Now this is a cool spot. It's old school so be prepared to not be impressed about the ambience. Fast and prompt service. Stopped for drinks and a 'taster' of chili. Very tender meat and authentic Texas chili. A bit pricey though. Two beers, two shots of tequila and a taster of chili was $50.
I was here with my children and a friend on ACL weekend. The food was fine and the drinks were very good/strong. Be aware that the food is a little spicy (even the mac and cheese), so if you have young children, they may not enjoy it. The margarita was freaking fantastic and our server was attentive and friendly.
Went here on a Monday night to get together with some old friends who were in town for a conference. Looks like a dive, but was actually amazing! Was able to sit immediately for 5 people. The special was steak and hubby said it was amazing. I know they're known for their chili, but I found it to be 'okay'. Our waitress was phenomenal, (I think her name was Janell). Will definitely be back!
I finally made it to Texas Chili Parlor and am a forever fan. You walk in and are greeted quickly and taken care of right away. Basically you decide the flavor or chili and in what form you want it. Enchiladas? They've got them. Frito Pie more your style? Done. Can't decide? Sampler platter it is. Just do yourself a favor and go. You will be so very happy you did. Happy eating!
A fun dive bar near the capital that has yummy chili to boot! We came in early evening and were able to get happy hour drinks. We like dive bars and felt right at home at a table. My boyfriend ordered a chili sampler and enjoyed the venison the best. I started with a cup of gumbo and then the frito pie. I was glad to have found this place in my research for our trip. I would come back if I came to town again. Our server was very nice too!
