Everything was great—the waitress, Alex, even knew what toilet wine was—and $5 margs are a steal. However, they need larger leftover boxes. See the photos to understand my sitch; the skewers stick out of the box. Chili's should spend less on the stylish ear pieces...Read More

We came with friends. Had a great dinner. Did the 4 for me. A lot of food for the money. Plenty of parking. 20 minute wait on a Saturday night. It bad.

This wasn’t just any Chili’s experience. This Chili’s was above and beyond your standard Chili’s expectations. The blended margs were GAS, the chips and salsa-bussing, the 3-for-3 - a DEAL. But none of that compared to the incredible service from Tyler. Tyler is the man.

Pick up: Everything was on point and so good!! I appreciate the kind vibes from Jessica putting the order together. I’m literally in a food coma. Last thing the chips & salsa are so fresh I'm still munching on them 🔥

One of my favorite places to go. The best ribs out there for a chain restaurant. I have found them pretty consistent both in service and food. The quality, price and quantity are pretty well balanced. From dinner with the kids and families …

Really nice staff and quick service even though there were quite a lot of people there when we visited. Margaritas were excellent but a little too sweet if anything.

We order the 3 for me $10.99 deal to go. The smashburger, fries and soup were excellent. It was a busy Sunday night, ordered on-line and the food was ready in 15 minutes. We will definitely be going back regularly.

Love Chilis for a quick, affordable meal. Came in at lunch, the waitress was friendly and efficient. Our food hit the table fast. Seems like we barely handed over the menus and we are already eating.
