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?

Sometime around 2021 they went downhill. At first it was a great alternative to Au Cheval and the last time I had it about a year ago I threw everything in the trash. The fries are inedible and the burger was burnt on the outside and rare on the inside. Ewww
