This was the worst food I ever ate. The fries were made in old rancid grease. I was sick for 3 days

hooo boy!

Now, I don't think this is such a bad place. Far from it, it's truly amazing. Or at least it was the last (and only) time I visited -- in 1990. While the delicious chili (at the time topped not with 'fine shavings of cheese', but a ridiculously large handful of grated cheddar) sent me into a grease-induced coma from which I could not recover for two days, the charm of the place is nearly as overwhelming as the main course. You want a bit of that moody ambiance that only Belfast and Ballard can deliver? Come on down to Mike's for a pitcher and a bowl of chili. The Saltines are free.

Damn fine chili...

The chili here is no joke. It's good and the toppings take it over the top. I had it as just chili but one of my friends had it as their spaghetti topping and loved it. Good chili!
