I've learned to avoid Austin like the plague ever since it became monopolized by Leftist weenie people. Last time I was there, one of them, a homeless lady wielding a ball-pein hammer tethered to her wrist with what appeared to be whang leather, threatened to kill me to avenge the murder of her brother for which she believed me responsible. That occurred perhaps 15 minutes before encountering a boy of perhaps 27 years who screamed obscenities at me because I wouldn't give him $10 as he held his hand out while standing in front of a "Help Wanted, $15 an hour" sign. Albeit, I am willing to hazard a return, leaving behind the security of my Galveston County bayou country, smack in the middle of Texas Killing Fields, home, for a day trip. There's truly not much I won't do for a good bowl of Shiner Bock Chili.
Glad to know that something ‘real’ still exists in Austin. I used to eat at this place while in college back in the 1980’s. It’s stayed as the template for all other chili’s. Don’t change!!!
People who think cowboys ate big bowls of pure beef chili are not living in reality. Fresh meat back then was not only near impossible to take on cattle drives it was exspensive as hell and cowboys where poor. People love to say real texas chili like cowboys ate was chunks of beef in spiced gravy. Nope. It would of been made primarily of cheap easily portable beans. And dried spices. Maybe salted pork or fat back.
I dont know; chili john’s in burbank, california uses ground pork so soft and flavorful that even the pig approves.Super simple menu, horseshoe bartop diner, down the street from rick and morty studios.
When I was there they had this song playing in the background: 🎵I was fighting with my brother and my sister too til I got hit with my grandma's shoe, She threw across the room from the kitchen door Laid me out face down on the floor, Sometimes I do things without any thought, That was a fight I shouldn't have fought, When it comes to sense I ain't got a lick, Never hit your grandma with a great big stick! 🎵

Its OK but the chili doesn't really taste like chili and the enchiladas don't taste like enchiladas….weird.
Wife and I went there during our honeymoon to Texas. Very fun place.
So sick of hearing about the culture craze in austin
Chili with no beans is just meat sauce.
love this place

Do they serve mad dog margaritas
Chili contests in Texas do not allow beans.Look it up
NO BEANS IN CHILI! Remember the Alamo!
Texas chili has NO BEANS!!!!
I’ve been there, ordered the Texas Red. Hated it. It tasted like it came from a can of Wolf brand chili. I hate Wolf brand. Haven’t been back since.
Love this place.

The people in Texas seem great, why is the state government so stupid.
Is this the same place Lee Harvey Oswald's daughter used to work at? Rachel I think it was.

Why do I watch these things when I'm hungry and 2,000 miles away?
I’ve eaten there, and you will never eat better chili ANYWHERE EVER!
