Chili's

Haven't been to a Chili's in a while.  My friends and I always have a great time.  

Never been to this location, but I'd say hands down, best service for a Chili's in Tucson!  The server was very friendly and attentive, especially since it was during the lunch time rush.  We got our drinks right away and shortly thereafter got our food, probably 15-20 minutes in between.  Not too bad!  

At Chili's the prices are always reasonable, especially for the amount of food you get.  I ordered off the lunch menu...They got $6, $7, & $8 lunch combos that come with an entree and a soup or salad.  I went with the Southwestern Mac N Cheese with the Spicy Southwest Chicken & Sausage Soup.  Ya, I kept it with the SW theme, plus the waitress said it's a bit spicy...I like spicy!  It went very well with my margarita!  =)

I was surprised that the mac n cheese was very tasty!  Lots of chicken and very cheesy with a little southern spicy kick to it!  Good enough that my kids would've loved it too!  The soup was as good as the waitress said it would be...Chicken, sausage & white beans with some veggies in a flavorful garlic chicken broth. Topped with crispy tortilla strips! MMmm!

All in all this was one of the better Chili's experiences I've had.  Didn't have to wait long at all, and no need to flag down servers!  Service was kind and quick!  I like this location a lot.

My wife and I very rarely go out to eat, but we decided  to celebrate a late mothers day, we would go out  and get some "cheap drinks and appetizers" after having a steak dinner at home. Unfortunately we made the mistake of going here instead of one of the finer establishments in the area. In the end we ordered 2 appetizers and 3 drinks. First to come out were our appetizers, we ordered the Texas cheese fries and the southwestern egg rolls. The egg rolls were meh. They were good, but nothing I would buy again, they tended to be a little greasy. the cheese fries were probably the best thing we had from here, but its kinda hard to mess those up!

then... came the drinks. the first to come out was the Tropical Sunrise Margarita for my wife, and if all the drinks were mixed this perfectly,  we would not have had any problem. it was sweet but not too sweet, presented well, and left us wanting more. alas, the  next drinks we got did not meet this par. i ordered a long island iced tea, and I have to say that is was probably the worst  I ever had. it was extremely strong, and it was a labor even just to sip it down, and I like my drinks strong! We then thought we would have better luck with another margarita, so we ordered the Sparkling Pomegranate Margarita,  but again when it was received, it was so strong we could not even taste any of the pomegranate. we grudgingly choked it down.

As for the service, I had worse service, but I've also definitely had much better service. The servers asked if everything was okay about 3 different occasions,  but  even a refill of water took upwards of 5-10 minutes to be received.

Then the kicker... the bill. when we received it I was shocked to see we we charged nearly 9 dollars per drink!  our " cheap night of drinks and appetizers" cost us over 50 dollars!  for that we could have had a nice meal nearly anywhere else!  With  the restaurant market in northwest Tucson as crowded as it is, this is one place that will not be getting a 2nd chance.

It's been awhile since I've been to a chain restaurant and I really don't expect much, but I was really surprised with the service. Good job!
The food is as good as it gets here but I wasn't disappointed one bit.
Beer was up to temp so all is well;)
Cheers!
