Drunken Monkey

I’ve driven by Drunken Monkey countless times on my way to Beefy King, and, given how I am attracted to eateries with unique names, I was often curious. As a coffee and tea house, I didn’t know what to expect in the way of food. Food-wise, they mostly have sandwiches and soups. Their soup options change daily, but the few times I have been, they always have the same sandwich options. The have options for both vegetarian and vegan diets, but they do have some meaty sandwiches as well. I really like the Dwight Howard special, and a portion of each sale goes to Dwight’s charity. While every sandwich I’ve had there is very good, and generally unique, I’d like to see more options, even if it meant they were on rotation.

The atmosphere is quiet and local art covers the walls. All the art is for sale, and you can contact them to display/sell your own art as well. While it isn’t really my thing, I think it is a great contribution to the community.

Price: $3 – $8

Chili Daddy specializes in chili, but is not limited to just that. While I was only able to try a couple items, everything looked and smelled delicious. Each day they offer a couple different varieties of chili. I tried the traditional Texas style chili on a hot dog with shredded cheddar cheese. It was excellent, the hot dog was Boars Head, the chili had a great flavor, and wasn’t too spicy. I also had a couple of their tacos. The flavors offered are in line with the chili they offer that day, so I had the mango habanero chicken tacos. I honestly liked the tacos more than the chili. These things were excellent, mango and habanero is such a great combination with the spicy and sweet. While the tacos were great, I’m sure I would like the mango habanero chili equally as much. Rather than just eating a bowl of chili, you can get it over rice or pasta. I’ve had chili over pasta at home before, and it’s a nice way to stretch out a bowl of chili.

The service is great, taking your order, making your food promptly, and bringing it out to your table. The place is on the small side, with only about 10 tables, but it’s not meant to be a hangout. It’s a great place to eat some great food and get on with your day. Chili Daddy is currently cash only, so make sure you plan ahead if you normally use your debit or credit card. My only gripe with them would be that I didn’t feel like I got enough food for my money. But, I will say that the food itself is great, and would definitely recommend going here, as I would gladly visit them again.
