One of my favorite places to eat in the DC area but I usually reserve it for cold/wet days. It turns out it's great on hot days too.

Great chilli! They were busy when we got there and our party of 6 was seated within 10 minutes. Would defiantly go back.

They had great food. This is definitely a hole in the wall restaurant that has been opened for 37 years. The wait staff was nice and checked on us when they should. I had a burger which was fresh and tasted delicious. My wife had a chili dog which tasted great. They have fresh cut fries. Their prices were very reasonable. This is a place I'd come back to.

Our server had the worst attitude and took our plates before we were finished
