My co-workers and I always go here on our lunch break and we love it! The food is amazing! Our favorite is the skillet queso dip..... so yummy! If you do come here, be sure to sit in the bar section. I've found that the service is a lot better there. read more

Ordered nachos not knowing there would only be eight, I said eight total nacho chips. That's right ocho for my Spanish speaking audience nacho chips topped with a small piece of chicken and some cheese per nacho chip. They should put on the menu that it only comes with 8 nacho chips which comes to about 1 dollar per nacho chip. Wait a second the bill just came in, they charge a 1 dollar table entertainment charge wtf is this wow. Totally unacceptable! read more

Goodness I fu**ing love this place. When I come here I can always expect friendly service, good food, and great deals. I literally go to chilis twice a week (at least) I would say I'm an unpaid ambassador at this point. The 2 for $20 is the best. Get the honey chipotle crispers with double fries instead of corn & the Texas cheese fries or chips and guac, as your appetizer. I swear it's the best. Also they have the BEST ranch unlike the gross watered down Kraft version TGI's carries. Never had a bad experience at any chilis but this particular location is my favorite. Not enough people review the good experiences just the bad so excuse me for rambling. Bless this place read more

I enjoyed this restaurant, because of it's staff. The hostess and servers are great and on point with their service. It's refreshing to know the team work. read more

Food was okay, service not so much! In my opinion it was a little dark in their if you know what I mean.

Went here for dinner around 7:00 on a Wednesday night and the place was nearly empty which is why I don't understand why I only saw my waiter twice during our entire visit. He took our order and didn't come back for almost a half hour. Horrible service from our waiter but at least the person who brought us our food was nice enough to get us some refills. Food was decent but we probably won't be coming to this location again. read more

I'm only giving this a 2 star because my previous visits with chili's have been more than okay. I just had dinner there and I'm debating wether i will be coming back in the future or not. When my server introduced herself she let me know she was training and her trainer also introduced herself before placing my order. No issues with my server at all but I had a few with her trainer! First of all calling any female you don't know "babe" is NOT okay! I'm a 26 year old successful business woman calling me babe is so trashy and unprofessional. Getting back to my point, I ordered chicken fajitas, I even heard the "trainer" tell my server as they were walking off to be careful with fajitas because they come on a hot skillet. I go to the bathroom to find a completely different order on my table. Not a biggie, I thought to myself they probably just got the table wrong. I quickly let someone know (not my server) I believe it was the host, that whatever was on my table isn't what I ordered. He apologized and sent it back. My servers trainer comes back around and says "oh you wanted the fajitas, I asked you if you wanted the sour cream enchiladas and you said yes." I was in so much shock I couldn't even say anything. Are you really going to argue with me about what I ordered!? I go to chili's all the time and I literally only ever order one thing! The chicken fajitas! I looked at her in shock and said I ordered the fajitas. She quickly gave me an attitude and was like okay! After that I was so done with everything and she goes and calls me babe. Wtf. The food finally comes out and the person bringing it has no clue what table it goes to so I have to yell while her back is turned toward me that the fajitas are for me. I get them and within 5 min the skillet is cold and my veggies are still pretty raw but I just decide to eat them anyways because at this point I'm starving. I'm so disappointed in my experience. It was the worst, and to top it off I shouldn't have to fight fruit flies over my meal in a restaurant. Might want to get the kitchen looked at, I could only imagine what it probably looks like back there. (I sat in a booth pretty close to the entrance of the kitchen) grossed out is an understatement. read more

Wow this place is amazing every time my girlfriend and I come here I always go back to her house and get lucky... there is something about this location that makes ya feel like you can fly. I would highly recommend this location it makes you happy excited and most of all SATISFIED! read more

This chilis seems to get a bad rap. I've had my ups and downs with the place but definitely more on the good side. It's definitely a good Happy Hour spot (good beer, bomb boneless wings) and a good place to hang with friends. There have been some disappointments. The smokehouse items they have going right now are no bueno (waayyy to moist) but as long as a classic burger or a salad with chicken is on the menu, I will continue to come back. read more

Chili's is a fantastic place to have a meal or just a bite with your friends and family!!!

