Chili Johns was trademarked in 1902, making it one of the oldest trademarks in the registry, even older than Coca Cola . It's also some of the best chili you'll eat in your life.

Tim Wilsbach

This is a must-experience kind of place. This is a diner with counter-only seating. They serve chili , hot dogs , tamales & pie . The end. Go.

Sarah Alikhan

delicious spicy beef and medium chicken chili ! cathy is super sweet and the service makes this place top notch! very reminiscent of the diner from the TV show 'twin peaks' !

Christina Zaydenberg

Soooo delicious. I had the chicken chili bowl with beans and I added cheese and onions ! No wonder they're the oldest restaurant in Burbank. I highly recommend eating here, enjoy!

Paul Coyne

I love this inexpensive and unique chili place. I recommend chili on a tamale or hot dog . Go spicy and Add the onions .

Farah Sosa

If u r coming for the first time, try a chilli bowl. Any. They are all awesome. They let you taste em if you ask. Really quick at serving.

Brandon Tomyoy

They have a selection of hot sauces upon request. Also, the chili can be ordered "dry" for those who want the chili less oily.

Opened 1946. Vintage diner with a U-shaped counter serving only chili items. The 2nd location of 1913 Wisconsin restaurant .

Brandon Hoang

You can’t get most old school, nostalgic than this. Vintage lunch counter, chipper staff . Chili lives up to the hype.

Pamela Brooks

Love how they give first-timers. A trial taste of each type of chili . I went for the chicken but they were all good.

Beef Chili over rice and cheese , onion , crackers on top. I love this place, feels just like your grandma's place.

Jared Proudfoot

Try having chili with rice . Mmmm... Fantastic! It's not on the menu , so you'll have to ask for it.

Sean Robison

Fantastic chili and spaghetti . The tamale , on the other hand, was just okay. A bit mushy.
