Wifey and I haven't been to a Chili's in a number of years. Since we were in Carbondale, and being it was closeby, we decided to go there to eat. The ambience is family oriented, clean, pleasant. Our server was a polite young man, very attentive to our needs. Wife had the Santa Fe salad with chicken; I got the Surf and Turf with a 10 oz Sirloin, grilled shrimp, loaded mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli. Both meals were well prepared and flavorful. For dessert, we had the Molten Chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream topped with a chocolate shell......scrumptious. Only drawback was the price of the meal itself: YIKES! Way more expensive than I remember. Still, every once in a while, it's worth it to splurge on a good meal experience. Very recommended restaurant.

Expired 6 days!

Always LOVE eating here with no issues... We ordered lunch for the 3 of us for Cargo.. Very disappointed with my carnita Fajitas :-( The meat was so dry it was hard to eat. Tried putting cheese on it... soggy.... Tried Pico..... it had a wang to it. Looked at the tag and showed it expired Oct 1......6 DAYS EARLIER!!!

Big Mouth Crispy Chicken Sandwich

I wanted a Crispy chicken sandwich with avocado Swiss cheese and bacon. I tried to order the grilled sandwich with a crispy piece of chicken but she said they couldn't do that. So she charged me for them to be added to the crispy chicken but left off the cheese lettuce and tomato. As you can see by the picture they really knocked themselves out with the avocado. The bacon was ok and the sandwich was tasty but it didn't have lettuce, tomato or cheese. The lack of avocado is what floored me when I looked to see what was inside. I said something to the waitress she said she would tell the manager. He came over and said sorry but offered nothing. Outrageous prices, didn't even offer more avocado!

Visited Sept 30, 2017 8 pm Wait time was over 30 minutes. They take your name and cell to text you when your table is ready. They also sent a text that had a link to show you where your place in line was.. however the link didn't work and when I brought this to the attention of staff, the girls response was that she was unaware it even sent a text regarding it. She manually told me how much longer but i think she was missing my point that the LINK DID NOT WORK! Regardless we were seated just a few minutes later. Service seemed a tad on the slowly side, but it was busy. Our waitress (blonde female with glasses) was friendly. Took our drink order. Came back with drinks and took our food order. My husband and I shared the steak and shrimp combo fajitas. Plenty for us to share. We added on the white queso and salsa for $1 (queso was luke warm at best and it was a tiny tiny cup- maybe 1-2 oz?) Sides were great- quocomole, sour cream, shredded cheese, side of beans and rice. The steak was a little under done quick made it chewy. And shrimp was smaller than what's pictured on menu, but it was good. Served with a bunch of floor tortillas. Overall 4 outta 5! Kids shared a quesadilla with a bunch of stuff inside and they had no complaints. I ordered a hot tea and wish I had a small teapot with now hot water rather than have to wait to get a refill. However when the waitress came around again she brought me a whole new cup of got water with lemon. I appreciate them giving me two tee bags. Parking is ample! The bathrooms were clean. For $1.99 you can set your kids up with unlimited games on the electronic menus. You can also view the menu (bar menu said "COMING SOON",order food [however I like the human interaction and could not see a reason i would choose to use this service] pay your bill, add a top [with a sliding scale tip calculator] and print your receipt [except ours was broken ]). This place gets packed but turnover seems to be pretty quick. So unless you are starving I say the wait is worth it. Would come back.

Our server was very friendly, funny and helpful. The holiday margaritas were good but it was very hot in there and the sun was in our eyes so they need to fix the broken window shade

Great place to eat. I recommend checking in and then shop while you wait. Unlimited chips and salsa is the best.

Atmosphere and friendliness abound!…read more While in town visiting, TRES HOMBRES was on my list, escorted by a newly found friend, we made our way to dance the night away while the Ventures rocked out to anything from 72' backward....can I say, what an evening! As the "new girl in town" I was blessed with the giant sombrero and danced my castanets off all night long....service good, music, excellent, friends...priceless...and to think I just got into town a few days before, as I've stated prior in my reviews, there are no strangers in Carbondale. To be honest, it was as if I had left my "vacation" and was actually "home." That's how the people I met and this flavor of Carbondale left it's taste in my mouth....absolutely Unbelievable and Memorable! No wonder I met so many people from the Chicago area, they all migrated to the happening spot of Carbondale. My thanks go out to all those that made my journey and adventure worthy of writing about. This has given me the "oomph" to start writing again and I thank you all. Just remember it's the "Angel from Montgomery" that's writing here, so keep a look out for more reviews to follow... Life is SHORT, stay Happy!

My partner and I did a little tour of Carbondale to relive our our college days and we were excited…read moreto go tres. We were shocked when we looked at the menu and there was just fajitas and nacho chips with cheese dip and guacamole, but we're told this place is no longer a Mexican restaurant.. I don't know what to say about that considering the history, the name, and now it's a sports bar? I don't know. I think they're having an identity crisis. We're really sad and ended up going to quatras for pizza to at least get a little bit of food and added nostalgia.

Tucked away off of Old Route 13, Midland Inn is perhaps on of the best places to place an order for a jumbo margarita and enjoy a country feeling with a plethora of friendly locals. Waitstaff will always share a genuine smile that provides a relaxing mood for enjoying one of the best BBQ places in the area. It's worthy to note: if you're looking for fall off the bone ribs, that yield notes of tender-loving care, then this is the place. Although the prices are low, they are in no way indicative of the portion sizes nor quality. Either inside or outside, both are great environments to meet up with friends and enjoy the hospitality that Southern Illinois has to offer. Personal favorite aside from the ribs and a fair-priced old fashioned is their pulled pork sandwich with a side of baked beans and fries. Sweet and savory only to be washed down with a great cocktail. Worth every minute and penny.
