Chili's is a restaurant that serves a variety of food. Chili's serves things such as sandwiches, burgers, fajita's, ribs and steaks, pasta, and many other foods. I decided to go to Chili's with a friend to evaluate their food, service, environment, and my overall experience. I discovered that the food at Chili's is big portioned, priced well, and delicious. Their servers are very nice and polite, but busy. Chili's environment was nice as well. Chili's is a good restaurant overall, that satisfied my desires.
Before going to Chili's, I wanted the food to be just as it was, big portioned, savory, and inexpensive. I wanted the server to pamper me a little, but not too much so I could enjoy my meal and free time. I didn't care how the lighting was, nor if there was music playing. What I thought Chili's was going to be like, and what I expected it to be like were pretty much the same. This is because I expected the food to be averagely priced. I know before I went to Chili's that I wanted a steak. Therefore, I expected my meal to be twelve dollars. I expected there to be music, but it being low enough that people could barely hear it. I expected the restaurant to be a little crowded and noisy. I expected to be greeted at the door as well. I also expected for the servers to be polite and give good customer service because that's how they're supposed to present themselves. Because what I wanted and what I expected were pretty much the same, it leads me to believe that the restaurant is well-managed.
As soon as I walked in the restaurant, my friend and I were greeted by a hostess who stood in front of a counter. She asked for one of our name's, and told us that she would be right with us. After about three minutes, the hostess walked us to a tall booth. It was the perfect location and seat for my friend I. The seats were comfortable and it was an area where it wasn't too noisy. At the table there was an iPad. An iPad is actually on every table in the restaurant, which I think is cool. Anyone can use the iPad that's at their table to play games, pay for their meal, go online, and do many more other things. We used the iPad to pay for our meals, and we only looked to see what we could do on it. I really liked that there was an iPad on the table because not many restaurants have it. It was cool because it could be convenient if someone needs to go online they could, and if someone has wild children the iPad can entertain them.
That day at Chili's, I ordered a six ounce steak, mashed potatoes, and broccoli plate. About ten minutes after we ordered our food, it arrived at our table. The first thing I noticed when it arrived was that there was a big portion of food on my plate. I was surprised because it was only eleven dollars, which is very close to the average twelve dollar amount people pay for a plate of food like I had at a restaurant similar to Chili's. My plate of food was huge. In spite of my plate having a lot of food, my friend had less food on his plate compared to mine. He had ordered fajitas, which were sizzling hot when they came to the table, and his order came up to fifteen dollars. I guess his food was higher priced because it's more luxurious. He wasted some of his food because he still had fajita toppings left. However, he claims that his food was good and he was full. I on the other hand, cleared my plate of everything, was very full, and enjoyed every bit of the food that I had.
The person who served us was very nice and polite. He did take some time to check-up on us, but I understand because it was a busy day. We didn't need anything though. The atmosphere of Chili's was typical, because there were people talking but it wasn't too loud. The lighting of the restaurant was casual, and I believe that there were no music playing.
Since the server was nice and polite, my friend told me to decide how much he should tip the server. People who work at restaurants work hard, so I told him that the server should get at least five dollars. So he tipped the server five dollars. I was pleased with this restaurant and enjoyed myself. I will be more than happy to eat at Chili's more often, and think that if anyone hasn't eaten at this restaurant they should. The food is awesome, big portioned, and well-priced. The servers are nice and polite, and the atmosphere is perfect. Everything went well for me, so I'm sure that everything will go well for anyone else who plans on going out to eat at Chili's. If you plan to, enjoy yourself! read more
