Had to share what a great service and food experience my family and I had today. 5/3/26. From entry the service was 100... friendly, an engaging staff. Our server Derik was top tier, and on his game , so so pleasant and was the perfect amount of checkin from a customer perspective. All the food runners that helped at our table, smiled with every interaction and was extremely pleasant . As we exited I asked the managers name and they said he was talking with other guests but I just wanted Justin to know, you're killing it with the staffing and the food it was all perfect . It was so refreshing to have such an experience as customer service seems to be at an all time low .. chilis, rising above all the noise training their people right. M read more

Really good food and excellent service. Only thing I would change is enforce to go order parking.

The new peanut butter pie is awesome! Derik is an amazing server! The wait wasn't too long even though they were packed, with several small & large parties waiting. read more

If you looking for some low key late at night this is the place. Typically gets busy at this location, but the service goes by fast. I usually go to bar side. Food tastes better when you have a drink. Servers nice and friendly. Must say this month drink special very tasty Lemon Drop margarita. read more

I really enjoy going to chillis. I like the food the ambiance. The service has been great every time. There's just one thing I don't like why is their happy hour only available in the bar area??? What if I have my kids and I don't want to sit at the bar? What if I have my elderly mother with me and all booths are taken? She can't sit in a tall hard chair. Or maybe is a case like me someone young with injure hip and knees and I can't sit on a tall chair? Happy Hour should be honor in the whole restaurant not just the bar. I'd never been to a restaurant that makes you sit at the bar area just to enjoy happy hour drinks. read more

I've been to this Chili's before. And this time they were certainly on their A game. The server was very friendly, the food was fast. It was busy in there, but we were seated immediately. My food was very tasty and it makes me wanna go back again. read more

Before I get to the reason for the 2 stars, let me start with the good. We each ordered the 3 for me meal deal. We all ordered the smash burgers and fries. The burgers were very good and the fries were hot and we'll seasoned. We ordered the enchilada and potato soup. Both were good. The chips were served warm and fresh. The service was good. Now for the bad. As we were eating, a large cockroach ran under the booth we were setting in. If you see one cockroach in broad daylight, you can bet there are hundreds more coming out of the woodwork after the store closes. I find it hard to believe management is unaware of this problem, and for that reason I can not recommend this restaurant. read more

Ohhhhh.....too much good food and too many good choices! It's really hard to decide, unless of course you bring someone with you and then you can order it all and split it! Whoootie whooo, which is EXACTLY what my daughter and I did! We started with the triple appetizer with the boneless chicken with sweet and spicy sauce which was tangy and slightly spicy. My mouth is watering now. We also chose the mozzarella sticks (which are massive and EXTREME cheese pulls) and the sliders (which has a clean beef flavor). What a great combo and I was already full. We also ordered the chips and salsa, because, well, it's mandatory! Chili's has some of the best chips and salsa. Especially if you get the lucky chip (which is a chip that all of them are fried together). We split the half a slab rib with the loaded, fries and brisket quesadillas. The other entrée was the sirloin with shrimp and loaded mashed potatoes with steamed vegetables. Holy cow....I felt like I needed a wheelbarrow to take me to my car! What a great meal and a wonderful server! You can't go wrong with any choice on the menu and there is always a special happening at Chili's to make it affordable for the entire family to eat. Wonderful decorations on the inside and they even have a game tablet at the table read more

We come into Chili's every now and again to have some greasy food to share amongst us. I do enjoy the Don Julio margarita my guilty pleasure as well as that chocolate lava cake. Staff are welcoming and at this location we have never had an unfriendly waiter/waitress. This location looks kept up not sure if they gave it a makeover, but it's not bad. read more

We were here mid-Sunday afternoon. It was crowded but there was no wait. I think we all enjoyed our food, but the problem was that the music was so loud. Between the crowded restaurant full of people talking, and the music, it was hard to talk with those at our table. As for the food, we enjoyed the pick 3 burgers, and left stuffed. The vegetarians in our group enjoyed the black bean burger. Chilis is Chilis, and we would return if in the area. read more

