Customer Reviews
My partner and I visited Small Cheval and each ordered a burger, then shared the fries and chicken fingers. The burger bun was soft and airy, which I really liked, but the patty itself was thinner than expected and left me and my partner wanting more. The chicken fingers were juicy and well-cooked, but the fries were just okay—not bad, but not memorable. With such a limited menu, I was really hoping for food that felt exceptional across the board, and while everything was decent, it didn’t quite get there. There were also a few service and experience details that stood out. My partner wanted a beverage, but there was no one behind the bar at the time. (I was able to order my wine from the cashier who took our order). Additionally, only offering ketchup packets for dine-in made the overall
Great location first of all, the food was amazingly good for it being my first time here. I always passed by it while working, but never stopped by and actually sat. Love the atmosphere even during the off season. Burgers 🍔 were delicious, and the shake was pleasantly thick. 😋
Really really good burgers. This place has a nice atmosphere with a great bar. I'm always surprised to find such a huge, nice looking bar in a place that's essentially a fast food burger restaurant. The atmosphere was very warm. The serving staff at the front was very polite and helpful. Given it was our first time coming here, The hamburgers were probably the star of the meal, well the milkshake was closed second. The fries were okay but quite oversalted for our taste. Definitely a great spot if you're coming out to the ball game.
I brought my husband here on Saturday and Sunday. The bartender is friendly and welcoming. All 3 staff members we interacted with were quick and kind. The double cheeseburger is fantastic with the garlic aioli sauce. (Which is an option on the side) also great with your fries.
Had the double and chicken tenders at Small Chavel in Wrigleyville, and wow—so good! The burger was juicy and perfectly cooked, and the chicken tenders were crispy and flavorful. The staff is super friendly, and the cozy vibe makes it a great spot to hang out. Definitely coming back!
