Au Cheval in downtown Chicago has a nice location. It is not too far from the L/CTA. The ambiance…read morewas excellent. The place appeared charming, rustic, and quaint while surprisingly and strikingly providing an air of an urbane disposition and smooth metropolitan bearing. It was like a paradox of impressive aesthetics. I went there for the burger. At the time, I read it was the best burger in the USA. Naturally, I felt inclined to try it. We were seated right away when we got to the restaurant. We went during a weekday, however. It was a bright, sunny, and warm day. I got one their cheeseburgers with pretty much everything, including bacon and egg. We got fries. I also got a ginger beer. I was grateful for my food and thanked God for it in the Name of the Lord Yeshua. May everyone have an excellent day.

If I had any complaint, it would be regarding the logistics of managing the traffic. But it would be ridiculous for me to hold that against them at this point in their growth. Well done for Au Cheval. Medium rare burger for me.

Easily one of the best burgers in Chicago…read more We both got the bad burger, except my friend got it with mac and cheese. The burger was juicy and the bun was soft; didn't feel like I had to unhinge my jaw just to get a bite like with some other burgers. The toppings for the burger paired harmoniously with the patties, with the pickles adding texture and bite. The fries paired with the burger were honestly whatever, but the spicy aoli paired with it elevated eating the fries. We also got an elote app to share. I did enjoy the cheese and corn and how warm and melty they were, but I think it could've gone without the avocado. The mac and cheese though, now that was absolutely delicious. It was gooey and soft, with the breadcrumbs and bacon adding texture and smokiness. The drinks I got, the sylvan and green eyes, were a little strong for me (I prefer sweeter), but nonetheless excellently mixed. If you like strong, classic flavors, these are for you.

Loved the 90s female R&B playlist they had going! Little Bad Wolf has been on my list FOR YEARS to try the burger! My husband got the burger with fried onions and I got some Bao because those also looked delicious and were a popular menu item. Honestly the 3 stars are only that high because of the service. Our server was friendly and attentive + the food came out hot and quick. Unfortunately, the food was pretty disappointing. The burger was swimming in a puddle of grease and just picking it up made your hands greasy + was dripping grease. The fries that came with it were floppy, soggy, and sad...but at least warm? I personally wouldn't order this again. The Bao were better, but small for the price and honestly were just okay? It was nice they gave you sauces you could add, but I found the Bao's to already have enough sauce so I didn't need them. Overall I left feeling confused and disappointed. I don't feel the need to come back here - Little Bad Will was a one and done experience for me.

Get ready for a 30 minute wait for a hamburger. The excessive long wait killed the desire to ever come back. It seemed like they had to chase the cow to kill it or the grill turned off. The burglar looks good. The patties are very under seasoned and bland. Similar texture to store bought hamburger. Burger totally falls apart while eating it.

The Bad Apple has truly turned bad. This used to be my go-to burger spot and overnight their food…read morequality seemed to go down. The unfortunate thing is that when you have expensive food, like The Bad Apple does, the expectation of consistently good food is higher and they haven't been able to deliver. The last few times I've had a burger from here I've been left underwhelmed. My go-to burger is the Da Bears Burger which runs $18 when you order from GrubHub. The last two times I've had the burger (once at the restaurant and once at home) the smoked brisket has been dry. On my last occasion the bottom half of the bun was burnt. It was barely edible without drowning it in sauce. I've reached the point that the price outweighs the food quality. We have too many delicious burger spots that are priced similarly or less to keep feeling like I'm wasting money,

Even better eating it in person! I learned this is a pressed patty and not a smash burger. This is my favorite burger in the city! Such a cool vibe in here, very fun music and decor. I'm obsessed!

My friend and I each ordered a burger and fries for ourselves. The NADC burger ($16) was decent, but it didn't blow my mind like people have raved about. I know it's not the original location which can play a part as well. What I really enjoyed and even finished my friend's were the fries. I love some good fries and these were top quality. You could taste the difference of the oil these fries were made in. They were nice and crispy and very good! I could keep eating them and would rather get the fries than the burger next time. I'd probably still get a burger since I need some meat and savory.

The ceviche was bland to me & didn't taste that great to be honest. The fish & chips which comes with fries actually surprised me at the giant size of the serving and the fries were hot, fresh, and delicious. The fish itself although hot and fresh had no flavor at all. Very filling, but tasteless. Overhyped & I could not recommend. I also originally ordered a root beer which the waitress confirmed upon repeating my order back to me, but I never recieved. It seemed as though service since I was dining solo was also very slow as well as I watched my waitress go to other tables and not mine when I kept looking to ask where was my drink. Overall, food severely lacked flavor and there's too many other places that can you dine at for better of taste/service.

Choose your bun, protein, seasoning, and toppings and you're off to a feast for your tastebuds! Regardless of choice, you won't be disappointed! ** ABSOLUTELY ... order their fries. There have been several occasions that I have order these delicious potatoes to compliment a sandwich grabbed elsewhere, accompanied a meal at home, or merely wanted some flipping excellent chips. Today had the Shrimp burger and as always . . . . did NOT disappoint. After the wars of commercial burgers of late, wish i would have considered doing one. Authentically the best! Counter service - super friendly and energetic!
