There's nothing like a classic diner and drive-in to experience that old-fashioned American pastime: eating good food with good people. It's even better when delicious classics like hamburgers, chili, and hot dogs are on the menu. George The Chili King Drive-In has been serving great food in Des Moines, IA since 1952. We first opened as a diner and drive-in with carhop service, and that's how we've remained all these years. Now, 61 years late... read more

dirty and disgusting pop was flat and strange taste I watched cook prepare our food with out washing his hands sweating all over our food and not wearing gloves I had to repeat order twice like he couldn't comprehend cheese sticks and cheeseburger and he forgot chili fries even though it was written. after leaving terriable stomache aches for us both. will not go back!!

This place ruled. It’s clearly on the dirtier end, so if those reviews bugged you, it’s probably not your spot. But the chili is great and the tenderloin is out of control good. If you want to eat a truly great sandwich and don’t mind a less than sterile environment you should go. Keep in mind, ur eating a deep fried pork sandwich, so It doesn’t need to replicate a surgical suite. I think the choice is super clear, I will be back and back soon.
