    Sirloin steak and veggies
    Melanie P.

    It's been soooo long since I've been to Chili's. It's a Friday night and it was busy but luckily we were able to get a table in the bar area. I chose the famous Triple Dipper which had the mozzarella sticks (nice crisp with cheesy pull), honey chipotle chicken (the portion was bigger than I thought), and the big mouth bites. I couldn't eat this myself, it was great as a shareable item. I paired it with The Witches Brew marg, which was $6. Sadly, they didn't have the glow stick. The marg was too sweet for me but gave me a nice buzz. Of course I had to go all in and get the Molten Chocolate cake. This always hits! It's warm and gooey, the perfect ending to a long week. Chilis is always on point and service was pretty good. Pricing is always great and it's amazing for families.

    Needed a quick bite to eat so we stopped off at my friendly neighborhood Chilis. We like to beat the football rush Dominic was so attentive and super quick with our orders and food. He didn't skip a beat and kept asking if we needed anything else. Such a great experience every time we sit at the bar! 3 for me will always win!

    Chili's Restaurant Birch Rd location in East Chula Vista, CA menu

    First time dining at Chili's the Birch Rd location at Otay Ranch Town Center in East Chula Vista, CA. There was a 30 minute wait time not too bad after the car show ended. This location has a lot of parking and is near many shops and restaurants. We ordered the following: *Margarita chicken with black beans and steamed broccoli. It definitely tasted 10 times better after I added lime to the chicken. I rate this plate 4/5 stars. *Smashed burger with French Fries. My husband enjoyed this burger said it's a high end version of a Big Mac...haha! He rated this burger 4/5 stars. The restaurant has TV's in every corner so you don't miss your favorite sports games. Chili's was busy and our server kept forgetting my husband's beer, but that's understandable at least she was nice. I'm glad she placed our toddlers Mac n cheese order right away. Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday. Happy Yelping :)

    So I never thought that I would give Chili's a 5 star review but here I am and they absolutely deserve it. My good long time friends invited me to a Happy Hour to celebrate my birthday, and we chose this Chili's. We were greeted upon arriving and seated immediately in the var area. The hostess was smiling and very customer service oriented. We were given menus, and iced water came immediately. Shortly after that, the signature Chili's Chips and Salsa came to the table...DELICIOUS! Their thin and perfectly crispy tortilla chips and salsa is ADDICTIVE. For their bar area Happy Hour, there is a monthly featured margarita. This happened to amazingly be my favorite this month: WATERMELON MARGARITA!! We each ordered a watermelon margarita, YUMMY! 3 of us ordered the Fajita Trio Platter to share. It comes with your choice of 3 proteins. We chose shrimp and steak x 2. You can choose corn or flour tortillas, or both; which is what we chose. The platter came out in the signature Chili's sizzling style. There is also beans, sour cream, fresh salsa fresca, grilled bell peppers, and grilled onions. Everything was delicious! I will come back and I hope that the service and food is 5-star when I do. The restrooms were clean and well stocked, no issues, making this a great visit overall.

    I enjoyed my first visit at this Chili's. MATTHEW was the bartender/server was friendly and checked in with me often. I had their Smash-burger,that was really good. I had one beer in the restaurant was clean and had that classic chilies vibe, as I was walking out This restaurant was filling in pretty good gets pretty busy there.

    The family comes here every once in a while. They have a "3 for me deal" that includes an appetizer, main with side, and drink... it's a pretty good deal! The chips and salsa is a good starter for sharing. The chips are thin and fresh, yum! The burgers are flavorful and a huge portion. The chicken crispers are their chicken tenders, we like it with their honey chipotle sauce. The wait fluctuates.... During peak hours, the wait can be an hour or more... There's lots of staff floating around, and you can see they're all working hard.. A decent option if you're looking for a casual dinner out with family.

    Updating my review because it's so much better since we last visited. We've been here a couple times. The food and service has improved! Even when it gets busy, we've never had to wait for a table. We never come here on the weekends though. Servers are always friendly. Food comes out piping hot and fresh. The watermelon lemonade I had tonight was delightful. I'd order that again. Today I opted for the plain 4 piece tenders with two sides; broccoli and macaroni to share with my toddler. Y'all... I haven't seen my little one eat like this in a long time. She threw down and practically inhaled this meal. I think that in itself explains a lot lol! Ambiance is loud, but fun. Clean too. As for the triple dipper... the hype is real. Though I wish the mozzarella sticks had a cheese pull. It didn't come out hot and fresh compared to the other two apps.

