    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!

    Round two at The Churro Waffle and I tried the Lox Benedict. Super tasty! My husband got the chicken churro waffle but said it wasn't as fresh as last time. It has extra pizzazz with a purple flower though! They're currently decorated for spring/Easter and it looks super cute!

    It's official, I'm breaking up with Churro Waffle. I used to come here once 2-3 times a month but their prices have gotten so out of control, it has gone beyond what is reasonable. The suddenly jump in prices in a couple of months is so weird. On my most recent visit, our meal came out to over $60. The same meal that used to cost less than $40 and included coffee. I could understand blanket rising of prices but to raise the price and then charge $4 for ingredients that used to be included is beyond me. They have literally lost all sense of reality. Inflation is a real thing. But to give less food, less options, and charge 33% more. It just doesn't seem sustainable. Condiments like sour cream used to be and additional $.75 and now it's $2. When I used to go to Churro, it would be jam packed. We'd have to wait in the car to waiting for a table to open up and it was worth it. I went last Sunday and it was unseasonably warm... perfect brunching weather. The restaurant was half full and I think I know why. With the prices being upped so high, it just makes sense to go to a nicer restaurant. The prices are the same, food is better, and ambiance is perfect. Churro, I hope management really tries to turn this place around because I really enjoyed it for a couple of years.

    Who doesnt love CHURROS?!? Better yet, how about a CHURRO WAFFLE?!? They've has put a DELICIOUS spin on the traditional waffle and made a churro into a brunch and breakfast favorite!!! They have other flavors such as OREO - with Oreo Crumbles, caramel sauce, cookies n cream ice cream or their BACON CHURRO WAFFLE - hickory smoked bacon, bacon, bacon and more bacon! Additionally they have omelettes, paninis, and breakfast bowls and burritos!!! Check them out!!!

    Wow! So happy I finally got to come here. They have recently started accepting some reservations…read moreand I was lucky enough to get one. I understand why they are famous for their burgers. I had the single cheeseburger and it lived up to the hype. I learned that the single burger is actually a double and the double is actually a triple. I was recommended to add an egg and bacon to the burger and I'm glad I did. Each bite was a glorious burst of flavor. The bacon is epic. Thick juicy slices. The cheeseburger was perfect. I didn't need additional condiments and that never happens for me. The fries were good too and came with a delicious aioli. For beverages, I loved my Arnold Palmer. I also tried a cocktail--the Long Island Iced Coffee. It was pretty strong. I added a shot of bourbon cream to it and that sweetened it up and made it perfect for me. Unfortunately, I didn't have room for dessert. Cute restaurant. Cozy inside. They have an outdoor patio as well. If you don't have a reservation, be prepared to wait. Excellent food. Excellent service. Jennifer took great care of me and made great suggestions. It's pricy but it's worth it.

    Several people who have either visited or lived in Chicago told me to try the infamous cheeseburger…read moreat Au Cheval so I made it a point to stop by during my trip. I planned to dine at Au Cheval for Sunday lunch and unfortunately there weren't any reservations available on Resy for lunchtime when I checked. Of note, Resy charges $2.50 per person to book the reservation which does not go towards the bill. After looping around for parking and finding a metered spot, I checked in at the restaurant shortly after 11:30am and was told I was 28th in line and the host could not quote a wait time due to the inclusion of online reservations. I thought that was a bit odd so I ended up walking around to explore the surrounding businesses. I finally received a text that my table was ready around thirty minutes later. The restaurant itself is not big but gives off an old fashioned vibe which I guess correlated with the type of food served. I ordered a single cheeseburger, a side of thick cut peppered bacon, and a side of French fries. I figured it was more economical to order a side of bacon rather than adding it to my burger so I can eat as much or as little as I wanted. The food came around fifteen minutes later. The burger itself did not look as big on the plate as I expected, although it was apparent how thick the two hamburger patties were. Since everyone was raving about the burger I had high expectations which unfortunately were not met. The burger tasted like a burger found at any average diner across the country. The bacon pieces were thick and flavorful but I don't think they elevated the burger as much as I'd like. Also, I wished there were cheese options rather than offering only American cheese which is probably the cheapest cheese that can be added on a burger. The fries reminded me of In-N-Out fries but the fries at the bottom of the cup were way too salty as if all the salt was added to the bottom of the cup instead of trickling down after being sprinkled on the fries on top. Considering all the hype about Au Cheval and the claims that their cheeseburger is one of the best burgers in the country or world, I was very underwhelmed. If this burger were to represent the Chicago food scene on a national level, it should rank lower than several other major cities in the United States.

It came with pita bread which added to the dinning experience. Just wonderfully enjoyable. My wife enjoyed the Fish and Chips which beat Bobby Flay. True words from the menu. Wife said if was the best fish and chips she has ever had. Then came the dessert. Now I asked Nicolas and he suggested Pavlova and Blood Orange. Which lead me to survey Margaret and she suggested Sticky toffee date cake. After a friendly jostling back and forth of desert knowledge Greg the Maitre-d made also suggested the Sticky toffee. Both came and to be honest both were outstanding. Excellent choices. All and all this was a great dinning experience from beginning to end. We will return next time we are in Chicago.
