Went to Chili's Milford location on Friday night. We sat at the bar as there was nobody to seat us, not a problem! The Southwest Egg rolls were awesome as always but looks like they're getting smaller, seems that's the norm now though. My SO got the Honey Chipotle Chicken Crispers which he said were great. I got the rack of ribs with rice and broccoli. I could only finish half which was my intention because that was breakfast the next morning... yes breakfast lol! Again savored that great smoky flavor with fall off the bone meat.. yum! Broccoli was cooked perfectly, rice was in a tiny little dish but was flavorful. Our bartender who served us was awesome, great Margaritas! Definitely would go back, best ribs around! read more

Very pleasant experience. The waitress was very attentive. The food came out quick. It was busy but the noise level was fine. The steak was cooked a little cooler than the medium rare I was expecting, but not enough to worry about it. They were out of asparagus and offered an alternative. All and all a good experience. read more

My husband and I have been going to this Chili's since we were dating 38 years. We went today and the food has changed flavorwise. We had nachos and egg rolls...it may be better for some but they have different spices that we just didn't like. I am a great cook but I can't figure what you are doing different but we will not be going back. Our waiter never checked on us at all but my drink was good. And I used to visit other Chili's ...but no more. Constructive criticism is the way to go. Good luck. Thanks for the good times! read more

My only one star review so far. Hate to do it. When I came here, with a group of people, we actually walked out before we were seated. The condition of the bathroom is one reason. Now granted this was a long time ago and things may have changed since then (not that I'm going back to find out). What was on the bathroom floor was disgusting. No bugs or anything but take a wild guess at what WAS there. After all it is a bathroom..but I'm talking about the floor as you walk in. You can tell alot of things about a place by how they keep their bathrooms. I'm nothing like a neat freak believe me but this was disgusting. Then there was the kitchen which I had the misfortune of seeing as I walked back to the front area. The floor was completely covered in food..covered. I told my friends my discoveries and we got out of Dodge. The actual food at Chili's isn't bad (I had been there before this unfortunete incident). But cleanliness and atmosphere do factor in. I guess that night did have one other surprise. It completely turned me off from ever entering a Chili's again so there's that. read more

Staff had their mask pulled down, pulled it back up when they saw me looking. Really disappointing as my teenager loves this place and this was a special treat for her. It just shows that the commitment to cleanliness is very shallow. read more

I ordered the classics nachos which is normally one of my favorites at Chili's. But this time was a different, scary experience. I noticed a liquid on top of the chili sauce and it looked like water. Then i looked at my server had a dripping nose and it had gotten all over the nachos. I will never eat at Chili's again! I mentioned this to the manager, Nesha, as well but she said it was a problem they were aware of and that a few people in the kitchen had runny noses and a fever!!! read more

I'm updating my review to 4/5 simply because of how above and beyond the customer service was for making up for incredibly poor visit just a few weeks prior. Bryan, the manager, is wonderful. He sent out a letter to us apologizing for the subpar service we received from the waitress we had that night and even noted that the it wasn't a busy night, so the food coming out cold and our waitress playing magician and disappearing half the night was inexcusable. He sent us some Chili bucks and after coming home late one night, we decided to stop by and see if he was there. Sure enough, Bryan was working and I thanked him for his kind letter and the apology, as well as the Chili bucks. We sat down and had a waitress who was attentive from start to finish without being overbearing. We didn't have to ask for refills on drinks, she knew to put in our daughter's food before our two meals, and was just overall jovial and pleasant. The food came out hot, with no issues and everyone was happy. The whole experience was a total 180 from what we were exposed to previously. Bryan assured us that some of his staff were put on notice (not just our waitress) and some were even fired (not her either) and that everyone has since stepped it up. It was incredibly refreshing to see someone step up and initiative to get things done and make it right. read more

Chili's - Chips and salsa!!! - Tex-Mex Near Me - Milford, Connecticut

This place is excellent staff is courteous and patient witnessed that while eating place was clean and they were following the ridiculous guidelines that apparently do not work due to the predicted 2nd wave besides that great place to eat prices are very reasonable kudos keep it up read more

I don't know why this restaurant has so many bad reviews. I came here one time and it was a satisfied experience. Service and food were correct. Price was reasonable and the staffs were very friendly. Cons I prefer "medium-rare" but I got a "well-done" steak. read more

Tasty food. Good service. Prices are not bad so you won't go broke taking the family out for a nice dinner. I recommend the Chipotle Chicken with Waffles. The waffles have a light crunchy coating and the chicken is not too spicy, but at the same time not bland. read more

