Customer Review Summary

The burger, especially with added bacon and egg, is the clear draw, described repeatedly as juicy, tender, and worth the hype, though several reviewers note it falls short of "best burger" expectations. Close behind, the bone marrow with onion confit, French dip, and mac and cheese earn strong praise, alongside standouts like the Korean wings and kale caesar salad. Desserts also stand out, with the mille-feuille and an off-menu Guinness gelato singled out. Service is frequently called attentive and warm, with staff surprising diners celebrating occasions with complimentary champagne or dessert. The recurring caveat is cost: multiple reviewers call the experience overpriced relative to what's delivered, citing surprise charges for eggs added to burgers and confusion over gelato pricing, plus one mention of a per-person reservation fee they felt was excessive. A few also note long kitchen wait times during busy periods. One anniversary dinner closed with the kitchen sending out complimentary champagne and dessert to mark the occasion.

    “Service here is top notch, The salads are both amazing and the burger that only Au chuval makes is really amazing. All the servers that we’ve had have been super friendly and helpful. The drinks are great too, just like the au chuval in Chicago”

    “The burger was absolutely delicious. I can’t say it was the best burger I’ve ever had, but it was definitely one of the best. The meat was cooked perfectly, the ingredients were fresh, and the flavors worked really well together. …”

    “Au Cheval NY absolutely deserves the hype 🍔🔥 Easily one of the Top 5 burgers in the world for me. Soo tasty, juicy, rich, and perfectly cooked. Every bite was insane. You can tell why people wait for it. The place was super busy but the service still stayed good and organized, which made the experience even better. Great energy inside too — lively, loud, and full of people enjoying amazing food. And the mac & cheese… wow. Creamy, flavorful, super tasty, and definitely not just a side dish. A must-visit spot if you love burgers.”
