You know those days when you're working your butt off at the gym, totally unmotivated, on the dang eliptical pushing 3 miles uphill for 40 minutes and a Chili's commercial comes on the dang gym tv? Well yeah..happens to us all and those advertising wizards know just how to lure you in! So I had one such night where my workout buddy and I ended up at this Happy Hour Oasis. I call it this because of their awwwseome daily happy hour deals! Two full orders of extremely naughty appetizers deep fried cheesy and spicy yumminess washed down with two rather well made ice cold house margaritas....for $16! For two people! Yeah its a chain, yeah its totally unhealthy, yeah I'll be spending extra time making it up at the gym. But to quote the man, "ol' Jack always says...what the hell". ;o) read more

Chili's - Happy HourS Delights....nom nom! - American Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Stopped by to pick up a Togo order. I ordered the Classic Ribeye - Medium Rare. I get home to find out that I did not receive what I ordered. Instead I get a Sirlion cooked to Medium/Medium Well. Like Leo Getz always says....they F you in the drive thru. I'm too hungry to drive back and wait for them to fix my order. Spoke with a Manager after I ate my dinner to let him know about the messed up order. He apologized and told me he would be mailing me a couple of Chili's Be Our Guest cards. It's been over a week and no cards. I guess if Management doesn't care about service, why should the rest of the staff...... read more

It's truly a different vibe, from one bar tender to the next at this chili's . The guy yesterday was ok but wasn't as efficient as the other. I think Mike was the guy yesterday. The difference is like night and day. We placed our order for two Santa fe burgers, 30 minutes later or burgers came out burnt to a crisp I felt bad returning them and they went ahead and ate some of it I left 90 % of it. I should of complained but felt awkward as it's full of regular drinkers. The other guy even packed our meal gave us chips and salsa to go and was very attentive to our needs. Mike NOT SO MUCH !!! He was focused on FRIENDS AND CHIT CHATTING WITH THEM !!! Instead of the customers. read more

Okay, I know this is a chain restaurant, but what can I say? When you commute a 100+ miles to work and back everyday, the last thing you want to do is jump in the car and navigate to where all the local restaurants are. This location is conveniently located a stones throw away from my house. It does get busy at times, but the wait is never longer than 15 minutes from my experience. I am a member of their "rewards" club, so I get savings that way, as well. I have had touch-and-go wait staff, with sometimes getting awesome service and other times receiving poor, inattentive waiter/ress. So, I took away one-star due to the inconsistent service. They need to train their wait staff how to take care of multiple tables. The food, though. It is consistently good, I have actually been here many, many times but forget to check-in or feel guilty for not checking into a local restaurant, like my many yelper friends. Also, another thing to keep in mind is that many of the local restaurants cater to New Mexican flavors and I cannot handle spice at all. So, if a bunch of food is spicy on a menu, I won't be coming. Anyway, back to the food, it is delicious, and what can I say? They've got their cooking down to a T. T is for terrific, by the way. I love their table-side guacamole (my favorite appetizer), but also a big fan of their southwest egg rolls. All of their burgers and fries are good. Their steaks and ribs are also very flavorful, meaty, and delicious. I recently went to a party that was catered by this Chili's and it was spectacular. I also get their Quesadilla Explosion Salad, which is a favorite - the Santa Fe salad is too spicy for me. So overall, great, dependable restaurant, who rewards repeat customers by offering a pretty good reward plan. Chili's is a restaurant staple in our family. read more