May I give a half of star? I have been here before and that I came back, but it the worst place that I have ever been. In fact, that why it was almost empty. The chili wasn't re-heat, I guess. It was totally cold.. almost frozen. We were waiting for the food more than one hour, not napkins and the wrong food read more

Chili's - Tortillas, and the guacamole, which were brought around 30 minutes before the fajitas ‍ - Tex-Mex Near Me - Milford, Connecticut

The only good thing about this place was the manager and our waitress. The kitchen staff SUCKED! The manager went out of his way to apologize and make things right for ALL the errors the kitchen made. The food was not good. Fire everyone in the kitchen and this place may have a chance. read more

The worst mismanaged restaurant in Shelton, CT. Avoid at all costs unless you are extremely eager to wait for 45 minutes for garbage food

Just came in here today for take-out; I placed my order online. I ordered the cheese curds, enchilada chicken soup, mango iced tea, and the classic bacon burger with homestyle fries on the side. After I placed my order, a detailed receipt confirming that I ordered everything I wanted was sent directly to my email. My food was done very promptly and the servers were friendly. From the moment I placed the order at home, it only took about 25 minutes to have it in my hands, which I think is great. But when I got home, I discovered that they forgot to give me my order of fries. I should've known better and checked my order before I left the restaurant. I just figured since it was a fairly simple and straightforward order (with no special requests nor substitutions), that everything would be correct. But you never truly know. The food/drink was decent. I liked the mango iced tea. The burger was cooked the way I wanted and I enjoyed it. The cheese curds were also pretty good. The chicken enchilada soup could be better....I have a feeling the chicken they use in the soup isn't exactly premium quality chicken, so I picked the pieces of chicken out and discarded them. I got what I ordered (mostly), but was very disappointed that I didn't get the fries I paid for. read more

Just had a to-go order and it was the worst. Our steaks were soggy and looked like they barely touched the grill. My steak didn't even come with both of the sides I had ordered. And of course it was the side that I actually wanted that was left out. I don't think we'll be getting take out from chili's after that, the food is definitely much better when dining in. read more

Cold everything. Missing three things on my burger. Worst Chili's. Come on. Try a little bit.

Was in at 6:00 on Sunday night. Not overly busy. Ordered a black bean burger with LTO. Asked twice for lemon for my iced tea. No sugar in the table. Asked again for that. One napkin per person with burgers. Burger was over cooked and the fries were way underdone. Soggy and limp. One small ring of onion on the burger and a tiny piece of lettuce and tomato. When I showed the waitress what they put on it for onion she asked if I wanted more? What?! All done with this place!... read more

Chili's - How my burger was delivered to my table. Nice O & L. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Milford, Connecticut

This Chili's is about the oldest casual dining chain place in the Orange/Milford corridor, dating back to the late 80s I believe. Despite the age, the place looks pretty decent - they've done a good job of maintaining the place over the years. For what it is, it's fine. Had the chicken fajitas in my recent visit - a little light on peppers and the chicken was sliced too big and could have been blackened a bit, but overall it was ok. I did like that there were some beer specials that saved me a couple bucks a beer. I also liked the music they had playing, a mix of rock and pop, and at a just-right volume. If you're vegetarian, be warned that options are limited: one pizza and one flatbread choice (neither of which really scream Chili's to me), and then what might be your best bet: any of the burgers with a black bean patty (which is actually pretty decent, and I'm not even vegetarian). One major bummer - they discontinued one of their other signature items, the "Awesome Blossom", which was the breaded and deep fried whole onion. Certainly nothing great, but if you have to eat on the Boston Post Road, this is one of the more solid options. read more

I like Chilis food so I keep giving them chances even though they mess up orders and the service is horrible. I spoke to the manager and she sent me some gift cards. Last night I tried to order some food for takeout. I placed the order online but then I could not tell if it went thru so I called the restaurant. They answered the phone, said they were not taking any more orders because they were too busy and hung up on me. I will use my gift cards at another Chili's, after that I am done. read more

Worst Chilis I've ever visited! Servers celebrating being stoned, calling other customers bitches for cheap tips, and general smack talking (that's what the kitchen is for!) Clean up your act, work as a team and for goodness sake pretend you want to be there, if I could give less than 1 star I would. 10 minutes to get extra tortillas so we could share the fajitas? I could have made them from scratch faster. Worst service ever! And I made a point to let the manager know what's up. read more

Chili's - Don't try to share the fajitas, you'll only get 3 tortillas and it will take 10 min to get more--if you can flag down a server - Tex-Mex Near Me - Milford, Connecticut