We went to Chili's the other day with a very large group. We all communicate using American Sign Language due to having Deaf and Hard of Hearing people in our group. We had such an amazing experience when we went. The service was incredible. Our waiter's name was Jared and he had only been working there for 3 weeks. We could hardly tell he was new at this. He even tried to communicate using ASL. 5 stars for Jared, if you go you should ask for him. I also have allergies and he helped me pick something I could eat and even exchanged my plate for something 100% allergy free. We highly recommend going to Chili's in Manhattan Beach! Be sure to ask for Jared, a very hardworking employe deserving of a raise!!! As the night went on he was so friendly and always made sure we had everything we needed. He went way above the call of duty to ensure that we had a very good end to the day. We will defiantly tell our friends to come here and ask for Jared! read more

I tried to park but was unsuccessful. Unless you are one of these people that drive a Caterpillar truck to work and just for fun on city streets, don't bother going because clearly that is their clientele. There is no room to even get in and out of there! Not too mention that folks were driving into spaces we were waiting to park into. Ended up leaving for another restaurant because I was definitely not going to get into it with the folks that clearly cut us. read more

I enjoyed the Shrimp Fajita but I also thought it could have been a little better. Their service was great though, I'll be coming back and hopefully I get something better! read more

Hard prior bad experiences with food to go, but thought we would give it one more try. To the point, counter at take out register is always sticky and dirty.. Steaks were ordered well done, when I got home and cut them both were rare. Fries and sides were just thrown in the containers and soggy from touching the other items, The server there is the same one I had problems with before, nice guy but he should not be in the food business, It seems like they give special service to the L.A. Bite orders and could careless about other customers, waited 20 minutes after the time my order was to be ready while they hurried an L.A. Bite order. Last visit for sure, not worth the risk !! read more

It was so bad they don't Tell you that the trivia game are not free they charge you to play it and they say sign up for rewards and get Chip's and salsa for free but they still charge you for them watiress was so tired she was working a double shift with no break that she kept forgetting are drink's they really need to hire more people interested of over working the people read more

the food was good, however, the cleaning of the bathrooms was terribly, which is why it depends not only on the food but also on the hygiene that the eaters should have. read more

Chili's - Tex-Mex Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

See all

I had a great experience here a few weeks ago and decided to take the girlfriend to a relaxing lunch somewhere local. it was horrendous. The chicken fajitas were made with boiled/microwaved chicken with carmel "grill marks", the $10 cheesesteak sandwhich came with 12-15 French fries (with a soggy bun as well) and the food overall tasted bland. The waitress was hospitable and well mannered, however despite the restaurant being 1/4 full she continually forgot to bring waters to the table even when asked several times. The staff was kind, and service was alright, however the food was way overrated and it is almost as if the kitchen staff have no pride in their work whatsoever. Time for a change chilis... read more

Decided to go out to dinner tonight instead of cooking since I had had a long day at work. I pick up my 4 year old and she decides we should eat dinner at chilis. We arrive and wait a decent time to be seated. Then the nightmare begins. Waiter takes about 10 minutes to take the order of the drinks and we give him the food order as well. The drinks came quickly but we were not given any straws. Not one employee walked by in the next 20minutes, that's when the food arrives. By that time the ice melted in my daughters drink and it was watered down. We had food but no utensils. We sat there and watched our food get cold till someone walked by and we asked for utensils. Decided to try something off their new menu .. the chicken over the waffles. it was very sweet, so sweet that I couldn't eat it. I ate one of my daughters cheeseburger sliders instead ( luckily she was willing to share). After we finished up we tried to pay on the tablet. Tablet was not working. Asked the waiter for the bill and waited 10 minutes for him to bring the bill. Then I gave him my card to pay and waited another 10 minutes for my receipt. By the time the waiter came back my daughter and I were very frustrated. I would of rather gone through the work of making a meal at home than to pay for this horrible service and food. The only reason we consider ever eating at chilies is because of their chocolate molten lava cake which both my daughter and I were exited for but the chicken and waffles had so much sugar that it took away my appetite for the cake. As for my daughter she told me not to order it for her because and I quote " no mommy, they are going to take too long to bring it and I'm tired of waiting". I'm not sure how management can allow such service to happen at their restaurant but by looking at the reviews on here , clearly they don't care ‍ Update: brought the uneaten food for my father to try and to confirm that I'm not a picky customer. My father is a professional chef and has been one for the last 35 years. He analyzed the dish( as he does with everything that is not his) he takes a bite and spits it out. Says that it is too sweet that he can not eat that. read more

do NOT go to this chilis.. I had never had a complaint about this location until now. There was LITERALLY a ROACH on my sisters plate. It was absolutely disgusting...they only offered to pay for that plate...If there was a roach on that plate I can only imagine what is behind closed doors and in the kitchen...the worst part? we were sitting right by the kitchen...I am still gagging over it!!! read more

