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.

This 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.

Soooo 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.

If 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.

They have a selection of hot sauces upon request. Also, the chili can be ordered "dry" for those who want the chili less oily.

Opened 1946. Vintage diner with a U-shaped counter serving only chili items. The 2nd location of 1913 Wisconsin restaurant.

You can’t get most old school, nostalgic than this. Vintage lunch counter, chipper staff. Chili lives up to the hype.

Love how they give first-timers. A trial taste of each type of chili. I went for the chicken but they were all good.

Try having chili with rice. Mmmm... Fantastic! It's not on the menu, so you'll have to ask for it.

Fantastic chili and spaghetti. The tamale, on the other hand, was just okay. A bit mushy.

Kale in the backroom. Ask for it with the chicken chili. Delish.

Fantastic 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.

Medium chicken chili over spaghetti is incredible. Finish with lemon pie served on a chilled plate to cleanse the palate. Beyond awesome!
