Au Cheval

Yes this place is the real deal. Quite possibly the best burger I've ever sunk my teeth into. Get the Single cheese burger with the egg and bacon . Plan to wait at least an hour to be seated, worth it!

One of the best Burgers you may ever have. Come early as it gets crowded and may wait hours. Single burger is 2 patties, double burger is 3 patties. Fries with mornay sauce is great side! Enjoy!

When I think about this place, I make obscene noises. The burger is THAT good. Order the single (which has two patties) with egg and bacon (which is actually pork belly ). Add fries . Cry with delight.

Double burger is 3x patties. First time & hungry? Here’s what I’d recommend. Get a whisky & pickle shot, an old fashioned, side of fries , bread & butter pickles and the Double Burger (plain).

The burger...so good. The bacon is slab/thick cut and unreal. The single is actually a double. You won't be able to breathe or move after, but 100% worth it. Didn't have the Bloody Mary but looked ????

Worth the hype and wait. Get there after work, put your name on the list, then head to The Betty. By the time you're done with your 4th drink it's dinner time!

The quality of food—crispy potato hash with duck heart gravy ; foie gras , scrambled eggs and toast ; and those damn tasty griddled burgers—puts this spot in a new category. Read more

Get the single burger with foie gras . It's not on the menu . And if you are up for something new to the appetite, get the bone marrow . I wouldn't get it the second time though...

The food was delicious.. the service was great once you get to sit. They offered great recommendations. If you are visiting Chicago you must try this place. Just plan ahead and expect a very long wait

I don't know why anyone would order anything other than a burger here. Get the cheeseburger with an egg and that amazing pork belly that will forever remain in my dreams. Ciders are also delicious.

The place was so lively and has a great atmosphere. I would say that this was one of the best burgers I have ever had. It was juicy, seasoned well , had tons of flavor and had a perfect bun .

A very hip restaurant with allegedly the best burger in town . I can say it is a very solid burger and the root bear float is very tasty. It gets very crowded and there are long waits to get a table.

The cheeseburger here may look like a simple, griddled double patty burger , but don't be fooled: this burger is what food writer Francis Lam calls "tremendous work, thin patty diner style magic."

The burger here really is as amazing as everyone says. Add the bacon . Add the egg . Get a beer . Or two. A be prepared for a life-changing experience. And a really long wait .

We were craving to come to this place we waited for an hour for a table but it was worth it what a burger !!! The fries the desserts , they totally made made my day. A must in Chicago

While the burger is excellent (definitely add the bacon & egg ), it's the Fried House-Made Bologna Sandwich that I'll be dreaming of. Crazy delicious and satisfying – cheap too. WinstonWanders.com

Waiting time is crazy. Service a bit chaotic.. The burger is spectacular, great meat/bun. The bacon though, for my taste, unnecessary, a bit sugary. Beautiful green salad . Fries so-so. Great tap beer !

The wait is always very long so put your name in early and grab a drink at one of the many nearby spots. The food is worth the wait! Cheeseburger w/ Egg (& Bacon ): 10/10

Omg the burger is so amazing! It's so simple but it's so juicy and full with flavor! You have to get it with the sweet bacon and a light beer trust me you won't regret it!

The line to get a table is insane (about 1-2hs!). Go early and grab a drink close by while you wait or plan to get lucky and get one of the 6 bar seats . The good news: It's really worth it.

This place is incredible. There was @ a 20-minute wait after 1pm. I would imagine it longer during peak lunch time, but it's well worth the wait. The burger was perfect! ad an egg/bacon and enjoy.

The best burger I have ever had hands down, had three in a week it was so good. I have been to a lot of burger places and this one wins my heart.

Best burger ever! The simplest one is big enough (double patty) and if you add bacon & egg , it’s a lot. Get ready to wait, or better, just walk in between meals’ time and you will find a place.

