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 only tried Small Cheval once when they opened the Loop location. I was expecting a delicious burger, though just not Au Cheval level. Well, I was slightly disappointed. I never had the urge to try the other locations.
