Triple Dipper
Ginger P.

I love that Chilis has totally revived their reputation lately. This visit I tried the famous triple dipper. The Nashville mozzarella sticks were great in the ranch, and I loved their cheese pull. Honey chipotle crispers were also good, the sauce is addicting. Egg rolls were good too. They have other good lunch deals, which the triple dipper isn't a part of, but this is still worth ordering. The items are sky high in sodium for sure (and calories!) but I don't regret it.

Chili's at the Sports Arena is where corporate America and parental survival instincts meet in a fluorescent détente. You don't come here for nuance. You come here because your children are forty five minutes past their feeding window and the tablets on the table are basically federally approved pacifiers with touchscreens. Tap a few buttons, hand them over, and suddenly the dining room becomes a monastery of quiet, glowing faces. It's not elegant, but it is effective. The staff has the thousand yard stare of people who have seen every possible spill, tantrum, and chicken tender-related meltdown. They don't judge. They don't flinch. They simply glide through the chaos with the resigned grace of seasoned zookeepers. These are professionals who know that a family of five at 6:45 PM is not here to make memories. They are here to survive. And yes, Chili's has shed its once sprawling, early nineties fever dream of a menu. Back then it read like a culinary encyclopedia written by someone who had only heard rumors about other cultures. Today it's tighter. Leaner. Focused. Burgers. Chicken tenders. Fajitas. The holy trinity. The things Chili's was born to do. No one is sous viding anything. No one is shaving truffles. This is Chili's, sir. And then, like a hymn rising from the booth behind you, the ancient melody returns: I want my baby back, baby back, baby back... It's less a jingle and more a cultural artifact at this point. A ritual. A reminder that Chili's has been part of the American fabric longer than some states have had decent broadband. Pro tip from a dad who has logged the hours: Join the rewards program. Every visit comes with a free trough of chips and salsa. A bottomless morale booster. A peace offering to the table gods. Three and a half stars, rounded up to four because nothing in this world is more beautiful than children who are fed, quiet, and momentarily content.

Big Smasher Burger
Julia G.

After a day at the beach we stopped by Chili's. Literally my third time at a Chili's and it was really good. I ordered a smash burger and fries. Fries were too salty so they gave me a new batch and they were amazing with the burger sauce to dip them in. Highly recommend. My friend got the Cajun shrimp pasta and he liked it but also said his was a tad salty too. That didn't stop him from finishing the whole plate! Our server was the best! So attentive and kind. We were blessed for sure.

Triple Dipper
Dexter B.

Came here on Monday with my gf and her sister, possibility of short staff issue but wait time was a little long for not being busy. Parties that came after us were helped and seated by other hostesses before us until our original host never came back to us. The food tasted the same as any other Chili's location I've been to, so no major comments there.

3 for me. Burger and fries choice of a starter and a drink. Burger and fries were good!!
Christina L.

I will admit chili's has gotten a lot better with their food items. There's a lot more options available. They have some great choose 3 options for a good price. The staff here generally are pleasant. Lots seating. Place is pretty clean. In the times I've been here I have gotten seated pretty quick even with a group Food came within a reasonable time especially when it's busy. Servers are pretty consistent with being attentive. Overall no complaints.

Trio special, shark attack cocktail & burger
Jana N.

I have always really enjoy Chili's and it brings with it some nostalgia to high school days. They always have great deals, is a great place to meet up with people and have some good drinks and watch sports. This Midway location is pretty convenient and even though it was quite crowded, we were able to sit in the bar area. Our server was a super nice, chill guy who was very good at his job. As usual, we ordered one of the specials and got their shark attack cocktail and a burger. All super tasty and we left very full, but also had some leftovers.

Guiltless Sirloin* - 6 oz.

Came in an hour before closing. The service was fast but it was disappointing that they stopped serving the chips with the dip trio because they didn't want to fry anymore chips that late. I got the baked potato soup for the 3 for me because they didn't have the dip trio. The steak was tender and great value for the price. For the triple dipper, I had the honey chipotle mozzarella sticks, honey chipotle crispers and original chicken crispers. It was fresh. The honey chipotle sauce is a bit too sweet for my liking. Ambience-it's the same as any casual chain bar/restaurant. Parking at this location is super easy. They have a big parking lot. Chili's is Chili's. I'll definitely be back.

Witches brew margarita of the mknth
Curt T.

Denect food. Have a real 3 for me and it's a good value. Our server was friendly and the food came out quickly. For a burger and a cup of soup with a drink for 10.99 Margarita of the month was $6 and it was good and flavorful.

3 for 10 deal
Ariana H.

