Which restaurant in DFW has the best Chili?

[CG2014]

Real Chili, made on site from scratch with fresh beef and onions and garlic add spices and tomatoes etc.


Not something that is out of an institutional size tin can and then reheated.


Also, no beans!!

Real Texas Chili doesn't have beans.


Also don't tell me Wendy's or Sonic or some Tex Mex national chain or some other burger place chili that they put on their burger.


Burger place chili not as good as the chili that is on the menu sold as a menu item. Quality is lesser for burger place chili.

Tolberts in Grapevine has a good bowl of Red.

Original owner of Tolbert wrote a book about chili in late 1960s and in 1967 he founded the World Chili Championship held annually in Terlingua, Texas

The book is still sold today on Amazon and even Walmart

Tolbert’s, but it’s a beating driving all the way out there. A shame they don’t have a branch in Dallas anymore.

Best I’ve found near Dallas is Allgood Cafe in Deep Elum. Almost as good as Tolbert’s. Five minute drive instead of 45 minutes. parking can be a bit tough during lunch. Don’t know about night time parking.

I have always loved Twin Peaks' venison chili until they took it off the menu. Now they have brisket chili that I have yet to try.

Fred's here in Fort Worth has some really good Texas red brisket chili.

Allgood might be closer for me. I will check them out too. Thanks Tush!

all good also has one of the best chicken fried chicken breasts that i've ever tasted!!!
one waiter told me that's because it's marinated overnight.

I have been looking for this!!! I will try Fred's. I did hear that Rudy's bbq has chili. I haven't confirmed.

[CG2014]

Rudy's BBQ hasn't been good in 15 years plus.


I avoid the place at all cost.

From mrsack's comment about Rudy's:

I've never seen chili on their menu. Only reason I go there is for their beans and sometimes green chile stew.

Don’t sleep on the chicken fried steak, either. Very good. Truthfully, most everything is at least acceptable and much of it is quite good.

Nice music posters all about, too.