First time eating here at this location... Service was okay. Little sloppy when serving. Food was ok, French fries served cold with chicken sandwich. Would probably not get it again. The girl brining salad, brought additional salad with no croutons, as she was walking towards us she spilled it on the floor, the sauce was still on the bowl. read more

Michelin? No. Chili's in Modesto? Absolutely. Look, I wasn't expecting greatness -- it's Chili's, not Nobu. But the Modesto Chili's? Whole different beast. Place was packed like a Costco sample aisle on a Saturday. I'm talking chaos. But somehow, the service? Flawless. Our server (summer) was moving like a caffeinated ninja, cool af too. refilling drinks, taking orders, and still smiling like they just got a raise. Now the food -- shockingly amazing. Better than any other Chili's !!! I've been to (yes, even the fancy ones off I-5). Everything came out hot, fast, and seasoned like someone back there actually cares. But the highlight? I asked for chips to go, and they hit me with a bag the size of a toddler. No warning, no extra charge -- just, "Here's some fresh ones to take home." I thought it was a prank. It wasn't. Modesto Chili's, you didn't have to go that hard... but you did. read more

Like many other Chili's restaurants, this one provided a lot of food for a fair price in their daily lunch specials. I tried their smash burger which was okay, but I have enjoyed their Oldtimer's cheeseburger more so in the past. My order of mediocre French fries was about 3-4times as voluminous as necessary. Quantity does not trump quality. Others in the group enjoyed their choices without complaint. The service was excellent with multiple servers doing what needed to be done in a timely and pleasant fashion. The server brought my wife a sundae for her birthday after hearing our gathering was to celebrate it, all meeting here from different directions. Nice surprise. read more

Hubby and I stopped in for a last-minute early dinner. It was nice to see that the facility is still clean and well-maintained. We sat in the bar area, and Sengkeo was our server; I know he has been working here for a long time. He's always very pleasant and efficient. I ordered the Santa Fe salad, and it was 10 out of 10. My husband ordered the Smashburger, and it was 10 out of 10 - the french fries were great too. As for our appetizer, we ordered avocado dip, salsa, and queso dip all were very delicious and will order again! Our dinner and service was definitely 10 out of 10. We will definitely be back. read more

The only reason I'm giving this 3 stars is because our server Kendra was amazing! She was so nice, very attentive and made sure our drinks were always full. She checked on us about 10-12 times. She was well put together, and had a great personality. Now the bad.. we waited for 30 minutes to be seated and when it was our turn, they wanted to seat us in the bar. 1st. There was a game on and it was super loud. 2. We wanted to be able to talk to each other. When we said we didn't want to sit there the attitudes totally changed and started whispering and talking about us. I guess that's what children do. We should have been asked if we wanted to sit in there. There were also way to many people standing around the hostess counter, doing nothing. I've attached a picture. There were a few of them that really need to work on their appearance as well. Not what I want to see when my food is being served. It will be a while before I go back. read more

The food is fairly good. Prices are OK. Drink specials are great. We usually sit at the bar and the service. There is generally good. I'm not up for the dining room and all the families and all the activity much more comfortable in the bar. The bartenders are overall really good and like I said, I do enjoy the drink specials. read more

We were in town visiting a friend, he suggested we go to Chili's because they had some great specials going on. I can't lie I wasn't that excited, because there are not many Chili's in San Jose and the food is just OK. From the minute we arrived they were very friendly, our server was great, he made sure we always had full drinks, the burgers were really good, fries were solid and the salad was real good as well. 3 of us ate for under $50. Yes, I said $50! I've been to high end places that the staff wasn't as friendly or attentive. Wish I knew the young mans name that served us, he did a great job. Seriously, I don't anywhere where you can feed 3 for $50. Kudos to everyone!!!! read more

This was my first time eating at Chili's restaurant. My fiance and I ordered a burger on this particular visit. I ordered Alex's Santa Fe Burger.which was easily the tastiest burger I have put in my mouth in a long time. Perfectly cooked to perfection, the fries were delicious as well. The restaurant looked like it was in need of a new dining area. It looked like it was under construction on the inside. But the burger was amazing. Service was good and for the most part it was a pleasant experience. read more

