Los Angeles is a chili town. It seems weird but it's true. Chili John's is a true throwback. But it's not a fake 50s diner that some interior designer slapped together. It's the real deal: a tiny diner about 70 years old with maybe 30 counter stools and no tables. It's like stepping back in time...but for real. So, yes, they've got a bunch of different hot dogs and burgers for sale and the burgers are outrageously good. But chili is in the name so it better be good. In fact, it better be great. And it is. Get yourself a giant bowl of chili with cheese, onions, sour cream and crackers. They've got spicy chili, if you want it, and it's not nuclear hot but it'll put some serious sweat on your brow. If your stomach can hack it, get yourself some chili cheese fries. They are very generous with the chili. Or get your hot dog or burger with chili. Of course, you need to finish it all off with a slice of lemon pie which they gently push here. Why are you getting pie? Because when you walked in, you stepped back in time so, yes, for sure, you'll have that big bowl of chili followed by some very good and not too sweet, lemon pie. No one heard of cholesterol in 1946. Friendly, fast service. They are popular and can get very busy. Remember, they are very small. Plenty of free street parking all around. read more

You gotta love a greasy spoon! This small but charming eatery is a must if you love old school chili. We opted for build your own bowl. 12oz or 16oz. Pick your base.. Your protein.. and your toppings. I got beans, beef, cheese and onions. My friend got beef, onions, peppers, cheese. Mmmmmm. Medium heat. The grease is real! And we loved every bite of it. Not a fan of the upcharge for the small portions of cheese and sour cream, but you must have one or the other! So plan on the small charge to make it right. Bottle sodas only. Parking in rear and streets. Large"U" shaped bar only for sitting indoors. Takeout available. This is a no nonsense place. Nothing fancy. Just the basics. But certainly worth a visit. read more

Chili John's is pure gold. When people think of classic Americana eateries (often imitated badly by chains and the like) they think of a place like this. Managing to be simple (that's not derogatory - and please don't ever change!) and yet still having everything you could need in a Chili spot, this is somewhere I absolutely love to take people to eat whether it's a casual lunch meeting (like my most recent visit) or to wow a visitor, Chili John's never fails. It's an institution. However you like it, they probably do it - with a choice of beef (spicy or mild), chicken, or vegetarian. The taste is superb and the little shiny oil pool caressing the chili is *chef's kiss*. Authentic through and through. The staff are always great and the service is relaxed and friendly but efficient - never slow and never rushed. You are made to feel welcome. I have never had the pie before but on my most recent visit I was persuaded to try a slice of the Pineapple as the server had made it herself - apparently the first time she'd been given the chance. She nailed it. I love Chili John's and after driving by it many times over the years, I'm so glad it's now on my list of LA favorites. Friends at the studios swear by it - some grew up in the area and have been eating there since they were in school. Burbank's oldest continuously operating restaurant calls itself "iconic" and it genuinely is. Also, it's worth saying that even though this place looks "rough around the edges," "well loved" or "lived in," Chili John's is CLEAN! If the staff aren't serving, they're cleaning something. Everyone there takes great pride in what they are doing. Give me half a reason to and I'll gladly take a 30-45 minute drive from my neighborhood for a bowl of their chili any day of the week. read more

Def a must try! Their chili hot dogs is a delicious treat. While you're there get chili too! Small bowl of it goes a long way!

