Chili's is a great, casual option for when you want to go out to eat but not spend too much and also not sacrificing the deliciousness of the food. I have really been into their popular triple dipper, which was delicious as always on my last visit. We were sat right away, the server as hostess were both very kind, fast and efficient. Even though they were busy, they still got my order right and warm. We tried some of their seasonal drinks, those were a hit too... almost everyone in the restaurant had one too (the wicked themed ones). We spent a reasonable amount of money, the atmosphere was chill. It could have been a bit cleaner but nothing crazy. Overall, I give it a 9/10. read more

Chili's - Bars Near Me - Lexington, Kentucky

First time eating at this location and the first time at Chili's in over 15 years. The waitress was great and so was the food. I got the steak and shrimp meal with two sides and everything tasted great, especially the Mexican Street Corn. My wife's meal was also perfect. They do offer a military discount which is much appreciated. read more

Food is so good and the prices are amazing. My favorite thing is the salsa and chips,

If you're in the mood to wait forever for food while watching everyone around you get served and eat, and then be treated like an inconvenience for even mentioning it--this is the place for you. After waiting an absurd amount of time, we finally got our food... except by then we had to take it to go. And naturally, it was missing items we ordered. When we let the manager know, their response was: "What do you want me to do about it? My cooks are slow today." Seriously? Apparently, customer service is optional here, and accountability is just a suggestion. If you're into chaos dining and enjoy being shrugged off by management, go for it. Otherwise, you're better off literally anywhere else. read more

I would have given them 5 stars until I got my receipt! It was my granddaughter's 8th birthday! As we were finishing our meal they came to our table singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY to her and placed a piece of cake & ice cream in front of her; needless to say she was thrilled BUT you can imagine how shocked I was when I got my receipt and found I WAS CHARGED FOR THE CAKE!!! WE DIDN'T EVEN ORDER IT! AND I was charged for 2 appetizers and we only ordered one! BIG RIP OFF Word to the wise, get your receipt at the restaurant don't have them text it to you because then it's too late !!!!!!!! read more

They have good food! The environment is nice, and the waiters are very kind. Love to watch the games on television and it's just a great eating place for fa.ily and friends read more

Three of my friends and I went to this particular Chili's around 1145am today. It has been awhile since I have been to Chili's, especially on this side of town. While it is convenient to other shopping areas, like Wal-Mart, the Chili's needs a make over and possibly an update as well. The woman's bathroom had shorter toilets, the paint was chipping on the floor, and the first bathroom stall had a feminine section with no bottom and no brown bag in there. Seeing that they first just opened, I would have thought they would have taken care of basic necessities. Our waiter was Wes, and while he was new, he was very kind. He stated that he was new and still learning the ropes. At one point, he accidentally dropped a straw on the floor and proceeded to place it in his apron; and I happened to see it in his apron for the rest of our meal. Thankfully he didn't give it to our table or any other table that I noticed; but he also never threw it away. Also, we received a lunch menu with TWO different prices. One said Lunch Break $9 Combos and the other one said Lunch Break $8 Combos. We mentioned our concern to our waiter, Wes; and he said he didn't realize it but would be back with the answer. He never came back with a clarification until we each received our receipt and found out what we each owed. My friend Maria got a Double Cheeseburger without any tomatoes. While the burger came lopsided, the burger meat was great, the cheese was the best and the burger bun was a little wet. Overall tho, she would have it again. I got the lunch Chicken Fajitas with no tortillas. Originally I asked for no sour cream and no guacamole. But when I received my cheese and pico, sour cream was included on it. I immediately stated my dissatisfaction and I received a new condiment section without any sour cream. The chicken was overall very moist and tasted great with a little cheese and pico added to it. The black beans tasted amazing with the added cilantro; while the rice tasted extremely spicy and was packed with grease. If I got the chicken fajitas again, I definitely wouldn't order the rice with the fajitas. My friend Janet decided to get the Lunch portion of soup and salad. She got the potato soup, to which she stated that she'd never had pimentos in her potato soup; and that the pimentos and green onions added color to her creamy potato soup. She was thankful that they put the blue cheese dressing on the side that she added lightly to her fresh salad. She loved the extra chips and salsa she got, stated the chips were VERY addicting, very little salt and had a light crunch. She would definitely get it again. My friend Beth decided to get the 2 piece Shrimp Tacos with Southwest Chicken Soup. She said that it was a little spicy but had an overall really good taste. She originally wanted the Enchilada soup, to which the waiter stated they were completely out of, and it was 12p on a Friday. But she enjoyed her shrimp tacos. Said it was the perfect amount of food for lunch and the tasty shrimp was grilled well. She loved the fresh avocado on the shrimp tacos; and she enjoyed the fresh chips on the side, as it added a little variety. Overall, it wasn't necessarily terrible food; but I would have to say that I would pick either a different Chili's or a different restuarant next time I am on this side of town. read more

Their food is always so cold when I get it to go or even at my table I don't even know how this place is in business still it tastes so poorly made. read more

the service was amazing!! ask for Jackson! he was very professional and attentive. Will definitely be coming back!

