This is a great rest stop after walking the golf course trail. Chili mac is not normally something I would eat, but their chili mac (with Texas chili) is fantastic! The cornbread is the best we've had- crisped a bit in a griddle/skillet, with butter and honey. The beer selection is limited, but a great price!
We had the opportunity to have Liz cater our wedding under Owl Anchor. She is the queen of the culinary world. Her food was amazing and all our guests left rave reviews.Living out of state, but from Oregon, I wanted to use a local chef for wedding. Trail Distilling recommended Liz (where queen chili is). Without having tasted any of her food we made the decision to use her as caterer based on awesome communication and upfront details.With a few details left to tie up close to the wedding (because of weather related variables) Liz and her crew adapted and were more than I could have hoped for.Thank you Liz and crew for making our special day even more delicious :)Elisa & Scott
Ordered while having some drinks at Trail Distillery. All was comforting and yummy. I enjoyed the Cincinnati chili but wished I had ordered over fries or a hot dog. Will be back to do that soon!
Amazing food and authentic Cincinnati chili! My partner is originally from the Cincinnati area and we've lived in Portland for years, always looking for these dishes. So excited to have found them and we can't wait to try the whole menu! We also bought a pint of chili at the Milwaukie Farmers Market so we can enjoy it all week. The owners are so lovely too. Can't wait to come back!
Not only is Queen Chili extremely tasty, but they actually excel at Cincy style chili. I grew up around Cincy chili, and have a mother than made it every winter. Queen is better than my mom lol...and they use local ingredients. To conclude...one of my favorite things on the menu is the corn bread. I'm a bread freak, and have to get it everytime. If you don't have time to eat it there, or want more than you can eat, well no problem...this food cart typically has frozen chili to-go. See ya soon Queen.
The warmth and attentive ordering interaction was worth the visit alone. Parking may be limited but the flavor will more than distract from this minor inconvenience. Enjoy a simple menu and great food in an unlikely location.
We got a variety of items from the menu because we were so excited to see that we didn’t have to make a giant mess at home in order to get our Cincinnati Chili graving satisfied.The best of the rest was the chili Mac, the Mac itself was good and well prepared. The 3-way Cincinnati chili was more noodle than chili and the noodles were over cooked and stuck together. The chili burger had an over abundance of chili, the burger its self was okay, but the bun was burnt. Not crisp and toasted, but burnt. We got the cornbread instead of the dried and that also was burnt. The test proved that the bread had cornmeal in it, but overall it tasted like a mix.We were so disappointed about the overall experience, the chili had been puréed, was very smooth and a bit bland. We are hoping it was just an off day and are going to give it another try down the road.
One word...Outstanding!! Liz has created incredible dishes combining spices and just the right amount spicy heat. We had the Cincinnati 4 Way which was a whole new culinary experience and the Smash Burger. I have a feeling we will be driving back through Oregon City just to eat here again!
Super delicious chili! The owner is really friendly and creative with their menu options. I can’t wait to try more of the menu, but I’ll list and update what I’ve tried, below. This food makes my stomach happy.Texas style chili - thick, flavorful chili, with huge chunks of tender meat, that falls apart in the mouth. Primary meat based chili. Can add cheese/onion/sour cream. Med/mild heat. ??Hot bean chili - medium thick chili, with an amazing blend of flavors. Can add cheese/onion/sour cream. Hot heat. ???Cornbread - huge portion of REAL, crispy cornbread. It’s not too dry, but not too moist on the inside, and has a crunchy, buttery crust. Comes with honey.Coleslaw - sweet and tangy, with a subtle heat that isn’t overwhelming. Isn’t super mayo-y and heavy feeling.
