Our waitress came by quickly and asked about drinks and if we wanted rolls. Someone had already said you have to ask for honey cinnamon butter bc they won't bring it out. They brought 3 rolls and these were the best rolls I've ever had. Like so good. She asked if we wanted more but we declined even though we could have eaten a few more! We got a fried chicken salad and the western burger with fries. No steak ik we opted for something else to try first. The food came out at a good temp. Everything was pretty decent but just nothing fancy. Pretty ordinary and just ok. I did really enjoy the freshly made strawberry and lime mixed margarita. It was really great.

There's regular breakfast and lunch items that you'd expect at a diner but then there's Chinese and Korean menu items as well. I had the Korean short ribs and pork fried rice. The rice was greasier than expected and not all that flavorful. The short ribs were a little tough but very tasty. Hash browns are also good and crispy. Overall I'd consider going again.

The French toast could definitely use more cinnamon, and the service was okay. On my second visit, I ordered French toast, hot wings, and fries. Unfortunately, my fries never came. Our server was also incredibly rude to the other people at my table and was generally inattentive throughout the meal. We ended up speaking to a manager about the situation, but I'm not sure if anything was done to address it. The restaurant could also use a thorough cleaning. Overall, my experiences have been mixed, but the poor service during my second visit makes me hesitant to return.

But with Chili's you still know what to expect! It works, and you're glad to have one in your community because you can always count on them to come through especially when guests arrive. They continue to have consistent service. A good team! The sitting is comfortable. Lighting is dim, not to bright! They have music on the screen, especially in the bar area! It's always entertaining. Sometimes at Chili's you actually get a great meal!!! Always hopeful! Like Wednesday, we went after work and had a mushroom burgers, and they were actually delicious! The pasta dish is usually good too. Like the the Mac & Cheese on the Kid menus, it is perfect! Though it's a Kraft like Mac, it's reliable, and the kids like it and it comes with twos sides, and served with a slush type of drink. - Chili's is most appreciated. -

I showed him the Popeyes menu that was listed on Leesville. It was $6.29 each. He told me he couldn't honor the price. so I left without chicken. After I got home is when I got upset. I looked on Popeyes app and I could have gotten 3 pieces for $5. If the clerk had told me another option for 4 pieces for close to $10 I would have taken the $5 three pieces special.

In my opinion this is gem of a BBQ spot. Brisket was very tender and flavorful. Turkey was moist and not overcooked. Pulled pork was good as well. The Mac and Cheese was spicy which is different but absolutely incredible. The fountain drink was fresh and on point. Friendly staff and clean dining area. You know it's a good BBQ joint when you don't even need the sauce. Good Job! I will definitely be back!!! read more

My husband and i went the first time and i couldn't believe how tasty the food was. I had voodoo fries, 2 meat combo ( brisket and ribs) with 2 sides ( fried okra and coleslaw). The ribs fall off the bone and the brisket was just like butter. The staff is very friendly. This is going to be my favorite place for BBQ :) read more

I had my doubts but this was solid BBQ especially considering most of the clients are in the military. I am not in the military since being a no limit soldier back in the 90s doesn't count, but yet, I found myself here. This is a order at the counter, they make your plate, you pay, sit, and eat. Easy peasy. I opted for their two meat plate with brisket, sausage, mac n cheese, and green beans. Was this the best bbq I have ever had? No. Was this the worst bbq I ever had? Absolutely not.
