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!
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 .
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.
Brother in law told us to stop in and get a burger from them because i was craving a burger. The restaurant was nicely laid out with plenty of parking space. I guess this place is a fast burger shop of a famous restaurant called au cheval. We entered and was greeted by the cashier who was super nice and friendly. She answered any question i had. I got a double and fries. Man the burger was really good. Juicy and had a distinct flavor that most burger didn't have. You can tell the patties were a cut above. The fries were golden with a nice crisp on the outside with a cloud pillow like texture on the inside. And make sure you get extra garlic aioli! That sauce just takes the fries to the next level! Also the fries come in a sack which means it's good enough for 2 people. The decor was also very nice looks like you are a nice park with trees in the dining room. Had a great vibe while eating your food. A must try while in Chicago! read more

I've been meaning to try this place and after picking someone up from ORD who was hungry, I remembered it was there! It's super cute inside. Luckily it was a nice day so the roof was retracted. No one in line so service was quick. Maybe waited 15 minutes two double cheeseburgers and an order of fries ($30). They also have happy hour from 3-6 during the week but we had to take off. Even after a 20min drive the burgers were still hot. I did crisp up the fries i. The air fryer at home (I had a couple before we headed for home). Tase of the burgers were great. I wanted to order the truffle sauce but they didn't have it. The garlic aioli was good on the fries. I would go back! read more
This was our second visit to this location. We previously visited soon after they opened. This time the drive-thru was not in service and it was packed as ever. Luckily the patio is open and there is online pickup. We weren't able to order fries or chicken sandwich online for some reason but our burgers and shake were still good. Highly recommend the truffle cheese sauce. read more
i enjoyed my experience here at small cheval. heard good things so tried it out myself. there was maybe a 7 minute wait inside, super nice inside didn't know half of the roof was open. we got a hamburger and cheeseburger with everything it comes on and two sides of fries. took about 10 minutes i'd say we had a buzzer. for a place this busy inside idk why there's a drive through. taste: everything was super good id come back for the burger. fresh lettuce and tomatoes, i liked their sauce forgot what it was called. the fries were okay nothing crazy but including two sodas it's came out to $40, so it's a bit up there read more

Truffle cheese sauce and garlic aioli are so good. The burger was just okay though, bun to meat ratio is not right, too much bun for the amount of meat you get especially if you're only getting the single patty read more
I ordered their pricey burger and asked to have bacon added for an extra charge. I regret that the burger patty's flavor was overshadowed by salt and that I was unable to fully enjoy the wagyu's flavor. The bacon was a little dry and not very crispy. It wasn't cook to order, I figured. The brioche bun was chilled. I hoped they would toast it. read more
Today we went to try Small Cheval we've been to Au Cheval. Small Cheval was great! We did not have to wait too long for food and lines are short. I did get myself the kids cheese burger which is a single cheese burger. The fries are a great portion to share between two people. Their aioli is not as good as Au Cheval but still is good in its own rights. We would not get the strawberry shake again since it states more like bubble gum/artificial. The ambiance was wonderful for today's warm weather. The roof was off so we could enjoy the natural sun while being inside the restaurant. read more

The food was okay. I went downtown a few years ago and had say Cheval and loved it. This place doesn't live up to their hype.. It's a great area and I would still recommend trying the burger if you're close. It was seasoned nice and the shakes were delicious. Skip on the fries. Not worth the price for the style or cut. read more

$5.98 for two cans of Diet Pepsi? $1.15 restaurant surcharge? $2.79 for truffle cheese sauce? I really wanted to love this place but at $47.54 for two burgers and one fry with two sodas it just is too pricy The burger was good but different than the original. Staff is super nice and ambiance is nice. read more

