Chili Johns was trademarked in 1902, making it one of the oldest trademarks in the registry, even older than Coca Cola. It's also some of the best chili you'll eat in your life.
Tim WilsbachApril 16, 2014This is a must-experience kind of place. This is a diner with counter-only seating. They serve chili, hot dogs, tamales & pie. The end. Go.- delicious spicy beef and medium chicken chili! cathy is super sweet and the service makes this place top notch! very reminiscent of the diner from the TV show 'twin peaks' !
Christina ZaydenbergAugust 23, 2013Soooo delicious. I had the chicken chili bowl with beans and I added cheese and onions! No wonder they're the oldest restaurant in Burbank. I highly recommend eating here, enjoy!
I love this inexpensive and unique chili place. I recommend chili on a tamale or hot dog. Go spicy and Add the onions.
Farah SosaMay 25, 2014If u r coming for the first time, try a chilli bowl. Any. They are all awesome. They let you taste em if you ask. Really quick at serving.
Brandon TomyoyJuly 28, 2015They have a selection of hot sauces upon request. Also, the chili can be ordered "dry" for those who want the chili less oily.
Offbeat L.A.January 28, 2016Opened 1946. Vintage diner with a U-shaped counter serving only chili items. The 2nd location of 1913 Wisconsin restaurant.
Love how they give first-timers. A trial taste of each type of chili. I went for the chicken but they were all good.
Brandon HoangJanuary 29, 2018You can’t get most old school, nostalgic than this. Vintage lunch counter, chipper staff. Chili lives up to the hype.
Rob MDecember 15, 2012Beef Chili over rice and cheese, onion, crackers on top. I love this place, feels just like your grandma's place.
Try having chili with rice. Mmmm... Fantastic! It's not on the menu, so you'll have to ask for it.
Sean RobisonSeptember 28, 2014Fantastic chili and spaghetti. The tamale, on the other hand, was just okay. A bit mushy.
- Try the Beef Chili With Spaghetti - Amazing. I love this (via @Foodspotting)
- All types of chili are fantastic. No fries and don't ask
Christina MinnaNovember 4, 2010Fantastic ice box pineapple pie!!! Spicy beef or chicken chilli on bread!!! One of burbank's oldest establishments. Over a 100 years old. A mother/ son team manage it.
Kyle HebertOctober 7, 2010Medium chicken chili over spaghetti is incredible. Finish with lemon pie served on a chilled plate to cleanse the palate. Beyond awesome!

Matt CrawfordJanuary 22, 2013Chili John's serves a mean bowl of Chili. From LosAngeles.com ~ http://bit.ly/BestChili- Henry ThachOctober 19, 2011Lemon pie was heavenly, looking forward to trying the pineapple cream pie!
Wesley UnderwoodJuly 20, 2016After a bowl of hot chili, don't forgot to cool off with a slice of lemon pie.
adding pickles to your chili is key... also if your brave enough ask for some Dave's hot sauce..
