It’s Chili’s grew up eating this chain and still eat it now. I mean it’s affordable and tasty and there is something on the menu for all. Good for lunches or dinner… Bar area if you want to sit and have a drink or if you eat at the bar you get free chips and salsa bottomless. They have all type of meal deals. It’s texmex barbq barfood and some light plates all in one take your pick let your tummy do the ordering. This location is close by but always check your togo’s they don’t always get it right. If you go there on a weekend sometimes it takes a while to get your order in a timely manner other than that it is simply chilis…

Food took forever to come out… then had the nerve to come out COLD! My food was cold & my waitress was terrible. Never, ever going to this chilis again… the 2 for $ 20 isn’t even worth it.

It is a chili’s, honestly with chain restaurants I do not expect anything out of this world. Getting seated took a bit of time, however, or server was very pleasant and attentive. Food was decent, nothing to write home about, however, this place is great for nights when you do not feel like cooking but do not want to spend a lot.

Always get their 2 for $ 20 deal with my hubby, ribs & fries for me(love them!!) & he switches it up every time with the options they have on the 2 for $ 20 menu, but we are always happy with our food & service is always great as well! Chilis chips & salsa = TODIEFOR! Not kidding, I would go there just for the chips and salsa!

Ate at Chilis for the first time since being a kid and got absolutely wrecked from their bacon burger. It was the worst. Just the worst.

Definitely a below average chili’s location. The food is okay, but just doesn’t seem very fresh all the time. Service is also okay, but many of the times I’ve been here the servers seem as though they couldn’t care less. Not a fan.

Well what a BIG disappointment! Food was so bad. The chicken tasted like it was out of a bag and microwave. Shrimp was under Cook and tasted too like it was out of a bag I want to ask the Mangement«What happened to the fresh food» the fajitas use to be steaming and fresh. Get rid of the bagged pre made food and go back to your roots. I will never return, I will go to BJ s or chipotle for fresh food. I am so very disappointing!!! I really use to enjoy the restaurant. Rethink your choose of wasting your money Just wanted to add, the southwest salad use to be so go now it sucks! Where are the black beans the corn and who puts spinach in a southwestern salad??? REALLY! To bad, who is running this company I would love to talk with them, owners please email me lets talk…

Very disappointed in the overall experience tonight. Fajitas were not even sizziling or hot, food was warm. At table kiosk was not functioning. Waitress was nice. Salads tasted and looked like a bag was dumped in a bowl. Portion sizes decreased through the years. Quality has definitely went way down. Was very disappointed in my fajitas though, they used to be a great experience with the sizzle and fresh ingredients.

I mostly prefer Mom ‘n Pop joints. There are very few chains I will ever likely declare as spectacular, especially most«bar-food» venues! I was kindly given a Chili’s gift card, so I took a friend to visit for fun and a free meal on me. Eh… For starters, the service was very slow! All of the wait staff seemed very young here. That’s not a problem IF Chili’s has a more mature head of the front house to keep things in order. Nobody in any sort of leadership was present here. We tried to beat the«rush» here by coming at 4:30pm and it was still chaotic! So expect a lot of waiting, while seeing employees peck away at their smart phones in the shadows and corners. Service be damned! As for the food? I got the appetizer sampler: boneless chicken wings, sw fried egg rolls, and Big Mouth bites hamburger sliders. My friend ordered a simple hamburger. The kitchen’s output convinced us they no longer really«cook» here, just«heat» and assemble prepackaged food from a corporate warehouse? Nothing tasted fresh, whatsoever! I expect a frozen/fried taste profile and texture on any appetizer offerings. Yet my friend’s simple burger patty seemed to be a frozen/re-heated one too? And the dipping sauces? Just simple Ken’s salad dressings from Publix have more flavor. But I think Chili’s should be forgiven to some degree: it is, what it is… Mostly a bar, pushing out enough cheap drinks so later the patrons think the just«heated/assembled» food is real cooking! There are so many bar/drink/heated food joints out there now that I should not complain. It is what a portion of our public now demands? The worst part for me is that I still have some $$ left on my gift card. Very soon I will pass this card onto a «just heated food» fan and friend, and make their day!

Ordered big mouth bites. Buns we’re burnt, meat was overcooked and dry. Very disappointing. Sat at the bar and service was great so that’s at least one positive.

Chili’s has become one of our favorite go-to restaurants in the area. We try to grab a table in the bar for the free chips and salsa. The servers are quick, friendly and the noise level is perfect for our active toddler. We often order the 2/$ 20 menu pairings which offer an appetizer and two entrees. Fried pickles and flatbreads are amazing!!! Chicken fajitas with Chipotle lime rice and honey Chipotle chicken crispers are two of our favorite meals. There’s always a huge portion with leftovers or enough to share. We’re usually too full for dessert, but they look great!

