Reviews
The decor is very utilitarian with metal chairs and tables and a dark floor. Not the most pleasant dining environment.
Our waitress was great. Enthusiastic, full of smiles and knowledgeable. We ordered one of their 3 way specials and a bowl. Lots of food for the price! Everything was very well seasoned although we thought they way oversalted the fries.
The first thing that stood out was the incredible speed and fantastic customer service. The staff was quick, attentive, and really hit a home run on the service front.
Appetizers: The Highs and Lows
Per typical with chain restaurants, you have to start with the chips and salsa. (Pro-tip: Download the Chili’s app and join the free rewards program for complimentary chips and salsa!) The chips are truly insane—fantastic, with a crispness that’s out of this world! They’re so light and airy, finding a stale one is nearly impossible. 10/10 on the chips.
The salsa, however, could use some work. The flavors are very mild, with nothing really popping, and it’s honestly a little too watery. I prefer a salsa with more zing and less runniness. 5/10.
This is where the timing got a little iffy. I ordered mozzarella sticks (3 honey chipotle and 3 Nashville hot) alongside our entrees. We received the entrees first, and I finished my entire meal before the appetizers arrived. For a foodie who needs that content, this was a major letdown and definitely takes a couple of points off the experience.
When the mozzarella sticks finally landed, the Honey Chipotle was entirely too sweet for my taste (5/10). But the Nashville Hot flavor was insanely delicious. Every bite was spicy, crispy, and salty, balanced perfectly with the accompanying ranch—a definite 8/10.
Drinks and Entrees
The seasonal drinks, the Witches Brew and the Arctic Drift, were both delicious but a bit too busy for my simple palate. As expected with most seasonal offerings, there was a lot going on. The Brew gets a 6/10 and the Drift gets a 7/10.
For the main course, I ordered the Old Timer with Cheese burger, your basic bacon cheeseburger. It was good, not great, just good. Chili’s, please consider a secret burger sauce and season the meat a little more! Also, the ‘bottomings’ (toppings on the bottom) are not my preferred style. 6/10.
My friend’s Triple Dipper fared better. The Southwestern Eggrolls were delicious 9/10. The two sliders were just “meh” 6/10. And you can never go wrong with the Chicken Tenders 8.5/10.
Final Verdict
Food: 7/10
Atmosphere: 6/10
Service: 9/10
Overall 7
Averaging a respectable 3 out of 5 stars . Where every bite tells the story!
