Normally I don't eat out much during the week and usually save dining out for the weekends, but after an exhausting day, this spot really hit the mark. We came in a little after 6 PM while the happy hour crowd was wrapping up, so the restaurant was definitely busy. Even with the crowd, our party was seated quickly in a booth, and our waiter promptly came over to get our drink orders started. I was craving a really good burger, so I decided to go with the "Old Timer," which comes with a quarter-pound beef patty topped with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and red onions, served alongside fries. I ordered my burger medium well, and this particular franchise definitely knows how to cook to temperature because it came out perfectly done exactly the way I requested. I must've influenced the table because two others in my party ended up ordering the same burger while another person chose the chicken crispers as part of the 3 for Me deal. The deal itself still offers pretty good value, even though the appetizer options used to be a little better in the past. You can choose between chips and salsa, a cup of soup, or a salad. I went with the chicken tortilla soup (which was good in flavor but a tad on the salty side) along with a strawberry lemonade. I normally don't drink my calories, but whenever I come here, the strawberry lemonade is my go-to. When the food arrived, everything tasted fresh to order. The burger was juicy and cooked perfectly, the fries were hot and crispy with a generous serving size, and the strawberry lemonade was refreshing and delicious. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the service. Our waiter -- a tall African-American gentleman whose name I unfortunately can't remember -- was excellent the entire evening. He stayed attentive throughout our meal and seemed to appear right on cue anytime one of our drinks got low. If I remembered his name, I would absolutely mention him because he truly deserves recognition for his attentiveness and professionalism. Overall, this was a really great dining experience, especially after such a long day. Between the fresh food, solid service, and comfortable atmosphere, I'll definitely be coming back again. read more

Chili's - Tex-Mex Near Me - San Diego, California

The food was amazing and the service started off great until we got towards the end. We immediately got seated for our party of 6 and got our food ordered and taken care of In a timely manner, that was until the server forgot a soup we ordered. It didn't bother us much since we were getting quite full anyways. But the thing we were most frustrated about was how rushed the waiter seemed even though the restaurant wasn't that packed, they continuously checked up on the table right next to us but went right past us. We had to track her down once for napkins, another time for a military discount, and another time for desert. Everyone in our table had drank our water and sodas but we were never once offered a refill and we didn't want to bother with the waiter again. We happened to also be celebrating a birthday and they gave us a quick 6s song, but forgot to give us spoons, once again our waiter left immediately after the song, we didn't bother tracking her down and ate our desert with knives since they took our plates and forks away. The Cajun pasta was a 5/10 I think it could've definitely used more sauce half of the pasta tasted like it didn't even touch the sauce, the chicken was also insanely dry and bland. Triple dippers 10/10 can never go wrong with that :) read more

Let me start by saying how much I love the food and stellar prices at Chili's! I've gone to many different locations and have had a five-star experience at most. This visit started off on a sour note when the host shoved the menus into my hands/body and told me to seat myself, I'm guessing so he could continue talking to the hostess uninterrupted... After standing there for a minute trying to process what just happened, we picked a table and were excited to eat our favorite 3 For Me® meals. While the waitress did write down no cheese for my order, my burger came with cheese and took a bit to remake. When it arrived, the toppings were quite comical. Three or four pieces of diced onion, one tomato, and barely any lettuce. The burger made McDonald's look high end. Our waitress, Ciara, was very nice and my fries, the second time, were perfectly crispy. Other than that, this experience definitely fell short and I likely will not return to this location in the future. read more

The service here was top notch. Our server came by many times to check up on us and make sure we were doing okay. The mozzarella sticks are overrated. But the 3 for me deal gives you the best bang for your buck since it comes with so many chips and salsa (if that's what you want). read more

Chili's - Fried Mozzarella - Tex-Mex Near Me - San Diego, California

Stopped by to finally try the Triple Dipper I've been seeing everywhere on social media. I'm not sure if the hype online are honest reviews or if I went on an "off day" because everything we ordered was so salty! The Nashville hot mozzarella sticks in particular were hardly edible. The wings, and tenders were also not good. Based on all the food, would not come back. The only good thing was our server. Service was friendly and got seated quickly on a weekday. read more

This is take out App was easy to use. Food was ready early When I arrived one other person waiting at the takeaway window. Lots of staff standing around but no one acknowledged us. When I finally stopped someone walking by in the restaurant they grabbed our food. Just frustrating that you tip before cause I wouldn't tip for this service. Got the triple dipper. The Nashville hot mozzarella was right next to the big bites. So the big bites were drenched in hot sauce. But the southwestern egg rolls were good. Also got free chips and salsa thru the app. read more

Always the same value for what you get. The fgood is good, not great, but still good. Great parking and always clean, happy to return.

