Had no idea about this place until my cousin mentioned it. His dad use to frequent it when he attended Marquette. He went back with my cousin after he graduated often. I don't even know why as they live quite far away. Well, my cousin took me here and I had some chili (medium with jalapenos and onions). Got the food literally instantly with a tap Sprecher and water. They have the chili all ready to go when you get there. It was quite delicious. Lots of oil and grease. But who doesn't love a good gut-buster, am I right? I have to start taking my family here too.

This place is a classic, the chilli was fantastic this time as it was last time 5 years ago (they make their chilli daily if not more often.

Awesome experience and close to Potowatomi! If you're looking for a quick, hearty meal to fill you up- this is the place. This chili is not soupy, definitely thick and flavorful. If you're lucky Brittany will be working. Shes personable and friendly with a drive to make sure her customers are happy. We will definitely be back!

Walked into this location at 9:50pm. It was clearly open. As I walked in with a friend, the man with a hat and glasses yelled out "WHERE WERE YOU GUYS 3 HOURS AGO?" I then asked "oh you are closing soon?" He said "YES IN 10 MINUTES!" We then felt so unwelcomed that we walked out. We are from a different state, and never been in one of these places. Trust me when I say we will NEVER give our business to this company!

Fantastic chili, at good prices. It has a cool diner vibe. I would definitely recommend, and I will definitely be back.

It was everything you would expect from a place open at 0100 on a Sunday morning lolol. Chili cheese dogs were middle of the road, nothing special. Service was adequate. We got our food before we were too annoyed and walked out.

Chili is super greasy. Chili dog buns bottom was soaked in grease and would fall about. The chili bowl was just as greasy, the bottom of the bowl was all grease. Forgot to take pictures was more concerned about finding a close bathroom.

I was really disappointed. The chili was greasy and definitely not a style I was expecting...and it just didn't taste good. I ordered a pick up and got there on time but the server never heard or saw my ticket and so it wasn't ready. Bummer

You cannot believe how good this chili is! Must do in Milwaukee!
