Pros: Affordable, open late, simple menu Cons: Busy, slow, very slow service, overly salted chili, simple menu A highly... forgettable experience, if not for how annoying and exhausting it is to get any sort of service. Read more
I tried them and first off, when you don't see people going in and out of the restaurant that's a red flag, then when you go... inside it looks like an old Cafe which isn't a big deal but you can tell it has no upgrades for years. Then I ordered 2 chilicheese dogs, the server had scooped up some chili and it looked scary, but I kept up my hopes that it would be good. Well firstbite into i, I tasted just salty meat, it wasn't a chili at all. Chili has seasoning and a chunky meaty texture, this chili didnot. Sorry I won't be back. The hotdog was good, the chili not so much. Read more
I have been going to Real Chili's on 16th and Well's Street for a long, long Time. Several Years. The food is really Good
Real Chili is real awesome! Been going here for a few years now. I take everyone there whenever we get close. The Chili is... amazing and such a good deal. The staff is always friendly and fun to chat with. Even when it's late at night and they areworking hard serving the late night rush. We love to eat at the counter. And always take extra to go so you have it for the nextday. Get the hot chili with all the fixings. You will not be sorry. Read more
Noodles taste terrible and are not worth buying. Hot dogs are moderate frozen food. Taco is the only highlight for this... restaurant - large and cheap. Read more
Food is great when they're open. Went by at Friday night and was told they now closed at 10p on Friday by one of the workers... leaving. Door still says 2am and no signs indicating anything different. Read more
I ate at Real Chili for the first time last week. This restaurant, running since 1931, is a Midwestern Gem. Housed in a... lovingly maintained old fashioned diner with a wrap around counter, Real Chili specializes in one dish - house recipe chili -and it's real. It is real hearty, real well priced, and real good. Real Chili has a thick, well flavoured meat based chili.(There is also a vegan chili on offer) There are three pots of it, with three levels of spiciness. You can get a bowl with yourchoice of toppings, put it on spaghetti, or do a chili dog, Dorito pie or chili nachos. I recommend topping anything you getwith their freshly grated WI cheddar. They have dessert, but I ate too much Chili to be able to fit any. I'm not sorry aboutthat. If you come in during manger Brian's shift, you are sure to be treated to true Midwestern hospitality. His pride in thebusiness shows with the care he puts into everything, from making the food to welcoming the diners. He's also a greatconversationalist, so if you enjoy a chat, say hi. :) Real Chili is open late, and is perfect for midnight cravings, but Irecommend coming in on a quite afternoon and taking time to enjoy the ambience. I came in last week to find some lunch after avery long day, and Real Chili was exactly the comfort I needed. Come and support this living piece of Milwaukee history! Read more
A true milwaukee staple, always worth the visit. Chili is a classic and service is always done with a smile and conversation if... you are so inclined. Been a fan of theirs for 35 plus years. Read more
