4 stars for Chili's.... crazy, right? I took a really long hiatus from this place. it's just your average chain restaurant. I understand managing expectations.... but I have to say my most recent visits were really positive. no wait (probably because most people are still gone from when it went downhill) great service... ...and I have to say the food was really good. and let me clarify... we're talking veggie burgers, kids quesadillas ...and shrimp tacos... but seriously good and a nice value for a quick lunch out. try it again if you haven't been lately. read more

They did serve us dinner even though they were closing in less than an hour. Our waitress was quite friendly but also left us alone to have conversation. They do have these clever kiosks at the booths where you can order your food or play games to entertain impatient kids. Just don't launch those games or you will get charged $, as the person taking me found out the hard way. It's $1.99 for that so it can get pricey. I'd come back. read more

It all started with an empty waiting area but no Chilis to seat us for five minutes. I saw an employee walk by but they didn't seat us immediately despite there not being a line. When we were finally seated, the waiter took our drink orders and didn't return for at least ten minutes until he came to take our food orders. We ordered the classic nachos with chicken, although the chicken seemed to be missing. I didn't receive a notification about a chicken shortage around here so I don't understand why that was missing. Although the waiter excused the error, the full price of the chicken nachos was still on our bill at the end of the night. In my opinion, the waiter should be better trained in what's available on the menu. My youngest daughter wanted the caramel molten cake that she has enjoyed in the past, but when the waiter left to put our order in, it took another 15 minutes for him to come back and tell us it wasn't available anymore. This whole time my daughter was excited while we assumed her dessert was being made, but it was just a delay in disappointment. I never would have thought a Chili's location would get a one star from me, I have had such good experiences in other cities, and yet Danbury did not provide. I do not think we will ever return to this location... who knows if Chili's still has our loyalty. read more

I can already see from the most recent feedbacks that I'm not the only one unhappy with this place. The people who work there are obviously unhappy with their life cause I can see that with how they treat their customers. Recently ordered through the phone app and the guy at the To-Go pick up counter is obviously not liking his life. He brought my order 20min later than expected and he didn't even acknowledge it. Of course when we got home the order was missing a couple of item. So I had to go back to get the rest of the missing items. So mr sunshine at the pick up counter looks even annoyed that I came back, and couldn't believe that he was missing a couple of items (mind you that this is not the first time I have ordered there, and this is not the first time they missed an item here and there). He was insistent that he got everything in there. I told him that it was missing the chips and salsa, and some fries. He insisted they there were fries in there, and he remembered putting a set of fries with the order and there was only one fries ordered. Gladly I showed him the receipt that showed that fries were in a couple of orders. So he brought out the chips and this small container of fries. Mind you this is the side for an adult meal and there was literally a handful of fries in there. I mean this was pathetic amount of fries. So I went to another person in the restaurant who looked like he was the manager of the place, and he didn't care much less that I was unhappy. Needless to say, this place is a pathetic place and do not recommend them. They probably should have went out of business a long time ago. With the number of new restaurants opening up around the place, I'm sure they will be. When that day comes I definitely will not miss the place. read more

The chicken enchilada soup is amazing get a bowl every time, love the mango iced tea and the bacon ranch quesadillas. The staff is great very friendly and they keep the place clean. read more

The wait staff is great, at least most of them. But this past year the menu has become inflexible. If you order the 2 for $25, or the 3 for $10, or anything at all for that matter, and you want to add something or change something to make it more to your taste, all you get from the waiter is that they can't make alterations, even though the customer would gladly pay the up charge. Ridiculous! Why not get the full size cheese fries on the 2 for $25 menu instead of the half size, and pay the $4 extra if that's what you want? Or why not substitute the chicken fajitas for the steak and pay the $5 or so more? It's a win win but not in this stores book. It used to be my favorite place, now I rarely go. . Whatever happened to customer service? read more

It's a Chili's. You know what to expect. Until someone pukes right next to your table. And the staff decides that letting the floor marinate in upchuck for a few minutes is the best way to go. Sure, paper towels are thrown atop the vomitous trail, but it's undeniable : someone just PUKED next to your TABLE. It's not Chili's fault, probably. Probably. And they PUKED... right as your chips and chunky corn guacamole is being served. The cognitive dissonance between your meal and what can be found on the floor a few feet from you is too much to handle. You think about kittens and dive in. Finally, a manager comes over to mop the remnants of the technicolor yawn. "It might be a little slippery, folks," he warns us. Thanks manager. You've done the right thing. You've also confirmed our suspicions that Danbury, CT is quite possibly the anus of the East Coast. Or at least the malfunctioning digestive system. read more

