Best service I've had yet!!! Andrew took very good care of us and ensured everything was quick and professional

Sometimes you just really need a triple dipper...and Chili's does not disappoint! Our waiter was fantastic for our group of 8 with 3 kids. He was very attentive, was on it for drink refills and didn't keep the kids waiting for their food so there were lots of happy campers! I ordered the mozzarella sticks, buffalo wings and southwestern egg rolls on my triple dipper and the mozz sticks and wings definitely stood out - they both were fried perfectly with just enough sauce! We came right at prime dinner time so it was pretty crowded and busy, but we didn't really have to wait long for a table (long enough to move enough tables together and wipe them down). We came to celebrate a kid's birthday so they sang to the kid in our group and got him a celebratory ice cream scoop. The chips and salsa were flowing and it was a great time amongst friends! The parking here was pretty good as well and the bathrooms were pretty clean. Definitely recommend coming to this location. read more

Sat down pretty quickly on a midweek lunch visit--no long wait, which was nice. Food came out in about 20 minutes, decent pace for a busy spot. We ordered the steak and chicken fajitas, chicken tenders, and Margarita Chicken. Honestly, the chicken dishes were pretty similar -- the only real difference was a bit of lime sauce on one of them. The steak was well done but surprisingly juicy. The chicken itself was pretty bland aside from that lime kick on one plate. No more free chips and salsa, I guess they phased that out a while back. Sides were the usual beans and rice -- nothing special. Total came out to about $68 (~$20 per person), which feels pretty average for Chili's these days. Overall, it was okay, but nothing great. If I compare it to actual Mexican-style restaurants around here, it doesn't quite meet that level of flavor and seasoning. Would I come back? Probably in a pinch if I'm craving something familiar and quick, but it's not a destination spot for me anymore. read more

Service was good here, our waitress got to us when we needed her. The inside was really dirty, we did get there later in the evening but still dang! This red needs a paint join and a deep cleaning. The food was 6/10 good. Mozz sticks were delicious Chicken bacon ranch nachos were just okay and seemed like a small amount for the price. The baby back ribs were delicious but barely any meat on them. The tenders and fries were hot and fresh. I didn't love the Mac n cheese. I'm giving it a 3 star, everything was edible and enjoyable but not overwhelmed, and it was really dirty from the sticky floors to the loop smeared on the bathroom wall. read more

Chili's Oceanside stays in our regular rotation for a reason. It's not the fanciest, it's not a Mom and pop, but you know exactly what you're gonna get and there's something for everybody, especially for my kiddo who can be a really picky eater. We usually go for the menu deal (appetizer + entrée, always a win), and my son loves it here because the kids' meal options are great. This visit, we also treated ourselves to the molten chocolate lava cake... and wow. Zero regrets. The service was quick, friendly, and on point.. we like that they usually have the sports game you wanna watch on TV, reasonable cocktails, and a great happy hour, and drinks refilled fast, food came out fresh, and everything ran smoothly. It's an easy, family-friendly spot that consistently delivers, and it's definitely wallet-friendly too. read more

My sister and I came in to order to-go for some mozzarella. Rita was amazing! Great conversation and made sure we felt taken care of. In terms of food this has been the best chilis I've been to so far. Lisa also served me at the bar and I've never seen someone hustle as hard as she did. Both amazing ladies! read more

Gosh where do I begin. Came in to celebrate a graduation and we were a large party (11 people). The hostess was nice and helpful and we were seated pretty quickly, I'd say we only waited about 15 minutes, not bad. We get to the table a take our seat, we were greeted by someone who took our drink orders and never came back. When our drinks came out, one was missing and two were wrong and a different person brought them out to us. It took about 10 minutes to find someone else to even ask for the missing drink. We didn't even bother with the wrong drinks because we could tell they were struggling already. Missing drink finally came out 5 minutes later. I received my order and it was pretty good, the fries were hot and fresh and the burger was good too. I flagged someone down to ask for water and when the cup arrived it had some kind of white gunk on the rim. I was immediately disgusted. I wiped it off to see if it would come off and it did but I just didn't even want to drink it. I had to use the bathroom so I walked in and the stall had no paper or seat liners, so I went to the second and only other stall and the same thing; no toilet paper and no seat liners either. Absolutely ridiculous, there was dry blood on the walls next to the toilet paper dispenser and the lock on the door was all wet, I can only imagine what it was. This place is beyond disgusting and I would not recommend it to anyone. I will not be returning not even if my next 5 meals were free. read more

