Our experience with Chili's in Santee, California, was extremely disappointing from beginning to…read moreend. First, we had to drive approximately 20 miles to pick up our food because this was the closest location available to us. Despite the drive, our food was not ready at the scheduled pickup time. When we finally received our order, the food was cold, and several items were incorrect. Mistakes happen, and I understand that. That is why I called the manager--not to demand a refund, request compensation, or have anyone remake our food. I simply wanted to bring the situation to his attention as a courtesy so he would be aware of the problems with our order. Unfortunately, the manager's response was completely unacceptable. Instead of listening to my concerns or demonstrating any interest in resolving the issue, he immediately suggested that I must have ordered the food incorrectly through the website. He then asked for my email address, even though I explained that I was not looking for compensation. I reiterated that I was not going to drive another 20 miles back to the restaurant and that I was simply calling to make him aware of the situation. Rather than handling the conversation professionally, the manager became upset and hung up on me. Let that sink in: I wasn't calling to argue, demand free food, or ask for my money back. I was simply offering the restaurant an opportunity to be aware of a poor customer experience. In return, I was blamed for the mistake and treated disrespectfully by the very person responsible for managing the restaurant. Cold food, an incorrect order, and a delayed pickup are already disappointing. However, being treated this way by management made the experience significantly worse. Customer service matters just as much as the food. Mistakes can happen in any restaurant, but how a business responds to those mistakes speaks volumes about its management and its respect for customers. After this experience, I would have a hard time recommending this Chili's location to anyone. A little accountability, professionalism, and common courtesy would have gone a long way. One star is more than this experience deserved.

The Bacon was perfectly cooked and the Salsa I was given on the side was tasty on the Eggs. My only complaint is I asked for a Tropical Tea (it's on the menu). The guy taking our drink orders kind of snapped at me saying, we don't have Tropical Tea! Not a huge deal but worth mentioning.

Apparently my definition of "excessive" is different from theirs because I definitely could've used more, keep piling them on on!

We were seated in the bar area, which concerned me a little because that often means the server is also bartending. That was the case tonight, but fortunately for us, Alyssa was absolutely fantastic! You would never have known she was also tending bar, especially considering the entire bar area was full. She was very friendly, attentive, and kept our drinks full throughout the evening. Honestly, this was some of the best service I've received anywhere in a very long time, and we eat out A LOT! Alyssa was so amazing that my husband asked to speak with her manager just to make sure she received the recognition she deserved. I'm sure managers usually hear more complaints than compliments, so it's important to give praise when it is truly warranted. The food was also extra good tonight. We ordered the Campfire Feast for Two and started with the burnt ends guacamole and chips. It was so flavorful and delicious, and the chips were fresh and really good too. My husband and I both ordered the New York strip, and both steaks were cooked perfectly as ordered. The salads were good, and we also enjoyed the asparagus and corn on the cob. We finished with the chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream, which was fresh and yummy too. Alyssa made the entire experience wonderful, and the food made the night even better. I would give her 10 stars if I could!

Overall humiliating…read more We had to wait about thirty minutes prior to getting seated. However, at least two other groups of customers got to get seated MUCH SOONER than we were, and it was both for a table for two (which we had opted for), and a table for three. I felt incredibly insulted by this disservice, and I was sincerely about to head to the hostess stand where our name was called up just right on the dot of three-to-four minutes past the guaranteed thirty minutes maximum. I just knew otherwise we were getting had the moment we sat on the bench of the lobby. Being in the restaurant was far more stifling than being outside, which begs the question as to whether or not they were using the air conditioning unit. This was unfortunately adding to our discomfort and frustration, overall. While the hostess led us to our table, she asked us how we were doing. I simply replied, "tired and hungry", which she replied "oh, I'm sorry to hear that". Wait, what? It's literally the evening, and it's dinnertime. What's wrong with those feelings? They're perfectly normal. I found that rather weird. As we were seated, we were greeted by a familiar waitress whom we saw plenty of times at another restaurant, which we were pleased to see--she was quite the sight for sore eyes. However, as we placed our orders, it took quite some time in between before the appetiser came, after the bread and butter, and all after that the main courses. Looking at the dessert menu, otherwise, showed that several of their cakes came straight from The Cheesecake Factory, which made me feel uncertain about how I felt about that. I took particular interest in the crème brulee, as well as the "chef's choice dessert", or whatever it was. The bread was pretty much from The Cheesecake Factory, since I also see those in grocers nearly EVERYWHERE. It was painfully mediocre, but I could live with that. The appetiser I had was pretty bang on in my opinion; the coffee was decent. The main courses were incredibly underwhelming. Both our prime rib and filet mignon steaks were unseasoned, hard to cut and chew, and was missing so much of what they usually have to offer. Our asparagus spears were very difficult to chew, as if the cook who did the prep work did not cut the spears correctly, and left the bark on the spears. The baked potatoes were NOT cooked all the way through, which started off okay, but ended in dissatisfaction. I do not recall eating a filet mignon that was so chewy and lacked the tenderness and juicyness they're known for. I had barely considered hailing their manager over who the hell was their supplier and why are their steaks so terrible. After that experience, I was further discouraged from waiting any longer for their dessert, thinking how anyone could muck up something purely simple like this, and how if this is how they do their steaks, I seriously CANNOT imagine how they do their Tomahawk steak. Overall, I felt extremely insulted. I don't know how they're attracting any business at all with such a painful experience, and with what cooks who clearly had zero pride in their work. I don't think any of this really beats Chili's by any margin. If you really wanted a proper steak dinner, you can at least spend a few more minutes across the road for Texas Roadhouse, which is a restaurant we've had a lot of great luck in, and it costs roughly the same for the same stuff anyways, sans filet mignon.

The place was packed when we got there, but we were able to get seated immediately out back. As such, I only saw the outside and never got to see the inside. The outdoor area was spacious, with plenty of tables, all covered with umbrellas for plenty of shade. The tablecloths had fall leaves on them, which nicely matched the season. For lunch, I went with the pork chorizo and eggs, while my wife got the huevos rancheros. One twin ordered a quesadilla, and the other got mac and cheese. The food came out relatively quickly, and all of our plates were absolutely massive! I mean, I'm pretty sure my mother-in-law received more than a pound of pasta with her chicken pasta salad. My plate ended up being half chorizo and eggs and half refried beans. I was able to choose between corn and flour tortillas and went with corn. My meal here ended up being pretty good, as I found it quite filling and everything on my plate was well seasoned. If I had one complaint, it was that I wish I could have tasted the chorizo a bit more. I could see it and taste it somewhat, but it didn't punch through like I had hoped. My wife also enjoyed her huevos rancheros and thought the sauce was her favorite part. My daughter's quesadilla was quite good as well, with flavorful cheese, and it seemed like the quesadilla itself had been cooked with butter. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. All our food here was good, the portions were massive, and we enjoyed the outdoor dining.
