With most restaurants closing due to the coronavirus this might be my last meal out and about for a few weeks…so glad I got to Dave’s one last time. Great place in the skyway system that always delivers good food quickly.
Stop by when you are in the area!!
I purposely didn’t look at my old Famous D’s Review from a different location so I have an unbiased review. I got it as my side with my 2 meat combo and don’t think there was an up charge…which is nice. It was ok sized but for me could have been a hair bigger and the temp could have been a little hotter so the cheese was melty.
Nice chunks of meat which looked like a beef/brisket. Really good flavor and some good heat. It had a nice tomato note but also a solid chili flavor and hint of smoke. All in all a very solid cup from a chain restaurant and really any restaurant for that matter.
Overall taste – 8.1
Spice level – 6.3

IT Factor – 7.2

I think I might have done an Ike’s post in the past but it has been a while. My thimble of chili was like I remembered it, thick…big chunks of meat and a “heavy” flavor. When I say heavy maybe that is due to the thickness of the sauce. I like that the “sides” came on the side so you can mix in whatever cheeses, sour cream you like. I think the stand alone chili wasn’t as good as when I added the sour cream as it lightened it up a little. Ike’s is a little more of a high end lunch option but $7.50 for a small cup is a tad outside of the norm, but as a side instead of fries it was only $3.00. I would get again as a side but not as a meal.
Overall taste – 7 could be a little less heavy

Been meaning to get to this place for a while now and finally went this past Saturday around 1:30…and it was still packed and a 20 minute wait. Lots of people nursing that Bloody Mary and taking up space…
Did I come for the chili?? Of course I did…. I had the cup of “loaded brisket chili” along with my brisket grilled cheese.
Flavor was solid…meat was great…not too much cheese and sour cream to overshadow the main attractions. I really didn’t have much to criticize other than the sauce was a little thin/watery but it didn’t take anything away from the overall taste. It was a little smoky and had nice chunks of brisket, not too much for beans and veg so right up my alley.
Definitely will try again!!
Overall taste – 8.2
Spice level – 7.7
Heat level – 5.6
IT Factor – 7.9
Value – ($6 for cup) – 4.8 It is a good side but when I ordered my sandwich and said I’ll have the chili as my side there was no discount… I still got the fries I didn’t want and charged for the chili reg price.
