First the counter server was friendly and efficient. The problem was when she told me that they were closing and I asked if ivcould eat it at a table, she responded that I could and within maybe 3 to 5 minutes I was told to leave. I do not eat food in a car so it all went into the trash. I have never been kicked out of a restaurant before. I have visited for business literally over 1,000 restaurants of all sizes and have never been kicked out before. This is a very unique policy and one that the customer should understand, you will not be allowed to finish, just leave. It is good they have such a large trash can.

Easily the best chili ever. And you can have the area’s best chili with the level of heat and amount of beans you want.
One caveat - We carried out from The Chili Parlor this past Saturday. Our order never varies. Two pints, light beans, light oil, one pint medium, one pint medium touch of hot. When we got them home, one had a lot of beans and the other was just straight bean soup. As if we’d asked them to give us all beans, no meat. We’re not certain if this due to the recent change in ownership or a mixup. We’ll definitely be back. If we have to pay extra to get what we want, we’ll happily pay it. Too good to give up.

I got the chili cheeseburger and a tamale. It had an excellent chili taste! Good spot if you want food to fill you up that isn't out of this world expensive.

I try to come here every time I'm in town to get a bowl of the firebrand. Best there is. Will definitely be back
I said please can I have sushi and they said no they didn't sell sushi and even after I demand to talk to the manager they still say no but the chili I had instead was really good though but maybe they need to start selling sushi
