Small Cheval - Wicker Park

Iconic/NotableWicker Park · American/Burgers Community-sourced, unverified
📍 1732 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60647

Small Cheval Wicker Park sits on Milwaukee Avenue, a few blocks from the Damen-North-Milwaukee six-corner intersection, and it's the neighborhood's easy answer for a burger that doesn't involve a two-hour wait.

It's Hogsalt's fast-casual spinoff of Au Cheval, so you get counter service, no reservations and a menu short enough to memorize. The Signature Double Cheeseburger, served house style with Dijonnaise, onions and pickles, is the reason you're here. Get golden fries with a cheese bun or a cup of truffle cheese sauce. The Famous Fried Chicken Sandwich, four-piece tenders and a plant-based burger cover the rest of the table. Then there's "The Freeze," a full soft-serve setup 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 or Malört.

The beer list stays local, with Half Acre, Off Color, Dovetail and Revolution on draft. Weekday happy hour from 3 to 5pm brings draft beer and cocktail specials. It's open 11am to 10pm Sunday through Thursday and until 11pm Friday and Saturday. Order ahead on the app to skip the line, which matters on a summer weekend.
