After previous reviews I was a little doubtful, but...I sat at the bar and the bartender - Christie, did a great job...friendly and prompt even when dealing with a difficult foursome who sat down at the bar when I was there. I had the fajitas, and they came out hot. The food was just average, but we are talking Chili's, right? The beer was ice cold, and perfect. All in all, an adequate experience, with nice service by Christie. read more

Chili's - What I came for...ice cold. - American Near Me - Temple, Texas

Came in here Monday night and the bartender Leo was so sweet attentive and helpful. Even though I came in shortly before closing he still had a smile and positive attitude unlike most restaurants would if I went in this late. He engages in great conversation and any restaurant is lucky to have him as an employee and there's a lot of industry people (myself included) that can learn a lot from him. read more

I am not a super big fan of chili's but this one does a very good job. Katie the bartender was super busy and still took great care of me. Kyle suggested the mushroom Swiss it was very good. I will be back for sure. Make sure you ask for Katie read more

Not great at all. Hubby asked our server a few questions about the entree he wanted: R: how big is the ribeye? Her: um, I'm not sure; it's pretty big R: okay, um, does it come with two side or one? Her: I'm not sure Our server again: "I'm just waiting on those shrimp, salad, and your appetizer, but your steak is done." Am I in an alternate universe?? The table behind us with two adults and four children left because they never got served. They were seated before us, and we were there for an hour and twenty minutes. When we did leave, literally half the restaurant was empty, and there at least eight parties waiting to be seated all over outside. Apparently half the servers and cooks all decided to not show up for work. We won't be back. read more

The loaded potato soup here is soooo watered down. This is the only location we've been to where the soup is that consistency. Every other location it's great but here idk if mfs are rationing or what but this ain't it. Stop watering down the soup ! read more

Visit on July 4th 2018 and if I go back I may update this but very doubtful I will return. My buddy and I walked in around 6:30 pm. Asked for a table in the bar area. After sitting down no one I mean no one seemed to be working? I finally got up and asked the bar tender who was cleaning the counter if anyone was taking orders. She stated she would get us someone. We continued to sit and then just had enough and walked out. On the way out I told the guy at the front something needed to be done about the service. He replied they were short handed. I totally get that but this business is losing Money when you only have 1 bar tender but the bar area was sort of dead and she was more concerned about wiping down bar chairs then seeing if customers needed anything? They need new management!! This Chili's is one of the worst I have ever been to. read more

Came with my family tonight! I don't live in Temple my family does so they wanted to go eat here even though they have never been either. First off the wait was horrible! They were sitting people that came after us with a bigger party. Then I looked around and saw there was tables that needed to be cleaned and there was trash everywhere. When we finally got seated it was the coldest spot in the place. We got our drinks and then ordered. It took over an hour for three salads and a hamburger. The waiter was very nice and apologized. No manager ever came by asking if we were okay. We will not be back. read more

Excellent service tonight! Food was great and quick! Loved sitting in bar watching Cowboys game on tv. Our server was awesome!

I wrote a review before praising their beef fajitas, the best I ever had, tender with lots of onion and green peppers and a sauce to die for. Having such a good experience here I brought my lunch church group and ordered the fajitas with my mouth watering in anticipation. My order came and the meat was tough, no sauce, very little onion and peppers, I was very disappointed and now won't risk going back since their cooking is so unpredictable. read more

Waited about two minutes for someone to show me to a seat. No one showed up. Not even eye contact or "Will be w you in a moment." Felt invisible. Left. read more

Ordered a full rack of ribs with fries and corn on the cob on the side. I don't go to Chili's often, but when I do it's usually a "no idea what else to eat" type of moment. It never disappoints if you're not looking for anything extravagant. read more

Chili's - Cheese fries w/ jalapenos - American Near Me - Temple, Texas

See all

Their ribs are chewy and raw their was still blood inside they have rude waiters that didint help us whatsoever

The place was almost completely empty but we had a 10 minute wait. After finally sitting we had ordered drinks and an appetizer. The appetizer came out in 15 minutes but we still didn't have our drinks. The cheese fries had dry, cracked, crusty cheese on them and everything on the plate was cold and dried out. We had to get the server who avoided us after taking the drink orders and asked about our drinks. All she said was "they haven't been made yet." After 25 minutes we received our drinks and I had to leave the full drink on the table, it tasted like frozen dishwater. This location needs to be closed down. read more

Poor service from our waitress today-Unfortunately. She was not very friendly and she seemed to be in a bad mood. She also took the customer's order ( who had arrived after we did and who sat down after we did), before taking ours. When we ordered, I could tell that she was in a bad mood. She was not attentive at all - the only interaction we had with her was when we placed our order. It was obvious that she was in a bad mood ( because I overheard and saw heard and saw her talking with other employees there today)! Our visit was unpleasant today and my food was ( just ok) Geez! read more

If I could give less than 1 star I would. HORRIBLE service. Food that tastes like it has been boiled or microwaved. Managers that have no customer service experience. Servers that are extremely rude. Orders take forever to come out. Don't wasted your time or money here. read more

My favorite part about coming here is watching all the people who arrived after me, get their food before me.

