Small Cheval - Old Town

If you're looking for a burger in Chicago stop looking now and go to Small Cheval. Service was fast. Restaurant is cute. Burger was amazing. Took my first bite and said "Holy sh*t"

My husband and i were visiting chicago, and our my friend recommended this place to us! NO RAGRETSSS! would definitely love to be back here again. Not a huge fan of burgers & fries but this place just hit different! My husband couldn't believe it was actually eating them quick! you gotta get those garlic aioli sauce, they're ducking crack sauce for all i know! Put them in your burger, fries dipping, slurrrp'em! lol this place gets super busy and there's not much benches to seat on. very casual place, came here for lunch. 10/10 would recommend & would come back here again :)

While the wife & I was getting our bikes serviced we stopped by Small Cheval for a burger since it was next door to the bike shop and we heard they had fire burgers. Cool out door seating you seat yourself after ordering. They serve Burgers, fries, shakes & shots! The wifey got a plant based burger, I got the famous double cheeseburger (plain) I always order my burgers plain in order to really taste the product!! I got chocolate shake & we shared some fries. My said the Plant based burger was average at best. So I guess 5/10.The double cheeseburger wasn't the best I've had and nothing to bring me back. I thought it was less than average in have to give it a busted 4/10. The chocolate shake However was great! Nice and thick!! Very chocolaty flavor! 8/10 for the shake. The fries were pretty decent 6.7/10Nothing to write home about. The food was mediocre. The service was cool though. I doubt if we'll return. 5/10

An amazing place for a quick burger and fries. The root beer on tap is some of the best, crisp soda I've ever had. The service is a little slow but the ambiance with the outdoor sitting is perfect any day of the week. Getting your burger with home style is a must!

We ordered the cheeseburger with friends. The food was pretty good, considering the price point. It complimented well with the fries along with the Oreo shake. I highly recommend getting the shake with food--the food came out pretty fast and the overall experience was pleasant.

I eat maybe one cheeseburger a year, and I'm glad this was the one. Heads up: they automatically come with two patties, I did not know this. I got the white cheese sauce on the side for my fries - excellent decision. The fries were lovely and salty, somewhat similar to McD's, which is kind of the king of fries. The burger was really tasty, not overcooked and also not too pink. The bun was nice, looked like a brioche. I would definitely go again when in Chicago.

Stopped by for some lunch after the Wells St Art Fair, it was a good move. This place was recommended to me by someone who was shocked that I've never been, and now I see her point. Really great burgers and the fries were perfectly done. Has a really cool and sizable outside patio for seating. Will be back.

After receiving multiple recommendations to try their burgers, we stumbled upon the old town location! The place was packed so that was a good sign! We didn't wait too long to order and got an order of their golden fries, two double cheeseburgers, a shake and root beer float. The total was around $50 before tip. They only offer outdoor seating but do have heat lamps around their patio area to help on the cooler days! We waited maybe around 20-25 minutes for our food, though the shake and float came out before then. The burger lived up to its hype, delicious. The fries were perfectly crisp. The strawberry milkshake was quite quick. The root-beer float was your typical float imo. Overall good food, but had I known only outdoor seating, I would've come more prepared. Definitely worth trying!

Really bad experience tonight, my burger was essentially uncooked. It was raw and cold to the touch. I've noticed a decline the last few times I've gone and haven't posted, but I felt compelled to do so because I had to throw my meal in the trash tonight. Seems that this chain is swapping servicing a high quantity of people for quality food. The burger and fry quality is noticeably lower. Not sure if it is just the location or the business as a whole.

The food is delicious, and the staff is friendly and attentive. The patio is open, clean, and inviting. A great place to get a tasty burger!
