Good place. Decent breakfast. Gluten free friendly! The server guessed I had a gluten allergy when I asked about the breakfast potatoes. The manager came to talk to me about my food allergies. I felt very comfortable eating here. Great service too.

Great spot to wait for your flight. Not many other options in this terminal. Had s few beers and the queso dip to pass the time. Waitress seemed tired from her long morning, but was very attentive. They do not have wall outlets at their tables.

This is the airport version of Chilis and still has great food! The layout includes an open seating area that extends out into the terminal and a separate full sports bar in the back. Servers are very outgoing and friendly. I have eaten here a couple of times and the fare is consistently good for lunch, dinner and in-betweens. If you’re early to the terminal and have time before your flight you can count on solid, Chili’s tex mex flavor and quality. A good stand by!

If you are hungry but you don’t want McDonald’s, this place is great. Quick service and food is decent. 3 Star because not the same taste as a Chili’s restaurant in your neighborhood because of its location in an airport, but the wait staff is more attentive and understanding if you need to dine and dash… well maybe dine, pay, and dash… Food is average. My wife and I split the quesadilla explosion salad. They were kind enough to split the order in the kitchen and gave us our own portion on individual plates. The taste however was sub-par for a Chili’s restaurant in my opinion. My salad was great but my wife swallowed a jalapeño pepper, which was not supposed to be in salad. She was not excited about that type of explosion from her Quesadilla Explosión Salad…

We all know what Chilis is(hopefully). I normally don’t go to Chilis, but it is basically the only place to eat in Terminal F of the Tampa airport. The service is pretty good and you can relax while waiting for your flight

Service was eh, price definitely high, but to be expected when eating at the airport. Had a southwestern omelette, toast is a buck extra. Filling average food but they give you a good size portion. Price is in line with airport locations

Honestly, this chillis wasn’t bad. I came around 12:30 pm so it wasn’t too crowded. My waitress was super nice, they got my order correct. My food was piping hot when it came out. I wasn’t in any particular rush, but I was in and out within an hour.

Fast friendly service gets this Tampa Airport concourse based Chilis a 3 star review. I would have liked to give it more but the service was better than the food was. We stopped in for a snack while changing planes on 1÷23÷16 and from the moment we stepped into the concourse the wonderful aromas lured us in. We were very happy they were located just across from our gate, it was certainly better than grabbing a bag of chips or nuts to snack on. We were treated and seated immediately and it was less than three minutes before we had placed our drink orders! I was impressed. We decided to split an order of the crispy chicken and fries. Sadly they have changed their batter and it is no longer the unique light and crispy batter I loved so much. It is just a batter like many other places now. While the food arrived fast and hot, it was over cooked and the chicken was very hard on the outside. The inside was ok. The fries were great, though. I could have enjoyed more of them. While the chicken wasn’t great, it was, as I said before much better than grabbing a bag of chips. The promptness and kindness of the staff would make me try it again just to see if it was an off day.

Very meh. While the staff was friendly, I felt we we eating some microwaved food. The presentation in the to box left something to be desired. Also, be warned it takes a while at «to go» because it shares a kitchen with the regular restaurant. Lastly, they could also do a better job at wiping down the tables.

Ok, it’s more crowded than a regular Chili’s, but that’s because it’s right by all the flights coming and going and who doesn’t like Chili’s chips and dip along with a margarita before(or after) a flight? It’s consistent and the servers are actually pleasant! How?

Descent place to grab a bite before you board your plane. It’s basically your only option if you’re flying out of gate«F». I always order their salads and they’re ok, the staff is usually friendly and it’s your typical Chili’s menu. Not much to say about it, but if you’re at TPA and F, it’s not a bad option.

I’ve managed to live 40+ years(I’m old, okay?) without EVER setting foot into a Chili’s, ever — until today. Sometimes a person needs to eat lunch and there are not a huge number of options because the Tampa airport is undergoing construction. Enter Chili’s and shame. Anyway, if you’ve ever eaten in a Chili’s, I assume you know the drill. To me, it looked like someone took an Applebees menu and randomly sprinkled in the words«pico de gallo», «queso» and«chipotle». I had chicken tacos which were not very good, but not terrible either — they tasted mostly of salt. My server was really nice though and everything came out quickly which is what you want when you’re between flights. Essentially, it’s a Taco Bell with margaritas. Also, there is a huge sign on the wall that urges people to «Eat More Chili». That seems like terrible advice when people are going to be boarding a plane shortly. If you’re sitting next to/near me — please do NOT eat more chili. Thank you in advance.

