I am a delivery driver with over 15,000 deliveries under my belt. I seriously can't believe I haven't discovered Queen Chilli before now. A good bowl of chilli is hard to find in this city. But something else actually caught my eye. I ordered a double smash burger..double beef, bacon, cheese, secret sauce. I truly believe this may be the absolute BEST burger I have ever eaten in my 52 years! And I originally came for chilli!! The owner, Liz, was friendly, talkative, and granted my request for just a taste of her chilli, so I would know what to expect on my next visit. It was amazing!! I will be back, and anyone reading this should give her a chance to prove her food is incredible!!! Support local businesses!! (No pics because I devoured the food too fast!)

My son chose this for his bday and I was delighted he did! I’m not a huge chili fan, but this was phenomenal! The girl working was very sweet. Looking forward to having this again!

We tried the burger, cornbread, and the 4-Way Cincinnati Chili. The spaghetti noodles with chili & cheese is a great combination. Everything is well seasoned, fresh, and delicious! We love the food and can't wait to go back! The owner is friendly and fun to chat with. Highly recommended!

Missing Skyline or Gold Star chili? This is your hook up! True, herbaceous, Cincinnati style chili! Awesome flavor, great service and the cookies...oh the cookies! Crispy on the bottom and gooey in the middle. Regardless of what entrée you get buy a cookie!

Love everything we have ever eaten from Queen Chili. From picking up a quart of chili at one of the many farmers markets she does to eating at her food trucks our whole family loves her food. Smash burgers, Frito pies, the Cincinnati 3 way…every single thing has been delicious!! Glad she is now offering a permanent spot with her own truck in the Milwaukie food carts! Ate there this week and bought a quart from the farmers market to take home YUM!

As a kid, I had Cincy Chili a lot thanks to a friend's Buckeye mom! I adored it and I thought it was hard to find, but thanks to Queen Chili, I never have to search again. QC's chili is epic, and not just the cincy kind, they offer so many different options and they are all mouthwatering. I highly recommend trying everything and those sweet potato fries are slap your mama AMAZING!! Go here now, but don't eat all my chili...save some for me!

My husband and I decided to stop and try the place. The chili taste burnt, and I've never tasted coleslaw like that in my life. It was like there was a cup of vinegar poured into it. Needless to say, it wasn't our cup of tea

I loved this food SO much. We went expecting to dine with Bayou Boys but they were unexpectedly closed. What a happy accident to find Queen Chili parked and ready to serve us with her beautiful smile! We connected on our love for oversized sunglasses and then I ordered the smoked chicken chili and a side of cornbread with honey. LORDY did she deliver! This chili was creamy and delicious with good heat, tender shredded chicken, smokey chickpeas, and all the fresh tomato and chili goodness topped with finely shredded cheddar and a boop of sour cream. MAD GOOD! And lemme tell ya 'bout this cornbread. Crusty, perfect on the outside and divinely tender and moist on the inside with plenty of honey and not a hint of grit. She even threw in a complimentary spicy pickle - a WHOLE one. I am a new member of the Queen Chili fan club!

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!

I bought a container of their original chili, and while I was very excited to try it out, the flavor tasted off to me. It had a very strong chili spice consistency with lots of very finely cut ground beef and, frankly not much else. It was kind of flat on the flavor palate.

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!

It has been roughly 45 minutes since I last wiped my brow after devouring, and thoroughly enjoying a mere sampling of what this local food truck has to offer. Then it happened, and I realized... If a flavorful, spice-infused burp is any indication of a quality, delicious meal... then Queen Chili is no exception. The generosity of both the portions, AND the amazing staff make this establishment a worthwhile venture on its own. Add to that a fantastic assortment of creative comfort foods that I'm certain will periodically, and undoubtedly lure you into a euphoric food coma time and time again. No beans about it, Queen Chili is highly recommended.
