The best Chili and Food and FUN – Yep, years ago before the new ownership, I ate here and was unimpressed with the XXX; I needed more peppers to spice it. Time passes, and for the last at least 8 years, the food is the most delicious food. There is a nice selection of American and Mexican food, and the servings are filling. BTW, the drinks are yum, too. Thank you, TCP
Best Chili in Austin! – Okay, we were directed to this place during Duck Tours - and OMG!!! Freaking YUM! This place ROCKS! After touring the city, you gotta stop on by kick up a seat and order some CHILI!!!! HELLZ YES!
Much better than last experience – I stopped going to the Chili Parlor years ago because the service had gotten so bad. I decided to give it another try recently and to my surprise, they have really straightened out the joint. I found out that they hired a new manager about a year or so ago who really helped turn this place back to the great little dive it is. I'm so thrilled that I get to put the Texas Chili Parlor back on my good side!
Great Food and Friendly Folks – Really good food, great prices and weekend specials. Friendly waitstaff and good service. We walked by and didnt think twice about it, and then the wonderful smell of the food touched my nose and I was drawn back... walked inside and had a great meal. Mmmmmm Mmmmmm Good
Worst service ever! – The last time I was here, I remember having a very good lunch. But today, I was severely disappointed. First of all, I walked across downtown Austin to get here, because I was in the mood for some decent chili. Second, it was almost a hundred degrees out. So, I was not in a fantastic mood. The two guys working there were total stoners, which is to be expected in Austin... and I'm ok with it, as long as they are capable of doing their jobs! I got there, sat down, and waited five minutes until the first s... read more
If you love Death Proof, you'll enjoy being in the Texas Chili parlor. – I'm a big fan of the movie Death Proof, yet I've never visited any of the Austin locations it was shot in. That all changed this weekend. I enjoyed my time at the Texas Chili parlor, and it was quite a rush being inside there. It was a really fun place. The food was great, the prices were cheap, the staff was very friendly and polite, and the atmosphere was awesome. I'm hoping to become a regular. I loved walking around there, then sitting at the bar in... read more
Too fun to pass up! – I love this place. The atmosphere is great with the old signs and all the wood. The service is good even if the staff is not there to be your best friend. I kinda like that in a restaurant. The food comes out hot and fast. The guacamole appetizer is actually the best in town, beating ever Mexican Food restaurant that I frequent. I'm vegetarian and I really like the veggie chili and the salads as well. Those cheese enchiladas with the chili on top aren't bad either, if you need a cheese fix. The ice tea ... read more
The only thing worse than the food was the service. – My husband and I just went for dinner and despite much anticipation, we were both VERY disappointed in our meal. The chili, which it is "famous" for was as appetizing as Alpo. A bowl of queso brought to the table so congealed that a fork would stand upright. After giving up, we waited endlessly while our intoxicated waitress was no where to be found. While the atmosphere is great, the food isn't - go for a beer and have dinner somewhere else.
Fun place. Great old building. MIGAS were real yummy! – After reading the funny review that made me laugh for 10 minutes or so about the bartender I just had to go and check this place out. They have a great menu. Migas on the weekend, and they are spicey and delicious. The guac. burger is really good too. The bloody mary wasn't fantastic and kinda spicey. Great bar and fun signs on the wall to read. I didn't try the chili but maybe next time. You gotta try this place if you like rustic type places with old floors and swingi... read more