Orders the chicken baja bowl(or something). Of course, the pictures look way better than what was brought. Barely any beans or corn, the lettuce was brown and the chicken… made me sick as I chewed it. It seemed undercooked and had a very weird texture. Maybe it was fake chicken. I dunno. The server was gracious and took it off the bill and even offered a chicken salad or a cheesecake to go. I really appreciated her efforts and that’s why they earned 2 stars. I went to Popeye’s chicken which was my next mistake.

30 – 40 minute wait with open tables on a random Tuesday afternoon? Visibly open tables. Tells me all I need to know about how you value customers at this location…

Nothing exceedingly special about this place, but I was happy to sit here and pre-flight(double goose y pina) and snack on some chips and salsa(pretty big serving, which I did not finish). I think we all know the menu and what they generally serve, and how it’s generally tasty. The service is friendly and quick, which is sometimes necessary in an airport bar. There were also plenty of seats away from the bar in their dining area for those who want to sit and dine. The drinks were good and strong enough, and the selection was ample. I spent about $ 20 and my snack hit the spot and was exactly what I was looking for in the time I had. Solid option if looking to pre-flight and you’re in this terminal(I was flying AA).

An airport Chili’s review… yes…I do occasionally review an airport restaurant. Atmosphere — Secure, loud, busy, an oasis made available to you as soon as you are through security, cordoned off by metal railings are several square tables with chairs Service — friendly, quick, helpful, jovial Food — I had the Santa Fe Chicken Salad, which for airport food was respectable. The chicken had decent flavor and did not taste as processed as I would have expected. The salad presentation was good, as it actually looked like someone made an effort in preparing the dish. The server also recommended getting the larger beer, which I found helpful, as it was only a few dollars more(and since my flight was delayed, the extra ounces made the wait even easier). Overall — While I don’t necessarily love airports and I don’t necessarily love Chili’s restaurants, my server, Carmen, help make the experience a decent one.

Not too bad for airport food. I didn’t have a lot of time before my flight boarded, but I was hungry so I decided to order some breakfast from Chili’s. The waitress was great about getting me in and out quickly. I am sure they are used to that here. She also recommended getting the potatoes on the side rather then in the burrito, which was a great suggestion. The burrito itself was actually pretty good as well– I could only finish half!

Typical Chilis but at airport. Sign said see hostess for seating so I walked up to hostess and she never turned toward the front. She just walked away and went into the back. But ok, I went to bar where staff is friendly and customers are too.

This was located in the Tampa International Airport in the C gate area. We had time to kill before our flight and opted for a lunch here. Menu is similar to the regular restaurant. We were seated right away around 3:30−4 pm in the afternoon. We both ordered the appetizer combo. I chose the southwestern egg rolls, cheese curds and big mouth bites. All served with sauces. The service was very good and refills were plentiful. The food was good and I was grateful to eat something other than a fast food burger at the airport. We weren’t rushed and we were close to the monitors and speakers could be heard. Restrooms were also convenient just past the entrance. This location is also open early for breakfast which is served 5 – 10 am and then the regular menu kicks in. In general the airport had some good food options besides food court style places.

I am not usually a Chilis fan, but having time to kill and wanting something at the airport this was one of few options that seemed appetizing. My biggest issue with them is that it always tastes super processed, which makes it really over priced for how processed it tastes. This was the same as I expect from a Chilis. My husband and I shared their southwest egg rolls — which are good — can’t really go wrong there. And I got their fresh mex bowl with chicken which was actually better than I expected. The lettuce was a little sketchy, and the cheese was the cheapest a person can buy, borderline plastic, couldn’t eat any of it. But besides that it was pretty good and if in a pinch I would get it again. The employee who took our order was very nice — and brought our food to us rather than just calling us to come get it.