We enjoyed a nice lunch today. We do our walk at the mall and decided to get a bite to eat, first tired using the Charley's Cheese steak app to order lunch with a 2 for $10 small sandwiches only to continually getting nowhere but problems that wouldn't resolve, so we decided to leave and eat at Chili's across the mall instead, a MUCH BETTER IDEA!!!! Besides that Charley's was disgustingly filthy. Enjoyed a relaxing lunch, having a 3 for ME lunch special. Enjoyed the chips and salsa while waiting for our food. Hubby ordered the cheeseburger and I had the crispy chicken sandwich. Delicious The waiter said we could take one of the orders of chips and salsa home, nice option, Thank you. We ended up taking half our meals home for dinner. Also our waiter gave me a fresh soda to go, nice . Our waiter was Derek, he's -One. We'll make this a good place for future meals. The restaurant was very clean and the staff was very nice and friendly. Thank you for the nice experience. read more

Ordered the steak and the triple dipper always a favorite with door dash. The southwest bites were like burritos and they had a weird taste. the sliders were dry and the bread was hard. i just don't know what is going on with chilis. i was in the restaurant a couple of weeks ago and ordered chicken enchilada soup and it came in a small bowl with no cheese on-top. I'm just so disappointed in chilies. read more

Ribs had very little meat, and what was there was hard. Broccoli cooked nicely, but plain, and fries had a weird taste.

Hugo was a very good server. We only asked him once for something and he took over from there. Excellent service.

Me and my friends come here to eat dinner and hang out. The food is alwayyss good and it's a huge reason for why we keep coming back. It's never busy when we come so their service is welcoming and attentive. I love their mozzarella sticks and their chips/salsa here. Online they have good deals too. read more

Picture it... it's an early Tuesday evening (about 5:00) we walk into the bar area and although the booths and tables were filled (about 6 in total) the bar had nobody sitting at it and the high top tables were empty. So it wasn't busy. It took about almost 10 minutes for us to be acknowledged. Once we were acknowledged we realized that the bartender was also the server and the bartender for the bar and the entire restaurant. We ordered our drinks and appetizer of chips and salsa right away and to our surprise they came out pretty quickly. We ordered our food and waited... and waited... and waited. The table next to us who sat down after us was greeted pretty quickly and they orders after us yeah their food was out about 10 minutes before ours. I ordered a cheeseburger and I must say I was looking forward to this cheeseburger. I was deeply disappointed! The burger was smothered in mustard, the onion and the tomato couldn't even stay on the burger. The shredded lettuce (which I must say has no place on a burger) was wilted and the bun was crisped so bad it was hard. The patty was dry dry dry and the cheese looked like it had been melted and sat under a heating lamp. The fries were the only thing appetizing on the plate. The bartender/server was attentive and made sure our drinks were always full but unfortunately that does not make up for the fact that the food was old dry and really inedible. They did not appear short staffed as there was a lot of employees walking around or in the back yet nobody was really attentive to the dining areas. Pretty sad that the only thing we could really eat was the chips and salsa and fries. read more

We went here spur of the moment. Chilis was able to accommodate a party of 11 for a 30 minute wait or so. We had Priscilla was our server and she was absolutely lovely!! The cutest and she made sure we all had everything we needed. Repeated our order to us to ensure no mess ups. The food was great. The drinks were good. I had a great experience here although I have been to this. chilis so many times! It never really disappoints. I got the chicken bacon ranch quesadilla, with fries and honey mustard on the side. Never fails! Thanks chilis and thanks Priscilla! read more

Chili's , The 3 for me is amazing, the chips and salsa! "Such a steal" The service is good the servers are so attentive and work very hard, and they are worth the 20% tip. The HAPPY HOUR on the weekend is perfect a great way to celebrate. The Ambiance needs an upgrade it nice and could be cleaner and nicer. But overall Chili's is amazing and such a great time, My family and I go at least 1 a week and is always a great option. (if my toddler could speak fresh crayons would be appreciated ) read more

My family lives an hour away from Chilis but once a month we drive to Modesto and visit this Chilis every time. Chilis is affordable and delicious!! Also great atmosphere for a family which we love. This weekend our server was Matt and he was such a great human and wonderful server - thank you Matt! As for the food we are happy every single time - this is great American food. I would recommend to everyone. read more
