I know I had done a post from here before but it was ages ago. Not much has changed with the chili. It is just a good, solid, working man’s cup of chili. Nothing is going to jump out at you, good or bad. Not sure if the green onion is the right topper as they are potent. Maybe too much cheese too. How about getting a little melt on it? Or just put it all on the side? Only other advice is to just amp up the spices and put some more meat in it.

Overall flavor – 6/10

Spice level – 3/10

Heat level – 2/10

IT Factor – 2/10

Value – 9/10 – believe it was 4.95 for a nice cup

I actually ended up here by mistake but was pleasantly surprised. Place was busy and lucky to get a little table. Note the Americana burger is super good.

So why am I not an fan of corn in my chili? Not sure if it the little sweetness you get or the color…either way, just doesn’t work for me.

This came out piping hot. Cheese was baked on to the rim so when you poke the spoon in the chili pours over the side…which sucks.

I noticed right away this had a little kick to it. Was described as ”Bison” chili….not sure if i could tell the difference as there weren’t too many big hunks of meat. Overall this was pretty solid I have to say and not a bad deal for $5.

Overall Flavor – 6.6/10

Spice level – 5/10

Heat level – 6/10

IT Factor – 5/10 – homemade tortilla chips

Value – 7/10 – hard to get a good cup for $5 these days
