Chili's Grill & Bar

The family went to this location this past week end. There is easy parking almost at the front door. There was no wait time and we were seated immediately. The waiter was excellent from start to finish. The menu at Chili's is rather large with lots of items. Some of us ordered from the 2 for $20 dinner menu where you get a selection for a starter ( we chose the guacamole corn dip) and chips and ordered a steak from the menu. We also received the chips and dip since two others in the party ordered from the 2 for $0 menu. Other had chicken strips, chicken breast and fajitas. The fajitas were cooked to perfection and the amenities that came with the fajitas were just right. Everyone agreed that the meal was excellent and the prices too were excellent.

After not going to Chili's in a long time, because, frankly, the food at this location had not been very good the last few times, we decided to give it another shot.
We figured, after all the menu changes and remodeling, maybe they take more care in preparing the food too.

Fortunately, that was the case, because the food was BY FAR better this time than on any of our last visits.
The salsa was exactly how we liked it, not watered down and tasteless like the last few times.
The Southwestern Eggrolls were nice and crispy and flavorful, combined with the dip, not fried to dry ickines.
Finally, my Bacon ranch quesadillas with chicken were nicely done, not dry, and quite a nice portion at that.

And not to forget, our server Leslie, was very nice, attentive and made sure our kids' food came out quickly!

So, nice job with the overhaul and keep it up Chili's and we will keep coming back!

I was smacked in the face by the stench of what smelled like body odor as soon as I walked in the door. Service was very poor, although to be fair, the restaurant was a little busy. I've been a waiter before, though, and being busy is no excuse to leave your guests waiting for 10 minutes before you even greet them. It took forever to get a beer (even though we were sitting at the bar) and to have our food order taken.

The food was what you would expect from a Chili's - nothing out of the ordinary. I ordered the Triple Dipper for a meal, as I usually take home whatever I can't finish. The bartender we had, though, took my plate and tossed it in a bus tub as I was asking for a to-go box. No apology or anything.

Chances are that I'll come back, because my wife and I happen to really like Chili's in general. But with all the different places to eat in the area, I don't think we'll be eating here as often as we did when we lived in Austin.
