Chili’s Grill & Bar

Food is decent, but portions are small for the price. We sat in the bar so we could get happy hour food prices, only to find out that the happy hour drink prices last all day, but the food goes back to regular price at 6. (We sat down at 5:55 and they didn’t take our order soon enough to get the discount.
Since I have issues with gluten, my choices were limited. This surprises me this day in age at a chain restaurant. I ended up ordering the smoked wing appetizer. They were actually very tasty, but was a very small portion in relation to the price. My husband ordered a salad, although his portion was small also.

Ordered a side of avocado ranch dressing when we received the dressing it was sour, The waitress sent the manager over who explained to us, sometimes the dressing is made incorrect. We were not offered a credit off of our bill even though I sent my full salad back, I am a little disappointed since this is one of my favorite spots to eat quite frequently.
Very disappointed

Had lunch at noon on Sunday. Seated promptly. They were very busy at that time. We both ordered the pick 3. Only disappointment was no onion rings. Strange since they were only open for 1 hour. Food came on time and hot. Waitress was nice and courteous. For the price will be back.

It’s the typical chain of Chili’s however they have a server at lunch named Paige. If you go ask for her and tell her I sent you. She is be far the best server I have ever had and does such a great job! My co-​worker and I go here just because of her, the food isn’t anything out of the world it is good, but the service ranks this place above many others.
The lunch specials will fill you up as well! The soups are completely awesome!

K, C & I stopped by after C’s last performance in Pinocchio. We chose this location because we knew the manager and we hadn’t seen him in a while. We soon found out that he had been transferred to the location by Superstition Springs Mall. Funny thing is, that location was closer to where C’s performance was than this one in Gilbert. Oops. But since we were already there we continued on.
Our last visit to a Chili’s, about a week ago at the one in Mesa Riverview, was just passable at best. We were certainly hoping for a better all-​around experience, and we got one. We were seated right away as we arrived closer to 10pm on a Saturday night. Our host was pleasant, explained the Ziosk machine and told us our server would be with us shortly. Our server was Matthew. He was great. Matt took our drink and appetizer order and we perused the menu to decide on what else to order.
We started with the Guacamole and chips ($ 5.29). I think for the money, this is really a superior appetizer. The chips and guacamole are usually very tasty however on this occasion, the guacamole seemed old. It wasn’t the beautiful vibrant green it is normally. The flavor was fine but the appearance was a bit lacking. This app also comes with a side of salsa so those who don’t like avocado can still enjoy some chips and salsa.
Since we were informed last week at the Mesa Chili’s that they no longer had the grilled chicken breast on the kids menu, C ordered the Cheesy Burger Bites ($ 5.29). These little sliders were nicely seasoned and cooked to medium although the little buns were a bit over toasted. C ordered the corn kernels as his side and it was nice to see the ramekin filled to the top. Winner winner kid’s slider dinner.
K ordered the Soup and House Salad combo ($ 6.49). She got a nice bowl of Tortilla soup. Other than the overkill pile of tortilla strips on top, she said the soup was hot, seasoned nicely and was quite flavorful. The house salad was fresh with shredded cheese, sliced tomatoes, a couple of croutons, red onion rings and cucumber slices. No complaints from K.
I ordered the Sante Fe Chicken Salad ($ 10.19). I think this salad has changed a bit over the years but currently it’s lettuce topped with tortilla strips, grilled seasoned chicken, pico de gallo and cilantro. The chicken was not overcooked and the lettuce was fresh. Overall, not bad but certainly could use a bit more ooomph, like shredded cheese, drained black beans or even some Hatch green chili’s. It is called the «Sante Fe» after all!
Great service, so so Guacamole app, good kids meal, great soup & salad combo, average chicken salad. 4 Stars.

Understaffed, poor quality food, small portions, we didn’t stay for desert.
Took the family out to what used to be one of our favorite places, Chili’s. It’s been probably a year since we last visited. We were asked to sit in a crowded booth-​table but refused and instead took one of the many open full booths right breezy to it. Our waiter was slow to come to the table and offer us drinks. Hungry, I ordered the full fajita trio with beef, chicken and shrimp. Our food came out about 15 minutes after our order. To my complete and utter disgust, the trio featured about 2 oz of beef (maybe a two inch square sliced thin) about ¼ of the meat on a normal chicken breast, and several small shrimp. Of course it was covered with onions and green peppers to give the impression of s full plate. This looked nothing like the menu.
Our waiter kept us waiting, especially when we were ready to pay so we could get out of there. I don’t know if there is a new owner or what, but we crossed Chili’s off our rotation.

I like this location, the staff here are friendly. I can’t go out before eating the skillet chocolate chip cookie. Unbelievable !!! Definitely worth the calories.

Friday night, 530pm, don’t usually come to chilis but had a gift card. Was pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious. I had one green chili enchilada and one red beef enchilada. My husband had steak fajitas. Both our dishes came with rice and black beans. The rice was bland but the beans and our dishes were delicious. We also both had the new strawberry limeade and it was also delicious. We will definitely be back!