Well this is a tough one. We went Friday night (don't buy one of the "busiest nights" excuse, you know it is so plan for it) our wait for a table was not bad at all. We were seated and waited probably 10 minutes for a server to come to our table, once they did we placed order and everything seemed good. 10 minutes later we got our salad then sat waiting for our entree. We were there over an hour until we finally got our meal. The food was good but to sit in a restaurant for a total of 1.5 hours to get a meal is ridiculous. We bought items from the 3 for $10, nothing crazy but between our server spending most of her time talking to her friends at a nearby table and the long wait for food we were there nearly 2 hours. Again, the food was good, price was good but come on, 2 hours? Probably just our server because we saw people that came in after us, leave while we were still eating. read more

Fellow reviewers aren't wrong! I took a chance and boy should I have listened. I came in one night to get a to-go order at the bar. I figured it would be quick and painless. I asked for a menu and the bartender gave me attitude like it was SUCH a big deal that I wanted a menu. The dramatic sigh was completely unnecessary. I ordered a drink while I waited hoping to appease her. After she gave me my drink she never came back to take my order. I waited 20 minutes till finally a manager came over and asked me if I needed anything. I explained that I wanted to order a to-go meal. She was so nice. The bartender walked up and the manager told her what I was ordering. Her response was "oh now she's ordering." Was I supposed to set off fireworks to flag you down? I asked for a menu and attempted to make eye contact as well as said excuse me twice while you were right in front of me. Yet you ignored me. My meal turned out ok. I think it sat in the back for a while because when I went to eat it, there were prices of paper stuck to each piece of meat and veggie. They put a paper down on the styrofoam box then placed the food on the paper. It's like the food just grabbed on to it. The food tasted decent but the paper was a bit chewy. Personally I don't like eating paper! I wouldn't recommend coming here. Service and attitude was horrible, food was just fine. But overall not worth it. I will say, the manager was so sweet and she was the only good thing about the experience. read more

Well, damn. We came here to celebrate mine and my niece's running of The Army Marathon's Half Marathon. It wasn't our first choice, as the other places were closed, but Chili's is always good, right? Yeah. Not so much. We called in and got seated right away. The server was nice, and we got menus and drinks quickly. And that's where it all went downhill. We had my 1 year old great-nephew and 3 year old great-niece with us, so we ordered their food first, not realizing our food would take forever to come out. We ordered our appetizers, and those came out quickly, although with no plates. Luckily we're all family and don't mine sharing and a little double dipping. But then we waited. And waited. And waited. This was the slowest restaurant ever. And during that time we barely saw our server. She came by a couple times to refill drinks, but no word of explanation or apology. We actually had to ask about our order, and even after that, we waited. And waited. All the while, the tables around us were waiting too, and the lucky ones that did get food left and the tables stayed dirty. Ew. Finally everything came out, huzzah! But it was all cold, or barely warm. Boo. I don't know if a cook quit in the middle of his/her shift, or what, but this was really ridiculous. I know it's not a fast food joint, I get that, but still, if I had known that we would be here for so long, I would have brought a book. A really big book. For a celebration dinner, this sure wasn't what we were hoping for. Heck, for any dinner, this wasn't that great. I love me some Chili's but doubt I will be back to this one. read more

I've been to many Chilis locations. I'm writing this to say my Lighter Side Salmon tasted like someone poured a whole tablespoon of salt on it. The other person who ordered the same thing agreed it was over salted. I've never had this problem at any other location. Also our waiter was wearing (cheap) cologne so heavy I could smell him coming a few tables away, and taste it in my throat when he was at my table. Gross. read more

Yep, typically Chilis is good. Tonight the Chicken Fried Steak was full of grissle, the corn was mushy and the potatoes were full of whole potato peels. The food was generally disappointing but the waitress was refreshingly nice and attentive. read more

came thru here while on a road trip to Austin. We like Chilis a lot. However lately a lot of Chilis are superlacking good service... This time it was twinkletoes. First the hostess stared at us like we just decended from the heaven in a spaceship. NOT kidding... she STARED at us! Then our twinkletoes waiter was totally... not in the loop. first off, SPEAK UP! I have no clue what he said nor what his name was nor anything. We ordered a margarita to start, one frozen one on the rocks, simple.. so you might think. Well it took a wile, and we got 2 frozen ones. Food was good as usual. However twinkletoes never stopped by once to ask if we wanted refills or anything else. serious.. UGH our bill took a while, the change took too long. The food: Yes it is Chilis it is good. Service... wth nope read more

If I'm being completely honest, the waitress was real cool, we got seated automatically, possibly because they were on the verge of closing, but the food is mid. They had a terrible cook on shift, the food was undesirable and the slider burgers were as stale as a a teenage boys sock. The smell once I walked in was terrible and the chair was sticky. I don't recommend this place if you're expecting good food late at night. read more

My husband and I ordered two burgers, both were burned on both sides. I'm usually impressed with Chili's. Extremely disappointed this time. I will not be going back for a while. read more

