Chilli is like mom and dad's its good, but I like southwest style better. That be the reason for 4 stars. Also I like macaroni better then spaghetti noodles. The place is clean, and service is prompt.

This positive review is for the quality of Real Chili, but I want to make sure the credit goes to the young lady Santana and her younger sister, who had went above and beyond, to make our visit so hospitable. Felt like we were long time friends, swapping stories and sharing laughs. Overall the experience was hands down the best. I hope more people visit this establishment where the chili and the people are amazing. Cheers!

Real Chili is a staple of the Milwaukee dive scene. Pay at the counter, belly up at the counter or grab a table. Super friendly and chatty staff make this a local hotspot for post bar shenanigans, it's the perfect place to get some food before stumbling home! Feel free to stop in during the day as well, the atmosphere will be a little more chill-e. Real Chili is in the business of doing one thing and doing it extremely well. Photos on the walls of celebrities dining are a self-proclaimed resume and testament that it is easily the best chili hands down. They offer Chili at a variety of heat levels w/ various fixins- w/ or w/o beans, cheese, onions and sour cream. Mix and match to your hearts content. They also offer their chili on hot dogs to make for amazing chili cheese dogs. Although I've never actually had one, I'm sure they're great! Top it off with a tall boy of miller or pabst or some other craft brew and you'll quickly understand why this is a local favorite.

I mean if you’re hungry for food late at night, it’s fine. But in my opinion the chili is dry and the servings are just meh. They seasoned the food great, but it’s just too dry. They don’t have fries either, so don’t expect a full meal. The staff is really nice, but there’s definitely opportunity for growth in my opinion.

This is one of those places in that you have to give five stars even though the other stars don't add up. It's classic on Wells in Milwaukee for MSOE students, where I went to school. They got the basics chili noodles beans sour cream cheese onions. The Chili's greasy and good and you can get a chili dog as well. May want to ask for a fork for that one. Clean up after yourself nothing fancy. Seems like it's not as cheap as it used to be. Sit at the bar and make some friends.

A local favorite! We gave it a try after hearing the rave. Really cute place and love the vibe and location. Definitely a little pricey and not what we expected. $8+ for some noodles, beans, crackers and a little meat. It was extremely salty and could not finish it myself. I would have loved extra toppings but they were extra $$$. Overall, I see the nostalgia and think it’s a super cute place, but not sure I would go here again, or at least need to give some other items a a try.
