    Service and all a restaurant should be is fine. However I brought my 26.99 steak shrimp chicken fajitas home. I ate a small one smothered in all the peppers, cheese, etc. at Chili's and didn't notice anything. I got hungry at midnight and started getting them ready. I ate a piece of "steak" alone and noticed a weird chewiness. I pulled it apart like paper and saw patterns inside all three meats and shrimps. I saw lines of glue that stretched half an inch apart then broke and fell. This is fake lab created meat. There is nothing at Chili's to alert me to what I am ingesting and If I'm ok with it.

    My husband and I just went there for lunch. He had the fajitas, and I had a cheese burger. I had 2 bottles of ultra, which were 6 dollars a bottle. He had 2 blue moon. His steak was tough, my burger had no taste to it. The ranch for my fries, was so runny, you could pour it through a screen door. Our meal total was $78.00. that is unacceptable!!! For that price plus a little more, we could have gone to Texas Roadhouse and had a decent meal. We will not be returning!!!

      Went to Togo order window, nice young lady helped me, she took my order then did something to the card machine, turned it to me and left. I looked down at it, it said the amount of 36 plus change, taped my card then said 41 plus change. I asked why she didn’t know. I asked for a manager. A lady came, she didn’t say her name and said I clicked on it for a tip. I would have given one but there wasn’t any place provided for. I said I didn’t then after I was told I did. Again I wanted to cancel the order, she said it was company policy not to do so. That’s when things got bad. I said bs, that’s bs. She then said even if she could it would take 14 working days, that’s 3 weeks. I said bs again. She then got Omar. He said that is company policy. I said bs. He said if I could walk outside, like he wanted to fight.

      I told him I’m a 68 year old man then he said I WAS CUSSING. I think saying bs and the two times I said bull shit was my freedom of speech and when you hear a lie spoken to your face you have a right to call it out. Won’t ever go there again. What a scam. You change the amount then lie about it then threaten your customers with arrest when they catch you is not a way to do business. At the end he gave me he said a 8 dollar discount. Why couldn’t he do that at the beginning or cancel the order if he could do that

      Absolutely horrible Mushroom and Swiss Burger. Never again will I eat there. We were a family group that came out to have a good time together. My Daughter and I ordered Mushroom and Swiss Burgers. We both hated them. The mushrooms were frozen with no sauce or seasoning. Straight out of a can. Absolutely horrible. Next my sister and niece were upset about the Hot Wings. They looked raw. She was so upset because they had zero taste. The manager was very rude. Terrible customer service. I will never eat there again. We spent over $250 on meals and no one was happy.

      Chili’s on 192 is the best in Central Florida. Dale goes above and beyond. He is very attentive to his customers, as is his assistant Juan. They are friendly and always ensure the customer is satisfied. Best place to go. However, Chili’s needs to keep classic nachos always on their menu!

      We had a party of 7. Checked into the receptionist. We checked in via email, was told we would get an email in 15 -20 minutes. There was very little room inside to wait (standing room only). We went outside and at 15 minutes, one of us went in to check on time. He came out and said we were next. We waited another 15 minutes, so we had 35 minutes total wait time invested. Walked in to check, and they had not sent us a text. They said they did and had given our table away. They clearly just dropped us from the list, as the receptionist was flustered to see us. Poor way to run a restaurant. Why not just give the guest a buzzer? Will not be back. Huge waste of time and effort on our part. If you want a table, you should stand inside in front of the receptionist to assure you won't be dropped!

      I had not been to a Chili's restaurant in years. The one that my granddaughter took me to was, of course, different from the original one in our city. I ordered the half rack of ribs, fries and rice. The ribs were delicious, as were the fries, but the first taste of the rice was quite unexpected. It looked like Mexican rice, the taste was spicy but it was dry and cold. The service was very good, but they need to check on that cold rice and make it more edible. I was going to call Mia, our server, but I didn't want to embarrass her when it wasn't her fault. Whoever the chef or cook is, he or she need to vamp up their Mexican rice skills.

