Chili's - Classic Sirloin* - Tex-Mex Near Me - Reading, Massachusetts

Fast and officiant, I had a Caesar salad which is always good! Waitstaff is nice , no complaints

This place is very popular with several people I work with. I've never been a fan of Chili's. However my review is for this location only. Each time I've been here the service itself has been friendly & usually attentive. Although I remember that once we ordered appetizers - they were delivered to the table & not being able to locate our server I did need to actually get up to locate silverware... meanwhile the food cooled ...not good. * I've written previously regarding this dilemma... Wondering if it's some kind of in- house prank? to see what people will do? My estimation is that the food is high calorie / high fat which just isn't my thing. I don't care how cheap - low priced you make it. Ok, I will admit that I've been known to succumb to chips & salsa in moderation. Mixed drinks are so-so.. nothing special..lots of ice & no taste. But then again the price point is low/moderate. And you can save more if you get on their email list.. In sum : it's a convenient place to meet up with friends after work . read more

My wife's boyfriend JJ was in town for the weekend so I decided to take a trip down memory lane and head to Chili's with them. The soyboy based options were pretty good. Nachos were sub optimal. I got woozy off two IPAs, big oof. The wife didn't like the food that much unfortunately but her bf got the dessert which was tasty. read more

Chili's chain Not bad for a Chili's and really, there is not a lot to do in this area but I managed to have fun in this location... Having been in the area for a business thing, I was looking for a place to eat and since the offerings are limited to my hotel (no way) and some other chains, I tried this one as it had the most cars in the lot... Got a spot right away at the bar and the bartender was right on the money with the service. They were having some sort of team trivia thing so I helped the 3 guys next to me and we had a good laugh - The food is standard Chili's offerings so don't expect much. The really nice thing, and this may be at every Chili's but not sure, is that after 9pm there is another happy hour complete with cheap appetizers - so you can totally chow down on the calories then go right to bed... Parking around the perimiter. read more

Come here w family. You need to get the right dish but if you do, good times. Better than similar in this class.

Worst Chilis I've been to, our waiter yelled at my friend after asking her about an error on the receipt. She only showed up to our table about three times all together through the night. The food was mushy and undercooked especially the hamburger it was basically raw. And not to mention when I asked for a pen the manager pulled one out from her bra and handed it to me. 10/10 do not recommend this place read more

Got seated for the past 20 minutes plus and we never got served. Not even hi would you like a drink. Everyone just walked by and go to the monitor at the window and ran food. Either they have with an asian chick trying to get food. Whatever it is, I'm not sitting their like a beggar. read more

The bartender (with the blue hair and eyeglasses) sucks. Made me wait for 20 mins to take my order while she just ignored me. Finally, I had to speak up loudly for her to take my order. She then handed me my drink glass while putting her fingers all over the drinking rim so I had to drink whatever germs were on her fingers. She finally served my food, never said please, thank you, or do you need anything else. I had no silverware or napkins - all the time she walks back and forth, ignoring me. Finally got silverware and napkins from some other person working there. I ordered Sante Fe chicken salad. It was supposed to have avocado and other stuff. All I got was a plate of old iceberg lettuce rinds and chicken swimming in a soup of grotesque amounts of dressing. The only time the waitress paid any attention to me is when she handed me the bill and probably expected a tip - I gave her a tip commensurate with her service - ZERO. read more

I've never had Chilis before but it looked like a standard chain and since we were pressed for time we decided to pop in for lunch. We started with the fried asparagus without any jalapeños because my wife and I don't really like spicy food. It was okay but it didn't stand out. I thought there would be a little more flavor. We also had the Texas fries! These were awesome! Lots of bacon and melted cheese. I would recommend this for an app over the fried asparagus. My wife had the guacamole burger. It was unevenly cooked. Half the burger was medium rare and half was medium well. That said she still ate the whole thing. One note about the presentation: don't put a small/ medium sized burger on a large plate. The scaling throws off the presentation and makes it seem smaller than it actually is. I had the ribs! I thought they were solid! The meat fell off the bone and the sauce was just spicy enough. I really enjoyed them. Our server Kim was really friendly and she kept our drinks full! A few adjustments but overall a positive experience! We will return for lunch! read more

So we returned to this Chili's for a charity event, and it's still quite the disappointment. The fries with all the meals were luke warm, and we received this sad, burnt little piece of ribs. The burger was barely warm as well. The ribs were replaced, but with this restaurant, there always seems to be something wrong with your meal. The management also still let's people use chewing tobacco in the bar area. We can gladly say this was our final visit to Chili's. read more

Kevin is a hard worker and answered all my questions. He is a great waiter. He was very helpful and made us feel really comfortable.

