Burger and fries didn't do a thing for me. I'll go back to Mr. D's and try to convince him to maybe provide garlic aioli with his fries.

Great burgers and friendly staff, entirely outdoor seating. Given that there is no waiter service the prices are a little high.
Was advised to go to this place after hearing rave reviews on the slob show podcast, the podcast for the rest of us. They rave about this place so it was a must go to when visiting Chicago. While I consider this a good burger,...I don't know if I'd proclaim it as one of the best burgers in Chicago. If I lived in Chicago I'd try it again.More
We stopped on a weeknight. It was super busy. We waited in line to order, then sat outside in the patio area. It wasn’t easy to find an open table. We had burgers, fries, drinks. I had the plant based burger and an Old Fashioned....Others had beef burgers, fries. All very good. I would like to try the milkshakes, as they look delicious. I recommend!More
Burger was fine, but nothing special. Fries were a bit too greasy. However, the chocolate milkshake was tremendous and pulled the restaurant up to four stars.
It's a great place for burgers, fries, shakes, and drinks. There is plenty of space outside to eat and the service. Come here and you will not regret it. If you don't wanna wait in line, consider ordering online for pick up.
This is a burger spot with personality. Small Cheval sticks to what it knows, offering an extremely limited menu of just burgers and fries. I tried a hamburger with everything, and was quite satisfied by this simple but quality dish. The dijon gave it great...flavor, making me wish more burger chains offered the sophisticated French condiment. My online order was prepared quickly, and I grabbed it from the carry-out only pickup room with ease. They got my order wrong, but quickly corrected it without trouble. The “hard fries” are simply amazing. The garlic aioli served with them is far better than any catsup I’ve ever had. The prices here are a bit high, but so is the quality. If all you want is a classic, well-made burger and fries, then Small Cheval is for you.More
What a burger! I'm telling ya, they keep it simple but significant here, and it works like a charm. They make one of the best cheeseburgers I've ever had, and I look forward to returning.
With high expectations, I tried my first Small Cheval cheeseburger and it was love at first bite!! The flavor was incredible and the portion was plentiful for a small meal. Paradise found!
Perfect burgers and great beers. I fell in love with Small Cheval when working in Chicago and went multiple times. The burgers are super and the beers fresh. Great friendly and responsive employees as well. I even made a few new friends at the communal...dining area outside. And be sure to try the aioli with your fries.....Outstanding!More
Tried to get into Au Cheval on a Monday night and was told the wait was 2 hr minimum so Small Cheval it is. No regrets. I got the cheeseburger with lettuce and tomatoes and was happy with my choice. The meat was tender, cooked...just right, and had a lot of flavor. It was pretty messy though, my sauce was constantly dripping out and I had to push the patty back into the bun a few times. Don't wear anything you wouldn't want to accidentally get dirty. My friend got the golden fries to share and that tasted pretty mediocre. Wasn't crispy and didn't have much flavor. I'd definitely go with just the burger next time. Would definitely come again for the value.More
Tried Small Cheval for the first time today. I stopped by just before lunch rush & I split the Cheeseburger & the Plant Based Burger. The regular Cheeseburger was inconsistently pink on the inside & the Plant Based Burger has a bit of a balloon...taste? (I can only describe it as the taste of blowing balloons.) I wasn't a fan of the french fries & I've never disliked a potato. I think maybe I came on an off day or they rushed before the crowd came in - they normally get good reviews. I'm gonna try this place again, possibly another location sometime soon. They have cute patio seating that fills up pretty quick. If you're driving over you can use a buddy system to avoid paying for parking.More
They have a good burger and it is solid , is it the best burger i ever had , This is a solid burger . Chicago is a burger town and there are many solid tasty burgers. It is all in ones own eye ....This restaurant has take out delivery DOWN pat . The stated time of 10 -15 pick up is spot onMore
Small Cheval is by far the best burger in Chicago! It's what a burger should be. That sauce, bun, patty... Just amazing! What's great about the place is they have just what you need. Hamburger or Cheeseburger, you can add bacon If you want and...fries. What can I say... I can't wait to be back in Chicago and go get some burgers at Small Cheval!More
My kind of burger, nice and greasy! Fries were nice enough, milkshake was a bit dull but the burger is wel worth a visit.