Still wish I could give this place no stars I will stick to the one in inglewood ! I just can't believe how Steve over charged us for shots he told us 2 dollar patron shots so who would pass that up we made him repeat it 3 times so we would be sure so that's what we stuck with for the night at the end of the night when the bill came is when we knew Steve was a liar with a straight face! He said we started asking for doubles and I ask him to pour me a double shot with this glad of water so I can see how it looked when he did it in front of the manger who also open her mouth to lie and say she seen the shots he poured for us Is when I had to tell them both they were liars with a straight face how in the hell did she see what he poured and why would we ask for double shots when we could barley handle the shots ! That's when the manger threaten to call the police after she took a lil off the bill I told her call the police n do it quickly . We still had to pay a outrages bill a lil more got taken off but the lies is what got me I'll pay for what I ate and drank but don't add things on the bill and lie it was a show down and I would never return and suggest you guys do the same or keep up with what there charging you!!!!!!! read more

Went here this past Wednesday from 7-11pm. If I knew we were going to have such a hard time, we would have went to California pizza kitchen next-door and took our 14 people with us for happy hour and celebration... I'd like to start with good things; The appetizers were great and our waitress was good. HORRIBLE bartender, but good waitress (she seemed to be the mediator between us and the bartender because he kept rolling his eyes at us). It was the day before Thanksgiving, there were so many empty tables at the bar area... There's no reason why it should take 20 to 30 minutes for a drink, One of us even waited 45 minutes... I asked the waitress if they were short staffed today, and she said not really. So then we knew the bartender was doing it to us on purpose. We caught him rolling his eyes at us about five times that night & delaying all of our drinks big time! My three coworkers told me that earlier, before the rest of us arrived, they were being silly and calling each other names... Suddenly, the bartender turned around & blurted out a rude comment to them (maybe he thought my coworkers were talking to him)... This is actually not our first encounter with this African-American bartender... We've been coming here for YEARS, since perhaps the beginning of the 2000s. In the past, 3 of us went for a catch up session & he would focus in on our conversation and blurt his opinions loudly, responding to us, but allowing the whole bar to hear. I get that he was probably trying to engage his customers, but perhaps the management should give him a communications 101 class. He does not know how to do it correctly. A few months ago, I ordered wine, and my sister and brother ordered beers, and he laughed at my wine and made a discriminatory joke about my sister ordering a beer and me ordering a wine... Maybe he didn't know that I have a gout condition in my foot, and I'm not allowed to drink beer with yeast. The thing with his joke was, none of the three of us thought it was funny, and the entire bar area just kind of stared over at us. I'm one of those people that laughs all day long. I am the family comedian, & there is usually laughter everywhere I go... Maybe I should sit down and give this guy a lesson on some comedy and connecting with people... Today was the third time in the last few months that he has served us, and all three times were horrible! I give two stars, just because I felt bad for the waitress trying to do a good job, even though the bartender was giving us a really hard time. read more

Horrible!!Baby backs ribs were cold, covered in cold bbq sauce and tasted as if they were prepared days ago. Restaurant was empty and still not one waiter in sight! Mashed potatoes were cold. Men's restroom was not clean and this was early lunch hour, feces were mopped into corners of the floor of men's room and e smell will kill your appetite. Please stay away from this place!! read more

My new favorite spot! I've been going to the olive garden across from this place this entire time until last night. I got the 10 ounce sirloin steak with the grilled shrimp and it was the best steak I've had in a long time! My husband had the rib eye and he also enjoyed it very much. The service was great too. The manager also came over to our table to ask if everything was ok a couple times. Very nice lady. Highly recommend. read more

worst service i have ever experienced. took 15 minute for the bar tender to clean off the last customers dishes, took forever for the guy to even ask me if i wanted something to drink, and took forever for my drinks to be refilled. read more

The worst experience ever. I had the waiter Marlin. I had food floating in my lemonade, my entree came out completely wrong, my friend didn't receive their ice tea. The waiter wasn't friendly at all and was completely rushed. It took an hour to receive our food too. Do not come to this chilis. read more

I had the same waiter as some others who posted previously in the comments below. Marlon got my order wrong as well. I am severly allergic to bellpeppers and my fajitas came with them. No drink refills. Took forever to get my check paid. The waiter walked by and just dropped off our to go box on the table as he walked by. I've been to several Chili's even out of state. This was by far the worst service!!! I will not return to this particular Chili's. read more

Aweful service! Not sure why I keep coming back to this location but will. It anymore. We came in to get some lunch. The place was not packed at all. We were seated pretty much immediately but it goes downhill from there. There we sat watching every one after us getting served (meaning drinks). We were simply ignored. Everyone including the manager walked past out table with not even an hi or can I get you drinks. So we left - walked across the way to the Olive Garden. By the way for you "servers" at Chili's who "work for tips" I gave a $10+ tip to that Olive Garden server - guess you already make enough. Horrible service again and everyone at this location should understand the customers like me pay for your salary and tips SO you need me more than I need you! read more

Great service. We went for take out and Morgan or Meagan took our order in the bar area. She was very attentive to our and polite. Our food was also very delicious. Would recommend! read more

