Customer Reviews
Very clean. Absolute wonderful service. Hot fries were tasty. The burger was a decent size and the bun was extremely tasty.. however almost 50 bucks just for 2 burgers 2 fries and a lemonade was a bit much. Actually it was way too much..10 dollar fries!! 11 dollar burgers.. not a lot of fries either. The bun filled me up.. but I'm afraid I won't eat here again.. way too expensive.
Food was good. Had the double cheeseburger housestyle with fries. And a caramel milk shake. Just be aware that indoor seating is counter style along the windows. There is more group friendly seating outside but it’s not covered or enclosed in the cold season.
The food has improved. My fries had salt on them, my milkshake wasn't watered down and my burger was very flavorful. improvements: The burger was dry. There was barely any sauce on it at all. And for $7, I would like my milkshake to be full. Other than that, everything was great.
For anyone gluten-free, Small Cheval is arguably the best dining option in Hyde Park between their many gluten-free options, great-tasting gluten-free food, and relatively knowledgeable kitchen. Almost all of the menu is already gluten-free (chicken tenders, fries, most shakes) or can be made gluten free with a gluten-free bun. I loved that I felt pretty normal ordering here. We weren't ordering off a separate menu, and it didn't feel like a big deal to be gluten-free. Also, the burger, chicken tenders, and fries we ordered truly tasted normal... in a good way :) After my celiac mom questioned the cashier, she felt comfortable eating there and did not feel cross-contaminated afterwards.
I have never thought of going to this establishment before and now I definitely won’t be going back. I was in Hyde park for a brief time today, instead of going to my first choice Five Guys for a burger I gave this place a try. I am highly disappointed with the double hamburger and fries, the patty was dry and well done which I didn’t order, I am sure that it is a frozen patty. The fries were burnt and old not fresh instead of golden and crisp they were crunchy and looked like driftwood, no seasoning at all no pepper nothing! I would not recommend this to anyone that likes to get hamburgers, stick to Five Guys or even the McDonald’s in Hyde Park.