I`ll keep it short and simple. Chili`s in Milford..went for lunch yesterday. Ordered a Bloody Mary..got a glass full of ice with probably half a cup of actual cocktail. My son`s girlfriend ordered Nachos..the poorest excuse of Nachos I have ever seen. I should have taken a picture because I can`t believe these even came out of the kitchen. My salad with scrimp was just pathetic...baby shrimp about the size of a nickel. Wife ordered coffee that was ice cold and in a dirty cup. read more

Ordered some food to go last week here. The Grilled chicken sandwich was awful. Dry, no flavor or taste to it at all. Kind of like eating shoe leather on a bun. Had a rack of Ribs and same thing just too dry. Meat was sticking to the bone and was hard to eat. A friend had a cheeseburger he wanted cooked Med-rare. Instead they cooked it beyond well done. Fries are always cold. Don't even bother to get them. I doubt I will be coming back here again. If dry overcooked cold food is what you crave then this is the place for you. read more

Another horrible take out experience ....food looked like it was someone's leftovers !!!! Wrote to the company and they sent me only 15.00 in coupons. read more

Chili's - Tex-Mex Near Me - Milford, Connecticut

We're not talking gourmet food, but after driving hours in the rain on I-95, Hubs and I stopped here to catch a quick dinner and rest before hitting the road back to Boston. For travelers, it's very easy to get in and out of. And it's across the street from a mall, too. Even better. Our server was really nice and very quick. We split chips and salsa (not homemade, I know, but it hit the spot) and ordered two entrees. We finished our entrees quickly, as if we had never ate before. We joked with our server that we were on the road heading home and needed to get off the road and out of the rain. He kept hooking us up with more chips and salsa. The service was great, and the food was just okay. However, you can't have high expectations to begin with! read more

Terrible, I tried to join the wait list online, but there was no wait. Going in I watched three table being bussed and held the door for two more couples leaving. The hostess told us an hour wait. And kept pushing us behind other people walking in. All our food apps salads and entrees came at once read more

I tend to steer clear of franchise restaurants. Microwaved food doesn't really appeal to me. But I've been coming here lately --usually late night-- for drinks and dessert. (I can't speak on the actual meals because I haven't tried them recently.) But that skillet cookie with ice cream is one of the best things I've ever tasted. The cookie is rich, buttery and comes out steaming hot with a heap of vanilla ice cream on top, drizzled with fudge sauce. It's amazing. For ten bucks you can get a margarita mixer that's good for 4 cups. It's a great deal for a chill night out. I usually sit in the bar area when I go and the last two times I was there we had an attentive waiter that really looked out for us. She was awesome. read more

Had a wonderful experience today thanks to the host, Owen. I have been here a million times, the food is what it is not bad and the servers are friendly for the most part but today Owen went above and beyond the duties of a host. He was very helpful and very attentive to my two year old. Not many people go out of their way to entertain a child because let's face it kids can be annoying when you're trying to enjoy your food but Owen was great. Talked to my son even went out of his way to put on the TV for my son. He was great!!! Thanks Owen. read more

On my daughter's birthday, I visited Chili's after walking out of the Applebee's nearby following the most horrible customer service I have ever received. We were greeted by a very nice young lady at the door who took my name. She was clearly working very hard to find each party on her list, and smiled at everyone as they were escorted to their table. We were served by Laura, who provided a wonderful experience, and greeted us immediately as we sat down. Everything was brought very quickly and correctly by our very friendly server. It was clearly a very busy Saturday night, but Laura shined. We explained to her that our experience at Applebee's earlier in the evening was horrific, and she certainly made it a point to go the extra mile for us. About midway through our meal, a young man who looked to be a manager came over and apologized to us about our experience at the other restaurant. He did not have to do this, and especially not on such a busy evening. Good on him for taking the time to come over and ensure we were enjoying ourselves. Say what you want about "chain restaurants." The Chili's in Orange is an example of what families look for when they go out to eat on a Saturday night. Good food, great service, an awesome environment, and a fair price. Props to the staff here for giving us a terrific experience. read more

We ate here last night and it was terrible. Our order was wrong and our meals were awful. To top it off my ice water tasted as though the glass had not been fully rinsed. There was also condensation dripping from the vent over the table and when we asked to be moved we ended up having to move all of our food ourselves. read more

Was starting to try chili's again during the period where they started running specials on fajitas and drinks etc. was like the whole restaurant was reborn. Service was amazing even tho place was packed. I almost fell for it! Lol. Yesterday was another story....prices were back up , service was non existent even in a half empty restaurant. My wife and I left after ten minutes of sitting at our table being ignored. Oh, well...scratchin chilis off my list....again read more

