Everyone said that this place is a must try in Chicago, however you have to come knowing you're going to have to wait over an hour. The first time we came in it was a 3 hour wait and we decided to pass. But the second it was about an hour wait and we waited.
Was it the best burger I've ever had? No...
Was it good enough to wait for a couple hours? No...
Besides that, the burger was tasty, the single had a double patty and I opted to add bacon. I could've gone without the bacon. I'm glad that we did stop in and try the place, but it definitely was not something I would go and do again.

Had to try this spot it was recommended to us, it was worth the wait. I definitely recommend going very early to request a table so u get a call back quicker they are very popular/ crowded with limited seating. My favorite is the bone marrow dish with egg& fries but we still tried the burgers this time ???????? definitely coming back soon

Per server recommendation, got the Mexico calling Cruz Blanca beer which was light and tasty, the single cheeseburger (came as double patty) with egg and bacon, and garlic crispy fries. I arrived Monday at opening at 11:05 am and had no wait. The burger was solid, but almost tasted like I could get it anywhere. I think if I had gotten a thicker/larger portion of bacon added, that would definitely make it 5 stars. The crispy fries were decent, but not as crispy as I was hoping for. Overall, I would recommend this place, but it is not somewhere to go out of your way or wait over 30 minutes in line.

Everything was delicious and all the staff were very friendly/helpful! They don’t take any reservations so we arrived around 5:30 to put our name down. We waited about an hour, a little less.
After we were seated, our server arrived quickly and took our orders. He was super attentive-he removed empty plates quickly and refilled our drinks right away.
The burger was perfect, as expected. The salad was bright and fresh, a great complement to the heavy main course. The fries were perfectly crispy and salty.

I love this place! Honestly is the best hamburger I have ever tried!! I’m very picky with hamburgers and this is a solid 10. The single burger comes with 2 meats so that’s a lot! I recommend adding the extra of egg and bacon because it’s so good you wont regret it! The hamburger is huge so you could easily get fries and share fries and the burger with someone else. This place is always busy but it’s worth the wait trust me. The French fries are a must as well, it’s pricey like 10 bucks for just the fries but it is worth it. For the single burger and the fries you’ll spend around 40 dollars. I came twice when I was in Chicago! Loved it!

I consider myself as burger gourmet. Definitely in my top 3 list. I ordered double cheeseburger with bacon. Double comes with 3 patties. Also we ordered a fries comes with sunny side up egg and truffle dipping.
There are approximately 15-20 tap beer options.
We waited 30 minutes but usually waiting time is over an hour. Inside was crowded, if you don't feel comfortable in crowded places, maybe there's not a place for you.

Great burger and espresso martini! We were surprisingly able to walk in and get seating near the bar almost immediately. I would recommend calling ahead to get your reservation though. Ambience was low key with a nice amount of hustle and bustle. Sneaking away from the cold weather and biting into a warm burger is one of life’s simplest joys!

If this isn't the best burger around, it has to be close. I always enjoy this burger - two or three thin patties, topped with bacon, an egg, and some of their special sauce. It's juicy, incredibly flavored, and a pleasure to eat. Their carmelized bacon is some of the best I've had. Top it off with their fries and it's a fantastic and filling meal - worth the wait!

Hands down one of the best burgers I have ever had! We had about a 50 minute wait when we arrived at the location as it is fairly small and bar seating is actual seating so you can’t snag those spots. We got sat a lot quicker and the service was spectacular! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Best Burger Ever!! Go with egg and bacon on a single (which has 2 Pattie’s). Double burger (which has 3 Pattie’s) is not necessary. Au Cheval special sauce is extraordinary. Craft beer selection on draft was impressive. We came during the day to check if it was as good as our night time visits. Sat at a booth with sun poring in. Previously we sat at bar after being out elsewhere. Au Cheval is an excellent night cap. Very friendly staff.
