    The Berry Waffles!

    I randomly tried this place after asking Siri for "nearby breakfast spots," and am SO GLAD that I did! They have a great (but not overwhelmingly large) menu with standard Mexican offerings like chilaquiles, standard American options, as well as French crepes. I had the Berry Crepes, and a side of bacon. Not only were the crepes delicious (and with fresh fruit), but for a little breakfast spot in a strip mall I was VERY surprised by the beautiful presentation. I'm not someone who typically takes pictures of food, but I had to take a picture this time! The bacon was cooked just the way I like it, a little crispy + a little chewy = perfection. They do kind of crank the AC, and even as person who likes it a little chilly, I was a tad cold. But that's a very minor thing, and it would never prevent me from recommending this hidden gem! I'll definitely return to try some of the other breakfast options here, especially after the waitress told me everyone loves their pancakes.

    New drink!!

    Let me start by saying the good reviews don't do this place justice. Here are just a few perks outside of the food. Parking on site, excellent wait staff, family friendly, clean, accommodating, working clean high chairs, and fresh to order food. The ambiance was pleasant and the place is bright and inviting there are tables and booths available. It is handicapped and stroller accessible. Now to the food!!! Delicious, hot, fresh out the pan, well seasoned and wonderful portion sizes. We ordered the classic French toast which hubby said it was good enough to eat without syrup. My oldest (11h had the Oreo French toast and said it was better than good! The Oreo cream on top was his fave! I had the blue your own breakfast with gas over hard, bacon and pancakes! Listen ihop has NOTHING on how good these pancakes were. Crispy edges, buttery and golden brown! Food was baby approved as my picky toddler ate without hesitation everything he was offered! They were so kind to our family and when they had extra chicken tenders from and order they brought them out to my kids for free. Finally I tried a new drink on the menu pictured below! It was an Auga Fresca with apple and lemonade and came with the cutest flower garnish! Delicious and refreshing. I can't say enough about this gem! We will be coming back! Like tomorrow! I highly recommend if you're visiting Chicago to check them out! You will not be disappointed!

    Loved this place! Not super big, but they do have parking in front. They did a great job with both their sweet and savory food options. Coffee was a little stronger than I like it, but they had different creamer options. Service was friendly.

    Went here because the fun name and stayed for the awesome food and service! I got the horchata coffee and it was the perfect balance. If you're in the area I def recommend.

    Simply delicious. Love that there is parking outside in lot in front. Fantastic service. Professional and attentive. And the food was incredible. The best waffle I have ever had. Period. And the chilaquiles was so yummy and had great spice. Would definitely go back and try many more dishes. My whole family loved! Inside was super cute with grinch Christmas theme with a nice Instagram photo wall spot.

    These waffles are truly one of a kind- crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and full of flavor. I always look forward to them whenever I visit. The sea salt caramel ice cream is a standout too absolutely delicious, like a perfect "chef's kiss." The service is consistently excellent, and the ambiance has a cozy, welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay a while.

    Food was very good, great service, Karina was amazing and funny. Little pricey but hey, how it is sometimes.

    This place is SOLID - excellent for brunch. The namesake Churro Waffle is a MUST on your visit. This is a belated review of a visit at noon on a Saturday in late April: Located in a small shopping plaza, it's not much on the outside, but - big pro for me - boasts a parking lot. Inside is a family-friendly more modern diner-esque (but slightly more crowded) vibe. There was a bit of a wait for a table for 4 on Saturday - nothing too long though. And yes, the wait was well worth it. I'm a savory brunch lover - so much so I usually forgo the sweets which can be too much for me, unless it's a well-done combo. The Bacon Waffle (substituted in Churro Waffle) with the Sea Salt Caramel Ice Cream on the side (so it wouldn't get soggy and I could control the ratio) was a PEFRECT BLEND OF SAVORY AND SWEET and will definitely have me coming back when I'm next in the area. Besides my beloved Bacon Waffle, we ordered the Chicken Churro Waffle, Steak Fajita Bowl, Eggs Benedict, Lox Benedict, Carnitas Benedict, and Hibiscus Lemonade (sweet and refreshing), and a Horchata Iced Coffee (very good)! Everything was delicious (only complaint was the friend who ordered Carnitas Benedict said it was a bit overpowering a flavor for the egg / hollandaise) - and the service was quick, kind, and able to easily accommodate requests and substitutions. Definitely a rock-solid brunch choice - highly recommend!

The burgers are amazing - it has that beef tallow taste and adding the sunny side up egg was awesome. It's cooked perfectly to where the yolk is not dripping down my fingers, but just enough to where it trickles into the burger and adds another dimension of flavor. The interesting thing is that "single" patties are actually double, and "double" patties are actually triple. Not sure why they named it like that, but our server was good about making that known. Fries were solid but not as amazing as the burger. Wished they were a little thinner. Pretty small seating inside, only a couple booths, tables, and bar seating. They do have a fair sized patio for outdoor seating, so that helps with getting people in and out. Since the space is a bit compact, it can get a little noisy inside. We did paid street parking

We were seated at a comfortable booth near the window. For drinks, I chose the Citrus Ritual mocktail, which I loved - so well-made and refreshing. I also got a Single Cheeseburger with the added egg and an order of French Fries to share with my coworker. I was a bit confused because it turns out a single cheeseburger at Au Cheval is actually a double because it comes with two beef patties. Personally, I would've just preferred one. Otherwise, it was a very nice burger, but I can't say it changed my brain chemistry. The French Fries were also tasty. Service was incredibly professional, attentive, and quick. Worth the visit!
