    Chicken Bacon Ranch Quesadillas
    Kimberly S.

    Took a break from shopping and stopped in to get some lunch. First of all this is a franchise location so they don't participate in the complimentary chips and salsa for being a member of the rewards program. Also they have a different menu. They don't participate in the 3 for me offer either. So basically if you eat at this location plan to spend more then you normally would at Chili's. For lunch we had quesadillas and a burger. I ordered my burger medium rare and it was well done. The burger itself had a good flavor but why bother to ask how you want it cooked if you're not even going to attempt to come close. My husband liked his quesadillas but I guess they're pretty hard to mess up. Our server was very nice and checked in on us often and refilled our drinks. When it was time to pay if your paying by card you scan the QR code at the table and handle it yourself and they add a 20% tip on automatically that you can alter if you choose to and then you can email yourself a receipt, pretty simple. All in all a fine lunch. I was just disappointed that the menu was different and I didn't get my chips and salsa that I've become accustomed to when I go to Chili's...

    Presidente Margarita
    Rachel C.

    I love going to the chilis at Jersey Gardens! This has always been customary when visiting and it never disappoints. I believe the food/ price ratio is good here. I ordered a presidente margarita ($12) and it comes with a shaker that provides a refill. I also had the chicken, bacon, ranch quesadillas which are my favorite ($15) you get 8 pieces which I think it's plenty for the price. The waitress frequently checked in and offered water which was kind of her. I'll be back during my next visit, thanks!

    Chips and "salsa"
    Sheena G.

    Well, for what it is, and going in with expectations this won't be a fine dining experience, I was pleasantly surprised. Service was slow as mentioned in other reviews. The things I thought they'd get right - the chips and salsa, the margaritas- they didn't get quite right for some reason. Salsa was like a thin soup with no chunks. President margarita was too sweet. But the shrimp fajitas were really good. They did pour some kind of hot sauce over the top to give it flavor which seemed to work. I've been to chilis quite. A few times around different parts of the country. They have all been going down consistently. I'm at a hotel in the area for work. I'd come back here next time I'm back, but wouldn't come here as a local.

    Went to the mall and was thirsty and hungry . I have tried all other food places in the mall, and wanted to have a quick drink and food. First time to the chilis and it was just awesome ! We sat in the bar and service was a bit slow, but it was worth the wait . Blue moon was just amazing . It was about 10$ for a glass .. was expensive because of mall , but it's fine. . Margarita was awesome too. Wings was ok. Chicken crisps were dry , but we added some buffalo sauce on it . Overall , apart from the little wait time during service it was an awesome experience...

    Big Bacon BBQ Burger (with Fries)
    Steve S.

    After shopping around the Jersey Gardens mall, my girlfriend and I were hungry and decided to stop by this Chili's location. It was convenient that it's located directly inside the mall, so we didn't have to move our car. I have been to Chili's before, but it's been a very long time. Since it was a Thursday evening when we came, it wasn't too crowded and we got a table right away. Looking over the menu, it seemed like burgers were the most popular items here. So, I ordered one of the new ones they had; the big bacon bbq burger, since it sounded really good. My girlfriend wanted to try the spicy shrimp tacos, which was also listed as a new menu item. I must say, I was pretty impressed with the burger I had here. Was very juicy and flavorful for a chain restaurant menu item. A decent amount of bacon, bbq sauce, and double patties came on my burger. I enjoyed it. The shrimp tacos weren't the greatest, however. I would not recommend that after trying one from my girlfriends plate. But I would definitely recommend the burgers here. Since it comes with fries, you can't go wrong with a burger meal choice. Overall, you can't expect to be blown away with Chili's food, but it gets the job done. Solid average spot to dine at.

    Bacon Avocado Grilled Chicken Sandwich
    Gary M.

    Because this restaurant is located inside the mall, they do not participate in specials so you've been warned. You won't even get free chips and salsa when sitting down. Prices here are a little higher than other locations. When we came for lunch, they stated they were open at 11 but they didn't open til closer to 12:30. There was only one server at that time so service was inattentive. The food here was fine, nothing to praise or complain about. But I'll go back to eating at the food court here at Jersey Gardens.

