Texas-style chili at it’s best! As I’ve said before, I am a native Texan so I’m serious about chili and John’s is right up there. The place is unique in that its counter seating only. All of the pots of chili are right in the middle of the U- shaped counter. They have meat, chicken and vegetarian chili. You can order it in the degree of hotness that you would like: mild, ass-burning or if you want it medium they mix the two. If the hot one isn’t hot enough, they can provide you Dave’s insanity hot sauce to throw in your bowl. This place looks like it has never moved forward in time which gives it a cool, retro feel. You can have your chili served over pinto beans, spaghetti, tamale, on top of a hotdog or slathered between a hamburger bun for what they call a Sloppy John’s. You can ask for sour cream and cheese for a bit extra. They provide the onions, oyster cracker and peppers. Please call before you make the trip because they’ll close every so often for weeks at a time hanging a CLOSED GONE FISHING sign on the door.
