Au Cheval is well known restaurant based out of Chicago. They specialize in elevated burgers and American dishes. When they opened a New York City location, there were crazy lines out the door. The bigger brother to this restaurant is “4 Charles” which specializes in prime rib. Both the burger and prime rib sandwich at Au Cheval are also found at “4 Charles”. I don’t have the patience to book a “4 Charles” reservation and pay the crazy insane prices for steak, so I thought I’d try some of their offerings here.

Typically on the weekends, both this location and the midtown location have a huge line of people waiting outside. And for what reason? We came on a Friday night around 5 PM, and there were probably at most 3 or 4 small groups of people in a big space. The cookie shake was a massive vanila-ish shake that had a bunch of sweets on it. It was good, but it is all sugar.

Pretty good albeit expensive. The beer selection here is pretty good.

Reminds me of Pops but more standard burgers. Still pretty good and not too pricey.

Pretty good burger if your’e in the area.

Burger was OK. Very bleu cheesy. The shoestring fries were annoying to eat and overly salty.

Their burger is better than Minetta’s. Nuff said.

Got their special $68 white truffle burger. Was good, but not worth it. Don’t spend $68 for white truffles when they’ve practically lose their scent on the plane over here.

The black label burger is what to get here. It’s good. I do want to try the 4 Charles one sometime.

Overrated. I don’t get why people think this is good. Rather go to Shake Shack or something else.