Good old cliché. Would rate zero stars if I could. Delivery guy went to the wrong address. No idea where. Called the delivery and he wouldn't respond. Called the restauran, some very rude person flippantly answered the phone and was incredibly unhelpful. I would not order from here if you expect to get your food. And clearly the team needs basic customer experience training because that call was the cherry on top of a bad experience. Took it from bad to worse. read more

It's sad that we have been dining at chilis in reading ma since they opened. Today I walked in to have dinner and the hostess after telling her dinner for 2 . She programs a robot and places our menus on top of a non human device to seat us. And says follow the robot.I don't blame the young woman she was pleasant.But following a device that has no human essence and equiped with no human expression or projecting human emotion. I will never again set foot in a cooperate greed restruant that uses a device to phase out human dignity and employment just thinking of profit not for the benefit of our future generations who would need a working start.

Took forever to be waited on. A party came in well after we did and got their food before we even gave our order. Food was good, as usual. Finally got waited on. Asked to have the table tablet exchanged for a working one. Twice. Twice promised to get us one. Never happened. I was out of my first soda for quite a while. No offer for another one. Lunch finished...finally a waitress comes by and asks if I want another soda. Now I've been waiting for the check for 20 minutes and counting. Awful service. read more

Been here for 2 hours and everyone else is already finished eating. Would not recommend if you want fast and reliable service.

Can't say enough good things about my experience. CINDY was AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING. I left a review on the kiosk but had to be sure she was recognized for her hard work. She knew the menu like the back of her hand. Was able to recommend customized drink combinations and had a smile throughout the entire experience. Not only with our table, but her interaction with all the guests, in her section and other servers sections, was truly commendable. You have a good server on your hands! Also, the food was amazing! The drinks, can't beat a $5 marg! read more

Went to a Chili's about two months ago in another town and was about to give up! Went to this one with my boyfriend for date night and it was awesome!!!! Chili's re-newed their menu and it's amazing! The waiter was awesome as was the food! They also have a new trivia game at every table that's really fun!! I'd definitely go back.. read more

It's a damn Chili's for god's sake. Do I really need to review it? Answer: Yes. The best thing about this Chili's is the service. Our waitress was pleasant, knowledgeable and the food came out in a timely fashion. It was slightly inedible, but I knew that going in. Chili's is a great place to meet a group of friends to eat mediocre chain restaurant food and drink a couple beers. All the while in the company of everyone you went to high school with. Good times. Also, they now hold the door for you on the way in and on the way out. I thought the host was hitting on me, but he did it for everyone. Motherfucker. read more

My husband doesn't like chain restaurants, but Chili's is okay with him. I think he likes the tall beers and margaritas. But enough about him. I usually come in for lunch, although I have had more than a few diners here too . The lunch specials are great and the food is better than average. The servers are attentive and helpful when it comes to ingredients and how things are prepared. One time I wanted to try the cookie in a skillet dessert but asked if I could get it crispy instead of chewy and was informed that since they microwave the cookie, there is really no way to make it crispy. I said that was fine, but a minute later, the server was back to say they were going to try it in the oven. Well, she was back a few minutes later to tell me that it hadn't gone well, so they were going to just prepare one the usual way, which turned out to be fine. I did appreciate everyone trying to get me something the way I requested it, and had to laugh at the updates. I also enjoy the Presidente Margarita and enjoy watching the servers shake-shake-shake my margarita (extra points for panache!). My favorites are the Quesadilla Explosion Salad and the chicken tortilla soup. The burgers are decent but stay away from the chicken strips and many of the fried things as they come out super greasy. Oh, I almost forgot my most favorite thing - the Southwest Eggrolls are awesome! Sure, maybe a little greasy, but they are served with a lovely ranch-y dipping sauce and heartburn be damned, they are yummy! Glasses for water and soda are large so you don't have to pester your server for refills very often, but refills are free. What else to say? I guess that I have dined at quite a few Chili's and found them to be pretty generic. The extra star for this review is for the staff at the Reading location. read more

The hostess looked extremely unhappy to be there but Christine, our waitress, was very nice/upbeat. We were seated quickly even though we were told there would be a 30 minute wait. The lack of vegetarian options means I always end up ordering a black bean burger. Although, it is great that there are so many black bean options. The waitress was very attentive and made sure we were happy. I felt slightly sick after eating so many french fries but that was my own fault. I love how reasonable the prices are and recommend stopping by Jordan's for the water show after your meal. Enjoy! read more

