Small Cheval- Rosemont

Gluten free buns, nice seating area inside and outside.

This is a great place to grab a burger, some fries, and an awesome milkshake! Hamburgers are delicious with some fresh options and sides. The unique sauce is really fantastic. The best part about this specific establishment is there knowledge of food allergies and the great way that they can handle and accommodate them. Many gluten free options are available here.

Not having been to Au Cheval yet, it’s hard to compare Small Cheval to its predecessor. With that being said, we still tackled Small Cheval. It’s a fast casual restaurant with a few items on their menu: cheeseburger, burger, grilled cheese, chicken tenders or chicken sandwich. They also have a smashburger, but why? I ordered the cheeseburger and my wife got the chicken sandwich (on the recommendation of our cashier/server). You can get fries or truffle fries (don’t hold me to that, I just don’t recall). The fries are large enough for two people. I’m a cheese fry guy. The don’t really have cheese fries but you can get a cheese sauce cup on the side. It was okay, nothing spacing. For the chicken tenders/sandwich, they have a bunch of sauces to choose from. My wife had the buffalo sauce and said it was pretty good. As for the burger. It was good. I asked for it medium rare and it was cooked that way. The bun held up so well, that I wish there was less of it. It’s very bready (see thick). It was made to order which was nice. It was a good burger overall. The chicken sandwich was delicious! It was a thick, juicy breast lightly fried. And the fried chicken is gluten free. I’m not sure if they have a gluten free bun, but they were proud to tell me the fried chicken is gluten free. They have fountain drinks (just go up and ask for refills). They also serve alcohol, but is a limited list. They even have alcohol to mix in the ice cream. They also have soft serve, shakes, and concrete mixers (like Dairy Queen’s blizzards). My wife got a soft serve vanilla cone and I got their banana cream pie concrete mixer. Their soft serve is a mix between DQ and gelato. It’s very smooth, creamy, and refreshing. The banana cream pie mixer was really, really good. However, you did have to get through half a small drink size cup to get to the banana cream pie part, but it was good and very filling and easily can be shared. Lastly, the staff was very friendly and helpful giving you their thoughts on what to order. Overall, if you’re looking for a good burger, chicken sandwich and some good ice cream, you certainly can’t go wrong with Small Cheval.
