Hogsalt's Au Cheval made the double cheeseburger a pilgrimage, complete with an hour-plus wait. Small Cheval strips the idea down to essentials, with counter service, no reservations and a menu short enough to memorize. The Lake Street location sits a short walk from the Randolph Street original, and that's the point: same Fulton Market neighborhood, a fraction of the time. The Signature Double Cheeseburger comes house style, with Dijonnaise, onions and pickles, and a cheese bun or a cup of truffle cheese sauce is the right call for the golden fries. The Famous Fried Chicken Sandwich and four-piece tenders cover the non-beef crowd, and there's a plant-based burger too.

Then there's "The Freeze," a full soft-serve operation with hand-dipped cones in cherry or Goldbrick, concretes like Butterfinger Pie and Banana Pudding Pie, handspun shakes and boozy shakes spiked with whiskey, Fernet, amaretto or, because this is Chicago, Malört. The beer list stays local, with Half Acre, Off Color, Dovetail and Revolution on draft. Happy hour runs every weekday from 3 to 5pm, with draft beer and cocktail specials. It's open 11am to 10pm Sunday through Thursday and until 11 on Fridays and Saturdays. Order ahead on the app to skip the line.