Hit Chili's in Reading, MA before checking out 'Alice in Wonderland' at the Reading IMAX. Ya know...I don't think Johnny Depp is typecast into these "unique" roles: Sweeney Todd, Jack Sparrow, Willy Wonka, The Mad Hatter I think he must be like that in real life, so it comes easy. Directors are probably like: "Ok Johnny...you know the drill...act like you're a metrosexual on crack...again." Oh right...Chili's. Chili's is one of those places that I could always take or leave. I've been there my share of times...and never really walk outta there amazed. But Chili's has survived the test of several years...and they never seem to be hurtin' for patrons. I am sure that the full bar helps... I had the Chicken Crispers...which amount to boneless chicken wings...but these are a bit unique and have always been a go-to meal when I come here. Our waiter pointed out the new menu...which did include some new dishes...but kept most of their meals from what I could see. I tried something new, however, Honey-Chipotle Chicken Crispers... These were actually really good, sweet with just a hint of spicy...and comes with enough of its own sauce that you don't need the ranch sauce that comes with it. This meal also includes skin-on fries and corn on the cob. Not fresh corn on the cob like you would get in season...it's the jank cob, like you would get at KFC's. Well...this might be a click or two better than the KFC excuse for corn of the cob I spose. Normally...skin-on fries I am a big fan of. Five Guys does them well...Chili's does not. All three members in my dining party didn't eat these. Ketchup and salt don't even save them. This could have been a two star...as definitely...meh, I've had better. But since I do like the chicken crispers...and somehow find myself eating/drinking at this place on an irregular basis, I will round up. read more

My new go-to restaurant. It's the 99 with better drinks and more food options. Always consistent. Great lunch time deals and happy hour food deals. read more

Service and cleanliness top notch. The dry rubbed ribs however could be used as a cow salt lick. My blood pressure spiked before I finished half a rack. Otherwise ok. I did like the coleslaw. read more

Fast, easy, good. I'm talking about lunch, so get your mind out of the gutter! I'm not creative when dining here, I always get the lunch combo which comes with bottomless everything, although, if you take advantage YOU will not be bottomless. I get the cesar salad, soup and chips. I have rarely gotten seconds on any of it, even when pregnant, so the portions aren't skimpy. Great, speedy lunch place, and they don't rush you if you don't want to be speedy. I know it's a chain, but I still like it here! Super cheap beer too, even though I have partaken due to my noon arrivals. PS. Always free chips and salsa if you sit in the bar. read more

After a late night trip to Home Depot which shares the parking lot with Chili's, my hubby and I stopped in for a quick dinner. It was a random Wednesday night at 9pm, so there was mostly an adult crowd with a couple tables of teeny boppers too young to appreciate authentic Chili mixers. We walked in and the front teenage hostesses were confused and arguing about table numbers and where to put my party of 2. Really, these little girls are just wasting customers' time and their haggling should have been done outside. I had the bottomless blackberry ice tea (yum) and the regular nachos. The nachos were 10 separate chips with separate toppings, not the pile up mess of toppings and chips you would find at everyday-faux-texmex. It was ordinary as expected. They ran out of the awesome blossom. Stupid. The only saving grace was the several refills of ice tea I garnered. read more

The waitresses and barstaff here are excellent. I went a few weeks ago and I had the best waitress ever. Then last night, I came in and found out it was trivia night. I've ordered the Country Fried Steak (Great), Nachos and Boneless Buffalo Wings. They have been pretty good for what I was expecting. They have awfully good beer specials for Sam Adams, Coors Light and Miller Light. Much cheaper than what I'm used to. The chilis in Danvers is below average, this one is exceptional. Don't hesitate to come in on Tuesday for trivia night. read more

I've been to Chili's all over the country, usually only if where I am traveling to has no local options. Should that be the case for visiting this Reading location you will get a meal for a good value (only hotel in walking distance is the Clarion Inn). They are in range of Uber too. For beer they offer a dozen beers in 16 or 22 Oz glasses, only two local beers - - this really is a Bud or Coors light kinda place. On this visit I chose their new soft tacos. You can choose a combination, in my case I chose Pork, Shrimp, and Tilapia. The shrimp and pork are sure bets. Also the Pico de Gallo (fresh salsa) is what made these Tacos. As for negatives the fish was a bit watery. Also the accompanying rice was undercooked and dry with no seasoning. The black beans were alright and had some spice. Beer is cheap, 3.29 for 22oz makes it the cheapest bar in the area. But it does close early and I have heard from others that they do a 2-3 drink max as corporate policy. read more