Is this the home of the oyster cracker? Maybe so. I love the place. You're instantly transported back to the 1940's. It's a streamlined modern diner for goodness sake! It does a huge take away business with the, um, business that's nearby. I bet they makes tons of money that way. The chili's great. So's sitting on those ridiculous stools at that fabulous original ( as is EVERTYTHING in the place ) counter. This is REQUIRED going to for anyone interested in LA history. read more

The facade is charming if you like vintage hamburger/hot dog joints. I have passed Chili John's on Burbank Blvd. more times than I can count and always said to myself, One day, I'm going to try it. I finally did. I enjoyed the tunes playing, but they were loud (a notch or two) for the square footage. It was hot inside. No a/c. Loved the horseshoe shaped counter. Customer service wasn't overly friendly, but the woman who gave me my to-go order and checked me out was pleasant enough. The chili cheese fries were super greasy. The amount of grease in the container was unsettling, but whatever, it was an order of chili cheese fries, not a salad. The cheese was obliterated during the melting process on the fries. That was disappointing. The chili was a dry style chili. Not wet at all. The ground beef had a lot of chili powder on it. It was spicy, but I like spicy, so it wasn't an issue. These wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea but I didn't dislike them. The classic American burger was good. Cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, mustard and onions. I asked for the ketchup to be left off. I wish the burger had had pickles on it. Personal preference though. The burger patty was cooked fine. The bun was fresh and held up to the size of the patty and the toppings. The lemon icebox pie was my favorite over the pineapple cream pie. I wish the lemon icebox pie had had a slightly, thicker layer of lemon. The pineapple cream pie was more grainy. The whipped cream was separated possibly from pineapple juice. The pineapple layer was mainly a can of crushed pineapple. Both vintage desserts had graham cracker crusts. They have crushed iced for sodas. I got 2 bottles of root beer out of the cooler and asked for ice cups. I was excited when I saw they had crushed ice. I think it is in keeping with this old-fashioned chili diner. Chili John's is definitely staying in their lane and being true to themselves. I will order from them again and try one of their hot dogs and onion rings. read more

Chili John's - Chili Fries - American Near Me - Burbank, California

Chili John's is like Johnny's Pastrami, Tito's, Phillippe's, Tommy's and Cantors Deli - places you should go if for no other reason than you should say you've been. We read online that they were in danger of closing to lack of business so we thought we'd make a run up there and give them some support. We arrived at 12noon on Tuesday and they were packed. Standing room only. We waited about 5 minutes and one seat opened at the counter and the woman in front of us sat down saying that she'd be quick to place a To-Go order. 6 minutes later two seats opened at the end of the counter so we sat down. 5 minutes later we'd not been addressed or even given a menu and we noticed the lady who was there before us was just given a menu. They were slammed and were, as the term goes "in the weeds." When they got to us we ordered two bowls of Chili with Sour Cream, Cheese and onions. They put our order into their portable machines and then left. Long story short, 11 minutes later the waiter came back, extracted our orders from the hot tureens that are literally right there in the center isle and served us. The chili was OK - but it was warm, not not. Right out of the tureen and just warm. We were almost done when they came from the kitchen with the cheese, sour cream and onions in little cups. I will not say that the people in charge don't know how to run a restaurant, because that would be unfair. HOWEVER it could not be more clear that the three people working the front do not know how to work a lunch counter. You take a soup order, you turn around and serve it right then When you are only open from 11-3 you have 75 cups each of onions, cheese and sour cream prepped and in the cooler before you open. You use the nozzle brush to clean the beer tap before opening, too. And you NEVER walk from the counter back to the kitchen without taking something with you. A dirty something an empty of something ... you never make an empty trip. In their defense, if they have been serving 8 people an hour since Covid they may have lost experienced staff and were trying to rebuild, but it just didn't look like the people running understood the proper work flow. We'll try one more time in a month. And when we left - the lady before us was still waiting for her order. read more

I have been considering this place for years. But as a non red meat eater I wasn't sure that they would have a chili for me. Today a friend posted a picture of a hot dog that looked great and we were close by so we decided to stop by. Well when I walked in and looked at the place...I instantly changed my mind about ordering anything. First of all none of the staff had masks on. Meh. I'm not worried about getting Covid from food. But it was weird that they require guests to be masked, and I'm pretty sure they're still required indoors in LA County right? Beyond that, the place just looks pretty old and rundown. I can imagine that has a charm for some people but it turned me off. My husband is a stay the course kind of guy. So I still got his regular chili over rice. The portion was pretty small for the price. It's 12 oz of chili but they don't fill the container and half of it is rice. But it costs $10 for that. When we opened the package, it looked pretty unappealing. My husband said it tasted good enough. Not necessarily good enough to go back. But he liked it enough. read more

