This place has great fries at $4.99 bc they are just crispy enough on the outside and inside it's great too bc it was hot and soft. The thickness is just right. They give you heinz ketchup plus special mayo on the side. They have hamburgers and drinks and the menu is simple. I love it bc you can just pick from a few good items and not think too deeply about what to eat. And it's a cute size and enough seats...and ppl take out a lot too. The ambience is excellent bc it's right on the river. And you can walk downstairs from the restaurant and you will pass through a beautiful lobby (see pics). This is not a big enough place to accommodate a party of 20. But for intimate gatherings of 2-6 it’s doable. And a lone hungry person will enjoy a view w good fries and a burger. Plus they give you free cold water and plastic cups. You could also bring your own bottle or cup to be kind to the earth.

Kid-friendliness: Nice staff and it’s fine to bring kids. They were nice and gave us a Small Cheval sticker for a 7yo. See pics.

Small cheval has excellent juicy and flavorful burgers but the fries are extremely salty even when asked to remake it with less salt. It took away a lot from enjoying the meal. The white cheese sauce was salty but really delicious and high quality. Salted caramel shake and ice cream are very creamy!! Some staff were very friendly and some were not so much.

Vegetarian options: There is a plant based burger

Don’t expect an au chevalier experience but decent for a quick, moderately priced bite. Nice location

SCAM! Hidden 3.25% fee added onto the receipt that is not disclosed anywhere. Complete ripoff! Enough is enough, these hidden fees have to stop!

Came around 2pm on a Friday, the place was pretty quiet but the burger came out fast. Same great cheeseburger as any other Small Cheval location I’ve been to, convenient location to the loop.

This is my favorite burger in Chicago, and this newer location definitely keeps up with the rest of them! Burger and fries are always so wonderful and I totally recommend! Truffle cheese sauce for fries is also to die for!

ok dinner for 5 burgers fries and coke products $100 plus
They are grilled burgers good quality but not memorable or anything special
I have had the burger at buona beef and consider it better!
in fact cheval is not by any stretch superior to mcds quarter pounder
It's a burger and definitely not in the category of great one of the best
it's your $$
nice location on the river but seating is chaotic!!!
geared toward takeout and delivery to the business district!

I have been to a few of the Small Cheval locations. This is my favorite!! The burgers and fries are always perfect. The staff is always happy and it just has such a fun vibe. Bonus. Great views of the river and 150 n riverside is an architectural gem. After your burger, go in the lobby of the building and check out the video installation.

Vegetarian options: A really good veggie Burger!!

Dietary restrictions: They have amazing gluten free buns and lettuce wraps.

This place was A1! Deshaun, the cook, did his big one. The place gave a great vibe, the music on point, and the staff /service was phenomenal. I'm visiting Chicago from out of town and every time I come to town from here on out I'll be stopping by. Burgers and fries were 🔥 and shakes were delicious.