The Waiter was good. Not complaining there. But we sat down around 645PM. Ordered around 702PM, literally waited till 740PM & got tired of waiting. Asked for our food to go, then got home to see this that my food was undercooked. Very disappointed and won't be going back, posted my picture on here so people can see the "GRILLED" chicken salad there. read more

Chili's - My undercooked grilled chicken salad - American Near Me - Temple, Texas

After having gone to several restaurants in the area with over an hour wait time, we found that we could get on the waitlist thru Yelp for Chili's. And by the time we arrived and parked, we only had to wait another 5 minutes before getting a seat. The service was extremely quick and food came out hot & tasty. Even with them being so busy - we never felt rushed by our server. The food was good, prices were low, and service was great. Definately come back to this location. read more

I've been to this Chili's several times for lunch and the service was slow. Not painfully slow but just a little slow for lunch. The food is your standard Chili's chain restaurant food but I keep going back because they have some of my All American Favorites and I can grab a quick drink after work when necessary. read more

They are hard to find! That is... good clean places to eat are hard to find! My wife and I often travel away from our home in. Our home town is not large enough for a Chilis. I am a 100% disabled veteran and often travel to Temple TX to the VA Hospital. We eat at Chilis in Temple often. When we travel to Fort Hood, we eat at Chilis! I guess my wife and I love eating at Chilis! The Chilis we frequent serve very good quality food. And what can easily influence our choices, Chilis' restrooms and dining area are constantly clean. At this moment I cannot think of any thing we dislike about Chilis! read more

Will NOT ever go to or order from here again!!!! The extremely rude and argumentative lady working the "To Go" counter tonight 11-1-2017 def needs to go to a customer training class!!! How dare you try and say we didn't order something when you know we did and you just Forgot!! Then you want to argue with me and basically call me a liar! I mean seriously!!! Then shove the stuff to me and roll your eyes I mean wow!!! So ya def WONT ever go here again!!!! read more

Cold fries. Tasteless fajita.. bill was all messed up. Not a good place to eat. They do not care about what they are serving. Austin location was much better.. find some other place to eat. read more

Note to self: When going to Chili's, and you're really hungry, don't order anything less filling than one of their juicy burgers. I learned my lesson a few Fridays ago when we came here for dinner. Was I starving? Check. Did I order a burger? No. Therein lies my problem. I had the delicious steak quesadillas which came with sour cream and pico de gallo. There were about ten small ones, and although we had ordered an appetizer of Chili's great-tasting Southwestern Egg Rolls, that still wasn't enough to fill me up. My husband ordered their Oldtimer with cheese, adding an extra patty to it, and I didn't hear him complain about not being full. *sigh* Good food. Just not enough of it unless it's a burger. read more

Ordered TOGO beef nachos and southwestern egg rolls. Nachos were burnt and the southwestern egg rolls were under cooked. At $9.50 each was overpriced for what I received. Received no plastic ware for sour cream, salsa, or peppers. While waiting witnessed both very nice and extremely rude staff to customers. Some people have no business working with the public. This place was in walking distance from my hotel. That's about the best thing it had going. Seemed very busy so they must be doing something right that I didn't see. read more

I went to this Chili's with 5 other ladies on a weeknight for dinner. Had our waiter been attentive, polite, or personable, it might have been a decent experience. Upon ordering chips & salsa as an appetizer, he informed us that we could order them, but he 'guaranteed we would send them back' like other patrons had that day. No explanation! But he said he'd bring us out some on the house & we could order another appetizer. Of course, we all looked at them wondering 'what is wrong with them????' Some were okay, some greasy, some chewy & stale. The last hour we were there I waited for a refill on my water. Needless to say, I will not be going back. The only reason I did not just give one star is because the balloon guy was exceptionally friendly, & the mango-chili chicken I ordered was moist & delicious. read more

I would give this 0 stars if i could.. This place is AWFUL!!! it took over an hour for a togo order.. The orders were all wrong.. AND they wouldn't give me my damn ranch!! and then the to go girl said "damn you're gonna take all my ranch" and there was a HUGE HAIR IN MY FRIENDS SALAD!!! LIKE GIRL?!! You work at a restaurant. you should know how to treat customers.. dont come here!! bad service and bad food!!! 10/10 DONT recommend!!! read more

This place is incredibly slow and the food was subpar. The burgers were incredibly greasy and the buns hard. Don't waste your money, just go somewhere else please. read more

If you close at 11pm but stop taking orders at 10:30 THEN SAY THAT OR POST THAT! DURING THIS PANDEMIC. No room for mistakes or excuses. People are now dependent on your word and competency so when we work late and especially work as an essential worker, we don't want to hear what you can't do...Cutting corners should be the least of your doings. read more

I understand why this Chili's has such horrible reviews! We came in today at 4:27 and walked out at 4:39 due to no one stopping by to help us. The hostess stood at the door and looked at our table a couple times and obviously didn't think to get someone involved! No manager and the same server 4 times walked by us and ignored us read more

great service( thanks Sean) but they have no AMBERS or PORTERS!!! So we had water! But the burgers were notorious! Great flavor and done just right. French fries were good, but they put a few long ones on top, to cover up the "pieces" they give you to fill an order. read more