Food was good, but I order meals to go from this location quite often and 8 out of 10 times the order does not come out correct. Tonight's order the side was clearly ordered as mash potatoes and that was missing and fries put in the order instead. If the sides are correct they do not make the burger correctly. The receipt shows the way the order should be and the items are highlighted as if it was checked. The food quality is good but the frustrations are just not worth my time anymore. read more

We got there about 5 o'clock. Parking lot was packed walked in was seated quickly. Our server agreed to this promptly took our order which include included chips and salsa, iced tea and fajitas for two Server even asked if we wanted chips or salsa and we said yes Iced tea and water came out quickly even our refills we started wondering where our chips and salsa was when our food actually arrived. We've ordered fajitas before they've never come out this quick and we're talking less than 8 to 10 minutes. Server asked if she could bring anything else. I said you can cancel the chips and salsa, and she looked at me acknowledging she had forgotten to bring them out. Service was pretty good at with other than that mistake. The food was excellent. We were in and out in less than 45 minutes. Kind of missed the chips and salsa. read more

I ordered the smashed burger, but need to return because it's undercooked and the bun was soaked in oil. The chef/manager Spencer personally stepped in, and not only did he remake it, he made a bigger much better burger. He even told me my bill was on the house. He was incredibly nice and understanding! Such a sweet guy! Shout out to our server Martin as well, who is polite and attentive! Great customer service all around! read more

I think the last time I was at Chili's was back in 2013 near buena park after howie's game shack, so it's been a while and not saying that the only reason I'm back is the Triple Dipper but damn! Social media has really help on influencing me to try it! My bestie and I, has been sending back and forth on other IG accounts reels about it and the day came to finally trying it out. We went on a Monday, no need to be on waitlist and was seated right away. Services was great, our server was attentive the place wasn't too crown nor loud for a Monday night. Of course, we went in August so the Mango Mambo Marg $6 and that drink is HUGE! (see picture) and not sure if we had a great bartender but that drink was really good. Perfect ratio of sweet and tequila. For me, I ordered the Triple Dipper with the following three choices of: Big Bites (Would not get, it was really salty but then again, i'm just salt sensitive), fried mozzarella (10/10 would get again) and Nashville hot chicken tenders with sauce on the side. I just like my tenders to be crunchy and control how much sauce to dip. Now, I wouldn't want to get this every day nor week, once in a couple of months to catch up with my besties along with alcohol. read more

MANAGEMENT' BILLING ISSUES DIRTY OVERPRICED - SLOW 2 major things happened: 1. The iPads on the table for the tipping percentages were NOT on percent amounts, but dollar amounts! They stated they were percentages, but 18% on $75 is NOT $18, - 20% on $75 is NOT $20, and So on. I have pictures. 2nd issue, we ordered the combo - appetizer + main course for one set price, - no - it broke apart our entire order and charged us individually for everything at full price. Then when I asked to pay in cash, he said only if I had exact change. WHAT!?!?!? I will never be going back for OVERPRICED MEDIOCRE food, with FILTHY walls at the booth we were sitting in, it was an overall horrible waste of time and disgusting experience. Worst $100 I've ever spent! The ONLY positive was our server, which none of this was his fault. We were one of 5 sets of people there, so he had time. After BOTH managers were at the computer with him for what seemed like 15 minutes straightening out the bill situation, I then had the tipping issue, all while neither manager bothered to come talk to us. Also, their premade pre frozen dessert pie slices are $12 each! Everything about this place was gross and ridiculous! Do not recommend! read more

Chili's is a go to for me quite often. The 3 for ME meal is one of the best deals on the market. I get a burger, fries, a drink, and a starter (salad) for $10-$11 bucks. Service is hit or miss but the food is always solid. The place it self was clean and I had a good experience. read more