Hmm, it's so hard to write a review on this Chili's location on Paseo & Wyoming. One visit will be great, enjoyable and awesome food and the next visit is straight out of an episode of What would you do? This is how it went down; Our friends call to tell us to meet them at Chili's for dinner. This is a last minute invite as we had just returned home from work SO, we do a quick change and head over. Upon arrival, to our surprise, our friends had already received their food. No worries, we order our food and sit back for some stimulating conversation while we wait and they dig in. As our food arrives our friends are finishing their dinner. I ordered the fajitas. Pretty tasty. Nothing special. My husband orders the ribs and they come out stone cold. Not even lukewarm. He calls over our waiter, Michael S. Michael apologizes and says he'll take care of it. The manager, Mark Merinar appears at our table. We let Mark Merinar know about the cold ribs. Mark Merinar says he'll do a re-fire for the ribs and walks away. Michael S appears right behind him, takes my husbands plate and reappears 30 seconds to 1 minute later with a piping hot plate of freshly microwaved ribs. Mark Merinar makes another appearance to inquire about the heat of the food. Fine. Whatever. The check appears on the "Zoosk?" machine. Whatever the contraption is on the table that makes checking out more convenient. As it happens, tour buddies ordered from the 2 for $20 menu as did we. Throw in a couple of margaritas and a beer and it's a party! Great deal for a great amount of food at a reasonable cost. Michael Merinar appears once more and announces that he is going to "comp" the cold ribs for the inconvenience. So 2 for $20 x 2 plus drinks is approximately $53. Our new bill after the "comp" is...........$53? ( see photo) Not only did they NOT comp the ribs, they charged us twice for ribs and removed one. My husband calls over Mark Merinar once more to question his word on what he said he would do and do you want to know what he said? "I didn't know how long you had the ribs sitting at your table before complaining that they were cold." What the? Where's John Quinones? I'm really tired of this location. You know, an Applebee's opened up just down the road. read more

2/5 for crappy employees working there. When I walk in and am going to spend my money I expect acknowledgment! I demand it. There's a male server who just stared at me like an idiot. You'd think he'd be eager to sit me if he wanted a tip! Wrong. I had to complain no one was seating me. The actual server did a good job. read more

Truly disappointed! Ordered a Santa Fe Chicken Salad for take out and was appalled when I got home and opened the container. The greens were getting brown, the spinach was actually wet and wilted. There was water in the bottom of the dish. Avocado slices were brown and partly smashed. I do believe this salad was not made fresh and looked as though someone dropped it and then bagged it. I have been a frequent customer but recently the quality of the take out food has been poor. Will have to find another restaurant I guess. read more

I work as a server and I came into this chillis where they use tablets to serve the tables . There were a lot and I mean a lot of open tables and they were telling us along with many others 30 plus minutes . To say your understaffed is no excuse when your using tablets which makes your job really easy ! The host was very unenthusiastic and coworkers were just standing at the host stand talking . read more

Chili's tends to be the same no matter where you go. This one is the same. Food and service is good but nothing that stands out. When they changed to their little machines on the table the service went down a little. read more

They had really great service and always came to make sure I was okay. They always made sure my glass was full and kept the chips and salsa coming. read more

We stop in here for dinner about once a month, we enjoy sitting in the bar area because the service is very good in there. We stopped in tonight for a quick meal, it was good. I had the 6 ounce sirloin with grilled avocado, garlic tomatoes and the fresco salad. My steak was cooked perfectly. Hubby had the usual quesadilla explosion salad. I want to say thank you to our server for putting the Women's world cup on tv for us...that was very nice. Go USA beat Germany. read more

The wife (aka Vicki S) and I stopped in before heading to do some hunting gear shopping. Place was PACKED but service was great. Ordered some drinks and an appetizer and they all came out in lightning time - drinks were cold and apps were hot do no complaints here! Try this Chili's out - it is one of the better ones I have been to. read more

I placed an order for pickup, we ordered w burgers. One burger was delicious but missing half the bun and the lettuce and tomato.. the other burger was raw in the center.. this used to be the burger go to spot. Disappointed. read more

We waited at least 3minutes before the bartender even showed up. He kept disappearing for 3-4minutes at a time. We both ordered the sunrise burger. Both burgers were undercooked. His egg was perfect and my egg was hard but it did have a little uncooked white...go figure. If I were to go back I would rethink the bar area! Very disappointed read more

A group of four of us went to Chili's last night for dinner. We had to wait to be seated as there was no one at the hostess stand. Drink order was taken fairly quickly but had to wait to actually get them. Ordered the 2 for $25 meals. Had to wait over 20 minutes for salads. Meals were Chili's, they were OK. Service was extremely slow. I can get being short-staffed but you have to say something or I think you are just blowing us off. read more

I'm currently on a very strict meal plan but desperate for a change went for a quick date night and they have a meal perfect for me. They were very accommodating and even brought me a side of cucumbers rather than a salad. Staff is generally friendly, prompt but depends when you go. read more

