    This is a good spot to satisfy your cravings . I like fried oysters and they fry them perfectly here and season them with lemon pepper . The onion rings are tasty here too and so are their frozen lemonades . Everyone working here is friendly too .

    This is the leg

    Ordered a pan of chicken, legs and thighs from Tony-s at 1538 E 87th St. These pieces look like they came from a baby chicken. When I called the guy tells me next time ask for all big pieces. I have never heard of this before from any other Tony's.​

    STEAK, GRILLED CHICKEN KABOB, AND SHRIMP CAJUN FRIES

    YALL! The food here is bomb and so big!!!! My favorite is the Cajun fries you can get it with: chicken, steak, or kabob or all 3 or two meats!!! Y'all it's so fye and big it lasted me for two days!!! My hubby got the fish he says make sure you ask for the certain amount of lemon pepper if your picky... some people love alot some don't want to much. I haven't tried the frozen lemonade but they have many options and I heard they were soooooooooo delicious! They have watermelon, blue, cherry ect... just be the ambiance could use some work of course because it is kinda hood on the outside with people begging for money so if your not use to this then take someone with you or just make sure you be carful because everyone is not used to this type of environment! Try those foods!

    One star was taken away for the simple fact that the cajun fries didn't have enough shrimp but other than that this food is delicious. My daughter who fancies herself a "french fry aficionado" loved the fact that the fries were crispy in addition to having the perfect golden hue to them. The Cajun fries was a delightful surprise. Twas more akin to. Shrimp & chicken po boy with the added fries & sauce. The shrimp to chicken ration is amusing but it's still a great dish & a hefty one at that. For the chicken Philly I opted for lemon pepper fried as a side & while the flavor was either minuscule or not present at all the fries are still perfect. I was extremely satisfied from one dish alone so I can't speak to the chicken holly but I assume I'll return to review many more items.

    I would be back here, the lady behind the counter was nice and helpful. I wasn't sure on what to get my first time here. I got one the bowls and I would say mighty tasty. A little too much sauce for me but for next time I will order less sauce. They have frozen lemonade in different flavors which was delicious. I wasn't too sure what flavor I was able to sample it and I just had to order one, I wish I knew her name.

    Best, BIGGEST sandwiches I've had in Chicago. This place is a must try. Hidden Gem. We had A chicken philly and some Chicken Tenders. Was out of this world. Prices are very reasonable.

    Cheese was overwhelming! Couldn't taste the steak on my Philly. Just too messy. Meat was seasoned well and fries were okay.

    After what felt like 5 years to try this place, I FINALLY got to try the famous burger here! Spark…read morenotes: this place is definitely worth the wait! My friend and I dedicated a day where we would just put our name down and however long it took we would wait haha. We drove into the city which took and hour and we put our name down and waited an hour before we were called. The weather was great so we just walked around the west loop area. We started with a half size of the green salad and a half size of the roasted bone marrow. The house salad is super refreshing. A lot of vinegar in the dressing which I personally really like. Also tasted some fennel which was an interesting flavor. The roasted bone marrow is the winner of the night. I would come back to Au Cheval for this alone. It was paired with a thick slice of Texas toast and a beef cheek marmalade and it is seriously the PERFECT balance of flavors. Fatty. Sweet. Buttery. Literally insane and this is a must order! Then came the famous burger. My friend and I each ordered a single cheeseburger with the egg and bacon added. Something to note is that the single cheeseburger actually has 2 patties and the double cheeseburger has 3 patties (3/4lbs of beef). The presentation itself is beautiful and makes you just not want to eat it haha. The burger itself is so decadent and hefty with the burger patties, cheese, egg and bacon. I'll be honest, I needed some more pickles or just something to cut all the fattiness of the burger. There were pickles in the burger and it is served with a huge pickle spear. But I still was itching for some more bitterness/acid to balance the flavors. It was so decadent, I couldn't finish it all. All in all, I would definitely come back and order the burger again and would recommend it to anyone! We ordered a side of fries which came with their garlic aioli. The fries were cooked to perfection. Super crunchy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside and piping hot! The garlic aioli is perfect and have no notes for it. We also were treated to a vanilla scoop with chocolate sauce which was the perfect cap to our meal! Our waitress was so friendly and my friend and I loved her! She was so sweet and genuine. Hog Salt restaurants never fail with their service!

    Au Cheval is likely the most coveted restaurant destination for out-of-towners…read more "Best Burger" "it's so delicious with the egg" "I'm glad you're ending your trip with Au Cheval". I'd like to throw in my own quote into the gauntlet: "it's ok". It sounds harsh but Our burger patty was noticeably dry. The bread... was also dry. The egg and bacon add-ons were good but as a whole, the burger was missing the core aspect. The bread being dry I can justify by knowing that Au Cheval makes it a point to make everything gluten-free (or so someone told me). I think that's cool but not necessarily what I came looking for. I actually noticed prior to our trip from photos that the buns looked noticeably arid but I gave them no heed because of all of the praise. And I can give them the benefit of the doubt that we were there on a Sunday night, so potentially not the most quality inventory (although I personally don't think that's a great excuse). The service and the ambiance were on point! If you're wondering if there's a required attire (no shorts or flip flops) I wouldn't fret, the atmosphere is a lot more casual despite self-describing as an "intimate" setting. It's definitely more intimate than a normal burger restaurant, with dim lighting and isolated booths but what you're wearing isn't going to dictate how other guests and staff feel. I would cover up anyways just cause there was ac running. I told my friend who moved from Nyc to Chicago and he said he felt the same. And one of our couple friends were surprised to hear the patty being dry, so... off day?

    Easily one of the best burgers in Chicago…read more We both got the bad burger, except my friend got it with mac and cheese. The burger was juicy and the bun was soft; didn't feel like I had to unhinge my jaw just to get a bite like with some other burgers. The toppings for the burger paired harmoniously with the patties, with the pickles adding texture and bite. The fries paired with the burger were honestly whatever, but the spicy aoli paired with it elevated eating the fries. We also got an elote app to share. I did enjoy the cheese and corn and how warm and melty they were, but I think it could've gone without the avocado. The mac and cheese though, now that was absolutely delicious. It was gooey and soft, with the breadcrumbs and bacon adding texture and smokiness. The drinks I got, the sylvan and green eyes, were a little strong for me (I prefer sweeter), but nonetheless excellently mixed. If you like strong, classic flavors, these are for you.

    My husband and I walked in on a Sunday evening for dinner and were able to be seated right away…read more The atmosphere is dark and moody, and it made sense once I realized it was the same owners as Gretel. Loved the 90s female R&B playlist they had going! Little Bad Wolf has been on my list FOR YEARS to try the burger! My husband got the burger with fried onions and I got some Bao because those also looked delicious and were a popular menu item. Honestly the 3 stars are only that high because of the service. Our server was friendly and attentive + the food came out hot and quick. Unfortunately, the food was pretty disappointing. The burger was swimming in a puddle of grease and just picking it up made your hands greasy + was dripping grease. The fries that came with it were floppy, soggy, and sad...but at least warm? I personally wouldn't order this again. The Bao were better, but small for the price and honestly were just okay? It was nice they gave you sauces you could add, but I found the Bao's to already have enough sauce so I didn't need them. Overall I left feeling confused and disappointed. I don't feel the need to come back here - Little Bad Will was a one and done experience for me.