    Triple Dipper

    I'm quite sure that John Goblikon is a larger Chili's fan than than I am. By larger I don't mean stature of course. I do wish that I had all of the merch that he owned. Though that would take up too much space in my home. I'm also one hell of a Chili's fan. I'm sorry that it's not still all about baby back ribs and barbecue sauce. However they've done some work lately, comparable and competitive prices. I think Chili's gonna survive this wave of hate for dining out and overall inflation, Chili's is gonna win the war against big corporate shrinkflation. I got that Triple Dipper with Southwest Eggrolls (epic), Nashville Hot Mozzarella Stick (bomb) , and Nashville Chicken Crispers (nuclear bomb). Highly recommend Chili's still. It's way more affordable than anywhere else. Only downside is they don't put out salt and pepper without requesting anymore, but that seems like an everywhere deal. By the way, warm tortilla chips still epiccccc.

    Decided to order in and was craving burgers, so we went with Chili's Eastlake for takeout. My son picked up the order, and it was ready right on time, which is always appreciated. The packaging was solid, but I would suggest they include a toothpick or skewer to help keep the burgers together during transport. We ordered three dishes and spent around $50, which felt reasonable. The burger wasn't the best I've had, but to be fair, it had about a 10-minute travel time. I imagine it would've been better fresh and eaten at the restaurant. Overall, solid experience with timely service and decent food. I'll probably give it another shot and dine in next time to get the full experience!

    We went to this location on four of the july. Our server Nichole was the sweetest and fastest server ive ever seen! She was so attentive and made sure everything was right with our food. It felt like we were eating at a five star high end restaurant with how she was treating us! Our food was so good! Best time ive ever had at chilis and Nichole took such great care of us! I hope she is getting the pay she deserves! Honestly I would just go to chilis whenever she is working because thats how much me and my boyfriend loved the service. cajun pasta: 10/10 was so good! The flavors were so good and strong. Southwestern salad: 10/10 Eggrolls: 10/10 best thing to order!

Our favorite server, Nathan, is a lead now. We were seated in Matt's area and he was our server. Nathan came by to say hi and greet us, this is excellent customer service here. Matt was also great and customer service oriented and he took our order for table apps and drinks. The ambiance here is fun, family friendly, cool, and good vibes all around.

For example, Thursday is Teachers 15% Discount Day and Karaoke. The walls, seating, and table decor is very nice. The design element here is wonderful. Our food: Bulgogi Fries App for the table starter, Fish and Chips, Chicken Katsu Plate, Side Order of Garlic Fried Rice, And 10 (4 Salted Pepper, 2 BBQ, 2 Sweet Chili, 2 Buffalo) of the $2 each wings. The food was great! The vibe is awesome, and the overall experience was great. We also got a chance to talk to Ben the Manager, Nathan the lead server, and Matt our server tonight. They all came to check on us to make sure that everything was going well in our dining experience. We HIGHLY recommend stopping here to enjoy a great dining experience.

I was diagnosed with colitis/inflammation of the colon consistent with foodborne illness. Four days later, I'm still dealing with cramping and difficulty tolerating food. This experience will likely end up costing me over $1,000 in medical expenses between the ER visit, testing, and treatment. This was one of the worst experiences I've ever had after eating at a restaurant. I normally would not leave a review like this, but I feel other customers should be aware and the restaurant should investigate its food handling practices.

    I've discovered a fascinating business model at this Einstein Bagels location: a bagel shop that…read moreroutinely runs out of bagels. Last time I came in, about half the normal bagels were already gone. But don't worry -- the "premium" bagels that cost extra were fully stocked. You know, the ones that are basically just fancy rolls pretending to be bagels. Funny how the only bagels that survive the morning rush are the ones with the surcharge. So today I tried a new strategy: show up right when they open. Ten minutes after opening... they were already out of several bagels again. Which raises the obvious question: how does a bagel shop run out of bagels ten minutes after opening? When I asked if they had more in the back, one employee said she'd check. Another employee quietly told her they were "holding them in the back." So apparently some of the bagels are being hoarded in the back for employees or their friends while customers are told they're out. That would certainly explain why half the selection is mysteriously gone the moment the doors open. I ended up just walking out. Honestly, it might have been for the best. The last time I actually bought bagels here, they were dry and disappointing. At this point I'll save myself the trip and just buy Dave's Killer Bread bagels at the store. At least the grocery store doesn't operate a bagel black market in the back room. No wonder this place only has about a 3-star rating.

While…read moreI understand it was a busy morning, I was concerned by the 35-minute wait, especially as several identical orders placed 10-15 minutes after mine were served first. When I checked in after 20 minutes, I was told it was just due to the rush, though the delay persisted. Since my kids were hungry, we decided to eat inside. We realized then that we were short one bagel, but I want to give props to the manager, who corrected the mistake immediately when I brought it to her attention. I appreciate her quick fix, but I hope the order flow can be improved; it seemed like the delays occurred because order slips were constantly being moved around, causing some to be missed. I'd love to see a more consistent process in the future!
