Customer Reviews
I visited Au Cheval this past Sunday - I arrived 30 minutes early and was able to sit at the bar with zero problem. I chose to sit next to the pass where the CDC was calling out orders to the masterful chefs. It was an awesome experience - these chefs are professionals and expertly craft some of the best food I've ever had in Chicago. The fries were crispy and addicting - especially with the aioli it's served with, be careful, and try to not fill up on fries, that burger is coming next... The cheeseburger with all the toppings including egg and bacon was sublime. I've never had a cheeseburger that good in my life - it is well worth the price. While at the pass, I noticed they were preparing bone marrow - I had no idea and the CDC saw how excited I was and prepared a half order for me. It came with a beef cheek marmalade that takes 3 days to prepare.... this was amazing, it left me speechless. During my weekend trip to Chicago, this was one of the top highlights, if not the best highlight. I left full, happy, and in awe of the professionalism of the chefs and staff. Everything about Au Cheval was perfect - I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. 10.9/10 stars
Amazing Burger Experience at Au Cheval Diner – One of the Best! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you’re a burger lover, Au Cheval Diner should be at the top of your list! We went in with high expectations, and this place did not disappoint. The burger was absolutely incredible—juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The fried egg topping is a must if you’re a fan of that extra richness, but even without it, the burger stands out on its own. The inside of the diner has a fun, lively vibe, and the open kitchen adds a cool touch. Service was friendly and impressively fast, making for a great overall dining experience. The wait time was minimal (around 10 minutes), though it can get longer during peak hours, so just be prepared. The only downside? The fries weren’t my favorite, but the burger more than made up for it. Highly recommend this spot if you’re craving one of the best burgers in town!
Great Burgers. Must try to get in here if in Chicago and you live be burgers. Go at 5 if you don’t want long wait. Add bacon, life changing Fried bologna sandwich was awesome too
I will keep this short. This is a must. Best burger I have ever had. The quality of the meat combined with the candied, pepper bacon, and the most perfectly cooked egg on top makes this a must. This beats any Wagyu burger any day of the week. Not to mention the great atmosphere and extremely informative and helpful staff.