The fact that I wasted the time to actually rate a Chili's should tell you how I feel... Possibly the worst experience at a chain restaurant, well at least close for sure. Let's see, where to start: Understaffed - check! Shoe leather food, check! (my sirloin was a piece of cardboard covered in pico de gallo, WTF) Wine from your alcoholic grandmothers magnum collection, check! REM music you haven't heard in 25 years, check! (not to bad considering my age, but at 100 decibels a bit loud) The expediters bring your food, but no silverware - cave man, nice... What else can I say, I just wanted a quick meal, it's was in the parking lot of my hotel btw read more

Gross bathroom, filthy restaurant and burnt chicken wings. GROSS!!! Their bathroom was dirtier than the worst gas stations i have ever seen. There was a weird door by the bar that was cut in half. I could see the kitchen littered with empty boxes and trash. And finally we ordered smoked wings that were out in the grill and brunt on one side. Wont see us in Danbury again. The ones in Waterbury and Southington are spotless and the food is always consistent. read more

Wow I was so glad to get off the highway and get a snack. Until I walk to the bathroom and looked into the kitchen. (Photos attached) this place looks like Jane Tappers worst nightmare. So filthy. read more

See all

Everybody's been to a Chili's at least four times in their lives. It's got to be a law of the universe. For those of you under rocks, they serve Tex-Mex inspired food that's great for curing hangovers, feeding the munchies, or just general anytime eating. There was one incident where the waitress and manager didn't recognize a coupon from Chili's official Facebook page (or that Chili's had a Facebook page), but the manager, in the end, did the right thing and happily accepted it. Glad to see the staff treats customers right. read more

As a food service worker I tend to give leeway in favor of the staff and restaurant because I work the other side of the table. So understand that the 2 stars is lenient for the experience I and another patron endured. I ordered online, came in at the time confirmed, and was welcomed by an eerily empty, overstaffed, frantic scene of frantic waitstaff. I waited 3p minutes before anyone even cashed me out (this is after roughly 5 individuals came over and asked if I'd "been helped," but never actually helped). Then the woman who cashed me out walked away without handing over any food. I then had to wave down a host and ask if the bag that had been sitting on the counter throughout this transaction was indeed mine. After digging around and interrogating me, he said no and walked away. Another 15 minutes pass and the manager comes over with another bag. I ask if that's mine, to which he says no. Turns out the now cold food that's been out on the counter is mine. Oh- and there have been exchanges and alterations made without any approval on my behalf, to which the manager shrugs and walks away. I feel worse for the man sitting there for over an hour and a half for his wife's pasta. Apparently the manager tried to force him to take my food at first, and now he has been subjected to a timeout chair waiting for his actual order. When does it take 2 hours to make pasta on a Tuesday night? Looking for tex-mex? There's a Taco Bell across the street. At least you'll get hot food and better customer service. read more

Chili's - Neatly an hours wait for an online pickup and I'm presented with melted sour cream, a cold tostada, and a steamed avocado smh - American Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

The two stars is for food. The hospitality of the waitress is worst than a bad restaurant. Being such a big restaurant chain in the US the service is unacceptable. We have ordered a guacamole burger and we got a sausage in it. And the waitress behaved in a rude manner saying that was the order that we have given. Not worth stopping for. read more

Pissed that they removed most of the great deals during happy hour in the bar area. $5 feast mostly gone. :(

My friends & I alternate who chooses where we go, and one of us likes this place, but I've experienced spotty service, too many screaming baby's, and occasionally BAD food. Our last trip was a perfect example. I ordered the Quesadilla Explosion Salad & a seltzer with lemon. The waiter cringes as explains that the Danbury CT Chili's does NOT CARRY LEMONS. We all look at him with confused expressions, and he explains that because of the fires in California... the manager of THIS location has decided that lemons are just too expensive to offer to customers in any form. OK, I order my drink with a lime. My salad arrives, and my first forkful unearths a huge piece of a plastic bag, with a "CHILI'S SALAD" label attached. When I eventually track down our waiter, he cringes with a "Not again!" and apologizes, getting me a new salad, and takes the salad off our bill. I thank him profusely and ask for a second seltzer & lime. EVENTUALLY the drink comes, with no lime. I ask him for a lime, and he promises to get it. We don't see him again until it's time to pay the bill. There are TWENTY other restaurants within 200 yards of this place. We'll go somewhere else from now on. read more

Really not the best experience here,, we walked in and everything just felt very dirty the server gave us napkins that were dirty, we ordered beer and the beer was flat, I got chicken tenders that were very dry and my boyfriend got a burger that was super salty and not good, very disappointed read more

Worst. Service. Ever. Food isn't fresh, and service is slower than molasses... Good luck getting a refill on your drink.

