Followed Google directions. No mention on the site that it wasn't open. Very disappointed.

Hi all, I started eating chili John's chili from a young age, maybe 5, or 6, it's always been my favorite chili, other than moms. I went to the new location on packerland , it's a nice place and the staff was great, I ordered superbowl and I took some home, good experience for me. I'd recommend it for the chili, I don't know about the other choices. I'm sure everyone has their own taste, but I love it, pricey, but to me it's worth it

RUN FAR AWAY and RUN VERY VERY FAST! SAVE YOUR $$$$$$$ Over priced less than par chili (my husband makes better chili) and they rip you off....ordered two bowls for residents at an assisted living complex and only one bowl in the bag - for $20.72. Tried calling them and no asnwer and they are open...called every minute for an hour and no answer. Also they charge you a $1.75 carryout fee if not eating there - WTH! They should be happy someone is buying their overpriced gosh awful small bowl of dirt, I mean chili ! my kids thought it looked like a bowl of dirt (LOL) - but the top of it did look like dirt (should have taken a pix) Here is what we received - a small bowl (maybe one cup) of spaghetti noodles with a litte "sauce", a sprinkle of maybe 15 beans (and that is pushing it) and a 1/4" (at the most) of some type of black - yes I said black - "meat" on it. Kids said the top looked like dirt and under the dirt were worms and a few pebbles. Tried a tiny taste of the black substance and was enough to make you puke..... Save yourself some moey and go get Kwik Trip chili - better tasting and much less expensive!

I have loved Chili Johns my entire life. It's been a family treat for decades. I even buy it from the grocery occasionally, but direct from the restaurant is always best. Was best.I don't know why the Chili John's recipe changed, or when, but the grainy, artificially beef flavored slop I just got via delivery from the Ashwaubenon store was NOT original Chili Johns. I don't know if the reasoning was to try to reduce fat and calories or just saving money, but I don't eat Chili John's because I want to eat healthy. It's an occasional decadent treat. I am hoping my experience was not typical. I hope I just got a bad batch somehow. I hope the traditional recipe has not been changed to improve the profit margin or to cater to "healthy" eaters. I will give it one more chance, maybe from another location, and update my review here, but my own recipe, based on the real thing, is better than whatever I received today and honestly mine is nowhere near as good as the original either. The fake beef flavor is absolutely nauseating, and it lingers.