We went here because we were always curious about this place driving by and would see Chili John's as a suggested place to eat in Burbank. Food reviewers Anthony Bourdain and Guy Fieri has stopped by and they were fans supposedly. First impression was: "Wow. This place needs Air Conditioning. There seemed to be no windows. We came on a HOT day and soon as you walk in, the place was really stuffy. There was loud rock music which was cool but we were almost about to leave because the temperature in there was way too hot and the music also made us irritated. The place did look a bit run down which is the atmosphere but the Diner chairs were ripped at the cushions, most of them were. And I guess there were other workers because you hear chatter behind the flapping doors to enter the back kitchen which we can't see who is there or how they are preparing the foods by the way. We were helped out and the lady assisting me offered a sample of their quinoa vegetarian chili option and I appreciated that. It was okay but thought to better opt for chili as it seems they are famous for their chili right? We decided to both order Chili Cheese Fries because we like Chili Fries. Be aware that we like Spicy food and the "Medium spice " was definitely not Medium in our opinion. It was also really big and greasy. We regretted ordering and we only ate some forkfuls and just left it alone. If you are a BIG chili fan and are used to eating BIG HEAVY GREASY PORTIONS then you may have no issues with this place. For us, it's a pass. We like eating but definitely not that much. read more

Chili John's - Chili Fries- Medium spice - American Near Me - Burbank, California

I've wanted to come here for a long time. I love going to the restaurants around LA (Burbank in this case) that have been around a long time. This place is dripping with nostalgia even though I haven't been. I've seen it featured in posts, lists, and food shows. So this past weekend, I just made it a point to drive out and finally try it. The parking lot in the back is tiny but you could easily find nearby street parking. For reference, I came here on a Saturday a little around 6pm. When you walk in , it feels like an old timey place in a very good way. I just walked over and sat down at a u-shaped counter and grabbed a menu. A very friendly woman came by to take my order. I ordered the regular sized (12 oz bowl) original beef chili and got the spaghetti and beans as my base in a frivolous attempt to cut back on some carbs, haha. But I think I've grown to like the bean more as of late. Anyhow, I also ordered onions and cheese for toppings. I told the young lady I was going to order the lemon pie but prob save on bringing it out til a bit later. The chili was tasty and was not spicy although there were things available if you wanted to kick it up a bit. The lemon pies was amazing. Almost like a fluffier key lime pie. Between the bowl and the pie I was pretty filled up and including tax/ tip, this meal was really reasonable. A huge plus in my book! Would love to come back and try the chili fries or a chili dog but definitely left satisfied with the meal and that I got to finally check that box of having come here. read more

Food was amazing and fresh!! Best hot dog/chili dog I've EVER had!! The service was warm and welcoming and the ambiance was straight out of the 1900's. This is a MUST if you're in the area! They also have shakes malts and pie. Cant wait to come back!!! read more

It has been nearly 10 years since I have been here, but if you haven't been you should go, if nothing more than for the fact that it is a 79 year old institution in Burbank. The server was fantastic, the atmosphere still retro and the chili still good. A 12 oz bowl is $10.95 and comes with multiple protein options--original beef (spicy), mild beef, chicken, turkey and veggie. I was expecting hamburger beef chili which this is not (the beef is shredded). It is thick also (made with beef tallow) and served in a ceramic bowl. While not the absolute favorite chili I have had in my life (I prefer the hamburger beef texture and a little less thick/dense), it was still very good. I also love that they offer other old school bottled drinks like Grape Crush and 7-Up, Fanta and Coke in a bottle. The only thing I would tweak about the place, that would not significantly affect the retro diner atmosphere is to repaint the interior walls. The age is beginning to show to the point that it doesn't feel as clean as perhaps it should in a post-pandemic world. Again, if you like chili, you should run, not walk to Chili John's! read more

