"Marked outside by a long-standing neon sign since 1964, this cash-only, old-school counter-and-booth parlor is beloved for steady, well-balanced chili and classic neighborhood service (red-tumbler drinks and famously 'good ice'). It’s particularly famous for gravy cheese fries—crinkle-cut fries topped with peppery brown gravy, spiced meat and gooey cheese—often ordered with chili on top, and it remains a weekend takeout and counter-sit favorite among locals and nearby students." - ByDaniel Walton
