Chili’s Too!

Reviewers:
If you go to a chain restaurant in an airport and expect it to be exactly like the rest of the chain you’ve already lost the game.

Service was decent. Waitress was miserable but attentive. The food was pretty bad though. I ordered a regular cheese burger which came out super fast. I would say not having a long wait was a good thing if I didn’t believe they microwaved my burger upong request. Definitely not up to par with chili’s which isn’t that good in the first place.

Ugh. Stuck between Cancun and San Francisco we were incredibly desperate to eat something so we went to the first place we saw which was unfortunately this sad sack of a restaurant.
First off, they stuck us in a corner crowded with other people while there were plenty of empty seats around.
Second, the waiter comes off like he obviously doesn’t want to be there and is just rude. Doesn’t bother to explain why a certain item cannot be ordered but of course suggests a similar item that is much more expensive. Then when I ask him to repeat because his English and voice were difficult to understand (btw I teach ESL and can understand just about any accent imaginable) he just mumbles something and takes off. Ok, strike three. At that point we just got up and left. Avoid at all costs.

Yes, I’m going to give it a 4 — why? Bc it’s a Chili’s at the airport. Sometimes, all you want is just a chicken sandwich without going entirely to the fast food side. And that’s something I can consistently count on whenever I fly into the Charlotte airport. And that, for this review, is enough.

These dummies literally didn’t serve us. We sat down after being in Mexico for a week dying for a simple burger. I saw a Manager and said very loud «excuse me» and she literally walked right passed us ignoring me. I gave her the bennefit of the doubt and waited until she walked by again. I then said «excuse me» even louder this time and she walked right by our table ignoring me again. We then proceeded to get up and leave. When we walked out we the idiot hostess dummies said «have a good one» in a sarcastic tone and then said to one another «whatever we don’t make tips». It was literally the biggest joke of a restaurant ever. Idiots here. Don’t go. Go to food court. Necessito Quiznos.

Ouch, this is about the worst eats I’ve had in a while.
Biscuits and Gravy = Dried puck and lukewarm gravy.
Egg over easy = One overcooked rubbery egg. It’s a chew toy!
Service = slooooooooow
Coffee = The secret flavor must be using half filled ashtrays to make coffee.
Damn, I never thought it could ever get this bad, anywhere.

Food OK… poor service… margaritas are much smaller than they are in locations outside of airport

The only reason we ate here was because we hadn’t eaten since 7am, were supposed to fly out at 7:30am but it was now 2pm, and we both had bad cases of traveler’s diarrhea and hoped for a fresh wrap or turkey sandwich that wouldn’t tear up our insides.
It was very crowded, and there was even a wait to be seated. This is not your traditional Chili’s menu, only certain dishes are served. Chili’s Too should be called «Chili’s Light.»
Our food tasted the same as any Chili’s restaurant, but the price was hiked up. $ 10 for a sandwich is irritating when the only other option is a $ 7 deli sandwich at the grab-​n-​go types of shops in the airport.
Not a whole lot of time or room for relaxation or having drinks and chatting.

I had some time to kill at the airport, so I decided to stop here and grab a bite to eat. This isn’t fast food, so if you’re in a hurry to catch your flight, you would be better off going somewhere else, but I thought the service progressed at a normal pace. There are a lot of tables and people at the tables with luggage, so the place feels pretty crowded, but otherwise it is mostly like any other Chili’s. I had the mini sliders which were fine, nothing special. Prices are what you’d expect for an airport — on the high side.

How do you review an airport restaurant, and a QSR chain like Chili to boot? Well this will be short. I ordered one of their chicken dishes, but got the wrong one — must be my soft-​speaking voice! Their choices seem more limited than a regular Chili’s, but then I’m not exactly an authority on that. Sam on tap tends to smooth things over a bit — so, yeah, higher prices, noisy airport concourse, frazzled guests and wait staff. Could have been better? I don’t quite see how.

I sat down around 10:30 this morning and planned to hang for a couple hours before my flight. The host sat me and I began waiting. Meanwhile, another person was sat at the next table a minute or two later. Before he could get settled in, a server descended upon him faster than a speeding bullet to take his order.
I sat, made eye contact with like 4 or 5 servers and was ignored. Nobody even offered to take a drink order until my server came over. The place was mostly empty, only a third of the tables were occupied. I kept getting ignored.
I left after several minutes and went elsewhere. Just terrible.

Above average airport food with a nice place to sit

Don’t go here if you are in a hurry to catch your flight.
They are slow on the service side.
Not unusally slow but still slow enough that you might risk missing a plane.
It is convenient as it sits in the main terminal area as you eneter the B Concourse.
They have all the favoroites you would expect from any other Chili’s.
We had the bonless wings as a starter. They are covered with their house sauce. It’s just average and more hot than flavorful.
We also had the grilled chicken sandwich that was quite tasty and filling.
I wish they have an area where you could store your bags… after all this is an airport.
You must negotiate your way around everyone’s bags who are sitting on the floor while patrons dine.
If you are hungary and in a hurry there are many more fast good options such as California Pizza Kitchen in Terminal B.

Needed a drink ASAP. Grey Goose dirty martini $ 18. YOWZA.
Service was quick and friendly.

Very average. Not a lot of other good choices in the airport.

To say this was a let down is an understatement. Like many others I was stuck in CLT for a few hours on a layover. It’s a good thing too, because service was anything but quick or timely. If your in any sort of a hurry, move on.
I came in for breakfast hoping to get something better than the fast food selections scattered threw the airport. The food is overpriced, as comes with the territory, but I would have liked a bit bigger portions. I found myself hungry again within an hour. I’d recommend finding another eatery, but if you do stop here avoid the fruit flavored teas (especially the mango).

The menu seems smaller and a little pricier than regular Chili’s restaurants. Then again, this one is in an airport so I guess higher prices are expected. The food is OK. You would probably get more bang for your buck here than some of the other places. The service was a little slow though, especially when people have planes to catch. I felt bad for flagging someone down to get our check but we had been sitting for well over an hour before getting our check. Luckily our gate was nearby so we could book it to catch our flight if we had to. We also met an interesting guy sitting next to us here. I think if servers keep in mind that most people are waiting for flights this would make people much happier.

I often have layovers of 1.5 hours or more in Charlotte, so I stopped here the other day. I didn’t go for the food; rather, after US Airways’s maintenace issues caused me to miss my connecting flight, I stopped here for the chain’s signature El Presidente Margarita before shuttling to my assigned hotel.
The Margarita was delicious. It tasted just like one I would order in a normal Chili’s restaurant. However, when I order in a normal Chili’s, the price is 6 bucks and some change. I paid over $ 10 for the same drink here. But dammit, it was a GOOD drink.

This Chili’s Too! sure beats the one in the DFW airport (though that is not saying much). It is bigger, and they have much more variety on their menu. The one drawback – with the size of the restaurant, it is easy to get forgotten.
I went with the fajitas, which were okay for airport food. This Chili’s Too! also features cute waitresses with great Southern accents.

My guess is. If you’re eating here, then you’re just stuck in North Carolina waiting for something, or someone. Well, move on — a friend (local) — told me to go to another place, I wish I would have listened. I mean, don’t get me wrong — there was nothing bad about the food, it was just your usual greasy Chili’s fare — just with a lot smaller selection. But, judging from other friends who tried other place in the airport — they seemed a lot happier.
All in all, very generic food — made even worse by a tiny menu and all the lovely awkwardness of an airport.
