Chili's

My wife and I went out in the middle of a snow storm for the fajitas & awesome margaritas, however due to the crappy attitude of the bartender Ryan we opted to go elsewhere. We entered in through the to go side of the bar since it was snowing hard and hadn't been cleaned up yet. Since there was no host(es) we sat ourselves at an empty table in the bar, only to be told by ryan that we had to get up and go to the front door to be seated by a host. Oh yeah BTW they didn't even have one assigned to the door. Sorry but in the middle of a snow storm I didn't see much of a crowd knocking the front door down for food or drinks, so what was the problem with us sitting where we were. After Ryan had made a scene in front of the other 6 guest and the wait staff,we opted to go down the street to Texas Roadhouse. Which  was a great all around alternative, service, food, & host was awesome. I will give Jamie (manager) credit though she did come out after I brought this to her attention, and made effort to keep us there, after the embarrassment he caused I think not. I hope she rectified the issue with the bartender that was obviously not able to properly handle his section. Ryan if u can't handle the job maybe should try a less crowded atmosphere.. Say someplace that has 4 guest !!! Looks like we will be driving to Hobart next time we want chili's.

One Chili's is just like any other, right?  Nope!  

- We ordered the bottomless tostada chips which my husband and son love.  The chips were fresh and warm - so good... and the salsa is spicy enough for great flavor but not so spicy my son can't enjoy it.

- I ordered off the fresh pairings menu... $9.99 - half order of Southwestern eggrolls (yum) and a Santa Fe Chicken wrap.  I asked for no cheese plus onions and cilantro and it came back to me perfectly.

- Hubby ordered the Cajun pasta which usually comes with chicken but he asked for shrimp.  The pasta is a bit cheesy for my taste but he loved it and the shrimp was delicious!!

- My son ordered the chicken crispers off the kid's menu with corn kernels and he ate it all... and had some of my wrap which he said he's gonna order next time.  Funny kid...

So the food was fabulous but more than that our waiter was excellent.  Mike made sure our drinks never went dry.  He was there when we needed him and not when we didn't - just perfect.  I had absolutely no problems leaving a 30% tip.  He earned it and the next time we go I'll be asking to be seated in his section.

This is by far the best Chili's I've ever been to!

i love Chili's.  I love the southwestern eggrolls and  have to get them every time I go there.  I wish they were on the new 3 for $20 menu ( 2 people get an appetizer, 2 meals and dessert for $20).  I love their fajitas.  That is what I go there for.  I have ordered other stuff, like their country fried steak, too many carbs in the meal.  Instead of corn they should put broccoli on the side or something or replace the garlic bread w/something else.