Though their menu is very small, the food doesn't disappoint. The indoor tree really makes the restaurant feel more open and bigger than it actually is, and it has comfortable seating. Service is fast and the cashiers are very kind. I ordered two cheeseburgers and a vanilla and strawberry milkshake. In the photo, it shows a salted caramel milkshake, but that was a fault on our end. They said they would make us our strawberry milkshake, and we could keep the salted caramel one for the trouble. That made us very happy! The food was very good, burgers were juicy, full of flavor, and cheesy. Buns were soft and toasted to perfection, and the fries were amazing. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Very fresh. The garlic aioli paired well with not only the burger but the fries as well. The milkshakes were not too thick and not too sweet which I liked. Strawberry tasted artificial but overall everything was close to satisfactory. read more
Stop. You've found it. The best burger in Chicago. Get the double cheeseburger and fries with aoli and bask in the pure bliss that is the small cheval burger. This small cheval is much bigger than the ones in the city with a beautiful inside (that looks like You're outside), an extended menu with ice cream, chicken sandwiches and cocktails. But just get the burger and fries you won't be disappointed. It's counter service but they were pretty friendly in there and the burgers come relatively quick for how good they are. read more

Like many people in the area was really looking forward to trying out Small Cheval. Unfortunately overall we were not impressed, the food was all good but to me did not align with the cost. We ordered 2 of the Waygu burgers, fries with the cheese and truffle sauce and chicken tenders. Total cost was around $78. The burger and fries both having nothing wrong with them do seem to be a McDonald type food. I had seen other Yelpers mention this but had guessed it was someone's bad experience, I can confirm this was also ours. I will say though all of the sauces are excellent which help step up the fries. The menu also suggests they serve "hand spun" milkshakes. I ordered a Strawberry shake to then notice the hopper in the back labeled Strawberry and another for the salted caramel. When I had questioned these being hand spun shakes the cashier did not clarify that these are not hand spun shakes as advertised. read more

The ambiance is great, service was very good. The outdoor atmosphere (all indoors) was very nice. I was way underwhelmed by the dry burger. It was just "meh." I had to ketchup it up a little to add some flavor/moisture. The fries were okay. I would absolutely prefer a properly made 1/4 pounder from McDonalds, unfortunately those are hit or miss. The sauce and diced onions on the burger were nondescript. Maybe I caught a bad day, but there are a lot better burgers out there. I'll try it again to give them another chance. read more

This location is adorable, the outdoor patio vibe indoors is great for rainy days. I checked this place out on a day it was raining on and off, but warm outside. It was nice that they had the patio windows opened up to let the breeze in. The burgers are as good as I remember them when they first opened a Small Cheval in Wicker Park. The prices aren't bad either, considering the size and how expensive burger places have gotten in general. The one thing to note is that their standard cheeseburger is a double, and it's huge. I definitely could have ordered the kid's burger or asked specifically for a single. The fries were hot and crisp with a side of garlic aioli and ketchup. I just drank water, but next time I'd like to try a shake or grab an ice cream cone. They looked really good from what I saw at tables around me. Overall, the service is polite and quick. You don't interact much with the workers since you order at the counter and come pick up your food. There isn't table service. If you haven't tried it yet, it's worth checking out. read more

The look on the inside is very unexpected from the outside, amazing outdoor feel with the huge tree and outdoor seating. The vines and lights is very cute and fitting and I felt like I wasn't dining inside at all. Very much eye candy. Service was amazing and fast. My sister accidentally ordered a vanilla when she meant to order strawberry, and we I asked them to give us a strawberry one instead, the workers insisted that we keep the vanilla one. Some people would prefer to exchange it but we decided to keep it because why not? Free milkshake! Therefore the service is beyond satisfactory. The milkshakes were okay, nothing extraordinary, but I won't take that into account too much. The strawberry one tastes a bit artificial, as my sister has stated. The salted caramel isn't too sweet, but I like that, and it's not too thick so you're able to suck it through the straw. At last, the food: Burger was juicy, not to much bun, and the patties were lacking a bit of seasoning, but the fries were fresh and amazing, paired beautifully with the garlic aioli sauce, flavors made the saltiness of the fries burst. The meal was very filling, a bit on the pricey side, but I would still recommend. read more
