Revival Chili

their chili is really good. i got a special, a while back. i'm not sure if this was a one-off, or a regularly reoccurring thing. but it was a cornbread waffle sandwich with chili that CHANGED MY LIFE! so good!!! also their trolley is the coolest food truck ever

They were participating at the Yelp event tonight at the Cranberry farmer's market. I've always wanted to try this food truck...ummm trailer. So tonight I was able to sample a nice portion of the Godfather. I loved it. Cornbread in the bottom of the bowl was great, the chili was tasty, a little fresh lime, jalapeños and spices. I would highly recommend. I spent too much time walking around and seeing what all was there and by the time I went back to get dinner from them, they were closed. I did arrive to the event late as traffic was horrendous. I will seek them out and order from them.

Don't sleep on this food truck! Chili is outstanding. Highly recommend The Godfather which is a combo of beef and pork with a nice kick. Served on top of cornbread and rice it's one of the best chilis I've ever had. Plus a great company with a great mission. Check them out!

I stopped by here a couple of Thursday evenings ago with my wife for dinner. Our neighborhood had signed up a number of food trucks to come on Thursdays and this Thursday happened to be Revival Chili. Since it's a food truck, there's not too much to say about it although it was a little different from the usual ones since it was pulled along behind a truck but other than that, looked like the usual one. There was a single worker in the truck and he was wearing a mask. By the time we got to the front of the line they were out of both the classic chili and the spicy chili and so the only chili options were chicken and vegetarian.For dinner on this evening I decided to go with the chicken con chili and my wife did as well. Within a couple minutes of ordering my wife and I had our bowls and were headed home. Our bowls consisted of a bed a rice, the chili, sour cream, cheese, lime and cilantro. Whenever I first tasted it I was surprised but pleased at how spicy it was since the menu didn't mention it. Beyond the heat it had a good flavor to it and I appreciated the cooling effect that the sour cream had on it. While I was initially concerned about the size of the bowl, thinking that it was small, I had to admit that I was full by the time I was done eating it. My wife also ended up enjoying her chili as well.The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed our meals and I would certainly be interested in trying their spicy beef.

Revival Chili was located outside of Biddles Escape last night. It was my first time trying it and I loved it. They have 3 different types of chili and then they had a couple of specials. I ordered the quesadilla with the classic beef chili in it. It took a bit longer to prepare but I had no where to be so I didn't mind the wait. My quesadilla was amazing. It was 4 pieces too which I thought was a decent sized portion. I would love to try one of their spicy chilis in the future. The classic beef gets a thumbs up. Will be back!

Revival Chili is my absolute favorite food truck and I always try to track them down when they're near me. This past week they were parked at Northland Library, so I decided to swing by and get a bowl. I got the traditional beef chili served over cornbread, which was topped with cheese, sour cream, and chips. The chili was flavorful but not spicy (they do have spicy varieties) which is exactly what I wanted. The bowl was $9 and was filling, which was perfect for a meal. Their mission is really amazing as well and is another reason I love to support them. I will definitely be back when they're near me again!

OMG!!!!!!!!!Ok so the guys with this truck actually live a two minute walk from me. However today is the first time we've been able to visit them and they're at Deutschtown Musical Festival. They are so much more than chili because they offer opportunities to ex-felons to work and eventually have their own trucks. Delicious food for an amazing cause.The chili is so good you guys!! It's the closest to authentic Texas-style chili I've had outside of Texas. It doesn't look like you're getting much when they hand you the bowl but trust me it's filling! The chili is served with either rice or cornbread. I opted for the rice.Seriously I can't say enough good things about this food.Do yourself a favor. Find them and become a patron. You'll be glad you did!!!

Chili Food Truck - no beans in the chili what an interesting concept!! I had the special which was a combination of beef and chili. Accompanied by nacho chips, sour cream, cheddar cheese, jalapenos, and cornbread at the bottom. .. two size options. Its worth getting the larger size for $9.00 I believe. It was flavorful and expected it to be high in sodium but still was ok. I love spicy/hot food and it was just right ..not too overbearing. I could have had it a little hotter. I am guessing since there was no beans it seemed to be little bit on the pasty side? Which isn't a bad thing just different texture is all. There was a little pop up tent for those that were waiting in line - which was a nice touch I thought. You place your order in one window - and pick up in the other.. that was nicely organized.. helps the line keep moving. I will definitely be back for more. Thanks Revival Chili!

TL:DR - I would travel in the bitter cold to have this again, and I've never been a fan of Chili. I'll be honest: I was fully prepared to take down some "decent" food to support a good cause (read about that on their site) - and I've never been the type to crave chili even on the most frigid days.But it only took 1 person to come back to the office with an absolutely loaded bowl of chili with cornbread, rice, tortilla chips, sour creme and cheese before the entire office was bearing the frigid temps to hustle over to the parking lot where the Revival Chili truck was parked.These are more like platters or chili bowls than cups/bowls of chili. The meat varieties are nearly all (if not all) meat. I plan to make my way through them all, but today I went with the spicy chicken chili on top of rice, with chips, cheese, and sour creme. It is spicy - not uncomfortably so, but there's pronounced flavor and heat. If you're particularly sensitive to that sort of thing, just ask for a recommendation to moderate. I've heard the classic beef is more mild - I'll report back after trying. The Gluten Free crowd will appreciate the ample options and obvious signage, my only wish is that a gluten free cornbread becomes available soon enough. If not, the place is already better than good, and well worth visiting.

Generous portion with a nice presentation. Interesting putting cornbread on the bottom of the bowl. While the taste wasn't too bad, the chili itself was kind of weird. It reminded me of Taco Bell meat that is basically pulverized. To me chili is a little soupy at least which this wasn't.
