    Enchilada Cup of Soup Watermelon Iced Tea
    Daisy C.

    We always have a good time at Chilis. We came in for the "3 for me" deal on a Tuesday at 2 p.m. there was a good amount of people, but definitely not a lunch rush. Our servers were very attentive and checked in on us throughout our meal. They also let me sub out the sides for the sirloin steak meal and take an iced tea to go. I ordered the steak "medium" and it was perfect! Easy to chew and very flavorful. There new mushrooms were yummy and very filling. The corn is a staple. The enchilada soup is too salty for me, but it was included so I can't complain. They have lots of fun drink options so I ordered a watermelon iced tea. It was sweet and the watermelon flavor was subtle. My partner ordered a burger, fries, and chips with salsa. Overall good food and good service.

    Meh. Don't order the boneless to-go unless you want microwave nuggets. Tenders and quesadillas were okay.

    Chilis has come to Merced and I gladly welcome a new place to grab some bites and drinks! Located in the Merced Mall plaza and with plenty of parking. They have a full bar with wine, spirits, and beer on tap. Happy Hour is 3-6 M-F and all day on the weekends! The lighting in this store is nice and bright! When my friend and I got here, the wait for a table was 45min. We got a seat at the bar and sat down right away because spots were available. Our server/bartender was Sylvia, who was helpful and attentive. We both ordered margaritas. Mine was the Presidente and my friend ordered the Straw-Eddy'Rita. So delicious! We ordered the Ultimate Cajun Pasta and split that between us. It was a pretty hearty portion so we were happy to split it, plus it was delicious! The menu is pretty typical of a Chili's but the staff were very helpful and kind! I'm looking forward to coming back!

    WHAT a MESS!!

    I was hoping that after my last phone call to the manager last Doordash order, that they would stop sending out bad lettuce but ah, contraire. Third salad probably means we won't order again. Come on, people!! DON'T put the containers with cheese, guac and pico de gallo on their sides!!!! What a sickening mess.

    This new location is beautiful from the outside, in the parking lot of the Merced Mall. Went in on a Sunday afternoon with my 10 year old granddaughter. Hostess asked if we wanted a kids menu, which we replied yes. She took us to a table and laid the kids menu down with a crayon. After she left, I realized there was no adult menu for me! I went to the hostess stand and retrieved a menu. Our server came pretty quickly and we ordered drinks and meals. Our drinks never came. Had to ask for them. Finally came. Asked for a straw. Never came. Intercepted her going to another table...my straw? Got our food. Can we get some BBQ sauce. Never came. Finally asked the manager for some. (Told him we have the worst server ever! - he was unphased! No Followup!) The chicken strips were over cooked and could not be easily bitten through. Fries were lukewarm and soggy. Sliders were ordered with meat well done. They made the buns well done and burned. Meat was rare! Server was very inattentive and absent minded! This place has bad mgmt and bad service. It was dirty inside. The new architecture makes the dining area shared with the bar in one large loud room. A 49er football game was on and the bar patrons were very loudly yelling at the game! This was our first AND last visit. It's amazing that Chilis spends millions of dollars building a beautiful new location and then pissing it away with zero caring/talent managers, cooks and servers! It's a common tale...

    3 for me with smash burger

    #Justinmadeithappen. We didn't make it easy on him and the rest of the crew. 25 hungry college students requesting to sit together during rush hour, and Justin said "No fret, we got you." The food was muy delicioso, and had my friends and me closing our eyes as we bit into our juicy, aromatic, meaty burgers. We are not from the Merced area, but would highly recommend this place to any remotely hungry sojourner looking for an affordable, food-coma inducing meal!

    The food is always great and the service is even better. Weekends are always a wait as expected everywhere, but it's well worth it.

    Wow! Where do I start? I contacted Bella Luna for a group reservation for my the parents of my…read moreson's water polo team. We were all visiting from out of town and there was a group of 38 of us. I called and left a message and Giancarlo called me back right away. Giancarlo is an amazing owner/manager and helped set up our amazing experience. We were able to sit in the back room on 3 separate tables. Our original group grew from 30 to 38 and they were still able to accommodate us. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful - exquisitely decorated with an Italian grocery store next door. I love this! You can dine and shop in their amazing little store! Our dinner was absolutely delicious - I ordered the margherita pizza and my husband ordered the gorgonzola and fig pizza. Of course I didn't get any pictures because I ate it too quickly and was having too much fun! Our servers provided us with the best customer service and took such great care of us. They were so patient with our large group and truly treated us like family. I want to thank Giancarlo and his wonderful staff for the excellent service and food and helping our team's parents enjoy a wonderful time together. It was so memorable and we will always be grateful for this phenomenal experience! I highly recommend Bella Luna if you are in town and want some delicious Italian food and feel like a VIP. The servers and their amazing customer service are one of the biggest reasons I would come back again and again!

    We had lunch here today, as part of a Tauck tour. Today is Sunday and Mother's Day, when the…read morerestaurant should be closed, but they had staff come in especially for us. They were so pleasant, even though they worked on their day off. We had a soup, salad and sandwich buffet that was delicious. The include some great cookies. I loved the pastrami sandwich and red velvet cookie! The restaurant is an adorable, quaint place with a new Italian food market. Definitely recommend!
