Chili's Grill & Bar

Chili's in Dover is very loud! Its always packed.  That being said, We love the food! the fajitas are wonderful and they are a great bargain on Mondays.  The drinks are very good and cheap!  fun place to watch a game.

Shayna is the best waitress on the seacoast!

I am not sure why everyone is giving this Chili's such awful reviews... This is our family's standby choice for a quick dinner. We absolutely love the $35 meal deal (which includes an app, two entrees, two margaritas and a dessert) and have been hard-pressed to find such value at any other local restaurants, chains or otherwise. The wait staff here is extremely competent and friendly and they are always welcoming to us and our daughter. The food is normally quite good and served hot. We have only had them mess up our order once and it was quickly remedied. We enjoy going here and visit at least once a month!

Went here the other day for the first time in years.  I had just seen that they had a "soup, salad, sticks" deal, similar to other chain restaurants, consisting of chips/salsa, soup and salad.  I was rather excited to try it.

I shouldn't have been.  The salad was actually quite good, in a basic way; thus, I have no complaints on that end.  The chips were decent, not great, but pleasant.  The salsa was rather boring and uninspired.  One can find better almost anywhere.
The soups just sucked.  I tried the chili (which they charged more for), expecting an average offering.  Instead I got a lukewarm, under-spiced mess, full of hard clots of meat.  If you have ever over-fried a burger, and the outer char turned into a hard, plastic-like coating, just imagine that surrounding every piece of meat in the chili.  It was an effort to chew through it, and the dry meat underneath.

The chicken enchilada soup had the exact opposite problem.  All the meat in it was so fatty, and gelatinous that I gagged with every bite; which, as one might imagine, took away from the otherwise decent broth.   There was not one enjoyable bite in either soup.

Coupled with my girlfriend's expensive dinner salad, which was half the size as when I used to order them here, and also rather boring, and a pattern emerges.  Quality has taken a few steps down, and this is no longer the "slightly trashy" chain experience I once occasionally indulged in,  it's just trashy.  I would add, the service was fine.
