“Maybe best hamburger I've ever had. Egg and burger cooked perfectly.”
“1st time at Au Cheval. I thought the burger was excellent. Ordered both hash browns and fries. I would say the HB was better than the fries. How can that be? Food comes out fast and hot. Service was friendly. Overall fun experience.”
“Perfect start to a father / daughter day! Burgers, fries, float - who could ask for more?! ❤️”
“Their double cheeseburgers are perfection. Perfectly toasted golden buns, patties with a crisp, deeply caramelized crust and an unbelievably juicy interior, and melted cheddar that binds everything together. They contain only the bare essentials of a cheeseburger, yet each component is elevated to its highest form. The result is the ideal cheeseburger, with no excess or deficiency. Burgers used to be my favorite food; now the double cheeseburger from Au Cheval is my favorite food.”
“My go-to place for a burger. Great quality, friendly staff. Love it!”
“Súper rico podría decir que la mejor hamburguesa de Chicago, su tocino súper bueno Nosotros esperamos 1 hora para Poder entrar El personal es muy amable”
“I would have skipped the bacon. It was a little too sweet. Everything else was fantastic! Great service and atmosphere. Waited about 45 mins on a Monday afternoon.”
“Great service! The burger was delicious. I’d say the bone marrow is a skip. The fries werent crispy enough for me.”
“One of the few times the hype matched the actual product. Easily one of the best burgers I've ever had. Key lime pie was also fantastic. My only complaint would be more onions on the burger, there was not enough.”
“This is the best burger we've ever had. Talk about an incredible meal! The drinks were perfect, the crispy fries were amazing, and the burger is meat with a capital M. I 100% recommend. The only downside is the music. The base is up so high it literally was shaking our table. It doesn't add to the experience and would be better to have it just slightly lower.”
