"I find the Single Cheeseburger to be anything but single: it arrives as a double by default, built with thin, crisp-edged patties, American cheese, house dijonnaise, and thick-cut pickles on a soft, toasted bun; optional add-ons like a fried egg or thick-cut bacon push the already rich original even further, while the double stacks three patties for an even more indulgent, deliberate diner-style experience." - Stephanie Gravalese
"Logan Square’s The Freeze is back—sort of. Small Cheval has opened a location where the iconic stand used to be, and in addition to keeping The Freeze’s iconic sign, they are also serving dipped ice cream cones and milkshakes. And of course, Small Cheval’s usual line-up of burgers and fries." - john ringor, nick allen
"We all know the Au Cheval burger is the best out there. But as good as it is, that’s also how big of a pain in the a** it is to get a table. That’s why Small Cheval is so great. The Small Cheval burger is not quite as good as Au Cheval’s because you can’t order it with bacon, but it’s pretty damn close, and you can always get in." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor
"For your best chance to eat the Au Cheval burger without a wait, come here during the day in the middle of the week. Of course, we can’t promise that other people with the day off won’t have the same idea. Best of luck." - adrian kane, john ringor, nick allen, veda kilaru
"For the best chance to eat the Au Cheval burger without a wait, come here during the day in the middle of the week. Then wait for three hours with everyone else who had the exact same idea. To be clear, yes, you’ll probably still have to wait—but it’s worth it." - adrian kane
