Chili’s Grill & Bar

Okay, I know this is a chain restaurant, but what can I say? When you commute a 100+ miles to work and back everyday, the last thing you want to do is jump in the car and navigate to where all the local restaurants are. This location is conveniently located a stones throw away from my house.
It does get busy at times, but the wait is never longer than 15 minutes from my experience. I am a member of their «rewards» club, so I get savings that way, as well. I have had touch-​and-​go wait staff, with sometimes getting awesome service and other times receiving poor, inattentive waiter/​ress. So, I took away one-​star due to the inconsistent service. They need to train their wait staff how to take care of multiple tables.
The food, though. It is consistently good, I have actually been here many, many times but forget to check-​in or feel guilty for not checking into a local restaurant, like my many Unilocaler friends. Also, another thing to keep in mind is that many of the local restaurants cater to New Mexican flavors and I cannot handle spice at all. So, if a bunch of food is spicy on a menu, I won’t be coming. Anyway, back to the food, it is delicious, and what can I say? They’ve got their cooking down to a T. T is for terrific, by the way. I love their table-​side guacamole (my favorite appetizer), but also a big fan of their southwest egg rolls. All of their burgers and fries are good. Their steaks and ribs are also very flavorful, meaty, and delicious.
I recently went to a party that was catered by this Chili’s and it was spectacular. I also get their Quesadilla Explosion Salad, which is a favorite — the Santa Fe salad is too spicy for me. So overall, great, dependable restaurant, who rewards repeat customers by offering a pretty good reward plan. Chili’s is a restaurant staple in our family.

Manager didn’t really give us a choice but to sign up for rewards program and the waitress seemed «out of it» the food is always great at chilies but the service was the major problem at this chillies. And didn’t get a refill for like half an hour!

Terrible service. I placed an order over an hour in advance over the phone and the lady on the phone was acting terribly rude!!! She kept smarting off to me! Saying that I need to familiarize myself with their menu more and many more rude things. And I was VERY VERY CLEAR that I was picking it up today and they put in the order for tomorrow! I am very unhappy with the service and the food was terrible too.

Chili’s has been around for quite a long time and their menu has gone through some interesting changes over the years, but it always has long time favorites as well. This particular Chili’s was moderately busy and we were seated as close to the kitchen and dishwasher as you could be, but hey, it happens sometimes and they really weren’t that noisy after all. The wait staff were very friendly and the manager checked on us during the visit, which always earns points in my book. Our waitress forgot to place our appetizer order and after it had been long enough, I mentioned this to her and she quickly apologized and made sure that we received it promptly and knocked it off of our bill. She apologized a couple more times before the end of our visit while attending to us as often as we required. It really was good service, and the food was spot on what you would expect with full stomachs all around. I do find the spontaneous «Happy Birthday» fanfare erupting during our meal annoying (and yeah I know that just comes with the territory) but I digress. This particular location across the highway from the balloon fields has the quality of service and professionalism you would want at any restaurant establishment. Thanks Chili’s!

The wife (aka Vicki S) and I stopped in before heading to do some hunting gear shopping. Place was PACKED but service was great. Ordered some drinks and an appetizer and they all came out in lightning time — drinks were cold and apps were hot do no complaints here! Try this Chili’s out — it is one of the better ones I have been to.

We stop in here for dinner about once a month, we enjoy sitting in the bar area because the service is very good in there. We stopped in tonight for a quick meal, it was good. I had the 6 ounce sirloin with grilled avocado, garlic tomatoes and the fresco salad. My steak was cooked perfectly. Hubby had the usual quesadilla explosion salad. I want to say thank you to our server for putting the Women’s world cup on tv for us… that was very nice. Go USA beat Germany.

Great meal this evening; mango-​chile tilapia with broccoli and rice. Very tasty! Friendly staff and excellent service. We’ll be back!

Go to this particular Chili’s all the time. Always have great service and great food!

Well I was disappointed with my meal. I had the build your own southwest plate or whatever you call it. The tostada and the taco were both soggy from the beans. Although my food did not take long to come out it looked like it had been under the warmers for awhile. It was pretty yucky.

Not a great take out experience tonight. Ribeye Steak ordered medium rare was rare inside. Broccoli tasted awful like it had sat in water all day and salad was not very fresh, looked like they were boxed up yesterday. Disappointed

It’s been a VERY long time since we have eaten at Chili’s– due to various hostesses insisting to seat us near the restroom every time we go to eat. We decided to give it another try. It was awful. We were a table of 3, and there were only 4 other tables in the entire restaurant. Service was extremely slow, and our drinks that were ordered were not the drinks that were delivered. Our appetizer was delivered with our entrees, and our food was dry and looked as if it was hanging out under the heat lamp for too long. My husband, who always finishes all the food on his plate, left half of his Chicken Ranch Sandwich. We were really looking forward to their Chocolate Molten Lava Cake, but didn’t want to wait longer to ask the waitress if we could order one. I had to ask the manager for our ticket, since our waitress stopped serving us. We’re done with Chili’s and have vowed to eat local as much as possible.

Typical Chili’s. the service is generally above average. The fajitas are always tasty. We always enjoy the chips and salsa.

You know those days when you’re working your butt off at the gym, totally unmotivated, on the dang eliptical pushing 3 miles uphill for 40 minutes and a Chili’s commercial comes on the dang gym tv? Well yeah. happens to us all and those advertising wizards know just how to lure you in! So I had one such night where my workout buddy and I ended up at this Happy Hour Oasis. I call it this because of their awwwseome daily happy hour deals! Two full orders of extremely naughty appetizers deep fried cheesy and spicy yumminess washed down with two rather well made ice cold house margaritas… for $ 16! For two people! Yeah its a chain, yeah its totally unhealthy, yeah I’ll be spending extra time making it up at the gym. But to quote the man, «ol’ Jack always says… what the hell». ;o)

It is what it is… one click above fast food. It wasn’t bad, everyone enjoyed their meal. The real issue is that the waitress was too busy.
We sat in the bar area because the dining room was full. Our order was taken correctly and the food was how we ordered it. Once served, we never saw our waitress until the bill needed to be paid. Our drinks were not refilled even once.
Three stars is generous for the service. I would suggest more staff for the lunch hour rush.

Love Chili’s. Recently used them to help cater a party. Food was very good and made my life so much easier. I was able to enjoy the party.

they have the most nastly tasting chili faty and gross. you cant have bad chili if youre name is chili’s. they shopuld re-​name themself «baby backs»

It’s a decent enough Chili’s. You know what to expect, and they do it well here.
