Chili anything. Don't come here if you don't like chili unless you're just humoring a loved one by tagging along. Double chili cheeseburger is awesome...but you can't go wrong w/a plain old chili boat

Order extra chili on burgers . If your kids don't like chili on there burgers , ask them to put on side. Instant chili fries !
