Au Cheval
Overview
Au Cheval opened in 2012 and quickly rose to fame when food critics declared its burger one of the best in America. This upscale diner concept by restaurateur Brendan Sodikoff combines classic American comfort food with French techniques. The restaurant doesn't take reservations, resulting in notorious wait times often exceeding three hours, especially during peak dining hours. The dimly lit, vintage-inspired space has become a culinary pilgrimage site for burger enthusiasts nationwide.