Literally crappy my insides out while I'm typing this. Waited 50 minutes for my shrimp and steak fajita, mother's shrimp fajita, and girlfriends ribs. Waitress did her best by given us a free desert, than my moms meal cause she didn't like it or touch it, I ate mine but left a lot of shrimp (it had this weird texture). Girlfriend had to wait 13ish minutes for bbq sauce. Then I'm the end just gave us everything free.... not worth it if I'm dying on the toilet. Left her obviously a large tip on a $0 bill ($15 for $34 meal)... but I'm not going back regardless of her efforts. read more

I am a huge fan of Chili's. I usually frequent the Shelton location. Now I remember why. The service tonight was quite slow. Our order was messed up twice. I always order the Texas Cheese Fries and they came doused in cheese and barely any French fries. We actually had to turn the food over to find the French fries. It was covered in jalapeños after I specifically said "no jalapeños". My soup arrived only after I reminded my waiter that I ordered it. Dirty dishes were left on the table for way too long. We will not be back here. read more

Seriously the worst Chilis I've been to and I honestly like Chilis.The service overall was bad. I wouldn't be coming back to this Chilis ever again. read more

I usually LOVE Chili's. Went yesterday to this location and ordered the Berry Blitzen Rita (the special drink for the month of December) & to my surprise the drink was NOT at all what I thought it'd be. I'm giving 2 stars because our waitress was nice. She wasn't really attentive though and when we complained about the drink she stated "oh that's just how it is made" and proceeded to walk away. 10 minutes pass and she walks by.. we actually stop her ourselves to ask her for the drink menu. At the end of it we ordered another drink... which was decent. We paid for the whole thing and left. Oh there was a broom and dustpan in the middle of the aisle while about 3 employees were sitting at the booths. read more

Haven't been to chili's in a long time and Decided to take my best-friend out for lunch for a birthday celebration. I was sleeping on their food but we both got the 3 for 10$ and it was very filling & delicious. Our waitress was a able to provide us with premium service & a nice smile to uplift our day and make our experience much greater. She continuously checked upon us to make sure we were all good & showed that she cared, we appreciated your kindness to make our day, @Daria thank you read more

HORRIBLE after waiting over 1/2hr for a table we're seated in a corner where we were neglected. We order appetizers and drinks the waitress tells us that is really busy. She brings our drinks out, takes our order and puts it in. Since the order its taking long we ask for another round of drinks in which at this point she's asking to please drink fast because they had run out of cups. So food is still not out so we decide to order a third round with the same story she ask for our cups again they had run out of limes and oranges. My son ask for a soup and he gets a plastic spoon because they had no clean spoons. Our food took about an hour to come out and food waiter tells me to be careful because the plate was hot in which it wasn't the food was cold. The steak dinner was missing the garlic butter and dry, my daughters food was missing in which i complaint so he turns around and took him about 10 minutes to come out at this time I asked to speak to a manager. I explained my situation and I handed the plate and told him I don't want my food so he asked me if he can get me anything else in which I told him I'm done. He takes my food off the check messing up my check since it was part of the 2 for $25.00 so my check was even higher. So I get up and I approached the manager and I told him about what he's done to my check so he fixed a part of it at this point I pay the check not realizing that I still had paid for the so called free chips. Not to mention when I used the kiosk the screen shut off. Can't make this up....Poor customer service read more

Dined here on a weeknight. Our waiter was great - friendly and attentive and brought our drinks in a timely manner. Sadly, the chicken ranch tacos I once loved were dry and cold and my husband's steak was not very appetizing looking from the color to the temperature. I don't think I'll be coming back again for quite some time. read more

A recognizable and run of the mill franchise restaurant with a large and attractive menu with decent variety. I ordered a sirloin steak with mashed potatoes, broccoli and nachos. The nachos were okay, and the mashed potato with bacon was the best part of the meal, but the meat was overcooked when I ordered it medium, so I drowned it in A-1 sauce to make up for the lack of flavor. The worst part though was the broccoli, which was far from fresh and had brown rings around the stems and some of the head. Any other chain restaurant is a better choice if you're looking for a cheap casual dining experience, so skip Chili's. read more

It's Chili's. Same as every other Chili's. This one's been here a long long time, so I guess it isn't making everyone violently ill. If that's all you look for in a restaurant, and you don't care about flavor or service, then by all means eat here. That's all I have to say about that. read more

First of all food was good! I had a sampler appetizer plate of Asian eggrolls, crispy chicken bites, and burger sliders. Chicken was a little oily but the rest was good. My daughter had the trio fajitas. Excellent! That said our waitress was terrible. She was not attentive at all. I had to wait ten minutes for a refill on my soda. When she did finally came by she grabbed my glass and said want a refill and then quickly walked away before I could answer her. She had an attitude. We love Chili's but this time the staff gets a thumbs down. read more
