Been a while since I’ve are here so I couldn’t remember what the chili was like. This place likes to put out there smoked meats a little but it isn’t a BBQ place. For some reason I was expecting more of a smoky brisket type meat in here but I wasn’t at all disappointed with the ground beef…at least that’s what I thought it was. First off I would have asked for no Fritos….Maybe a tad more cheese and a little sour cream on the side. All in all this was pretty darn solid. It has a nice deep, rich flavor. It had a little hint of smoke but also a nice mix of pepper notes like ancho and paprika. It also had that nice tomato base I like. The size was very good for a cup and a decent value. I would definitely get again.

First time here after hearing good things. They did have a lot of Cajun things on the menu but I kind of went traditional other than some apps.

The hash browns were ok… nice and crispy with soft warm middle but really lacked seasoning and butter. Not saying they were done earlier and warming on the side but it was kinda like that. I’ll have to try this place again and see what it is like a second time.

This was a rare triple play having both red and green chili and hash browns. First off the red chili. Definitely home made with the rustic feel to it. Big chunks of meat and lots of big hunks of vegetable in here. It was a little “brothy” but had some unique qualities to it. Could have had some more tomato paste to thicken it up and some paprika but overall pretty solid.

Green chili was chock full of meat and some green chilis and jalapeños. It was pretty tangy with a lime type flavor. Like the red chili it was very brothy like a soup. I would give it a whirl again but ask for cheese to put on top.

This place must go through a thousand pounds of spuds for every breakfast based on the amount of hash browns that come with each meal. In my mind I was expecting bland, dry browns but on the contrary they were crisp, buttery and seasoned well. Not sure how this dude masters a couple square yards of browns on the flat top but he did it. Definitely get again!

Well I can say it looked pretty good….then I ate it. Honestly it had that “canned” chili consistency which was like a thick paste. There wasn’t a good sauce and a mix of meat and vegetables…it was a big glob of stuff. There wasn’t any discernible taste to speak of. It wasn’t all that bad but it wasn’t great either. I’d be hard pressed to try this again….