We stopped in for a late night dinner. We had great service from our waitress, but I don't remember her name. Started off with their chips and salsa. Delicious thin fresh cooked chips and a very flavorful salsa. I had the Brisket Quesadilla. They were very tasty. I can't give a fair assessment of the brisket because it has cheese and jalapeños included (as all quesadillas do) but they were very flavorful and I would definitely get them again. My wife had the Old Timer Burger with cheese. Came with pickles, lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, mustard and cheddar cheese. The burger was very flavorful, but I would think it was prepared from frozen because the outer section of the burger was cooked to perfection while the center was medium rare as if it was still frozen in the middle while being prepared (which is why I gave 4 stars). Not a deal breaker, just an observation from how it was prepared. Fries were crispy and delicious. I saw a few desserts go by as we ate, but we were so full from the generous portions there was no room for dessert. But the people in the booth next to us devoured the Molten Chocolate Cake in no time flat! We will definitely visit again! read more

Nice server wears weird lipstick but she's chill I guess she lowkey mean to me and my man but we chill good salad good vibes

The food was incredible! My Smash Burger was definitely one of the best I've ever had! My husband loved the chili and he's really persnickety about his chili! Great food and the service was top notched! Brooklyn took her time to explain and answer my questions....very pleasant exchange. I wish more places were as friendly and helpful! We got our order to go. So the ambience didn't come into play. I'll admit it wasn't always so inviting there. But all is forgiven after this experience! read more

I took my grown son for lunch today. He had the quesadilla and I had the ribeye steak. I also had steamed broccoli and a side salad. My steak was a disaster. It was way over cooked which caused it to be tough. It had a lot of grizzle. It just wasn't good. I ended up not eating all of it. The salad was old and stale and the thousand island dressing was out of a jar. The service was not too good either. She never checked on us and didn't make suggestion. My son ended up sharing his meal with me. Needless to say I will not be going back. read more

They have fresh new items on their menu. Impressed by the light nachos and the fajita combo (which is a fav of mine anyway) was superb. The portions were generous and the stall was incredible. read more

In order to post a review, a single star must be given; otherwise I can promise this Chili's would have been star-less on my behalf. Don't waste your time please. When every other restaurant in town is swamped and someone says, "want to try Chili's??" Say, "NO!" This makes two terrible experiences in a row for me. The first being two weeks ago. I sat in the bar area for lunch on a Saturday to find that the bar tender was the host, the server, and the bar tender for the entire restaurant. There were maybe 3 tables of patrons total and the bar tender was over it. He did not want to be working. His attitude reflected in our entire experience. Our meal was wrong. After informing the bar tender, he charged us for the correct meal and yet we received our jalapeño sausage after the meal was over. The check was wrong. We were charged for a pick two and a pick three meal. That was never resolved, despite me making an effort to tell the guy and waiting 20 minutes for him to fix it. Cash left for the meal. I was in shock of how many couples and families entered the restaurant to receive no service or be acknowledged and just turn around and walk right back out. It is 730 on a Saturday, and we've tried 3 other places that were packed with a long wait. "Want to try Chili's again?" Man, I should have said, "NO!" But I didn't. We sit at the bar. 7 minutes passes and the bar tender (a different one this time) addresses the two couples on either side of us whom had just received their food...... and then walks right on by. No acknowledgment. We waited 5 more minutes and now two bar tenders are present. Nothing. So strange. Needless to say, we left. Terrible back to back experiences sadly. read more

This place never disappoints! Delicious food, drinks, and appetizers! Service is quick and I always have a good experience at this Chili's!

The food is always good I can't complain this place is awesome I always have good reviews about this place the chips and salsa is relly good and the queso our waiter is very nice I got a buffalo ckinen sandwich and a side of fries and chili the chili was over cooked butt ut was still good I also tried the steak it was awesome all positive reviews read more

Food was great! Bathrooms were clean. Service was as fast as could be expected on Black Friday.