      Oh my what in the world has happened to Chili’s. We are there for the last time ever tonight - will never ever be back to any location. The first offense was taking the corn-on-the-cob off the menu, but the second and final offense was a doozy. I ordered a salad minus the chicken - for nearly EIGHTEEN DOLLARS I received a tiny bowl with rice, a spoonful of lettuce and a tiny scoop of guac. I pointed out all the additional stuff it listed on the menu and it was corrected but all they added was a few kernels of corn and 2 tiny sprigs of cilantro. They asked if I’d like to substitute anything for the chicken. Yes, beans - and then an additional $3.75 appeared on my bill. So a veggie burger and a minuscule, rather bland salad? More than $45!! Bye bye, Chili’s - you will be losing LOTS of customers, I’m sure.

Also our drinks came in 20 minutes after we sat down and ordered. My order was correct. But not very good. Part of the order for my guest wasn’t even brought out.

      I ordered sirloin well done about 3 months ago to go, when I got home steak was completely pink inside. Literally I could have thrown up but my next step was to contact Chili’s for a refund. No refund but Chili’s gift card. Okay so I tried it again this Sunday… Ordered my fave sirloin that’s what I was craving.. So this time it was DONE.. In fact so done until you could barely cut it. Well I’ve learned my lesson. It’s so sad you can’t get a well done tender steak from Chili’s. If you want or are wanting a well done steak, better try another restaurant. Chili’s is NOT the one!!!

      I'm writing this review to warn others about the terrible experience my family had at Chili's Grill & Bar in Tupelo, MS (Store #899 at 3196 N Glos. From the moment we sat down, things started going downhill. We ordered the Original Trio, a % rack of ribs, and loaded mashed potatoes— and every single item was a disaster. The Trio was burnt to the point of being inedible, the ribs were dry and completely flavorless, and the mas. What made it worse was that some of the food was unexpectedly spicy which made my kids uncomfortable and unable to eat. We weren't warned. The service was just as bad. The waitress was unfriendly and inattentive, and then tried to sneak a 20% tip onto the bill without asking or expli—despite the fact that the food was awful and the service was below basic standards. That felt like a scam.

      I've eaten at other Chili's locations before and never had an experience this bad. This visit was not just disappointing— it was unacceptable and potentially dangerous. I'm shocked that a national chain would allow a location to operate like this. I will never return to this Chili's, and I strongly urge others to think twice before dining here. Management needs to take serious action to fix the ft

      Today I picked up my order at Chilis Round Lake on Rollins Road. My order was wrong. I called back to have them update my order so I can return this order and have them make the correct order. The young man placed me on hold for 20 minutes. I assume they wanted me to hang up. I took a screenshot of the call time. No one ever returned to the phone so I hung up and called back to ask for a manager, I was placed on hold again by the same gentleman. I decided to accept my loss and write this review. I didn’t want any free food just what I paid for. This was the third time my order was messed up but the burgers are great. I’ve had mushy eggrolls, burnt fries or no fries hardly. I will not spend money at this chilis anymore.

      AWFUL experience for weary travelers. The bartender at 8 pm on June 30th at the D-35 gate Chili’s was absolutely horrid! She was rude, demanding, completely unresponsive to requests, ignored us entirely at one point, and had the nerve to TALK BACK to my brother and I, saying “told you” when we asked another server the same question we asked her.

      The reason we asked a second person was because of the way she acted for the entire hour we sat at the bar. She obviously hates her job and people and should never be in a position to work with the public. It’s no wonder the only food that people wanted to eat (7 out of 10 customers) was the cheapest item on the menu- chips and salsa. It was painful to leave her a tip, but unlike her we aren’t jerks. If there was a “zero out of ten” option for rating her service, people would choose it over and over. Every comment she made was dripping with sarcasm and disdain. I’m an American with Disabilities, yet even with my orthopedic handicap, I would gladly hike to the other end of the airport than deal with her ever again. SHAME ON HER and Chili’s for employing such a rotten individual. Zero out of 10 experience!!!

      Just decided to do lunch with my husband at Chili's in the Crossings Spring Hill, TN. I had eaten sandwich before left so knew I would be doing a broccoli side and tea. He chose the 3 for me, chicken sandwich and changed the crispy chicken to a grilled chicken. We have done this multiple times at this location. When we got the bill the change caused the sandwich to go from 10.99 to 16.99. We have never seen an uncharted for this substitution and were blown away. The manager visited the table and said that the price change was correct. What??? Won't visit this Chili's again ... Too many choices very close to this restaurant. Unhappy.