We walked in and it was crowded, so we headed right over to the bar area — free chips and salsa. LOL Added some queso and it wasn’t that great. We did the two for 20 — fries were delicious. Chicken fajitas were the usual. I was impressed with the new way they display the sides to the fajitas. Pretty cute. Didn’t know you could get refills or call your waitress from the screen on your table. She could have been a little more pleasant, but what can you do? All in all, it was ok. Its Chillis, chain restaurant, you know what you’re going to get.

Well I always love the Caesar salad with grilled chicken at chili’s! And love when I get free chips and salsa when I sit at the bar! The girl behind the bar is really nice too! She always remembers me when I am here so it makes me feel good with that personal touch! Anyways I do enjoy coming here as it’s such a great consistent spot to eat decent food. I would def recommend sitting in the bar area for the free chips and salsa! Yummy!

Cool games to play at table with other guests. The food was greasy. Really not healthy. A lot of meat. Not a lot of veggies or seafood or fish options. Service was good though.

Our server was awesome. Fajitas were great. Had the grilled chicken salad but the greens weren’t very fresh or I would have given them five stars. Clean, excellent service and the two for $ 20 deal can’t be beat.

Stopped here for a margarita and a snack after doing some shopping. The bartender recommended a blueberry martini which turned out to be quite good, also turned out to be the most expensive one on the menu. had to ask for a menu, had to ask for utensils, had to ask for another drink, no offers of anything. The chips and queso came out quickly once ordered and the queso was the worst queso I’ve ever had in my entire life. I mean bad. I can eat some queso, this I could barely nibble at. It’s a chain so I didn’t expect much. Just one of those mall places you stop in when you need a drink and to get away from the chaos.

Chili’s has become that restaurant that we only go to when we are super bored with the other late night restaurants AND enough time has passed to forget how awful they are. They may have a new décor and some new menu items, but this is still the same old crappy Chili’s with the same problems: 1– rarely a hostess to greet you 2– mediocre to awful service that takes FOREVER 3– disappointing(sometimes disgusting) food(I have even been served moldy cheese at this location. eww) Our most recent visit reaffirmed that we do not like Chili’s and we will not be returning soon. We arrived a little before 9pm and there was not an employee in sight. Since we were hoping to make this a quicker visit, we seated ourselves at the bar area along with 90% of the people that were in the restaurant(I’m guessing there was not hostess for them either). We were asked for our drink orders rather quickly. We ordered our drinks and took a few minutes to decide on our dinner. You are supposed to be brought free chips and salsa in the bar area… never happened. To make matters worse, the two tables right in front of us both received their chips and salsa. I guess they just didn’t like us? After we ordered we waited… and waited… and waited. It took about 35 minutes for one mushroom swiss burger and a carnitas fajitas. When the food arrived the burger was smaller than normal(we have ordered this burger here before), overcooked and SUPER dry. On top of that, my Husband’s fries were about ¼ of the normal amount they serve. He literally had about 7 overcooked tiny fries on the plate. Pathetic. My fajitas were served with a huge amount of onions, green bell peppers(which were undercooked) and carnitas. Unfortunately, I was only given a few tiny tortillas. It also came with some ridiculous tree of condiments(guac, some sort of taco sauce, sour cream, cheese, tomatoes, green chilis with pickled onions and a few other things). The meat was BLAND. How do you even make carnitas bland? The meat naturally has so much flavor. I also had a HUGE piece of stringy fat. Disgusting. We both ate our entrees feeling more and more gross as we ate. We left feeling sick. We probably would have complained if there had been anyone around. After waiting for awhile and having our credit card on the table, we finally had our server come back and say«Ohh sorry, you pay with the Ziosk now» and show us how to pay. That would have been nice to know at the beginning. Needless to say, we will not be back anytime soon. We will stick with BJ’s for late night meals.

Pretty meh experience. It’s Chili’s, I don’t expect much. We were seated in a booth by the bar. Took a bit for a server to come by. They had those Ziosks where you can order drinks, food etc but only drinks from the bar it looked like(didn’t see options for regular drinks or water). Free chips and dip were ok. Our southwestern egg rolls were good. My honey chipotle chicken crispers were not how I remembered them tasting at other Chili’s locations. Didn’t seem as crispy and flavorful. I didn’t like them. Paid on the Ziosk and left. Have had more personable experiences at other locations.