We got seated within minutes on a Friday night, and the server came by shortly after to take our drink orders. It was my 11-year-old's birthday dinner (Chili's is his favorite no matter where we go), so we went with the 3 for $10 deal--both of us got burgers. Service was quick and friendly, and the food was delicious. I had the Smasher burger with an extra patty and extra sauce. It comes with an appetizer, so I went with the enchilada soup, which was really well-seasoned. My son chose the chips and salsa appetizer and ordered the Old Timer burger. Of course, we had to finish with the Molten Lava Cake to celebrate his day. Everything was tasty, and the service was spot-on. I'm not thrilled that I had to go to Chili's while on vacation, when we can easily eat at home, but my 11-year-old really wanted Chili's and a burger, so I happily obliged. Thanks for making his birthday dinner a success!

Steak, mashed potatoes and broccoli
Lupe R.

From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt welcomed. There were team members opening the door and greeting us warmly at the reception, which immediately set a positive tone. The restaurant was very clean and had a great, comfortable ambience that felt perfect for families. We waited no more than 10 minutes to be seated, and our waitress was extremely polite and accommodating to our party of six. The service throughout the meal was excellent. Not just our waitress, but multiple servers checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about our experience. The food came out quickly and tasted great. Every plate at the table was easily a 9 out of 10 or even a 10 out of 10. I ordered the half rack of ribs, and the portion was very generous. It honestly looked closer to a full rack. The ribs were flavorful and tender. The mashed potatoes were seasoned perfectly with just the right toppings, and the loaded mac and cheese was rich and delicious. Others in our group had the sirloin steak, which was cooked perfectly and rated a solid 10 out of 10. The kids' meals were also well made and enjoyed, which made the experience comfortable for both kids and adults. We finished with desserts, the cookie and the brownie, and both were delicious and the perfect way to end the meal. Overall, this location delivered great food, fast service, and a welcoming atmosphere. The kids felt comfortable, the adults felt well taken care of, and the clean environment and family-friendly ambience really stood out. I would 100 percent recommend this Chili's location and would absolutely love to come back.

Food here is a real sleeper. Incredible. Not want you'd' expect in mission beach…read more Staff is a ten out of ten. Fast and professional Thank you guys

Moe's is one of our favorites when we visit San Diego. Mission Beach is our happy place and Moe's…read moreis a big part of that beach community. The cocktails, service and food is all really solid but my favorite thing is the old school feel of the design. It's dark, warm and has a nostalgic Rat Pack vibe. We love the black and white photos throughout. Nothing better than meatball Mondays when they serve insanely good meatballs and homemade Bucatini pasta (pic 12). What better to accompany that deliciousness than some signature cocktails. Some of the fam loved the "Fields of Italy." (Pic 3) It's a fresh, crispy champagne cocktail made with vodka, Aperol, St. Germain, strawberry/basil jam, lemon and prosecco. It was perfect for a summer day. I had one of my favs that has been on the menu for a while now called "Party with Elvis." (Pic 5) It starts out like a boss with walnut-infused bourbon, Montenegro (Italian Amaro), tiki bitters, orange bitters and an orange garnish. It's exceptional!!! The last cocktail in the rotation was a traditional Manhattan that always goes perfect with a plate of Italian love (pic 13). It's always classic and the Moe's staff captures it perfectly with Basil Hayden bourbon, Antica sweet vermouth and angostura bitters. If you haven't been to Moe's, you should make the effort because they never disappoint. It's easy to find bright, fancy joints throughout San Diego, but they're an elevated old school gem that's hard to find.

Upbeat pop music playing Friendly staff…read more Open window seating Amazing food !!! The woman at the register helped me decide between 3 different options and I think I may have chose the most delicious item on the menu!!!! The breakfast smash was beyond delicious!!!! The chipotle mayo makes the burger come to life while the onion, egg and tater tot feel like a party in your mouth Maybe the best burger I've had, totally recommend! Only downside they don't serve alcohol but the food vibe and staff make up for it and there's a liquor store directly across from this place

Paid almost $100 dollars for three burgers, two sides of curly fries, and three drinks…read more They were out of all other fry options right after the girl that took our order advertised tots and waffle fries trying to get my friend to do a combo. Once I order a combo, she suddenly remembers she's out of everything besides curly fries which was annoying. They then stick a piece of duct tape on their menu (?) which looked trashy but also confusing because you couldn't tell why it was there it the first place. They were out of all sodas and only had water, brisk tea, and Dr. Pepper available. Looks like no one was prepared for the weekend... The curly fries were sad and gross. It was pretty much just the left over curly fries as it was just an order of broken off pieces that you usually find at the bottom of a frozen food bag. On top of the that, the fries were fried in old oil. Burgers were ok. Not filling for the price that they are told for. The sauces are awesome but that's about it. Our food took forever to come out and I am once justified for avoiding businesses with teenagers manning it like the plague.
