    Delicious food! I especially like the customizable chili - "chili you make". My favorite is the turkey chili with sweet potato tots for the base, cheddar cheese, sour cream, & diced avocado.

    We Really liked it. Service was good, had a great server. The food was delicious and very tasty. I had the chicken sandwich and my mom had the prime rib sandwich and we had fried pickles. Delicious.

    The chilis are great but the shrimp po'boy isn't something you would normally consider but definitely must. The appetizers are great too!

    Anna is very friendly and gave us a free desert for telling them how great the food and staff are. Kelsey was our waitress and she was cute as a button.

    The Chili U martini is fantastic. Like a light Cosmo that is not bitter, nor too sweet. Smooth and tasty.

    The Martinis are awesome. If it's nice out, sit up front when they have the doors open to the sidewalk.