They claim to have nachos on the menu THEY DO NOT. It's some disgusting mess where they give you chips laid out with pathetic toppings dumped on top. read more

I went here for my friend's birthday this past Saturday for the first time. First we were seated in the front corner window at a table big enough for only two (there were four of us total). It smelt like a dirty diaper, no joke. We all noticed this and were pretty much disgusted so we then requested to be sat at another table near us that looked more capable. From the look on her face, the waitress pretty much thought we were being ridiculous until we explained that three of us were ordering burritos and that alone would take up much of the table. My food was great, and so was everyone else's. However, the waitress bent over to pick something up off the table and poured water from her pitcher onto my purse, jacket, and lap. I was soaked. She apologized but I wasn't feeling it. Had it been some other liquid, or if my phone had been in my purse...the shit would have hit the fan. Bathroom was nasty. Hostesses need some finishing school. There you go. read more

I went here about two weeks ago with my girlfriend and our two friends. Now I've been to this Chilis numerous times as I just live in the next town over and it's always been good with courteous service. This time things were different. Our server was next to awful. She brought my girlfriend a salad with shrimp instead of chicken like she asked. The plate was presented as a mistake in the kitchen and we were asked if the shrimp was ok or if it should be replaced. Not being too picky and not trying be a bother my girlfriend took the shrimp. Then when we ordered another round of drinks (3 beers) we all asked for 12oz drafts. I ended up getting a 16oz from the waitress because she said they ran out of small glasses. I took it and figured I'd still get charged for a 12oz. Nope! Needless to say when the bill came I was charged for that 16oz beer when I asked for a 12oz and my girlfriend was charged for shrimp and not chicken. I've worked in restaurants and I know how things work when taking orders. This girl plain messed up, tried to blame it on somebody else, then passed the monetary mistakes onto us so we'd have a higher bill. Not right in my book. read more

Food at Chili's has improved significantly. I eat here and get takeout occasionally when at work. I would recommend eating here more than getting take out. Once I ordered 3 meals for my coworkers and I, and I ended up waiting 20 minutes inside the restaurant for them to figure it out. I was halfway back to my office when I realized that there were no drinks, so I had to turn around. Then they put the drinks in kiddie cups, when the menu says 32 oz. Most of the time, this place is decent! I like the avocado bacon chicken sandwich. read more

Did I say competitive pricing in my previous review? I want there last night. I have not been there in years. Let me tell you, I have not missed much. I spend almost 30 dollars for food and drinks just on myself. That would have been fine in most situations. But when the steak with avocado is only a six oz steak, avocado is extra, the nachos only have like 10 on the plate with cheese, and you get 2 shorties with a beer selection that is small and not that great, you've spend of few dollars more than you should have. Maybe the fajita's are still good, but the price and quality is rather disappointing. I don't know what to say only that there are so many other good bar and grills around. This place used to be at the top of the list, but not anymore. Thank god this place has a good location or it probably would be out of business compared to some of the other places around. Three stars is ok overall, but when you consider places like Buffalo Wild Wings with their big screens and Yard House with their beer selection, who really cares about Chili's? read more

We waited over 20 minutes with 2 small children and they had over 10 tables clean and empty. Our waiter was horrible and only came back when it was time for his tip. My burger was a mess fell apart in my hands. Host and hostess were horrible no one said 'thank you come again' as we left...don't worry it will be our last visit read more

Chili's has a place in my heart for having great margaritas and the most addictive chips you'll ever have. That's all I come here for, in fact. It's a nice place to get happy. The rest of the food is kind of blah. They won't let you order your burger anything but well done, which is a pet peeve of mine. Almost all other restaurants print that little disclaimer and let me slowly kill myself with undercooked meet, but not Chili's. The fried food always tastes like the oil needs to be cleaned, not at all appetizing. Trust me, stick to the margaritas and chips and you'll be a happy camper. read more

Chili's.... I'm really not a huge fan. This location seems to be the local watering hole, which is cool - but doesn't at all endear it to me. I hate that there is never parking (literally everybody who goes to the bar MUST drive individual cars there...) and the food is really only so-so. There isn't much to say. We have the same waitress, sometimes, they are sometimes funny, sometimes easy going, don't really seem to remember individuals (unless you grew up with them) but remember loud obnoxious groups of people who drank $2 drafts all night long. But, hey, man, we tip well. In my opinion the food is not worth the price they ask, and the service isn't good enough to gain this location a place on the list of "places to wet your whistle when up 93" and so... I will go there when my friends are there, and will avoid it at all costs otherwise. read more
