and packed with ice. So $11 for 3 drinks, I couldn't believe it. The burger and chicken tenders I would say were about average prices, around $10-$11, but nothing else with it. You have to pay for the fries which were about $4.50 each. Last charge which I still do not understand or was told about was a restaurant surcharge fee. At the bottom of the receipt, it says that it is added and can be removed by upon request. Well, if I knew about it I would have told them to remove it. We got buzzed to pick up our food and overall it didn't look bad. The chicken strips were in my opinion the best of the meal. The fries were not that bad, but nothing I'd say worth $4.50 each. Unfortunately, we were not impressed with the burgers at all. Honestly think I've had a better burger at Burger King, especially I could pay about the same price for a meal there for the price of the burger at Small Cheval. The burger actually seemed over cooked, almost dry, not a lot of flavor and whole thing began to fall apart with every bite. At the end of it all, we were disappointed with the food and service, especially since the restaurant had just opened. It appeared to be just an amped up fast-food place. read more

Service been pretty fast and nice .My complaints are about price .It is just too much pricey for fast food .Ambiance is nice too !

I just left there. I went through the drive-through. I'm an Uber driver but not just this place. I was very disappointed. Waited for a long time for it to open. Finally got there and the french fries were not even cooked enough and the tastes not great typical string french fries. Hamburger was very thin and not even cooked. It was raw well I won't say it was raw, but it wasn't cooked even medium rare it was awful. I didn't even finish it so I might go back to try one more time I've never been to a Chevelle before so I don't understand why they only have one cheese to put on a hamburger but that's just me. I gave it two stars right now. read more

Went for lunch had the signature double cheeseburger (was asked well done or medium, went medium), golden fries with aioli dip, and a can of diet coke for about $22. Burger was dry and looked well done, fries were not very crispy but the Aioli dip saved the fries. Heard good things about the main restaurant but haven't been there, but if the small cheval is any indication not sure if the main will be as good for the price you pay. Also they charge a 3.25% service fee. You won't notice it unless you print out your receipt and read the bottom. read more

Walk in. Customer service was good. Food was pretty fast. But the food was sub par. Fries tased like grease n soggy. The bacon is nothing like the other locations where it's a thicker nice cut bacon. My girlfriends burger was rare inside one do the patties. The over flavor of the burger was not it. We didn't finish our food and left pretty quick. The lemonade super our and super sweet at the same time. Didn't take more than 2 sips. The only thing that was passable was the chicken tenders. Wouldn't go again, or to that location anyway. Definitely more of a fast food vibe at this location vs the others. Save your money. read more

The price of a cheeseburger was $9.19. The bun was the highlight of the meal. Save your money and go to Portillo's.