Nice restaurant & bar. I like their fajitas and salads.

After a lousy experience at a much higher priced restaurant around the corner we decided to go to Chilis for dinner last night. There was wait for a table and a waiter promptly saw us after a couple minutes. He was friendly and I'd have to say good at his job. He checked in on us several times, but was never pushy or anything. The food itself was fine, it was pretty standard for a Chilis. Overall, it was a good trip! read more

One of the best Chili's visited. Service was great and food came out delicious. Conveniently located off 1-84 for out of towners.

First time visit. The server Scott tried his best, but my food was utterly disappointing. I ordered a salad that was supposed to be a main dish, with spicy chicken... I got a tiny side salad with fried chicken tenders... I mean really. The server apologized and offered me cilantro when I asked if the chicken was supposed to be spicy . Maybe this is a good place... maybe... but my first experience sucks and I doubt if I'll be back. read more

Giving one start because it would not allow me to post. however my experience was not good. It was the first time ever in this restaurant just moved into the neighborhood the food was awful the waiter did not come around check on us. We specifically asked for the food to be well done and it was not. Will not b going back. read more

Fast service, great chicken. Only problem was that the guacamole dip wasn't up to par, it could have been made between. But other than that, everything was well prepared, and not to mention absolutely delicious. read more

Chili's - Margarita grilled chicken - American Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

first time I have ever eaten at a Chili's and only because I didn't want to cross a busy highway to get to a more "refined' place. Shawn, the bartender was polite , friendly and knew his menu quite well. I had the guacamole dip with chips and draft beer and the carnitas tacos (3) which were pretty good and certainly filling. $12.99. Some of the draft beers were "happy hour" specials. All in all, ok, I've had a lot worse. happy trails read more

Got my order wrong more in one shot than all the orders gone wrong in my life put together. I ordered two sets of crispers and fries with corn(not specified on the corn but it comes with it) and a extra order of fries. First they come out with two fries and I tell him i need the two crisper orders as well and the extra fry. Then they come out with one set of crispers which I didn't notice were burnt to s*** till I bring it home. I tell them another crisper and another fry. Then they come out with my second crisper but.... no fry. Then they come out with my fry and ring me up for half my meal. As I'm bagging my stuff I'm thinking ohh they must have comped me because they screwed up too many times and they go ohh yeah we gotta charge you for the other half of the meal. I pay it willingly and go home only to find out I didn't get my corn on top of it. And Don't even get me started about the poor door dash guy trying to get his order filled for his customer!!!!!!! What a mess read more

Continues to be the worst Chilli's in the Northeast ...shame on me for going back over and over hoping it would change. To many problems to even list. read more

I ordered through door dash and I got everything I ordered however my steak was over cooked. I was craving a juicy steak all day and unfortunately I picked the wrong place because I ordered it medium rare and it came well done. It was super chewy and not juicy at all. Spent $50 super disappointed. I guess it's worth it to eat out so if they over cook your steak you can send it back for a new one. I'm assuming there will be no recourse here. Also I ordered nachos and they were not presented nicely and there was hardly any cheese on them, very disappointing. read more

had the worst experience here the other day. the waitress was new but she forgot several things and over ordered others. our bill was ridiculously high and we only had one drink, one appetizer, and one kids meal. ended up paying $50 for horrible service and food. Will not come back. Ever. read more

I have to laugh at some of these past reviews. 1. If you think you can just walk in on a weekend night at 7pm and be ushered to a table you are sadly mistaken. This is a successful company people and of course there is going to be a wait! In fact anywhere you go that is decent you will be waiting for a table!! Call ahead like you are supposed to and wait your turn or go later in the evening. Food is fine here. The menu is consistent, and the service is decent. 2. Oh no not a napkin or two on the ground! Yes people it's busy, it's loud, it serves families. It's not going to be perfect, no place is. Some people have the nerve to lie and say they saw a roach or take dumb pictures. The picture I see shows a clean serving area! Lolololol. Chili's does a fine job at any location ..... I have yet to have an issue read more

Had a great time here today, good food and good drinks. I wanted to specifically call out Spencer as a a great bartender. Went in for a late lunch / early dinner and ended up having a great time and had a great conversation with him. I will be coming back for work again, staying in the area, and will definitely be back. read more

Well how do u run out of smoked wings at 6:30pm??? Oh well lets see how the rest of dinner turns out.