I dislike that I must edit a previous review in order to tell you how much I enjoyed today's Chili's meal. I wish Yelp allowed for multiple reviews of the same location by the same person, but alas, apparently the Yelp gods do not work that way. At any rate, hubby and I are still staying in as much as possible and ordering delivery. Today we chose Chili's at marketplace to make our dinner and Door Dash delivered it. I tried something new (to me anyway). I'm such a creature of habit but today, I ordered the chicken sandwich with the blue cheese dressing and blue cheese crumbles. Hubby got the tried and true chicken fajitas. Both were excellent. I love love love blue cheese. And did I mention I love blue cheese. I had them hold the avocado but even so this chicken sandwich was so delicious. This is not your run of the mill chicken sandwich -- this one is worth writing about and so I am. First, let's start with the size of this thing! Whoa! Better be hungry. But no matter how big Portions are it doesn't mean much if the food is not good and this was delicious. Delicious enough I came back here to add this post script to a review I did about a year or so ago. I highly recommend Chili's for dinner tonight. Yum! Way to go Chili's! Doing it right even in a pandemic! Stopped in after a busy Monday at the office. Wasn't crowded. Seated immediately very pleasant waitress. Knowledgeable about the menu and helped me make good decisions. I got the triple dipper. Lots of food for your buck. You get to choose THREE smaller portions from a list and that was way more food than I needed but can you say, "can I have a take home box?" I chose the extra crispy chicken and had the honey chipotle sauce on the the side and thank goodness I did cause it was way too spicy for my personal palette. But chicken was so good. Crunchy crispy outside and tender juicy inside. Onion petals and two small burger sliders rounded out my three. Yum. Yum. And Yum. A hit on all three. Hubby's 6 Oz sirloin was cooked just the way he ordered it and his fries and mushrooms hit the spot. Way to go, Chili's... nice way to dine on this rainy dreary Monday evening read more

I love chili's but the inconsistency from this location is disappointing. There was barely any chicken on the fajitas. The rice tasted weird. At least this time the peppers and onions were cooked, last time they were not. What really annoys me is how they barely fill the salsas for their to go orders, which you have to pay for each one you order, unlike in the restaurant. There's no reason they shouldn't be completely filled. Overall, disappointed and not worth what we paid. Not sure if the experience is better in person. read more

Great service, great food during busy times, friendly, caring staff. Thank you for the hospitality!

Wasn't too impressed this last time it's like a hit or miss. I normally order the chicken fajitas this time again food is cold the tortillas were so old that they were falling apart. Not to mention the fact that the drink that I ordered because water down which makes no sense because I sat in the parking lot and put my mobile order in. This was my safe meal I'm not a big fan of their hamburgers they have no flavor. lukewarm and you could tell that it was because they were sandbagging. Yuck read more

I ordered my food online, it told me 10-20 minutes. When I arrived 25 minutes later my food was sitting in the back. After waiting around 5 more minutes for someone to come help me I was given my food. I asked if it was still warm and was told "oh yes" I stupidly didn't check it before I drove home. I ordered a steak medium and attached is the picture of how my steak was prepared. Not to mention it was ice cold. Very disappointed that a $15 meal was this ill prepared. The only editable part was the salad which was great. read more

Waiter sucks, food sucks and the staff unfriendly. Waited like 10-15 minutes to just order drinks: we came at 11:00 Am they had just opened and only ones in here. Shouldn't have taken that long. Then after getting our drinks and ordering we didn't get any refills. Waiter saw we had already paid for the food and apparently my tip wasn't enough and so she stopped coming to our table. Tipped 5$ which was more than enough for a 20$ order but I guess that wasn't good enough. And to top it off it took 30-40 minutes for her to bring us a Togo box never coming again read more