Chili breakfast burrito woohoo! Not that this is chili is only good for that but woah what a lifesaver. This chili spot is the greatest! I'm so thankful that it exists and that the taste is so good- it's that premium of a flavor and quality that you're looking for from Tommy's chili burgers and it's so good stand alone or with hot dogs and spaghetti! read more

Was in my original home, the valley, so thought I'd try Chili Johns, given historical importance. Was there at 4:30 pm (opens at 4). It was a 100 deg day. The front doors were wide open, mo on in the place. I asked if they were open, and a woman poked her head out from the back, said yeah, and disappeared back there. I sat for about 3 mins inside where I'm sure it was in the 90's inside, and left. Can't eat chili in a nonairconditioned place zero stars...the reviews lowest it takes is 1 star. read more

I've been there many times and if you want true chili this is the place to be. Yes, the chili may seem greasy but that's how it's always been made. Anything with made with beef is going to be a little greasy, but it's flavorful. The lemon icebox pie is absolutely delicious. If you want old school feel with a diner feel, this is the place to be read more

I didn't want to do this, but Yelp kept giving me notifications that won't go away. (I'm sure you can understand since you're on your phones every time every time a customer comes in.) Here's my review: I came in expecting a heaping cafeteria plate full of spaghetti (with optional beans) spread with a hearty yet gently spiced suet-drenched chili that covers everything.. generously topped with fresh shredded cheese, chopped onions, and plenty of oyster crackers to temper the grease. Just like they did it in the good old days, right? Riiight? Nope. Fuck you. You're getting a standard 12oz cardboard yogurt container with a plastic lid. (We are being environmentally conscious as you know) Oh, did you want cheese or sour cream? That's available in 2oz plastic cups for only $1.25 extra per serving! Ok, here's that simple bowl of chili you were looking for, that will be $13.50. It's failing on the food, it's failing on the nostalgia, it's failing on the service and it's failing on the atmosphere. You know this place was founded in the depression era, right? It's supposed to be a greasy spoon where anyone could get a hearty meal for a reasonable price. I can't knock the chili though, it's still delicious. I can only hope the management gets back to the business' roots on everything else. Highly doubtful, but good luck. read more

Im so sorry but this used to be my favorite chili....back in around 1995 to about 2007. The recipe no matter what anybody representing this restaurant is saying....has changed. I don't know if it's to save costs or what. It's way too oily or greasy. It's now inedible. I came home using the toilet twice already. The so called lemon pie is great except for one thing.... the layer of lemon in about 1/4 of an inch, while whipped cream is 4 inches on top of that. I guess the lemons are real expensive? I don't get it. All the seats have holes and are ripped in the seats, and the only improvement seems to be a new modification on the owners truck. Not a fucking dime seems to be improvement of the restaurant. But this has been a long inexorable decline since that original family ran things. To their credit, they do finally sell beer. Last note: they love to give away bottled drinks to vendors, which takes what little money away that this hell hole makes in an hour. It's just ridiculous! read more

I haven't had chili in so long and boy was I satisfied. The chili is really good, no matter if you chose beef, turducky, or impossible meat. There are also chicken and vegan chili options. The John the Ripper is my favorite , the jalapeños give it the perfect kick. The chicken tender sandwich is cool. Customer service and hospitality 10/10. read more

Ok not sure why chili and hot dog were not hot sent back they were nice enough to replace but still not hot seems like the cook doesn't get people like Hot food. I suppose it is just me. Takes an extra 5 minutes? To make hot Steve was cool good convo but shooting flies where I was eating with a salt gun made me wonder where particles were landing. Last time I was here was in the 90s. Looks the same. I suppose that's good. In my opinion they have to charge a lot to stay around and quality is good but kind of thrown together. read more

Awkwardly we're the only ones in here. You could hear a pin drop on a Monday at 445pm. I was not exactly impressed and see why it was empty.

