I've been here twice. The first time I came here I had terrible service. Our food came in a span of 30 minutes meaning people finished their food before others got their order. I assumed it was just an unlucky experience so I tried this place again. We were seated and waited about 15 minutes and no one came by to get our orders and had to ask the hostess for waters. After not seeing our waiter, we decided to just leave. It's sad how poor the service is. :( The food was fine during my first visit in case you wanted to know. Good luck if you want to try this Chili's! read more

The worst Chilis. Empty restaurant and 20 minute wait time with dirty tables. My second time to experience poor service and a lack of a proper attitude to move things along. My prior experience was more of the same... The bartender took her time to take my order, then 30 minutes later, I get my food... Don't bother. My second time was my last time. read more

Food was pretty good. I got a healthier choice today and it was chicken with black beans and a bed of rice. It was pretty good. Waiter was good, the hostess was sort of rude. Its bar is super small. Its chillis nothing out of this world but nothing bad either. read more

After visiting this location I felt that the negative reviews of service quality and response time was not deserved. While there was a wait we were able to put our name in and were seated faster than expected. Our server was very prompt and all our the customizations to our dishes were correct. This was a packed evening and the staff was working very efficiently. AND they were the best bacon chicken ranch quesadillas I've had at a chili's and I go a lot but normally in Georgia read more

Everything was good but I ordered a steak and it was over cooked than the way I like it it was also kinda dry but the wings it's really great! But hopefully ya can LEARN HOW TO COOK MEDIUM RARE STEAK. read more

Slow slow slow slow service. We kept getting forgotten. Took them over 15 min for just to take our drink order. And another 15 to get our drinks. Before we could order appetizers the waitress went missing again. Our food took another 45 min to come out. When it did you can tell that somethings have been sitting a while too. Steaks looked weird like the color was grey. Drinks were never refilled. Never got our refill of chips and salsa. Like I said our waitress kept going missing. Never coming back again. read more

Chili's is THE only place in my area to get an awesome steak. There are so many wonderful and tasty items on the menu; it's sometimes really hard to decide what to order! I absolutely LOVE the desserts offered. The waitstaff is always pleasant. They have the best service in town. Always smiling and willing to help. They come back to your table often to make sure everything is alright and to refill your drink. One thing I would advise is to visit Chili's during an "off" time of day. If you go during traditional meal times; they're likely to be extremely busy and you may have to wait. Yeah..they're that good! read more

By far the worst place in Victoria.... Server pushes away dirty dishes on a table with a tray of food to serve you... The hostess is just a fixture god help her if she would do anything to help the wait staff or bartender. The food comes out in no specific order you can have appetizers after your meal........ I use the parking lot to go to Tokyo Grill.... read more

So the food here is great. The biggest negative is it's SEVERELY understaffed. Wait times on the weekend are 1+ hours and there will be open tables. The service is also hit and miss. The food saves this place though. I can't really blame them for being understaffed as I'm sure it's difficult to pull employment in Victoria to match the high turnover rate. read more

If I were you I'd sit at the bar, service is atrocious! I come here for lunch about twice a month, and service is slightly better at the bar than at the table... Chilis food is chilis food, not bad but it ain't great either... read more

Here's the thing, a Chili's is a Chili's. Once you've eaten at one, you've eaten at them all. The food isn't anything fantastic. Its great if you're trying to raise your blood pressure or cholesterol (even the "healthy" dishes aren't very healthy.) The only thing that really sets them apart from one another is the service. Victoria is known for crappy service and I feel like this place is a big contribution to that reputation. Now, if you sit in the bar area, your chances of good service go way up. But as you move further and further away, it just gets worse and worse so try and sit in the front. It's a good place to watch a sport or sit and have a few drinks but nothing much more than that. read more

Failed to seat me so I left. I arrived at around 3:20 PM. They did have customers but there was no reason to leave someone standing around waiting for a table in the middle of the afternoon. I am a fan of Chili's, but there are many other good options in Victoria so I doubt I would go back to this location. read more

Disappointing. Dirty floors, sticky tables, very slow service but food was suprisingly good but took forever to get. Wont be going back.

Walked into this place that was empty place and asked for a table not a booth... The host says it will be 5-10 minutes... Really maybe 3-5 other tables full in the place !!! The he comes over and says we only have a high table at the bar. I said jut give us a booth. Seated and our waitress must have been having a bad day although it's 11:45 am!!! She was not friendly at all and just didn't seem happy to be there. Good came out fast and it was just ok. Not good and not bad. The service ruined my whole Father's Day lunch with my family. read more

The Victoria, Tx Chili's has the worst staff imaginable. The hostesses are rude, the waiters ignore you. In the end, you have to have the bartenders take your order, and the manager refill your drinks. A tip: don't go while a game is on, because your waiter will sit at the bar watching tv, and you'll have the pleasant experience of hearing the cooks yell out "There's a bunch of food sitting here and no ones taking anything out!" and I do mean yell. I've tried time and time again coming here, thinking maybe I got then an off day, but no, it's just an off restaurant. No one gives a crap about the place, from the hostesses to the owner. read more

If you like bad service and eating around dirty tables. They should hire a bus boy because the servers don't bus the tables in a timely manner read more

Please don't waste your time! I have tried this Chili's twice. The first time was in March 2015. The service was terrible and they were "out of" skillet queso????? Today we arrived around 1:40 PM on father's day knowing there would be a wait. There were a lot of pissed off people in the lobby. The hostess told us it would be at least 40 minutes and we were ready to wait until....the other people started talking. At least four groups had been waiting over an hour. Meanwhile there were at least four empty tables in sight. They seemed to be confused about the whole situation and at one point stopped answering questions. They don't know how to run a restaurant. We went next door to caring and we're seated in 5 minutes. read more

This is probably my favorite place to eat in Victoria. I always know I'll be able to get something I like. The sliders are my go-to, but the actual burgers are good. The pasta's good, too. I wouldn't really recommend the tacos, though. I think the cook went a little heavy on the seasoning. My waiters are always really nice and super helpful. If you go earlier in the evening, you can usually find a good place to sit. When it's slow, I've never had a wait time. And even when it's busy, I've only waited about twenty minutes for a seat. It's a good place for lunch, too. read more

Daughter loves the chips and salsa. Food is always cooked the right way. Service is typical for Texas. Seems like they change service quite often. read more

I use to love this place but the last few times I have been there they have ran out of dos on draft and they have terrible management.