I have not eaten at a Chili's in about 3 years because there are so many other options that I prefer to get good food. Plus, their food tends to be much too salty for my preference. The last two times that I ate at a Chili's, I had to send the steamed broccoli back because of the saltiness. Why would you put a gallon of salt on steamed broccoli? Anyway, the only reason that I ate here this time was because I was over-ruled by my 2 companions for my restaurant choice. I'd really like to give this experience 2 stars, but I think that the experience was a bit better than that. Entry & Seating When we entered the restaurant, we waited about 5 minutes before a host acknowledged our presence. When he finally arrived and offered to seat us, there was no apology for our wait. While this non-acknowledgement perturbed me, he did seat us very close to a TV and changed the station to the game that we wanted to see. Service Though, once we were seated, the service was very good. Our drink orders and food orders were taken promptly and both were served in a timely fashion. Plus, our waitperson checked on our satisfaction after our meals were served and she re-filled our drinks multiple times without our having to ask. Because I have not eaten at Chili's in a number of years, I do not know if they have nudged customers to pay at the table without any discussion from the server. This would be my only ding at the service. Once we finished our dessert, the server disappeared and we never interacted with her again. So, we were uncertain about paying at the table with the table-electronic-device or paying the server. Because the server disappeared for a long period of time after the dessert was served and we were not able to ask her the question, we were forced to pay at the table. Food I ordered the California Turkey Club sandwich, which has bacon, avocado, red onion, Swiss cheese, lettuce and cilantro-pesto mayo on grilled Wheat Texas toast. It comes with fries, but I substituted those for steamed broccoli in an attempt to make the dish more healthy. The size of the sandwich was large enough to be made into two meals. My only complaint was that the steamed broccoli (for both my mother and me) was way too salty. Once again, to ask the same question from three years ago...."why must they put a gallon of salt on steamed broccoli?" My mother ordered the Ancho Salmon, which is a seared chile-rubbed Atlantic salmon under a green, spicy citrus-chile sauce with cilantro and crumbled queso fresco. This salmon dish is served with Mexican rice and steamed broccoli. My husband ordered the Classic 3-combo Fajitas. This sizzling chicken, steak and shrimp dish is accompanied by a whole slew of things. Among the complements are chipotle butter, cilantro, bell peppers, onions, Mexican rice, sour cream, pico de gallo salsa, shredded cheese and flour tortillas. Believe me, this dish was flavorful (according to my husband) and large enough for multiple meals. For dessert, we shared the Molten Chocolate Cake. This warm, moist, chocolate-oozing, cake is topped with vanilla ice cream under a hard chocolate shell. This normally-yummy dessert was one of the main reasons that I used to eat at Chili's. This time, the dessert was not so yummy. Given this disappointing experience and previous experiences with the salty food, I am not inclined to return. One main reason that I may not return is because I suspect that they must have changed the recipe of the Molten Cake and the food is too salty. In our cake, the "lava" was solid and the cake did not have the same taste or texture as cakes in previous visits. When great desserts are changed for the worse, I am inclined not to waste my money trying them again. Overall, there was a lukewarm reception, disappointing food (mine, part of my mom's and the dessert) and good service (until the end). From this visit, I am reminded of the reasons that I have not made this Chain a priority eating place. The good stuff from this visit is not enough for me to seek out this establishment for a good dining experience. As with this visit, I probably will not return unless my dining choice is over-ruled. read more

I ordered from the 3 for $10 menu. I got the Caesar salad (not pictured), crispy chipotle honey chicken crispers, fries and upgraded to street corn. Everything was hot and our food came out quick. The waiter was very attentive and super friendly. The atmosphere of this location was calm and chill. Those. Crispy. Chipotle. Honey. Chicken. Crispers. My goodness. They were SO good! I'm a saucy person and usually I request extra sauce on the side to dip my food in, but I didn't need to do that! The crispers were super saucy and they weren't dry at all. I was a little afraid to try to street corn, but I wasn't disappointed. I even had a little butter to dip it in! I don't know why I've never tried or made street corn before. read more

This is one of two Lexington Chili's locations. I'd been to this location years ago, always at the choice of someone else in my party. Service was always bad, ruining the dining experience each time. Nothing has changed. Yesterday was one of the worst service experiences I've had in awhile. The food was ok, with a few mishaps that was the result of the bad waitress. My parents recently discovered the Chili's chain while they were in Florida. They fell for the 3 for $10 specials. That includes the pop (that's what we call soda in Lexington), an entree from the list, and a starter. The starters are super limited to a side salad, soup or chips and salsa. Keep in mind that the chips and salsa are free if you sign up for the rewards program. The banner outside indicated that the chips and dip are free on the first visit, but Dad insisted it was every time... if you're signed up for the rewards. The waitress confirmed what Dad learned in Florida, despite that not being exactly what's displayed. When we walked in, there was hostess who was dressed in plain clothes and holding up the side of the podium that really wasn't a hostess stand. She caught us off guard by announcing there was a 10 minute wait because of shift change. That was strange, especially because it was'nt the top of the hour. She mentioned that if we opted to sit in the bar area, there wouldn't be a wait. Strange from jump. My parents are retired, and don't mind to wait. She huffed at the fact that they didn't want to sit near the bar, and then she acted like a rebellious teenager stomping away to clear and clean a table. Not being in a hurry and trying to make the best of our time together, it was a comical experience. After waiting at the table for about 10 minutes, the waitress finally took our drink order. By that time, we were ready to place our food orders too. She was gracious about it and took our order. Instead of going to get our drinks or ringing in our order, she proceeded to take the order of another large party nearby. We shouldn't ran, but by this time, we were being entertained at how far fetched the experience was. Like, where is the hidden cameras? This had to be a set up. I'll skip ahead... our orders were brought out to us without our fries. After we finished the entrees, she asked how we were and for the SECOND time, we told her that we were all still waiting on our fries. My chicken tenders were tasty, but cold. Dad's burger looked great and he insists that Chili's has one of the best chain restaurant burgers on the market. Me, I've had better. read more

