Had to "settle" for brisket since the shop was out of pulled rib meat. The brisket is "sliced," but…read morethat doesn't do it justice; they're actually inch-thick slabs. Juicy and moist, the meat goes really well with the jalapeno cheese bun and a layer of pepperjack cheese. Some pickles would be terrific. Service is somewhat diffident; I asked the cashier for recommendations, and she looked back at me blankly.

i had eaten here for lunch one day while passing through Ruston, but when I took my wife with me to…read moreeat on our way to Shreveport we were very disappointed. The service was good, seating was fine, and the BBQ meats were also OK. The reason for my low score is the potato salad and baked beans were not home made and tasted like they just came out of a can bought at Walmart. The prices were also too high for the quality of the food. Unfortunately, we will not be returning here.

My husband picked up the Chicken Potpie for a gathering of 6 adults…read more The instructions were not specific on how to cook it from frozen versus thawed and since he purchased it frozen, he assumed the directions were for it being frozen. Well, it was STILL frozen when he took it out of the oven and the rest of the meal was ready. So, that was disappointing! But not as disappointing as the taste of the Chicken Potpie. I have never purchased this meal at the restaurant, so I had know what I was getting. It is basically canned cream of chicken soup (or taste like it) over a bag of frozen vegetables with a little bit of dry, chewy chunks of chicken thrown in and topped with cooked Grand biscuits, broken up pieces and crumbs. It was very unappealing to look at and even worse to eat. For that price I expected much more quality and quantity. Never again!

Fantastic spot! We were short on time and chose this place because it was nearby -- and we're so…read moreglad we did. We were seated immediately, and the staff couldn't have been more friendly and polite. We started with the chips and cheese with chicken. I was expecting nachos, so I had a little "aha" moment when it arrived -- just like the menu said, it was chips with a cup of cheesy dip, and it was delicious. For my meal, I had the half rack of ribs with a side salad and baked beans. The salad didn't look particularly exciting, but it was fresh and flavorful. The baked beans were possibly the best I've ever had, and the ribs were tender and tasty. I only wish we hadn't been in such a rush -- I would have loved to savor it all a bit more. We're already planning to come back before we leave Ruston!

To the point where the cook in the window asked if she, the front food line employee, took my order- and she said "i already taken their order" then some people walk inside and she turns to the counter, points to the people behind me and my boyfriend and says "i can take the next person's order" That is when i looked at her and said , "that is us, we are next" and she looks at me and says "oh yall are next" and i gave her my order and i walked away. I don't understand what was so hard about asking me if anyone had taken care of us and/or if anyone took our order as we stand at the front counter right in front of the register patiently waiting for our order to be taken. I think her name is Dasha maybe-not quite sure. Cashier's name was Issabella. I've worked various places in the food industry and that just seemed unprofessional. She had no problem taking anyone else order after me. Took her 13 mins between my best friend's order being taken to mine getting taken. Speedy service..? mm that needs work.

I had the lasagna and my coworker had the lobster ravioli. Both of these items were really good. The salad was really good. Unfortunately, the minestrone soup was not the best.

The young lady that helped us was very nice and answered all of our questions and the actual style and layout of the restaurant is very rustic, very quaint, very modern, but friendly and family oriented.

The meal itself was mediocre at best. The biscuits were my favorite but the others eating would not agree. They said the biscuits were raw, but I like a biscuit doughy.

The cookies were okay, but I am not a sweets kind of person. It was a bit overstaffed with three workers just talking about their day. Four workers were actually working. Fast

And before anyone pulls a hamstring jumping to conclusions, it was a Saturday early afternoon (3:45pm) and there are a total of 3 tables this guy was waiting. In between incompetence, he passed time living his best life chatting up the cook staff. And that was apparent when I ordered a rare steak and got what appeared to be microwave-nuked lunchable meat. Helen Keller's imaginary friend got more attention than our table did. The empty plates and unfilled drinks were forming the Island of Forgotten Dishes on our table. Again, before a fleet of single mom waitresses start grabbing picket signs and forming a lynch mob, I'm not beating the kid up for being new. I'm criticizing his utter lack of effort and how winter in Game of Thrones came sooner than anything our table ordered. And the fact he had the audacity to argue about what someone at the table ordered. This place needs a serious training stand down. What are the odds the waitstaff and the cook staff are joining forces to create a Mediocre Mid-Meal Mastermind Super Villain? They won. Clearly the fault of the management for allowing this type of lackluster service. Then again, not surprising with today's humanity. And just so ambience doesn't feel left out - the half gallon of spilled sweat tea that had a broom propped over it was a nice touch. Do better, Ruston Chili's.