Every time we decide on Chili's we are 100% satisfied. The service is always out standing. And the menu has something to satisfy what ever we are craving. The quality of the menu items are always consistent. The deserts are fabulous. Chili's is one of our favorite spots when we decide to dine out. Their specials fit everyone's budget. read more

Our server was amazing, super kind and sweet and couldn't have asked for better service. Although they were short staff and working everyone double shifts, therefore it was quite a wait. read more

It's the best place with good margaritas but the waitress for got are chips and salsa.

Horrible experience here. My daughter with special needs was stared at by a young girl around 9 behind the desk. She was standing next to the woman taking your name for a table. 10 minute wait was 20 minutes. Waitress named Rosa was horrible. After our meals came, we never saw her again. Never checked back on us. I paid using the self pay machine at the table, grabbed a to go box at the waitress station and left. Never will I go back to this place. Customer service is everything. They don't have it!!! read more

The wait was long. The hostess was rude. The waiter was horrible. We only got one refill on drinks! Food was great but we are just going to order carry out next time. read more

Been here twice. First time boarder line inedible food and terrible service, 2nd time after waiting 5 min at the front for a hostess and having been ignored by 2 servers and the bartender, we just left and walked across the parking lot. Skip it and just go to road house. read more

Terrible service & there weren't crowded. Never place a call in order they either won't take it after 8 per Shaun/Shawn or it takes 30 to 45 minutes during the weekday. Host seats a party 2 at a table for 8 since a lot of the tables are dirty and when I asked for a booth she says you'll have to wait. Really! read more

Chili's - the interior of a restaurant - American Near Me - Victoria, Texas

Sunday night dinner disaster! The restaurant wasn't very busy. To be seated we waited 20 min before telling the girl at the front we would take the open booth for 4 adults and a 3 year old. She wanted to sit us at a bigger booth and wait for the party of 30 to leave for another 30 min wait. Once seated the server didn't take our drink order for 15 min (he was not attending the large table). Then they were out of many meals. The service was slow and unfriendly and the check to be split 2 ways was a disaster and took 10 min to fix. Not going back. Over the years this place has sadly declined as a suitable choice for a quick decent meal stop. read more

Food is better than most chain restaurants. The margaritas however are freaking awesome!! Service is hit and miss, at times could not be better, other times it leaves much to be desired. It is also an excellent idea to call ahead for reservations as there is typically a wait. This could probably be remedied if they could find or schedule more wait staff. read more

At first the server was good but that lasted all of 5 minutes. He waited 15 minutes for our appetizer and its been almost 30 for our main food and we r still waiting and to get a refill i almost had to trip him. He is tending more to the bug tables than us. I guess he doesnt know that small table tips good too. read more

Waited an hour and thirty minutes just to get seated. I had two kids who was starting to get cranky after the first hour. I would have left but the kids love this place and usually eats everything. Once we got seated it took another hour just to get our order and eat. Our order came either warm or cold. I just to told them just to eat it because we were not going to wait another hour for reorder. The manager needs to get it together because there were empty tables and people still waiting to get seated. Three hours at chili's just to eat is ridiculous. read more

The worst bar service I have ever experienced! Literally no bartender for 10-15mins at a time. Very sad

Worst service ever! 11am 20 separate parties waiting to be seated. No hostess, no servers, why are they open? Don't come here or to Victoria or better known as Ictoria! read more

Slow as molasses. It is Saturday night but isn't busy, just steady. I'm a server myself (at another restaurant)and this is ridiculously slow. I ordered mixed fajitas and they came out without tortillas which took about 5 minutes to come to the table after the fajitas arrived. Our waitress hardly checked on us and I see a lot of staff just standing around talking and drinks took forever to come out in the beginning (iced tea). The food wasn't bad. Wasn't the best I've had at chillis before though either. The booths seats and floor was very dirty. The booth definitely needed to be wiped down more when they sat us. read more

I'm so disappointed in how this Chili's is managed. We got to the restaurant right after church on Sunday and had a group of 8. I understand there will be a crowd after church, but we arrived 10 minutes after 12:00 and there were a couple of groups ahead of us. We were told it would be a 30 minute wait, which we were ok with. We had 2 small children with us that were hungry and becoming impatient. Group after group were seated before us, even large groups that arrived after we did. After waiting an hour, we finally saw two tables beside each other open up, so we felt confident we would be seated as soon as they cleaned the tables off, but to our amazement, they began seating two different groups at the tables. We asked one of the hostesses why we hadn't been seated, yet. She told us it's because the servers already had too many large groups and we were going to have to wait until one of the large groups left, and she couldn't tell us how much longer we would have to wait. We asked to see the manager and she told us that he was busy. After telling her we demanded to see the manager, about five minutes later, he comes out of the kitchen and tells us he is sorry, but they are very busy and there is nothing he can do. What happened to good customer service and doing what you can to make your customers happy? This is the last time we will ever come to this Chili's ever again. read more
