Au Cheval is the New York outpost of Chicago's celebrated burger destination, best known for its single/double cheeseburgers, occupying a large warehouse-style space on Cortlandt Alley in Tribeca. It draws diners looking to replicate the Chicago original's reputation for a top-tier cheeseburger in a bigger, more industrial dining room.
Reviews and local press (Tribeca Citizen) describe dinner waits that can run long — reported as up to a few hours on busy nights — because most seating is reserved for walk-ins even though reservations are now accepted. Reviewers also note that even lunch service can get crowded given the space's popularity, so arriving early or on a weekday tends to be the safer bet for a shorter wait.