The food and bartender service was great. Although they messed up on our totals three times, never saw my waitress after I waited after I paid, and then never gave me my return for a beer that I did not order. Ended up just leaving. Would not recommend this chilis. read more

I came here with my family around 1pm there were about two other guests in our waiters area. Our food was pretty good and we all enjoyed it, but unfortunately we could not say the same about our waiter Lindsay. She did the bare minimum of her job, which was serve the food. We had to ask her for everything when it came to refills on drinks, more food etc. We also had to ask her several times for cups to take our drinks on the road. The recipe kiosk was malfunctioning so we asked her for a receipt as well as the cups for our drinks, she instead sent another waiter to give us our things. I'd understand if the restaurant had been full and she gave them to someone else because of time, but the restaurant was pretty empty so it was pretty clear she just did not want to do her job. Even though the food was good we ended up leaving dissatisfied with our service, we won't be coming back. read more

The food service was fast but once I moved to the bar the service was terrible, sat at the bar for 1 1/2 hours and was only poured 2 drinks as I couldn't get a hold of the bartender to ask for one once I'd finished my last I left early... not a chance of recommending or returning. Maybe the guy was having a bad day who knows... read more

yah...all i'm gonna say about 'chilis' is that their tv commercials REALLY oversell/over-exaggerate what their actual restaurants really sell as food. read more

Been here a few times for lunch and both times very average. I think I'm done with this Chilis. Got the fajitas and they were a little soupy and over cooked. read more

Had a great time here. Waited for about 10 minutes at 8:30pm Friday night, very reasonable. Waitress accidentally mixed up our order, which I didn't even realize because I was so hungry, but manager made it a point to personally bring out correct items and insisted the rest was on the house. Very professional and kind. Great drinks made here and overall service as well. Surprised this place doesn't have higher reviews. read more

Came in for happy hour there were no clean tables in the bar area and the man was really rude about us waiting outside for the clean tables he pointed to the door & was like y'all need to wait over there... Our drinks took forever and had a large block of ice in them bigger than the martini glass. He was very informal and unprofessional. Old brown lettuce with my egg rolls, fries were soaked in old brown grease and hello we didn't even get ice water which is the first thing every restaurant does. Not getting a tip or coming back. He never even checked on us the entire time. Should have went to the Inglewood location #badbusiness read more

I don't want to give this Chili's a bad review; I really want to like them, as the wait staff is always friendly and helpful. However, the cleanliness has to improve, dramatically. A friend and I visited recently, and the table was gross. I had to ask the waiter to wipe the table down twice to get all the leftover food and stickiness from the previous guests. I also had to ask for new silverware twice because the sets we received had visible, dried pieces of food left on them. On top of that, my friend displayed symptoms of food poisoning shortly after we ate. I like this place, but they simply have to clean better. There is no 'that's good enough' when it comes to the things people eat with, eat on and drink from. read more

DO NOT order togo here unless you want to sit at the bar for an he.... I placed an order and was told to come after 15 to 20 mins. I came in after 20 mins and I still waited over 45 mins. Not ever spending my money here read more

we had a very friendly waitress and the food was just ok. BUT, i wanted some butter for my mashed potatoes and they dont have BUTTER! how can a restaurant not have butter! i never heard of such a thing. read more

Stopped here for late dinner after a fun filled family day at Universal. Everyone pretty much knows how their food tastes so I really funny need to comment about that. BUT THE STAFF!!?? ALL OF THEM?? RE DIC ULOUS!!! I'VE NEVER BEEN THIS UPSET BEFORE!! We felt like we were at a high school eating dinner. They were ask watching TV yelling and laughing at each other across the room while serving their customers. We weren't the only ones irritated. The family next to us kept saying "can they just shut up!" One kept shouting as loud as he can not once, not twice, but several times "I GOT THE POWER!!"! I can see if their having fun trying to enjoy their job in a calm funny manor not while serving they're customers. Not walking around so loudly that costumes couldn't hold a family conversation it was so obnoxious! I couldn't take it and just couldn't wait until my kids were done eating! Worst ever!!! read more

terrible food with the worst service I have ever experienced. I ask 5 times for a refill on my strawberry lemonade, which never came. The pickles was disgusting, to much hot stuff not enough dill flavor. The chicken tenders looked rubbery and I do believe they would bounce if we threw them. The chili honestly looked so bad in color that I didn't even attempt to taste it. When complained about food, waiters only response was oh you no like the food? Did I not just say that! UGH! I will never go back and if your smart, you won 't either!!!!! Oh and if our waiter would actually FOCUS on our table, instead of flirting with the couple next door, he may have realized that everyone at my table didn't receive proper drinks for what we paid for the food... read more