    $10 for 3 frozen south western rolls and spilled sauce because the container wasn't closed
    Stephanie S.

    Whew a waste of $22 during my Christmas shopping. Stopped by for a quick visit I wanted to pick up some food and go. First of all the workers were talking about how lazy the cooks are and how they have to cook orders for themselves most of the time. Ummm WHET? So the cooks aren't.... cooking???? So it immediately made me open up my yelp app and look up the reviews and low and behold they were terrible. I had already paid so I was stuck. I sat at the bar and waited for the food to come out. First of all the text mex rolls were obviously frozen and ONLY 3 pieces for $10 are you kidding me??? The wings were terrible. They looked and tasted unloved. I will not return to this establishment EVAAAAA

    What a ripoff. Airport prices and 9.625% sales tax. They also don't honor Chili's rewards.

I normally don't drink, but I chose to that night and was not disappointed (good margaritas!) Not a con, but a heads up - street parking can be hard to find. On a Sunday night, we ended up parking off a residential street (far down High Street) because there was nothing on South Ave. So just keep that in the back of your mind if you plan to be there at a specific meet time. Otherwise, lots of fun!

    Tex-Mex & Sushi , Whaaaaaat?…read more This is the kind of place you go when you're hungry and "ballin" on a budget". In other words, you get a ton of food for an unbeatable price; however the tastiness factor isn't exactly up to par. Ideal for delivery and late night feasting that won't empty your pocketbook. -You won't leave here hungry, but you sure as heck won't be rushing back with pregnant lady cravings -Fresh Tortillas Grill gets extra points for friendly staff, convenient hours and offering delivery -They're version of a Quesadilla is piling ingredients between two tortillas, making it into more of a salad; with tortillas on the bottom and top. Absolutely nothing holds the ingredients and the tortillas together. The chicken was cooked & seasoned perfectly - Never heard of a Tex-Mex Sushi place before. Considering the limited dining options in Downtown Newark, I'll take it -The Restaurant itself is kind of an eyesore. It's run down and won't give ya' any "So Fresh, So Clean" vibes. On the flipside, when the food is so cheap, I'll sacrifice cleanliness for affordability.

    Two solid stars. That's double what a Tex-Mex/Sushi restaurant should get!…read more The main thing is the Mexican, which dominates the menu. The stuff I had was nearly inedible, but you may be able to find something better. The sushi, though falling apart, was actually not bad. And there were plenty of condiments to go around. The teriyaki combo is just mexican food with teriyaki drizzle. I nearly cried the first time I came in--I placed my order, then the owner came out with a beautiful large fish, some delicious-looking greens, and various chinese sides. I said "Ooh, can I order that???" The person at the counter snickers. "No, we don't sell that!" Waahh. FTG is on the corner of drive by and drug deal, of which there is a view from my apartment. It's open late, even Sundays, which can be a lifesaver.

    Wow, I did not realize how long it had been since I went to this Chevys. I pass it all the time…read morewhen I go to the AMC Theater next door, but Tex Mex is not generally my go-to cuisine. Recently I decided to check it out again and I'm glad I did. Sometimes it's nice to see a restaurant update its interior, but in this case almost nothing has changed inside, but that's fine. The unique "bottle lights" in the ceiling, the dark wood and various tchotchke distributed throughout the restaurant really give it a whimsical feeling. The staff is super friendly, something that I remember from previous visits. During my most recent visit I was seated very quickly by the super nice hostess. My waiter came over a few minutes later and was super nice and I never felt neglected during my meal. The menu has changed dramatically since my last visit. I remember there being fish tacos that featured grilled fish (instead of battered and fried). I also used to enjoy having a vegetarian quesadilla but those are off the menu, replaced with a veggie burrito. The burrito is good but I preferred the quesadilla. I enjoyed my visit and I'm glad the quality of this place is still there (and it would explain the restaurant's longevity).