Among the Chili's I've been to, this one was not quite up to par. I will say the salmon cut I ordered was cooked spot-on, and so were the steak cuts in the tacos. The person on meat station was doing an excellent job. Also, they only offer one of the dual menus, so don't expect to be able to order Chili's sandwiches, etc. from the chain's full repertoire. Otherwise, there was some disappointment. There was a long wait, both to be seated and to be served after ordering - perhaps they were understaffed tonight? We had to wait for a table to be cleared. The menus were wet in between the pages. What saved it from a 1 or 2-star rating was that meat cook, and also the manager, who noticed my daughter had not eaten much of her meal, was very outgoing and concerned, comped us for it, and gave my daughter an excellent cut of chicken in recompense. Those two people brought my rating to three stars. That being said, the broccoli florets were dried out a bit, and while still edible were clearly not fresh. The rice was cooked to the right texture but the flavorings were unevenly distributed, so mouthful of "hmmm.. nice" and mouthful of "whoa...." and whoever was peppering dishes back there was not paying attention to quantity or evenness of distribution because there was a mouthful of bland, then pepper central going off. I would suggest that if you feel like Chili's if you don't want to drive far go ahead and try this one because I might just have caught them on a difficult day, but be ready to voice concerns immediately and don't accept stale broccoli or imbalanced spicing and mixing. I think they need more dishes going back, in that kitchen, to get the garnish and veg stations up to where they should be. read more

I love Chili's, but this location is so bad. Very poor service to the point of being rude. Managers are weak and afraid of the waitstaff so the waitstaff can do whatever they want. Had a bartender actually tell my party he was busy and we would have to wait. Took 19 minutes to get our drinks at which point he rudely said no one else seems to mind waiting. Go to Chili's, just do not go to this Chili's. read more

Not a great take out experience tonight. Ribeye Steak ordered medium rare was rare inside. Broccoli tasted awful like it had sat in water all day and salad was not very fresh, looked like they were boxed up yesterday. Disappointed read more

Food was awful. I had the fajitas and it was horrible over cooked and under flavored. Tried to add salsa to give it some kind of taste and it just took it in the wrong direction. I will say that service was good. Bartender was prompt and followed up several times and kept my drink filled. He is what saved a one star. You come to Chilis and don't expect much but you know, maybe we should. From the appearance and taste of the food it's obvious there is a lack of dedication. read more

Did an order for pick up.. they left out the corn on the cob on 2 of the meals and fries on the other.. when I called I was hung up on the first time. the second time the lady(Laura) said " I not sure what you want me to do about it" Not even an APOOGETIC tone in her voice just that I was annoying her.. worst customer service ever!!! read more

Great meal this evening; mango-chile tilapia with broccoli and rice. Very tasty! Friendly staff and excellent service. We'll be back!

This place sucked!!!! We sat in the bar area. The tables were all dirty. We ordered our drinks, our server walked away then went and talked with his friends that were there drinking and took more then 5 min before he went to go get our drinks. He then took another 5-10 min to bring our drinks back to us! The food was edible nothing great. We ordered one more drink before we left. That took for ever!!! Then finally he came back with just my husbands drink. He said that they didn't turn on the frozen margarita machine so I would have to wait at least 10 min before I could have my drink. So I just ordered something else and we left. Never going back there again! I have been to several different chilis and I have never had this happen to me. This place sucks! read more

It's a chain restaurant. Similar menu, food and layout. Service is good at this location. I like the new menu items such as the dry rub ribs and street corn on the cob. If you haven't been to a Chili's in awhile, try it out. They have new items you may like. read more

Chili's has been around for quite a long time and their menu has gone through some interesting changes over the years, but it always has long time favorites as well. This particular Chili's was moderately busy and we were seated as close to the kitchen and dishwasher as you could be, but hey, it happens sometimes and they really weren't that noisy after all. The wait staff were very friendly and the manager checked on us during the visit, which always earns points in my book. Our waitress forgot to place our appetizer order and after it had been long enough, I mentioned this to her and she quickly apologized and made sure that we received it promptly and knocked it off of our bill. She apologized a couple more times before the end of our visit while attending to us as often as we required. It really was good service, and the food was spot on what you would expect with full stomachs all around. I do find the spontaneous "Happy Birthday" fanfare erupting during our meal annoying (and yeah I know that just comes with the territory) but I digress. This particular location across the highway from the balloon fields has the quality of service and professionalism you would want at any restaurant establishment. Thanks Chili's! read more

Chili's - American Near Me - Albuquerque, New Mexico

Typical Chili's. the service is generally above average. The fajitas are always tasty. We always enjoy the chips and salsa.