Big parking lot in the shopping ctr. Lots of spaces on memorial day. We were seated immediately and tended to immediately. A variety of seating available and we were seated at a booth. Hubby ordered a beer and I ordered unsweetened tea. We were hungry but didn't want to over order and have extra food. We ordered an appetiser to share We got three dippers. We got southwest egg rolls, chicken crisper and the sliders. We also ordered chips and salsa to share. Service Is fantastic though food is nothing to shout about. Our chips were good. Salsa mot that great The chicken crisper was super crispy and fresh- a little dry and salty. We did love the sliders though 10 out of 10 for sliders We didn't order anything extra. Our server topped up our drinks when she noticed it was low. And also brought us a variety of sauces Perfect service. read more

After a long day at the fair 6 Plus hours, my wife and I decided on the way home to stop by Chili's. What a delight. We sat in the bar. Watched the Padre game along with fajitas for two. Absolutely delicious! This service was impeccable. Lisa was our waitress and really outdid herself! The ambience of the bar was pretty darn cool with all the TVs going watching the Padre game everybody hooting and hollering. Great job! Chili's! read more

Probably the worst Chili's I've been to. We were sat down and a server did not greet us or take our food/drink order until 15-20 minutes later. We had so many workers pass by us without any type of acknowledgment. Our food took 40 minutes to come out from the time we ordered and we were a party of two. Once our food arrived, my order was incorrect and I had informed a server about it. Ten minutes passed and there was no update but we saw the server helping other customers. I think she forgot about the issue with the order. Ate the food as it arrived, but was disappointed that my order was incorrect. Servers looked stressed and the place seemed understaffed. There were times where the place looked packed and there wasn't an employee in sight. Overheard a few employees complaining about the customers and how they were upset about their food not coming out. When our server was clearing our table, she dropped a few utensils and almost knocked over our glasses. She apologized but you could tell that she was stressed and in a rush. We felt bad for her because she was running around the entire time we were sat down. I don't think it was her fault, but more the fault of the management for understaffing the shift. The food here was on par with other Chili's locations I've been to. If it wasn't for the extremely slow service and lack of attention from the servers, we would have had a decent experience. We will not be returning. read more

Thank you Sandra for taking my call and updating my Togo order of ribs to dry ribs and the sauce on the side. #RIPtexasdryrub.

Arrived at 11:30am on a Wednesday for a company luncheon. There were 16 of us. Walked in and the hostess was ready for us and had already set up our table. Angelique was our waitress. She immediately took our drink orders and brought out a few baskets of chips and salsa for the table while we waited for the rest of our group to arrive. She took our orders and got them all back to the kitchen. The food arrived soon after. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Angelique was so attentive and brought out drink refills without us even having to ask. Even with our large group she came out with extra napkins, utensils, straws. We hardly had to ask for anything. She had it all there for us. I've never had a bad experience at this Chilis. The staff, food and service is always top notch. PS - Don't pass up on the Molten Chocolate cake. It's soo good. read more

Rita at To Go was absolutely AMAZING!!! From the moment we walked in she made us feel so welcomed. She answered all of my questions with so much patience and never once made me feel rushed. Her energy was through the roof and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and it truly made our whole experience better. Customer service like that is rare these days! Thank you, Rita, for being so kind, positive, and attentive -- you're the reason we'll definitely be coming back!!! read more

It's been a long time since I've been to Chili's, but I've heard that they are really turning things around so I decided to try them again. Things have really improved. I had the "3 for Me" special and it was spectacular for the price. A juicy, well seasoned smash burger, a generous side of seasoned fries, a soda with refills, a mountain of chips and salsa all for $11.90 before tip! The chips and salsa were just ok, but everything was great. I'm going to try a different option for the appetizer next time I go, and I for sure will be going back. Service was great. I got welcomed and seated immediately. My waitress checked in on me a couple times and refilled my drink. Table was bussed as soon as I was done. Everyone was friendly. The food came about 5 minutes after I ordered. I couldn't ask for better service. Ambiance is typical for a chain restaurant. I will say though that the restaurant was clean, and so was the restroom. Also, parking was easy. It's and easy pick for a fast lunch. read more

Our server Luis was excellent, great attitude and service. Will definitely be returning soon!

Chili's is always good. Decent price and large portions as well. It's one of our go to restaurants for sure.

