The BEST French fries I had in my life! The burger was really good too. A bit pricey.

It’s a great place for a quick burger. There is usually a line but it does move fast. The menu is fairly simple and is also vegan friendly. The food comes out quick and tastes great with reasonable prices! I would recommend this for a quick bite.

nice little legitimate hole in the wall that had great food. easy to order and tasted great

Great staff, atmosphere, and the Beyond cheeseburger and fries, excellent!

Consistently good quality food and fast service. Lines can get long so definitely wise to order ahead but not a must. Seating is only outdoors and service is fast, assembly line style. This is the place to be to get food like Au Cheval so the out the super long wait times.Burger always comes out cooked perfectly and the fries are always a win. The garlic aioli sauce is the where the magic truly happens though…I could drink that. It pairs so nicely with the fries and burgers.

A native Chicagoan recommended this place, and it was the best decision of my life. I've never liked French fries, but I loved theirs! It's because they fry it in beef fat instead of oil, which actually tastes cleaner. Dip them in mayo--amazing! Hot and crispy. The burger was fantastic too, but I was extra pleasantly surprised by the fries.

great food with fast and friendly service, definitely recommend if you want a good burger!

The Small Cheval burger is always good, definitely in my top 10 for Chicago. I recommend doubling up on the garlic aioli to go with your fries and getting a shake! Just FYI, if you order a cheeseburger, the default is a double - so make sure you're hungry! This location doesn't offer indoor seating, but there are communal picnic benches outdoors where you can bring your dog! If you're ordering delivery, make sure to order 45 min.- 1hr ahead on the weekends!

It’s exactly what you want. Got the double cheeseburger and fries, cooked to perfection, out in less than 15 minutes. Absolutely great spot to get a great tasting burger. Pet friendly patio with dog bowls for water…great spot all around.

As much as I adore Au Cheval, I can't deny that I prefer Small Cheval, especially in terms of pricing. Au Cheval is way more expensive than Small Cheval, and I think it is practical to choose this one over the other one. For me, this location of Small Cheval here in Wells is also better than the other location. It was my first time at this location, and I was with my friends. We were seated outside, and then we went for dinner. The place was really nice, as was the atmosphere, including the lightning that really gave us the vibe that we wanted. This is the best place I could ever think of to grab some delicious cheeseburgers and fries. What I like about them is that they are consistent with their food and it is always delicious. We enjoyed the food as much as we enjoyed the wonderful experience of this restaurant. I'm hoping to visit again soon.