To start with, the appearance of what was given to me looked like almost black feces; is this a stool sample for some rectal exam I wondered! It was plain; not garnished, nothing else but just Chili! It tasted like it was sitting on the pot for hours! probably right, it tasted like what was at the bottom of the pot. Here is the point. The price is $7.89 for a small bowl of chili and all I got was a slob that tasted old, with a very depressing appeal and presentation. What happened to you guys!?

      It was my birthday, July 25th; have always loved going to Chili's. We were seated in the bar area & right away I was met with a fly at the table. Little did I know (until I noticed) there were flies all over the window; we told the waiter we were moving, looked okay (at first), but they were there also. I told my friend, "I'm sorry, but I can't stay here" & she agreed, just didn't want to disappoint me on my special day.

      There was a couple next to us & I said, "How are you coping with all the flies" & the gentleman said, "Yes, it's bad, but what can you do." I got to thinking, "what can you do"?? Before you open your place of business, make sure "this" is not an issue!! If these insects were swarming around our tables (without any food), then what must it be like (back in the kitchen). I went to the car & my friend stayed & paid for the food. The server told her that "they" had been telling management about the fly issue for a while & maybe now they would do something about it. I will never feel the same about Chili's & certainly will not be back to that location. Very disappointing.

      Again, today, Chili’s has chosen to serve what they want you to have and NOT what is actually ordered. I have called cooperate headquarters in Texas to report this restaurant and spoken with managers at this restaurant about its lack of customer satisfaction. Today, they were out of hamburgers. Left off our tea, but certainly charged us for it. We ordered a club as sandwich and it had one very burned piece of bacon. Ordered fajitas last week and got NO tortillas or cheese with delivery order. This has become a norm for this Thomaston location! I have reported them to both corporate and local for their overcooked asparagus, leaving off portions of orders - - especially when they are delivered. It is truly ridiculous how many times they can mess up a simple order.

      The only time, it seems, they get orders correct for take out or delivery is when I call them to tell the local restaurant that I am placing a delivery order or to go order and to please double check it. And this is when I have to speak to management. Charlie is the only one who does check it that I know of for sure. Others, such as a bartender who told me she would lied and the order was wrong. As in, not the order at all!! It was part of someone else’s delivered to us.

      I used to like Chili's a lot but they've gone way down over the years. My favorite dish was the cajun pasta with chicken. The last few times I ordered this dish, it was not good... One time there was so much spice that I couldn't even eat it; I tried to choke it down but it was not happening. I never send dishes back to the kitchen but this time I did. And every time it came out cold. On my latest visit, I ordered the buffalo chicken ranch sandwich. I did get this minus the ranch. I assumed it would be a normal buffalo chicken sandwich, but it was just a fried, flavorless piece of chicken with a drop of buffalo sauce on the top, and the chicken was smaller than the bun and way overcooked. Not good, no flavor... Could've gotten a better chicken sandwich from McD's. Needless to say, I won't be returning to Chili's again. The waitress (I believe her name was Jenna) was very nice and helpful. She gets 5 stars.

      I have been coming to the 34710 North Valley Phoenix 85086 location for 11 years and almost daily for the last year and will not be back. All of the bartenders are great except for Jeanine. She has been rude time and time again and has even threatened to smack me for innocent jokes that bartenders should not be offended to. All of the regulars will not come in on Tuesday night when she is bartending due to her attitude and being rude. Please put a different bartender on for Tuesday, Thank You. I have overheard the workers say jokes to each other and even joke with me and I have never took offense to any of it.

      On Friday night, Jeanine's daughter Kate that also works there overheard me say a joke to the guy next to me which was "The surfers in Hawaii remind me of myself. They hang 10." Her daughter is older 25-30, she went back and told her mom what she heard and Jeanine came out screaming at me in front of customers and then a couple minutes later came back out again saying, "You are going to apologize to my daughter." For one my voice does not travel and I am surprised she heard it, it was not offensive and this is a BAR! I will not quit filing complaints with corporate and the BBB until she has either been taken out of the bar area or she has lost her job completely. Not only did she threaten me but also embarrassed me in front of other customers by yelling.

      UPDATE: I called and spoke to the manager Amy to let her know my concern and she said, "I don't blame her for saying she would smack you and as for the incident Friday night I am sure there is a lot more to it than that.." "Really Amy, do you not realize the guy that I said the joke to is a rights attorney, he would make a great witness" and then she said, "Maybe you should go to a different bar from now on." It is nice to know that Chili's promotes both verbal and physical assaults on their customers.
