Let me start off with the fact that the staff and even the chef were absolutely amazing! Their service and friendliness was so emensely kind and comforting. The staff was very attentive and helpful! As for the food….

Was my first time ordering from there and the last time, $16 for such tiny bowl half of it stuffed with bread anyways!? Also it was the driest chili I have ever had

This review is mostly for their wings, which are fantastic. They make Texas style wings, which I don’t know exactly what that means, but I think it involves a rub, and then the key to their deliciousness, getting finished on the grill I would come here just for the wings, and the good service, but having chili is just a bonus. I think they have 3 or 4 types of chili, including Cincinnati style, Texas, and vegetarian, and multiple ways to have it served; over spaghetti, over corn bread, over Fritos, etc. Be warned, they aren’t open at all on Mondays.

This place is rustic and dark. But that is the charm of an old time joint serving 4 styles of chili including a vegetarian version (spicey!!).

The service here is very nice. Overall the food was pretty mediocre. The fries and everything else that was fried tasted funny (maybe it’s the oil?). The “fried chicken” is actually just chicken tenders. And most of the stuff was relatively unflavored. This might be a better place to grab a beer instead of food.

Food never disappoints, don’t let the fact of it being in shopping center and dive bar feel persuade you from going in. Great chili, wings and burgers.

Gordon Ramsay and Kitchen Nightmares couldn’t save this place. My friend and I were visiting a friend at a nearby nursing home. This was the closet restaurant around. We got there around 4 or so. We were the only customers there. That’s should have been the first clue… the place was filthy and old. Our booth had food crumbs on the seats. We ordered sweet teas, the server brings them and leaves. I had to get up to ask for a straw.. They weren’t sweet.. then another server came up to take our orders.. I ordered a cheeseburger with fries and my friend ordered the chili burger with onion rings.. and we asked that server to please bring us some sugar for the teas.. he forgot.. we had to ask him again.. My burger was obviously a frozen, pre made patty.. tasted like rubber… the bun was ice cold and hard.. How do you not grill the bun of a burger?? The fries were few and far between but the ones that were served with the burger were squished and greasy.. My friends onion rings looked like they had been made ahead and nuked in a microwave.. they weren’t crispy at all. Her chili burger had shredded, cold, unmelted cheese just piled on top. Her burger’s bun was hard and cold as well.. back to the atmosphere… The owner must love white Christmas lights and pics of old Hollywood cowboys.. because they are everywhere. And covered in cobwebs..

I ate most of it before I remembered to take a picture. The exterior does nothing to help the place. The inside has fantastic atmosphere, staff is helpful and the building is clean. If you like Chilli and wings you have to stop.

Amazing, no frills, comfort food. It is physically impossible to leave this place not absolutely full to the gills with chili.