Well I was disappointed with my meal. I had the build your own southwest plate or whatever you call it. The tostada and the taco were both soggy from the beans. Although my food did not take long to come out it looked like it had been under the warmers for awhile. It was pretty yucky. read more

Go to this particular Chili's all the time. Always have great service and great food!

Manager didn't really give us a choice but to sign up for rewards program and the waitress seemed "out of it" the food is always great at chilies but the service was the major problem at this chillies. And didn't get a refill for like half an hour! read more

My fajitas were lukewarm at most. Not sure if this was the kitchen or the server taking forever but the veggies were extremely bland regardless. Manager was rude when seating us. Got Coke when i asked for diet after waiting 10 minutes to be greeted. Will not be back read more

I visited about 7 pm On aWednesday and I had placed my order online two hours in advance scheduling my pick up for 7:10. I ordered the bacon burger and fries and it was delicious cooked exactly as I had ordered medium well. For the quality of the food it was reasonably priced at $10 for a soda and the food. The girl working the Togo check out was quick very friendly and funny. The restaurant was very clean and well kept. read more

It's been a VERY long time since we have eaten at Chili's- due to various hostesses insisting to seat us near the restroom every time we go to eat. We decided to give it another try. It was awful. We were a table of 3, and there were only 4 other tables in the entire restaurant. Service was extremely slow, and our drinks that were ordered were not the drinks that were delivered. Our appetizer was delivered with our entrees, and our food was dry and looked as if it was hanging out under the heat lamp for too long. My husband, who always finishes all the food on his plate, left half of his Chicken Ranch Sandwich. We were really looking forward to their Chocolate Molten Lava Cake, but didn't want to wait longer to ask the waitress if we could order one. I had to ask the manager for our ticket, since our waitress stopped serving us. We're done with Chili's and have vowed to eat local as much as possible. read more

Terrible service. I placed an order over an hour in advance over the phone and the lady on the phone was acting terribly rude!!! She kept smarting off to me! Saying that I need to familiarize myself with their menu more and many more rude things. And I was VERY VERY CLEAR that I was picking it up today and they put in the order for tomorrow! I am very unhappy with the service and the food was terrible too. read more

they have the most nastly tasting chili faty and gross. you cant have bad chili if youre name is chili's. they shopuld re-name themself " baby backs" read more

Unimpressive. Waited 40+ minutes with the restaurant at about 60% capacity for a fairly straightforward order; steak, ancho salmon, quesadilla, & kids pizza. Food looked/tasted as though it had been sitting under heating lamps for 20 mins. No plans to return to this location. read more

Came once before and they messed up our entire order. It took them 45 mins to fix. Did not leave too unhappy so didn't leave a bad review. Came back 3 weeks later, server was pushing us to order before we where even seated. Not only that but her attitude was poor and degrading. It was a horrible experience form the start so after receiving out menus we decided to leave and go to the local Applebee's. Where the service and food was hands down 100% better. Our server was rude and not considerate of our situation. The manager however was not rude but also not helpful. In my opinion go to Applebee's read more

Service was great. Our server was O'Brian. He kept our drink filled and took good care of us. The food was alright.. The mac n cheese was cold and the salad had way to much vinegar on it. The steak wasn't cook as we wanted it. Fired pickles were delicious! read more

Love Chili's. Recently used them to help cater a party. Food was very good and made my life so much easier. I was able to enjoy the party.

Just had the most outstanding customer service experience at this location. The waitress was attentive and prompt. When our margarita flatbread took longer than normal she notified a manager and let us know they were on top of it and would have it out ASAP. The manager then came and brought us chips to snack on while he waited. Did I mention that they also gave us the flatbread free of charge. Even the cook came out to make sure it tasted great after we received it. This is customer service. And on top of it the food was delicious. The team they have is amazing and attentive and really striving to care about their customers. We didn't mind the extra wait at all, but they went above and beyond once they realized the food was going to be delayed. We will be back to this location again in the future! read more

Horrible service. Long wait! No one helped us for 20 mins. Then we waited over an hour for our food. The waitress said it was a free for all they were short on staff. I don't think that this is my problem. I was shocked chili's is really good usually but this service was horrible. read more