Lemon pie tasted like cool whip and very little lemon filling, wouldn't recommend going out of your way for. read more

If you're in a rush do not come here. Didn't get my order taken for at least 10 mins. She didn't bring me my water until after my food, which I waited 30 mins. I ordered a chicken sandwich and chili fries. Chicken sandwich was okay, but then chili fries, I was certain I'd die afterwards so I stopped eating them. There is a "now hiring" sign outside so I understand the lack of service but at this point the cook needs to step in and help out the waitress. There was no team work what so ever I could have left without paying and she wouldn't have noticed I was gone. They seriously need help here. I came in on a Tuesday afternoon can't even imagine the service on a busy time. The chili was mediocre, I honestly can make great chili. This chili tasted out of a can. read more

We also split a blueberry milkshake- wonderful way to end the meal. We will coming back soon! read more

I have been curious about this place for a long time. It seems to have been here forever and I have passed it a million times. Every time I drove by, I would think to myself "next time". Yesterday, a friend of mine posted it on his Instagram and it looked great so I figured why not. We entered the wrong door to start with. The bar had a really retro vibe, but no A/C. Then we went into the Taproom (correct door) which is very bare bones. No frills, spartan, but I am not too into decor. There are mixed reviews from both my wife and I. I have to say that we were both confused because we were told that they didn't have the ingredients for the Broadway or John the Ripper street dog. There was never clarification on what ingredients they didn't have or why my wife couldn't substitute a bacon wrapped dog, moving on. My wife ended up ordering "The Weeny", which is a plain hot dog with ketchup and mustard. She got it without mustard. But she really wanted a bacon-wrapped dog and they would not allow her to substitute the dog. She also ordered the Chili Cheese Fries with beef chili (not spicy). She felt there was not enough cheese on her fries, and she felt like the chili was a bit too dry for her taste. As for me, I had the build-your-own bowl with spicy beef chili, beans, spaghetti, sour cream and cheese. I also went with an order of spicy beef chili and cheese fries. I really enjoyed the heat from both of my dishes. It was good to be able to order something spicy and actually have it be spicy. I will be back to try the Ultimate Chili dog or John the Ripper. Next time, I might just add a little extra cheese and sour cream. read more

I drove by with the family on a Friday night and the place look empty as we looked in the window. I told my kids this is a Burbank staple and we should support small business and try it. I have been here many years ago and it was really good. Upon walking in there was no staff at all or customers. After a few minutes we heard a dog bark near the kitchen area, a guy walks out and his vibe was not welcoming at all. He was a "rocker" type of guy and he did not say hi or how can I help you. He could have asked us if we had any questions on the menu. The guy looked annoyed that we were there I immediately lost my appetite based on his vibe. With nobody else in the restaurant, it felt very uncomfortable. I wanted to walk out, but my wife really wanted to order something so we got it to go. The chili was not bad but the level of unwelcoming behavior made me have a bad taste in my mouth. My daughters were not impressed with his vibe. He should have been happy that he had 4 customers. Maybe the guy (maybe he was the owner) was having a bad day and wasn't in the mood to deal with people and I can forgive him for that. The reality is this was a Friday night. This place should have been packed! This is a Burbank staple. Are they Marketing this place? Maybe run a special where kids can get a free bowl of chili and get people into the place. Or maybe the staff is not great a customer service and thats why its empty on a Friday night @ 6PM. Bottom line, connect with your customers and they will always come back. read more

Oh, hell, yes. That's what I'm talking about. I was jonesing for some chili and this place delivered. I got the original beef, spicy, and the heat level was just right. Add to that the peppers you just take from a jar, top it with onions, and you've got the perfect chili fix. I might add beans next time for texture, but the flavor was excellent. read more

