First time at R Social, which happened because the first choice was closed. What a pleasant surprise! This place was solid from top to bottom. When I see “beef brisket chili” as a separate menu item you know it is getting ordered regardless. Today it was my side with a Cuban sandwich. Interesting vessel which was a shallow crock. Not sure if it is to mask how much you get?? It seemed like there could have been more.
Excellent smoky meat flavor from the brisket, sauce was a top notch tomato-based version, not too many vegetables or beans…so very very good. The menu said peppers were in there and usually they overpower the flavor but I really couldn’t taste it. This is one that is knocking on the top 5. If it was a top ten…yes.

Overall Flavor – 8.9/10

Spice Level – 8/10

Heat Level – 7/10

IT Factor – 8/10

Value – 9/10 ($3.50 as my side)

Definitely try it!

Is this my 3rd rating of Pepper’s? I like the fact that it has been a little different each time, meaning they make it themselves. Do they tweak the recipe or not consistently measure ingredients? I noticed first that there was a little more noticeable onion, which was good. This is just a good overall solid chili. I paired it with the buffalo chicken sandwich this time. The only thing I’d change is getting the cheese on the side as it was a bit too much and when it tried to break through the cheese it spilled the chili over the side. I do like it melted though. Bottom line…you can’t go wrong with the chili, as a side or the bowl.
curious to see if it has changed the next time.

Overall taste – 7.8/10

Spice level – 6/10

Heat level – 4.4/10

IT Factor – 4/10

Value – 6/10 – didn’t the price as the side but the big bowl is only $6.95
