When you first walk into Mike's Chili Parlor, you should have a pretty good idea about what to expect. The place is a bit run down, and the neighborhood even more so. Inside, there always seem to be a group of regulars sitting at the counter. The service is very friendly and welcoming. The food is average, but it's a good periodic addition to the lunch rotation. Although when you go to a chili parlor for lunch with a bunch of co-workers, it can lead to a not so pleasant 'atmosphere' in the afternoon.
