Dine in with George. Serving good, quality food, so our customers keep coming back! There's nothing like a classic diner and drive-in to experience that old-fashioned American pastime: eating good food with good people. It's even better when delicious classics like hamburgers, chili, and hot dogs are on the menu. George The Chili King Drive-In has been serving great food in Des Moines, IA since 1952. We first opened as a diner and drive-in with carhop service, and that's how we've remained all these years. Now, 61 years later, we are the only one left in the area! "Excellent-Worth a Detour" as rated by Road Food.

I started eating at The Chili King in the mid 1950's. It was one of my Grandfather's favorite places. My Grandmother used call it a "Greasy-Spoon". Well, maybe ... but the chili is still the best you'll find. I haven't lived in DSM for decades but still make it to the Chili King every time I'm in town. And, yes, it hasn't changed much since the 50's. -WG Van Dyck
