Townline BBQ makes just as mean a chili as its sister. After all, good cooking runs in the Honest Man Restaurant Group family. Ground beef, kidney beans, onions and bell peppers are topped with cheddar cheese, chopped red, onion and sour cream, served with house-made cornbread. You know what they say, keep your friends close, and your chilli closer (or something like that).
