Been here before and the food has been ok. They are typically understaffed but who isn’t these days in the restaurant industry. Ordered the chili as my side with the buffalo chicken wrap. First off the wrap was terrible. If I asked 10+ people to try it only 2 might be able to identify it as buffalo chicken.
The chili temp-wise was barely warm…which is terrible. Didn’t ask if I wanted cheese or anything. Taste is ok and has all the general qualities of chili but pretty average at best. I should have sent it back to the microwave for 30-45 seconds but who knows how long that would have taken.

To say I was disappointed might be an understatement. I’ve heard they have chili now and again so we caught them at the right time. And, the BBQ has usually been pretty solid in the past. Let’s see…the wings were good, and the queso was good…and that is about it.
The pulled pork was cold and fatty and the ribs were cold and dry.

The chili was basically a beef stew. There was zero smoke on the brisket and just huge chunks of pepper. They said it was “Texas style”, so no beans. All I could really taste was some cumin…no chili power or anything.
Pretty sure I will not get again.

First off, the Presidential Library is pretty awesome. There is the actual Air Force One inside you can walk through. One of the tour guides mentioned that the restaurant “Gippers” is good and that they have good chili…so I was sold.

At first I noticed there was corn in it, which I’m not a fan of. But, it was not noticeable, so that was good. Overall it was pretty solid. Chunky style with good sized meat and veg. The pepper chunks were a little big for me but not too noticeable either. Decent spice and moderate heat.
just a little more spices and this is a winner. Solid though so you won’t be disappointed in getting it. Cornbread was nice too.
