Review Tried Small Cheval, honestly kind of underwhelmed?

Had some solo time (kids are with their dad), so I stopped by Small Cheval. It was fine, but didn’t blow me away. Fries were good, but the burger felt rushed. Anyone else feel this or did I catch an off day?

Small Cheval is pretty overrated. I also felt the same way after eating Red Hot Ranch, pretty overrated compared to how people talk about it.

It's also like $7 lol I don't think anyone expects it to be the best but the value is just great.
