I was cautious at first because it looks sketchy from the outside, but so far I haven't had any issues. The crowd consists of locals that go there regularly. So far, the people I've met out there have seemed cool and friendly. It's usually Bri (or Bree - not sure how she spells it) when I stop in. She's been nothing but cool and nice since I've been going. Very down to earth. She's always on top of things and I never had to wait too long for a drink, even when she's swamped she still checks to see if people are good on drinks. They got a wide selection of booze at dive bar prices. There's 2 pool tables as well as a juke box. They don't serve food, but they do sell snacks like bags of chips. Would be nice if they had more TV's since they only have 1 on the side wall. I try to stop by once or twice a week when I'm in town. It's a solid place to unwind, have a drink, shoot some pool or shoot the BS with the locals. Cheers!

While actively eating dinner with my girlfriend, a member of the security staff approached our table and asked to see our ID's due to the fact that the restaurant was transitioning to a nightclub. I felt this was bizarre, especially since I was drinking a beer, but we obliged. He then requested I stand up from my dinner and allow him to pat me down. This is an absurd request which I did not allow. We planned to hang out longer and this would not have been an issue if he approached with this request after my dinner. They need to get the ego of the security staff under control. I have little faith in their ability to actually keep order in the nightclub and instead feel as if they will escalate situations due to their arrogance. I will not return.

It's good. We liked the food just not part that you have to pay for extra sauce.

Not because of…read moreanything negative--it just hasn't been one of the places that comes to mind when we're deciding where to eat. Well, after tonight, that's going to change. We started by sharing the wedge salad. I am a blue cheese girl, and this blue cheese was BLUE CHEESE. Rich, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I could have happily made a meal out of that alone. We also ordered the calamari, which came with two dipping sauces. One was a sweet and sour-style nuoc cham sauce that was incredible. The other was a fresh, flavorful tartar sauce. The calamari itself was prepared perfectly--light, crispy, not oily at all, and cooked just right. For dinner, I had the pistachio-crusted salmon over vegetable quinoa. The salmon was excellent. The quinoa was good, but probably just not my personal style. My husband ordered the pork chop with polenta, and wow--both were fantastic. That polenta was especially memorable. We sat at a table in the bar area (that's our vibe), and we had the pleasure of being served by Orlando, a newer bartender. He was outstanding. From the moment we sat down, we felt welcomed and genuinely taken care of. He introduced us to a mezcal that complemented our meals perfectly and was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. Top-notch customer service. This isn't an inexpensive everyday dinner spot, but the quality of the food, drinks, and service made it absolutely worth it. We had a fantastic experience and will definitely be back. If you haven't been to Braised lately, go check it out--and if you're lucky enough to have Orlando take care of you, you're in for a great evening.

"It's truly disheartening to write this review as a long-time patron since 2007. Over the years, I've frequented Chili's nearly every Friday, but the recent decline in quality and service has left me deeply saddened. What was once a cherished establishment has lost its charm, and I fear it may struggle to stay afloat in the coming year. Initially, I dismissed negative reviews, attributing my experiences to personal perception. However, consistent disappointments have forced me to acknowledge the validity of those criticisms. It pains me to admit that Chili's is no longer the beloved establishment it once was, and it's time for me to part ways with this place." Corporate needs to retrain everyone from quality and services. read more

I didn't include a picture because I completely inhaled my food . By the time I thought about taking one, the plate was already gone. That alone should tell you everything you need to know. I ordered one of their pasta dishes (you really can't go wrong), and it was fresh, flavorful, and honestly hit the spot in a way that made me pause mid-bite like "okay wait... this is REALLY good." Portions were perfect too. Now for my favorite part the drinks. I don't drink alcohol, but Alexis the bartender absolutely understood the assignment. She made me a spicy cucumber mocktail that was hands down one of the best drinks I've had. Refreshing with just the right kick 10/10. Service was just as good as the food. Aaron was my server and made everything easy and comfortable, checking in without overdoing it. You can tell the staff actually cares. I also want to shout out Ray and Cynthia from management, they helped create an overall welcoming vibe that you don't always get everywhere. Overall, amazing food, great service, and a place I'll definitely keep coming back to. Just next time... I'll try (no promises) to take a picture before I inhale everything.

The others in my party said their food was ok. We ordered the Truffle Fries for our appetizer. The fries were piping hot and flavorful. Service was ok, she was efficient and got our orders correct. The ambiance is casual and on this occasion, quiet. I'm so disappointed that Fugazzis missed the mark on this occasion.