My friend and I love chilli's we are here all the time. Tonight we decided to call ahead since it's a Saturday night. The girl told us 735. We showed up ten minutes early and our name was not on the list.. For future reference, I would recommend making sure that if you call ahead, you have extra time to wait when you show up and your name is also, not on the list. read more

Wish I had yelped before we went! We were staying at the Hampton Inn (shares a parking lot) and got in kind of late. We typically prefer non-chain restaurants, and this place quickly reminded me of why. The service was friendly, and prompt, but we waited a LONG time for our food. Value was off the charts- two dinners for $20 with an app is pretty awesome, but it came at a price. When the food arrived, my fries were cold (not whiny, they weren't warm, they were cold) and my wife's rice that came with her fish was also cold. The black bean burger was ok, and they did a good job following my diet restriction requests, which I appreciated. All in all, we weren't upset, but we got about what we expected and what we paid for. Probably won't go back. read more

WORST BARTENDER IVE EVER ENCOUNTERED. Bartender demanded payments twice in the middle of our meal,not our waiter,but the bartender who was on the other side of the room. Imagine sitting down eating a meal,having a few drinks with friends,and someone who isn't even your server demand immediate payment not once,but twice. Would be nice to see him replaced before I ever go back. read more

Horrible horrible. We called in an order took 15, then was left on hold for 15 minutes. Called back to see what was going on. Finished the order asked when it would be ready was told " I don't know". Should have given up then but we were celebrating someone's birthday. If you look at the picture YES that is a POOL OF GREASE!!!! read more

Chili's - Horrible gross disgusting - American Near Me - Danbury, Connecticut

This is the worst Chili's I've ever been to. We showed up at 5:00 on a Friday and there were only 2 other customers in the restaurant, which should have been a red flag. We were seated in the tiniest possible table next to the only other people there in a back corner of the restaurant. Every other party that came in was also seated in this obscure corner of the restaurant, making for a very uncomfortable experience. The second we sat down the waitress was asking if we were ready to order. Um no? She asked 3 more times within the first several minutes of us sitting down--why?? It was like they were trying to rush us out of there when we had just arrived. There was no room on the table to even put down our plates (because the table was so small) so the server just stood there looking at us, expecting us to hold the plates. Maybe you can put some of it up on the ledge behind you, she suggested. No? It was no surprise that the food was awful. The chicken was disgusting and slimy. The queso tasted like it had just come out of a microwave. We went to use our coupon for free queso and of course I didn't work and the manager had to do it manually. Overall just a bad experience. I certainly won't be coming back. read more

Went in for a quick lunch with our toddler. Hostess didn't look up from her phone when we came in. Once seated we sat there for 15 minutes without even a hello or I'll be right with you. We finally walked out and no one commented. I don't blame the staff, I blame management. read more

Just OK. The place looks fine. Consistent with other Chili's in other towns. Wasn't too busy, but there seemed to be confusion around who was responsible for seating arriving Customers. It also seemed longer than it should to be acknowledged by anyone after being seated. Eventually a person who was not a Server took my drink order. Now it was at least 10 minutes before a Server took a dinner order, and another 25 to receive it. Cajun Pasta with chicken. I could tell by the dried sauce that the order was ready earlier, but must have sat under a heat lamp for a while. Taste was great though. In summary, food was fine, service was slower than expected, price was right. I would recommend printing your receipt if you need it. I chose the email option, and guess what? No email. read more

so, whipped into chili's in the benz. anticipating a gooey treat for my pleasure (hot chocolate chip skillet with ice cream). we waltzed into the finest dining of Danbury and we were met with NOTHING. waitresses nowhere to be seen, benches outlawed, and no gooey treat in sight. we were waiting and waiting for the gooiest of treats for our tummies and finally a single Chili's employee appeared. after emptying my bank account at Chili's (due to the hot chocolate chip skillet), we wanted to share our Chili's Craze to the world. we walked over to the tantalizing, yet aesthetically pleasing floating, glowing Chili to take a photograph. alas, the utter stench of awfulness hit us like a 18 wheeler running us over two times! we both gagged together, but took the photo, still hoping for the gooiest treat in our tummies. we returned to the benz, only to find no skillet in sight. there was a plastic container, a frigid cookie, fecal fudge, and some bad ice cream (in the benz). after spreading the fecal on the least gooiest treat known to mankind, my hands rushed to bring the treat to my mouth, as it begs for pleasure. it sucked in the benz. i gaze at what is left in my hold and put it back in the container, cold. However, if I'm being honest, 10/10, best Chili's ever! read more