THREE FOR ME (4 stars) ... none for you. What a bang for your buck! - FOOD: Pretty decent! - PRICE: very affordable - SERVICE: great - AMBIANCE: nothing special On a real note, I haven't been to Chili's since my college days (and that was a hot minute ago). Not much has change with the atmosphere, big drinks for cheap price, and good basic fried finger foods. :: ORDER :: THREE FOR ME - pick a beverage, starter, and main. This was an overwhelming meal for a small someone and could easily be shared with another or packed the rest to-go. I don't know how to put it but to say it was, a lot. BIG SMASH BURGER ($10.99) - thousand island, American cheese, diced red onion, pickles, and lettuce - YES comes with fries. This was the cheapest of the "Three for Me" menu item. Ordered this with strawberry lemonade and chips and salsa. There were a variety of drinks and sides to choose from - choose wisely. The burger was a classic burger and not so much of a smash patty burger. The flavor reminded me of a fresher and tastier Big Mac. The bun was on the softer side, the patty had good seasoning, and every bite was satisfying. The fries were good, not too salty nor bland and had a fair crispiness to them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND CHIPS AND SALSA - I love me some good chip and salsa and this was surprisingly good. The chips were the very thin tortilla chips (exactly how I like them). No broken pieces. Little on the salty side but that can be covered when dipped into the salsa. The salsa was mild - average but why do I find myself like it more than many other salsa's I've tried at other restaurants?! HIGHLY RECOMMEND :: SERVER :: The staff here are so welcoming and nice. Food came out timely. They showed the perfect amount of attentiveness. I liked how they all seem to have fun working with each other. I tipped well because they did a good job! Until the next review.... read more

Chili's - 3 for Me - Tex-Mex Near Me - San Diego, California

This Chili's deserves a much higher rating!! When going to a chain restaurant, you never know if the one you go to will be clean and well equipped, and this one is truly a gem. It's always incredibly clean -- including the bathrooms. The servers are amazing (very attentive and helpful, going the extra mile like packing up fresh hot chips for you to take or bringing out a new plate if yours had an error -- even one you didn't notice!) and the food is always delicious. (If you're wondering about that "error": my wife ordered surf and turf but only got the steak. We didn't even notice and were happy with the food, but they noticed and instead of just bringing out the "surf" part to complete the plate, they brought a whole new plate and let us have both.) My wife and I go here almost every week as our little local hangout spot. There are always a variety of games playing on the TV and it's a great vibe to relax, eat chips and salsa, drink a $6 margarita, and read my book or play trivia on their little consoles. The margarita of the month is usually very tasty, but even if it's not your thing, they have lots of other cocktails. My favorite food items are the dip trio with salsa and queso, the brisket quesadilla, and the triple dipper when I'm feeling like it with mozzarella sticks, honey chipotle crispers, and big mouth bites or southwestern eggrolls. Whoever is managing this place is doing an incredible job and I hope they never stop! read more

Chili's - Margarita of the Month and Chips & Salsa - Tex-Mex Near Me - San Diego, California

Chilis near SDSU is a good spot for quick food with your friends or family. Pros: the location being very close to Sdsu makes it a prime spot for quick late night bites or early afternoon food. I've come here a few times and I've gotten seated pretty quickly. I ordered the three for me deal for $11.99. This is a great deal. I unfortunately did not take a picture, but I ordered the burger and it came with fries, soup or salad, and a fountain drink. The people I was with order chips and salsa and Nashville mozzarella sticks. The mozzarella sticks were very good as always. The chips and salsa were decent. You could pay for your food with their kiosk tablet thing on the table but if you need help, you can always call a server and they'll be happy to split the bill however you want or to help if the technology doesn't work. Cons: the service here is a hit or miss you can get a really good server that is very fast and helpful, or you get another server who doesn't really tend to your table as often. There are bathrooms inside, but it is quite small and not as clean. The floors are a bit oily and felt like a floor from a Korean barbecue spot. Verdict: Chili's is a good spot for certain occasions I wouldn't expect too much good stuff in service or overall quality you get what you pay for and it's good quick cheap food, which is good for a college student being nearby campus read more