This is my favorite restaurant . They serve the best cheeseburger in the world. Get it with bacon and an egg .

fried bologne sandwich , single burger (imo add egg skip the bacon ) glass of champagne ? fries are fine. burger rates against anyone, bologne sandwich is in a class of it's own. green salad is nice

There burgers are huge and definitely a plate to share (add bacon and egg to a single burger , is enough) have it with some hash potatoes with duck heart gravy . Oh, have a beer ! ????

I had Au Cheval's meaty double patty, ooey gooey cheeseburger three days ago and I'm still dreaming about it. It is the best burger I've ever had hands down. Read more

The burger with foie and bacon is honestly the best one I have ever had. Go early and put you on the list. Otherwise it is impossible to get a table

Serious burger place ! The best burger I ever had in Chicago. Try the classic burger and the amazing marrow bones with marmalade .

One of few places that exceeds the hype. The burger is phenomenal, but make sure to add the thick cut bacon . And try the fries with the fried egg !

Just about everything. However this is still not the best burger in Chicago , those can be found at Bop-n-Grill. The burger was very good but the house made Bologna was OUTSTANDING. Fries best in Chi!

Tried their famous burger and had the mille-feuille for dessert after waiting for less than twenty minutes (visited on a weekday for an early lunch ). Both dishes were good.

came here on my birthday, no doubt best burger ever! Love the ambiance. Even though it's a very popular place, you feel like you have just discovered something great and can't wait to share!

Your meal should always include the fried bologna sandwich and indulgent crispy fries with mornay sauce, garlic aioli and a fried egg . For a twist, you could get the potato hash with duck gravy . Read more

The cheeseburger was one of the best I've ever had. I'd highly recommend sitting at the counter to watch the kitchen crank out some very sophisticated dishes for a diner style atmosphere.

Well worth the 1.5 hour wait...the crispy fries with egg is must, but a surprise hit was the smashed potatoes with gravy ! An absolute must for out of towners and locals alike.

Definitely get the burger . Duh. Also get an order of the bone marrow on the side!

One of best burger restaurants in the world. Very very busy - first come first served - single burger meand double patty

Their cheeseburgers are of particular note: thin, griddled patties deliciously salty, melted American cheese ; and if you know what’s good for you, a fried egg .

Self described as a “diner style bar & restaurant with a passion for eggs ,” Au Cheval is getting most of their acclaim from their top notch burger which many claim is the best in the country . Read more

As everyone says, the burgers are delicious! Was a bit disappointed with the crispy fries and regular fries and didn’t get lucky with my drink choice, the pomal, but friendly and kind staff !

Yes, you might have to wait and no, you won't be able to do it at the bar but it's worth it. Split a standard cheeseburger and the fries with mouthy sauce so they won't have to roll you out.

The burger with bacon is without question the BEST burger I've ever had. The mashed potatoes with garlic gravy was outstanding. An hour wait for lunch - they text your cell when ready 4 u.

Pro Tip: Arrive after midnight for the late night-only chilaquiles (though taking them down alone is ambitious). Read more

Cheeseburger with eggs and bacon is good. The bacon definitely gives the burger a nice sweet peppery flavor. It paired well with the Noon Whistle Gummylicious IPA

Obviously the burger (be warned: the single is a double and the double a triple), but don't sleep on the General Jane's chicken and side of bacon .

They'll text you when your table is ready. Put your name in early, go drink on Randolph, leave your worries behing. Get the burger . Just a single. It's 3/4 lb. Add bacon . Devour.

Ok it's not only about food, it's also about the energy. This is a beautiful gastropub in Fulton Market with cheeseburgers to die for! Kitchen is closed between 3-5pm btw

solo visit, center seat at the bar , order single cheeseburger + bacon + egg . Bliss.

Where to begin the burgers are the best in Chicago! The Fried Chicken is a great appetizer for the whole table and if you go after midnight the chilaquiles are a site to be seen.