We arrived and were told the wait would be 35 to 40 minutes which was fine we came at peak dinner time. At 40 minutes someone stuck their head out the door and asked if we'd been paged and I said no. They then took the people who just pulled up in and said they were taking them first then we were next. Over the next 20 minutes I watched several other people walk right in and be seated. So at the 60 minute mark I went inside and was rudely greeted by the woman who stuck her head out of the door. She said "what do you need?" And I replied I needed to be sat I've waited an hour and watched many others be seated. Then magically they had a table ready. If it hadn't been 8:30pm and I had a hungry 4 year old with me I would've went somewhere else. read more

This is the first time I have been to Chili's. They have several options. I was seated immediately. The server was nice and helpful. I ordered the shrimp tacos and they were great, but very messy. It came with an order of black bean soup and Mexican rice. The only reason they received 4 stars is because the service was extremely slow. read more

First time getting food from this Chilis, and I got to-go. Only waited for a few minutes during lunch, and was greeted by a very nice woman who brought me my food. The service was great, and so was the food. Granted, I was about 10 minutes late arriving, the food was still pretty warm and tasted great! I got the $3 for 10 which is a great deal. Came with a drink, entree, soup, and TWO sides! Overall good experience. read more

With times so hard on restaurants you would think they would be trying to give the best service they can so they could continue to stay open !! But not Chilis ! I ordered my food and they said 20 minutes so I headed there because I live 15 away ... I pulled up and was only car waiting for food , young girl came out and got my name and then I set for 25 minutes!!! At one point I asked what was taking so long and she said the cook messed up the order then 10 min later I asked again and got same response!!( chicken tenders and a triple play w sliders) not a difficult order bit was still $45. I checked my order and 90%of my order was very cold , not even eatable!! Several people were not doing there job !! It's hard to fill sorry for anyone not making there tips or paycheck when they do not attempt to give good service! I will not attempt ordering from this location again!! read more

We've relied on Chili's for those too-tired-to-cook days since about 2015. My family has often ordered burgers or the chicken tacos. I was very sad to learn today that the chicken tacos have been pulled from the menu. This was the only item that worked for me! They clearly have chicken, as it is offered as a fajita. I don't understand the decision. That's it--just a chicken rant. read more

This place just needs to close. 1 star because it won't let me give a 0. Should have known from the last two visits not to go again but we love the chips and salsa sooo much. Once again, only seating less than half the restaurant because not enough employees. Told it would be a 15 min wait, waited 50 before walking out even though we would have been next to be seated. Three tables had left in the past 25 min but the were not competent enough to figure out how to seat our party of 5. Then we I was trying to ask about the parties that had left and explain how they could accommodate us after 50 min then proceeded to tell me the kitchen was backed up so that's why they still couldn't seat us. It probably would have taken another hour to even get food so we left. It was completely ridiculous, people leaving left and right. The management of this restaurant need to get it together or close the place. read more

We have always had great service here. The staff is friendly and playful (my husband & nephew like to joke around with the servers). The chips are light and crunchy without being oily. The menu is always being updated with new things while keeping the favorites. The kids menu is great with options (kids need this no doubt) and not over priced. The bathrooms are always clean and stocked (hate it when you need to borrow a square...haha). I like that they have alot of booths (a must with kids). Anytime there has been a problem, it is quickly resolved with no attitude. Refills are on point. read more

This was the worst experience. Don't bother. Find somewhere else to eat. We picked a chain because we are from out of town with picky kids. We thought we were picking the safe choice by choosing something they know. Waitress did her best, but there was no management presence and it showed. At our local Chili's in NC the manager walks around to each table at least once during the visit, which leads to great customer satisfaction. This location missed that memo, apparently. The bartender was incompetent. They made our margaritas wrong. We mentioned it and were informed we were wrong. The description on the website, menu, and our previous experiences ordering the exact same thing in NC prove the bartender wrong. They also overcharged us for said margaritas . We'll never return here when we come back to Lexington. Just save yourself the trouble. A vending machine at least gives me what I asked for ‍. It would have been the better option for the night. I'll also add, my daughter said a gas station bathroom is cleaner than the Chili's ladies room . read more
