“I just happened to stumble upon your vegetarian burgers by accident and it was sooo good! Thank you!”
“This was me, hangry, iron-deficient, before scarfing down their burger and well-salted fries. No notes. Happy as a clam. Too busy enjoying to get any food pictures”
“Not sure if this is true but if it is get over there and support them before this happens!! Update: I guess it didnt happen! Gives me time to get over and eat there soon”
“This was my first time at this location - loved it here! Food was great as always. Tons of outdoor seating (no indoor seating), and clean bathrooms.”
“Gluten free chicken tenders were A+. Also had a gluten free bun for the burgers that was better than most places. Highly recommend as a celiac.”
“Small Cheval...I was really impressed. The quality of the food and service is on par with Au Cheval in the West Loop, but the experience is completely different. We were in and out in under 20 minutes. Small Cheval is NOT a substitute for Au Cheval even tho my burger was on point! it's a much different experience from the one at Au Cheval. At Au Cheval the precision that's put into constructing every burger is straight food science to a different level. Also, the way they dress their burgers is kinda different. Small Cheval is definitely the perfect place if you're looking for a delicious burger and fries, but don't have 2-3 hours to wait in line. 100% recommend!”
“A burger place in a great spot that does the job well. Limited offerings but make much tastier and flavorful burgers than the fast food chains and the service is really quick and efficient. Are these burgers outstanding and would you go out of your way to have one here? Not really. Give it a try if you are in the area. The shake is amazing too .”
“Food was great! Still, wouldn’t come back as regularly due to somewhat high prices.”
“Well… I’m not entirely sure what all the hype is about. Small Cheval makes a good cheeseburger and fries, no more, no less. I’ve had better, and I’ve definitely had worse. That said, it’s solid, dependable, and hits the spot when you’re in the neighborhood and craving a burger without overthinking life. Would I go out of my way? Probably not. Would I stop by again if I’m nearby and hungry? Absolutely. 🍔🍟 But not on a cold day, there is no inside seating”