This place is really a jewel. I sit down, and Tom Waits starts playing on the sound system. There's a ragged old LAPD vehicle painted gray that some Batman fan has adorned with Batman logos and a Wayne Enterprises license plate frame like it's a poor man's Batmobile. The place became packed moments after I'd ordered. I'm not a chili fanatic, but this chili was something new to me, and I loved it. With cheese and onions, it was hard for me to eat and moan in pleasure at the same time without bothering people. The service was great, and I will definitely be driving the thirty odd miles to Burbank again to visit Chili John's. read more

I just love Chili John's. Best Chili, fun eating there. Historical. I've been going there since I was 12. I'm 76 now.

Walking into Chili John's, the first thing you'll notice is how smoky it is. There's no air ventilation, no AC, and the whole place feels like a sauna with smoke hanging in the air. I'd read the bad reviews beforehand, and I'm here to confirm that they were absolutely right. I ordered the spaghetti chili, hoping for that classic old-school flavor, but what I got was basically a bowl of oil. The chili had almost no taste. Flavorless and greasy meal. It was so bad it triggered my heartburn. The one positive is that the place has a cool, old-school vibe. If you're into vintage-looking spots in Los Angeles, you might enjoy the atmosphere, but don't come here expecting good food. The service was good (along with the old glass bottled drinks) but even great service can't make up for a meal that was, honestly, not good. read more

I had been wanting to try this place FOREVER, but it always looked closed- TRUST ME THOUGH, it is not closed, IT'S OPEN! There's a small parking lot in the back, but there's always street parking around too. It was a lot bigger than I thought it would be and had super cute diner vibes. You can pick your chili (mild, hot, etc). If you know me, I'm a spice wimp, so I chose the mild chili. I ordered chicken strips and chili fries. Service was super friendly. The fries were WAY bigger than I thought they'd be (but I'm not complaining). Next time though, I know to get just the fries. The chili isn't sloppy chili, not like Tommy's chili, you know, the greasy, "Swear-off-Tommy's-for-a-year-type-of-chili". It was yummy, but more meaty, which I liked. I did not swear off Chili Johns like I usually do to Tommy's. I plan to go back with my hubs and kids soon. My hubs was jealous that I went there without him. *FUN FACT- there's actually a Chili Johns in Wisconsin too! My hubs passed it and took a pic! He wasn't able to go in at the time, but I told the waiter and he said, "So wait, your husband is at the Wisconsin Chili Johns and you're at the Burbank one???" Hey, funny how life works sometimes. ‍ Def try this old school chili joint out, I'll for sure be going back. read more

I really enjoyed my experience here. It totally gives off the nostalgia vibe of an old luncheonette....that was before my time and I only know as a history lover. The food is basic, gooey, and oh so good. There was only one counter person, and she was quite friendly. Ot may take awhile to order as she is quite sociable (not really a bad thing) , but to receive a chili bowl is instantaneous. I ordered the lunch special of chili spaghetti, chips, and a bottle of soda for $12. Overall, a really good deal. The bowl of chili spaghetti is deceptively filling. I walked away quite satisfied, and would highly recommend for a quick and hearty lunch. A strong 3. Almost a four rating, but I think $1.50 for sone shredded cheese to top your chili is a little excessive. Regardless, I think you will enjoy read more

Chili John's chili reminds me of the the chili dogs of my youth. They have a nice variety in the menu and it's not overdone. The quality of the chili stands on its own. I had a straightforward dog with mustard, chili, and onions. Then another! it was fantastic. In my opinion, the best in the west. Paired with a Coke in the bottle and chased with lemon pie, it can't be beat. The restaurant itself offers seating at the bar and a warm friendly atmosphere. Reminiscent of Diners from the past. I highly recommend swinging by, bellying up to the bar, and treating yourself to a great experience. read more
