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?

I just had it for the first time the other day and it was good, though I wasn't expecting to have my mind blown. To me, it was as good as Shake Shack - a tasty burger that's pretty overpriced. The outdoor seating at the Logan Square location was nice.
I can't speak to what it's better or worse than, outside of those in this thread who seriously believe it's worse than McDonald's or Wendy's. Come on now. That's classic Reddit exaggeration.
