Nick's Chili Parlor

Food service and ambiance were great. Always have been since I was a little girl. I haven't been here in years but since I've lost my dad a few months ago I have been visiting his favorite spots and Nick's Chili was one of them. Definitely a great foodie spot for those cold fall and winter days. Food well seasoned and so good. My friends only thing is he wanted more meat in his chili.

I pass by Nick's Chili Parlor daily, I would always say I'm going to stop by which I never did until Thursday evening September 12th. It was a nice evening that Thursday, Nick's Chili Parlor is staple to Indianapolis Westside that has been in the area for 50yrs now. I went inside the staff greeted me, the ambiance of the place bright lights, bright yellow and red colors, and in the front you'll noticed the hot dog & chili area. The menus are above the hot dog & chili station, the prices of food at the restaurant are very reasonable, and Nick's Chili Parlor even have daily specials on certain foods items. I ended up ordering two cheese hot dogs with ketchup on it along with a fountain drink. Then, I watched the worker at the hot dog station put the shredded cheese on the hot dogs which I assumed wouldn't melt at all. I made it home to eat the cheese dogs, it was still fresh & hot when I was home. The cheese hot dogs were beef dogs, very juicy, and delicious. I will definitely go back to try more food items especially their popular chili.

You go down the line and let them know what you would like. A west side staple for a reason! They are consistent. The food is good and there is plenty of options! Always get the chili cheese dogs and burgers. Always find myself here some how or other. Basic seating inside like a mcds.

I love Nick's Chili!! The food is bomb, try the chili 5 way...Chili, beans, noodles, cheese, and onion and I promise you won't be disappointed.

One of my favorite places to eat in the city, it opened in 1974 and I've been eating there for well over 45 years. They have great chili(one of my must haves when I order) that you can have as a 4way or 5way (with or without pasta), Another must have for me is there chili dogs regular size or foot long. They also have many other great items along with deserts. They always have great friendly service and a nostalgic vibe that takes me back to my childhood. If your a chili lover this is definitely a must try!

Absolutely LOVED the original chili dog! The staff was great and made it a good experience. I will be coming back often!

Very unreliable when they are open. Posted hours mean absolutely nothing. They close whenever they want to or feel like it.

First time eating here. Food was really good. Will definitely come back and try other menu suggestions

Fantastic food and prices. I have been going there for over 25 years. Definitely the best chili in the city!

Best chili in Indianapolis! Excellent hot dogs and hamburgers. Great service by super nice people.