Amazing service here! Came in for family night dinner, we were told @20 minute wait, yet were called back in @10 minutes ...great start!! The server was on point, reminded me of the comedian JB Smoove, smooth, knowledgeable, very accommodating. Food was as good as the franchise gets, no complaints. Dessert was molten lava cake which the family loved!!! Place was clean, cheerful, prices decent, definitely a good night!!! read more

BB and I have been talking about going back to Chilis for what seems like years. The last time I went to Chilis was over 20 years ago, for reference. She wanted to go to the Mission Valley one, assuming it was nicer than the one on Sports Arena Blvd. In an ironic twist of events, right before we turned into the parking lot, we saw a panhandler who was literally bent over 90 degrees (the fentanyl fold), and upon parking and walking toward the restaurant, an enthusiastic tweeker started yelling "papasan, sifu, sensei!" to me, which I have to admit was hilarious. Entertainment, top notch. Ambience, maybe not so much. We were greeted warmly upon entering and seated promptly. We ordered drinks and then we ordered what seemed to be all the hype, the triple dipper appetizer combo (viral cheese pull) along with a smokehouse combo to share between us. The waitress was very pleasant and provided great service when she was at our tableside, but I wish she would have came by just once more to offer refills instead of us having to flag her down. The food was all just ok. The cheese stick which produces the infamous cheese pull taste like a typical frozen product thrown into a deep fryer, the southwest egg rolls were similarly average. The baby back ribs were more tender than we thought but just average as well. The best parts of the meal were suprisingly the brisket quesadillas (one of the choices from the smokehouse combo), which I would not hesitate to order again. I guess if you ordered the 10.99 burger with side and drink (as well as skimped on the tip), this would be somewhat economical, but after paying around 65 for the both of us after tax and tip, we felt that the hype was not only overrated, but overpriced as well. Not a bad place by any means, but probably won't be adding this to our rotation. read more

My students and I were taking pictures of a football game. We did this a week ago and I owed them food because I didn't take them last time. One of them doesn't like burgers, so coming here was better than In n Out. I ordered my favorite skillet queso, and the ultimate cajun pasta with shrimp and chicken. One ordered the trip of apps, sliders, Nashville fried cheese and tenders; one ordered chicken tenders, and the other ordered the cajun pasta with shrimp. Well, the skillet never arrived and I was so sad. But my other favorite is the pasta which was very good! Our server, James, was great! Was apologetic about the queso. It's either a kitchen or food runner issue cause someone brought us lemonades that we didn't order. And then it happened, he brought out the queso but it was taken off the bill, which I appreciated. But now I was really happy! I just realized I get the same thing every time I'm here...LOLLLLL! I forgot it was Friday evening so it was really busy! I can see how things get mixed up. But James made the evening better! Definitely worth coming to if in the area! I bring students here often! read more

First time at this location and it was for takeout. Cashiers and waiters were really friendly and helpful. Food did not take long to come out. Loved how they had a takeout side strictly for that it made the service quicker and efficient. Ordered the usual triple dipper and old timer smash burger on the 3 for me deal. Opted in fries and chips and dip. Their chips are light and crispy. They added too much salt though as some parts were salty. They literally give you half a whole bag of chips; it's a lot! read more

First time coming to Chili's! We walked in and it was SUPER busy. We thought we were going to have to wait a long time and we were okay with it but surprisingly we got seated really fast, which was fantastic because we were hungry! I came with my friend and she wanted to try the triple dipper and I wanted mozzarella cheese stick (yes I wanted to see if it would do the cheese put when you bit into it but it didn't LOL) but the flavor of it was good. The rest of her triple dipper she liked and she liked the flavor she chose. I got the Ancho salmon. It was good. Our waitress was wonderful! She came and checked on us several times and asked us if we needed anything and she took our order right away. She was the best! The inside was big. Plenty of seating and lots of TV's so you can watch different sport games at the same time. read more

We came for dinner, food was good & good pricing. The reason I didn't give it more stars was because our waiter was absent for most of our dinner time & we had to ask another waiter for a drink refills. Then when it was time to pay, the machine was down & would not take our card payment. We tried various debit cards & ended up having to pay cash. Luckily my teenage son had some cash so we paid with that. But the part of that whole situation that I was dissatisfied with was the manager was not finding a way to help or even offer a discount since it was technically the machine/their fault. She just kept repeating that she didn't know why the machine was not working. We left disappointed after a good dinner. read more

Our home base Chili's. Consistently decent. Can't go wrong with the 3 for Me. Hubby always gets the fajitas. At our most recent visit, he got the steak and shrimp fajitas. The meats were well done but surprisingly soft. I would say it can be hit or miss in terms of tenderness. The burgers have been consistently good. Service can be hit or miss as well. Semi-fast, casual restsurant with reasonable prices. read more

