    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Great service as always. Sit in the bar area as there's lots of space. We love this Chili's and will be back again and again and again!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Ended up with 3 random dipping sauces instead of the 2 sauces that I ordered.

The queso is a must. I loaded that on the tacos with hot sauce & it was ‍ ! The service here was really great from start to finish from recommendations, getting us more napkins, and refilling our hibiscus limeades to go. Super pleasant experience.

We ordered: *Tijuana Panther: I had this on a corn tortilla. It felt dry and lacked flavor. *Chips & Queso: Pretty solid, and the small order came with a generous portion. *Crispy Potatoes: The first batch was soft instead of crispy. We mentioned it to the staff, and they made a fresh batch right away, which was delicious. The sauce it comes with is great too. They have a self-serve area for water and condiments. You bus your own table, but the employees still went above and beyond. A couple of them checked in on us while we were eating. When I asked for a to-go box, they packed a bag with chips on top of the containers without me asking. Really thoughtful. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, and the space feels open and bright. Overall, the employees were phenomenal, and service was quick. The food, though, is just okay.
