Mike's Chili & Gyros

Like the other comments have pointed out, the waitress here was extremely rude, really had that IDGAF attitude. Which was disappointing as the environment and food were quite great. Wouldn't recommend due to the service.

Solid chilli fries served up with little fanfare. Places like this are a dying breed in the area.

Mike's was started in 1922 still in business so we had to go check it out and let me tell you we had the chili dog and chili fries and they didn't disappoint and don't worry about leaving hungry we could not eat it all. Oh! The beers are ice cold! Service is great, friendly, and fast! Waitress took the time to explained the special details of the menu. WONDERFUL!!!!Check Mike's Chili Parlor! Highly recommend MUST TRY!

Chili was salty like really salty to where the salt was burning my throat. Also the service was rude I wasn’t 21 but wanted food to go and she was super rude like she didn’t want to help me and when I tried to order water she told me “stand over there” in a rude tone won’t be going back.. might go back in a month when I turn 21 just to see if her attitude improves

if you're coming to this place for some fine dining experience and "friendly" wait staff you should try somewhere else. this is the kind of place you slap down some cash, order a beer and the biggest bowl of chili they have. I promise you you won't leave hungry. solid chili, good vibes. Staff isn't overfriendly and won't pepper you checking in on how everything's tasting and all that - if there's a problem I'll flag someone down but when I come here I'm here for chili and beer and I don't need anyone else bothering me

Been living in Ballard for the past 7+ years and kicking ourselves for not coming here sooner. Finally made it a point to enjoy with friends and couldn’t rave more about this establishment and the experience had. Fourth generation Mike and his personable, attentive service paired with exceptional food preparation and delivery speaks volumes for exactly why we believe Mike’s Chili Tavern has been thriving for years, and here’s hopeful to many more!

The chili is great. Great customer service.

With it showing up in the name of the establishment, I guess I expected more out of the chili. It was good enough. Server was friendly. Place had that divey sports bar vibe. For that environment, I prefer Kate's Pub in Wallingford. At Kate's, I want to hang out and have a few. At Mike's, I was fine to just have my chili and go.

I just saw this place on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, and I'm starting to think they serve chili.

Great hole in the wall for chili. Please keep in mind that they are a cash only establishment.

Very good chili. The staff were very nice.

Really good chili in an old timey place

Iconic destination. Legendary chili

The owner Mike was extremely rude to us when we attempted to eat there one day with our young son. We are out of towners and from NC, so we didn’t know it was only a 21 and over place to eat. All he had to do was let us know in a nice way, but instead he yelled. My husband eventually went back and said the food was mediocre. I can tell you that we will not be back and I don’t recommend this place.

Great chili, awesome bread to go with it. friendly servers
