Small Cheval is a Chicagoland original. We took the essential basics of a summer afternoon on the patio — burgers and beers, fries and cones — and made that the whole menu.We get lines out the door, but we've got the rush down to an art, delivering the most satisfying food hot and quick. It's the kind of thing that only happens when you're part of a team that loves the rush, loves working together, and loves sending customers back out into the world satisfied and happy. If you join us, you'll discover that each Small Cheval is a neighborhood place with its own quirky character, but deep down they all share an ironclad commitment to simplicity, consistency, generosity, and quality. More and more Small Chevals keep popping up because both we and our customers share the sense that here on the patio, things are just exactly right.
