first time visiting Bar Down so I was looking forward to a burger and some chili and a few beers. I’ll say I was pleasantly surprised on the chili as it was pretty unique. I wanted to ask my waitress what was sprinkled on top but forgot. It was like a cojita cheese or something like that. As you can there were some raw jalapeños (with seeds) and boy did that ratchet up the heat. There were a few other veggies in the cup but now too much, onion, tomato, pepper. Good ratio of everything…meat, bean, veg. The flavor was really nice, after my mouth cooled down. If you are looking for a really good, not your “run of the mill” cup of chili (or bowl), head over to Bar Down. Safe to say, this is one of the tops I’ve had in the Fargo metro area.
Overall Flavor 8.2/10
Spice Level 7/10
Heat Level 9/10 (eat the jalapeños)
IT Factor 8/10
Value 6/10 …believe the cup was $4 and decent amount