Had a great experience at Chili's Grill & Bar - Oceanside right off the 78. We walked in around 2:30-3:00 p.m. on a Saturday and were honestly expecting a bit of a wait since it's the weekend, but we got seated immediately. Our table and menus were ready, and we were greeted right at the door. Service was quick from start to finish, the food came out fast, and everything tasted great. Luis was our server and he did a phenomenal job -- super attentive and on top of everything. Really smooth experience all around. Definitely appreciated the great service. read more

We decided to visit the Chili's restaurant in Oceanside, CA located on Vista Way. We arrived at 11:30 am, a half an hour after opening. The hostess saw us enter and instead of greeting us, she looked at us with a blank stare as if we were invisible. Not a good  start. I  asked if we could get a table for two. She proceeded to walk us to our table. The restaurant was fairly empty. Unfortunately, she decided to seat us right next to the entry doors of the kitchen, putting us next to a busy area with a lot of foot traffic. Oh well, looking on the brighter side of things, maybe we'll get our food faster. We were greeted promptly by our server, who took our drink orders. She gave us time to look over the menu and after bringing our drinks in a timely manner, took our food orders. We opted for the Santa Fe Salad and the Ultimate Smokehouse Combo. Our food arrived in a reasonable amount of time and after providing us with extra napkins and refilling our drinks, we were ready to dig in.  The Santa Fe Salad consisted of tender grilled chicken, mixed greens, pico de gallo, avocado slices, cilantro, crispy tortilla strips, spicy Santa Fe sauce and a side of house-made ranch dressing. The salad was well portioned for the price. The only criticism if any was that they went heavy on the  Santa Fe sauce, making the salad a little too spicy for my taste.  Luckily, the side of ranch dressing toned the spicy flavor down a bit. I would recommend asking for the spicy Santa Fe Sauce on the side so that it gives you more control over the heat level.  Would I order this again?...probably not. I can usually handle spicy food, but when it comes to a salad, the spice should be there to accent the flavor, not overpower it.  The other dish we ordered was the Ultimate Smokehouse Combo. This was a very well portioned platter that consisted of a half order of honey chipotle ribs, tender chicken crispers,  jalapeno-cheddar smoked sausage, roasted corn on the cob, french fries and a slice of Texas toast. There are other options of choice for protein and sides available for this platter, so be sure to check the menu or ask your server. The favorites were the sweet and juicy ribs and the well seasoned corn on the cob. There was so much food, we took the leftovers to go. Overall, I would say the portions of food were spot on for the price and our server did a great job checking on us periodically and topping off our drinks. Just make sure to come here with a big appetite. read more

I enter the store, there are two sizable parties ahead of me. I'm a party of one, so I understand that they get service first Two groups of 5-7 enter after me and have to wait to be helped. Understandable, it's a sunday and its packed. The smaller group in before me then get seated and situated. Thats good, how it should be. Smaller group that entered after me is asked if they've been helped, they say no and get seated and serviced... Kinda weird but a few groups had left, so still a good sign! Second group after me gets helped, and seated and a couple more groups enter. Very weird vut but so long as things keep moving, I guess. Third group in after me heads to the bathroom, leaving just me and two large groups one in before and one in after me. One of the servers look to me and ask me directly if I've been helped, I say I haven't! The server then turns to the fourth group after me and goes to seat and service them instead. I leave the store since god forbid ONE PERSON gets helped before the 15 other people behind him. Instead of having a bunch of blobs at the door, try an actual line or queue system. I am one guy, just looking to have dinner after a horrible day of a horrible month. The bar is so low it is in hell, but everyone wants to play limbo apparently. read more

Natalie was a baddie, hair long, body tea service was amazing not once was our drinks empty! Will be coming back, stay gorgeous queen

If I could rate this server a 0 I would . We came to chilies because we love coming here but this was one of the WORST experience we've received. The waiter never checked in on us and forgot about our drinks we were basically done when she decided to bring our drinks and we sent them back . Then she came once we were completely done to ask how everything was going, she never apologized and her excuse was she was busy on the other side of the restaurant when in fact I saw her talking with her coworkers for a good 5 minutes doing nothing . The waiters name was Jaime and she was absolutely the worst server. read more