My review will be about the to-​go service, but every time we have gone to this location, we tell ourselves we will never come back again. We would rather drive to the Chili’s in the Superstition area even though it’s further away for better service.
Last night, I called this location to order for pick-​up. I called and was immediately placed on hold for about 6 minutes. I hung up and called again and the girl who answered took my order of honey chipotle crispers. Pretty easy order to fulfill. I get there at the estimated 15 minutes the girl told me over the phone, paid right when I walked in the door, and was told my order will be ready in a few minutes. As I was standing there waiting, I noticed there were a few different bags of food ready to be picked up. One looked like one entrée, which is all I ordered, but I thought to myself, «the girl said my order will be ready in a few minutes… So that couldn’t possibly be my order. She can’t be THAT oblivious…» About 10 minutes goes by, I see a blonde manager walk by casually without asking if I had been helped, and I see people coming and going with the food they picked up. I finally start to doubt the to-​Go girl that helped me, so I ask someone working alongside her if that bag of food is for me. She checks it and reads off my name, hands it to me without saying anything, and I am left feeling completely infuriated and shocked that my food was sitting there, READY FOR ME TO TAKE WHEN I GOT THERE, but THE COMPLETE DISORGANIZATION AND UNPROFESSIONALISM OF THE EMPLOYEES AT THE TO-​GO AREA CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO LEAVE WITH COLD FOOD. I was tempted to shove it back in there faces and ask them to make me another order that ISN’T cold, but then I would’ve been sitting there for who knows how long while my son and my husband are waiting for me in the car.
I will never go back to this Chili’s ever again. Every single employee there needs a crash course on customer service and a restaurant workplace in general. I hope someone from this location and corporate reads this.

Went to chilli’s with a friend because I had a gift card. We had the $ 35 deal and its was good for a chain restaurant. The best part of the evening was the fantastic service we had from Chantelle. She was top notch!

This Chili’s was average. My boyfriend & I just did our usual 2 for $ 20 (chicken fajitas & chicken crispers w/​chips & salsa). Pretty basic food & drink.
Service was OK. It wasn’t very busy, but our server would take a while or even forget. Every server has days like that, I know, I used to.
Pretty average.

One of my favorite places to grab a bit before a movie or get a beer and watch a game! Food is always great, staff always friendly and prices very reasonable! Joint there club and get deals every week! :-) hungry just thinking about it!

I walked in and ordered takeout at the bar. It was awesome getting takeout that sat on the bar getting cold while I was waiting AT THE BAR, and then having to pay AFTER the food (that had been sitting on the bar) was handed to me, which took a long time. I looove getting takeout and reheating it in my oven before I can eat it. Oh and while I was there someone else was handed the wrong order. That person had to come back… while the other party waited for their order to be remade. Got to witness all of this as my order was made and then sat and sat and sat.

These guys have the BEST lower calorie low fat menu ever. Everything here is pretty good, pretty obvious other than the low calorie menu. Nothing special about the ambiance, but you also know things will normally go well and everything will be as it should be. Classic chain restaurant, but they do it right. Sometimes restaurants become chains because they are good at what they do.

Sat at the bar and got terrible service. Got chips and guacamole and most of the chips were small broken pieces. The bartender never even asked if I wanted a second beer. We have been done eating and have piled up our dishes and have 2 empty beer glasses and am still waiting for our check. Did I mention we are at the bar?

Always a great experience here. I love the new bold flavors also! I think the food has gotten better and better as they continued to adjust the menu. The service was fantastic again last night. I love the team concept of the servers and how they all help each other to provide top notch service to every table. I had a stressful day and was with my 15 month old daughter and my 10 year old son. I came in ready to just sit down and get off my feet, my attitude was raw and I had a pounding headache! Then bit, bam, bedazzle! Sharp servers getting our drinks to the table, getting our order and food out fast and it was really, really good! My mood was changed immediately and I had a great evening. Really was the break I needed and these guys made it happen. Thank you very much! I needed that! ;-)

Always get great service here with exceptional food! And their margaritas are delicious. Their happy hour specials on food makes the bill not so scary when you get it!
All in all, a great place to have a girls night out or a family night.

Either Chili’s has upped their game, or I was exceptionally hungry after a long day of riding quads out on the trails. It must have been at least seven years since my last visit to a Chili’s, and my overall impression at that time was «meh». Today our defenses were down, and we were looking for a place that was somewhat quick and somewhat inexpensive; Chili’s is close to home, so after a round of showers we headed over.
With hunger levels high, we ordered the fresh tableside guacamole/​salsa and spinach artichoke dip to get started. The menu highlighted their «fresh guacamole, prepared at your table, customized by you» with a list of add-​ins you could choose from; what we got was a big platter of fresh, hot chips, a big bowl of tasty-​if-​not-​customized guac, and pretty decent salsa. We were a bit confused, but in our peckish state did not consider fussing.
Also ordered by our table of four were the Big Mouth Bites (sliders), chicken and steak fajitas, the chipotle chicken bowl, and a Pick Two combo of salmon and shrimp. The consensus was the food was well prepared, well seasoned, and generally tasty.

Worst Chilies ever. Yes… it’s true. At first I read these reviews and thought, «geez it can’t be that bad.» Then I experienced the worst chilies I had ever been to. All the waitresses seemed rushed and confused. There was a politeness, but just seemed very rushed. Then we waited 40 mins for our food. Once it came I asked for some onions… I got the box and check before I ever got the onions. No apologies from the waitress, it took calling the manager over to get an apology.
To top it off, the food made my wife sick last night.
Won’t be returning to this location.

It’s been a while and it will be a while again. The service is good but I just don’t dig the food as it is pretty mediocre at best bar food. I did have a watermelon cooler alcoholic beverage that was really tasty. Then had the queso dip and that is always pretty good. Then we had the combo appetizer platter and it tastes like everything was microwaved; the chicken crispers were soggy not crispy, the mini sliders were just ok and the potato skins were dry. We did finish with the warm cookie skillet for dessert and that was very good. Overall, if you are looking for blah bar food, chilies is ok bit really, there is better out there.
