Local gem in Old Town Alexandria serving the best chili in the DC metro area! Traditional Cincinnati style chili-mac and Texas... chili (no beans) with some new twists. If there's a line, it's definitely worth the wait! Read more
8 years between visits. Food still good with moderate pricing. Service was very poor though. Perhaps they are understaffed.... Either way, Wed night and not crowded, from sitting down to paying it took 1 hr and 20 min. Read more
- food was really good, lots of flavor and everything was fresh. - their different Chili's were all good, but would have to say... the vegetarian & Cincinnati chili were the best. The Texas chili would be my 3rd favorite then theirTerlingua red which is spicybut honestly not really spicy at all. - first time here and they gave us cornbread and samples of all 4 chilli's. We liked allthe different chilli's and the cornbread was extremely good as well. - place was clean and organized. - service was quick andservers did a good job checking the right amount of times where it was not annoying or wondering where they went off too. -plenty of seating and they were not really busy when we had went there for lunch around 2pm - all their staff were extremelyfriendly and helpful. - prices not bad for the area and you get a decent amount of food for what you pay for. - parking in oldtown is always hit or miss depending on what's going on in the area but there is parking closed to the location. - niceatmosphere inside and had a welcoming feeling. - over a really nice first experience, I would recommend this location.

Was a warm afternoon walking around Alexandria. Just had a beer at the tables outside. Really wanted to try the chili and... cornbread, but was just to warm. Beer was cold and bartender was friendly. Left my mark. Will stop be again next timethrough. Read more

Been here visiting here since early 1990s. Food consistently tasty, esp the chili any way you like it! Glad to see they... survived Covid. I do miss hearing Patsy Cline occasionally on the jukebox! Read more
