Best

loved this place!!!!

Worst

We tried the food here as a friend suggested it. The food itself (chili) was OK, some varieties even good, but the cost did not justify the product received. For about the same ...

Randy Rules 3/6/2003

Randy and chili my soul have taken this category to a whole new level. I hope we see more locations popping up all over Los Angeles. Pros: great food, expert preparation, unique flavors Cons: too small, too few locaitions more

not worth it! 2/25/2003

This place is out of business once all the suckers (including me) wonder why chili is worth $9 a bowl. Its not. The food was ok, the portion was nothihg to rave over and I won't go back. They got my nine bucks. I think the city search editors blew this one. There is really nothing special about this place. Pros: cute, variety Cons: no value more

Great but pricey ! 1/7/2003

Chili is the best I have ever had. However, you shouldn't have to pay $27 for two bowls of chili, two drinks and an order of fries. If price was lower, I would eat there every week. Pros: quality, service, consistency Cons: price, parking more

Obviously, you've never had these 11/27/2002

For years and years now DAGLAS Burgers on VanOwen St. in the heart of the San Fernando Valley has been the capital of the French Fry World. Their own (slight) seasoning and their way of deep frying makes every mouthful the taste treat for the quintessential fry eater. Add to this the size of each order and the cost and you've got a meal fit for any potato gormet. DON'T MISS THIS FANTASTIC TASTE TREAT!!!!! Pros: Fry Taste, Meal Size, Value more

and they love my dog too! 10/27/2002

If you never took chili seriously, here's a good place to break that habit. They have a chili for everyone- and toppings which include capers and chocolate. This combined with an enthusiastic staff, indoor and outdoor seating make it worth the trip over the hill and down into the valley. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE CHILI FRIES more

Not the best and soggy 10/21/2002

I have eaten there many times and the Chili is great but the fries are average and when smothered with Chili it's hard to tell they are fries and are really toooooooo small to qualify as french fries....nothing beats the fries in Holland, Belgium and France ! Pros: small, small restaurant feel, Chili is Great ! Cons: too small, location, sidewalk ambience suc more

This ain't your momma's chili! 9/16/2002

We stumbled upon Chili My Soul over a year ago and have made our way back at least twice a month since. I am now marking off my own menu to make sure I try every flavor. I may even brave out the DEMON!!!! The food kicks butt, the service is friendly and helpful, and it doesn't break the bank! Sure the cantina could use some decorating help, but who cares! And to whoever was complaining about parking--are you blind? There is a HUGE, FREE parking lot here! Pros: good food, friendly service, inexpensive Cons: NONE!, NONE!, NONE! more

chili in my bowl 8/27/2002

Chili might not sound like much, but that is probably because you are used to that stuff out of a can, or even worse, that stuff from the cafeteria. Chili My Soul takes chili seriously. If the name doesn't prove it, try their 30+ different blends, dozen toppings, and various other creative menu items. The sevice is friendly, allowing you to sample as many chilis as it takes before you find that perfect one. Their ""soul fries"" are delicious, especially when paired with their tangy dipping sauce. And I love their corn bread. They also recently expanded their seating area to make the place feel even more homey. Pros: great food, friendly service, good prices Cons: limited parking more

If you love chili and the infinite varieties it comes in then Chili My Soul is a must. Healthful dining to boot! Of course you can get it with fries, but there are many ways to have it without breaking your cholesterol budget! Pros: quick in and out Cons: difficult parking more

With over 30 delicious, diverse chilis to choose from, I don't see how anybody could not find a favorite. I've been dining at Chili My Soul for 3 years. I like every chili I've had there and have 7 favorites that I would have a hard time choosing a #1 from. more
