My spouse and I used to be Saturday breakfast regulars when we lived in Valpo. Any time we're in the area, we make sure to add breakfast at the Chili Bowl to our plans.
The omelets are amazing and so filling that I always end up taking my leftovers home. Friendly, quick, attentive servers. Reasonable prices.

Oh Viking chili bowl! This place is a must. Quality service, and food. Price is right as well. It’s almost like a little hidden gem that many people around here don’t know about. That old-school vibe is perfect. Check it out you will not be disappointed!

Am I just gonna drive on by when I see an establishment called Viking Chili Bowl? No indeed I am not.
This restaurant is not Scandinavia, but in Valparaiso, IN. And though it's been a local favorite since the '80s (the 1980s), I can find no evidence that Vikings ate chili. Chili peppers were not introduced to Europe until the 1500s.
So prepare to suspend your disbelief and just enjoy the comfort food in this country casual diner. The parking lot was full of trucks and SUVs (no longboats) one Sunday morning.
So did I partake of the namesake dish? No I did not. I did enjoy some very tasty biscuits and gravy. Lots of comfy booths, friendly wait staff and large portions.
And the Viking Chili Bowl is open at 5AM seven days a week!