Very franchise feeling. The service itself was great. The restaurant was also clean and punctual, so great on that note. I am docking it stars because I was charged 3.00$ extra on the tab for some game pass, which is very sneak in my opinion. Also, the wings were a little dry. read more

The $10.99 "3 for me" deal is actually such a fantastic value and that's why it gets 4 stars from me! The burgers are super greasy which is one downside, but the fries are crisp and delicious, portions are HUGE, and the side of chips/salad were nice as well. I've heard that Chili's has recovered its reputation in the past few years and is on an upward trend in popularity, and with deals like this I can see why! Fun/casual spot, good service, huge portions, good value. I admittedly had a pretty low opinion of Chili's in the past but I've been corrected. read more

The ambiance is clean and any average american restaurant. I really enjoyed the place itself and the location. Parking was free and is right outside the place, shared in a complex. Highly recommend! read more

I went to Chilis with two of my friends. I had a great time at Chilis. I wanted to reach out to give a shout out to the server who helped us tonight. Christian was our server. He provided excellent service. He was a delightful human being. It was refreshing to get this kind of service. After the pandemic happened it was rare to get excellent service at a restaurant. Christian was kind and tentative. Please give him employee of the month or something! This sweet soul deserves a reward for his hard work. He remember little details. He consistently check on his tables and refill our water/sodas throughout our dinning experience. You can tell Christian is really good at his job and cares about his customers. I hope y'all get to meet him and get the same amazing service. read more

There is something about chain restaurants that makes you want to come back every now and then. We don't eat here very much but when we do, we there is a craving and then a question of why after we go. Sorry chilis but your food was super salty and overly sauced. I couldn't eat more than two bites and a few fries when I had to stop. It felt like a sodium bomb in my mouth. read more

Overall good chilis location. Staff is always friendly here. Recently went and got the sirloin steak 3 for me and I was shocked how good the steak was. Had pretty solid flavor.

Rest of the restaurant pretty normal lighting. Plenty of parking. read more

Food didn't take long at all considering how busy the house was. Service was great as well. Will definitely be back.

Somehow I've never been to a Chili's before in my life. This one is literally right down the road from my house and decided to give it a try. I had to try the triple dipper of course, I got the Honey Chipotle Mozzarella sticks and 2 orders of their chicken strips. The mozzarella sticks are MONSTER sized i've never seen another place with this type of square, thick, mozzarella stick. I wasn't a huge fan of the sauce though, not that it was bad just more of a preference thing. The chicken strips were decent but could've used more breading. They also do not have root beer which is a bummer! Our waitress was very attentive, the vibe of the place is what you'd expect from Chili's overall a good experience and I'd visit again. read more

Located right off the 8 Fwy (west bound) in Mission Valley. First of all, let's talk about the restrooms... needed cleaning, restock of toilet paper, and paper towels. Service was extremely slow (I get that it was really busy) but damn we waited about 40 minutes for our food to come out. We got the Bacon Avocado Chicken sandwich, Mushroom Swiss burger, and the 10 oz classic sirloin. All were ok... not horrible but nothing super out of this world either. Service was ok, we had to keep asking for drink refills though. I would probably not come back here, but this is where the niece wanted to eat. It was mid... hence, the 3 stars. read more

Good family restaurant -- wouldn't come again specifically for the food. Our server did a great job though. The boneless wings were not good, the breading was thick and crunchy as if they had been sitting around a long time before they were sauced. The chips are light and crispy but the salsa is too salty. The fajitas were pricier than expected and the steak was absolutely terrible, so so dry, tough, and overcooked. The chicken and veggies in it were good. The 3 for me deal is the best thing they've got going on. read more

Chili's was clearly the place to be on a Friday night--it was busy, but service was surprisingly quick and efficient. It had that classic Chili's energy with all the TVs around, it's a great spot to catch a game (we caught a baseball game). I finally tried the Triple Dipper and became obsessed with the Honey Chipotle flavor. Pro tip: if you're at Chili's, you have to get a margarita--it's basically a must. I order mine blended.

Service -the customer service was stellar from the moment the two hosts open the doors, welcoming us to the restaurant. Christian was excellent and friendly. He offered suggestions and made ordering easy. We ultimately felt welcomed. Ambiance-the vibe was awesome. As I write this review, we're listening to Hall & Oates.
