Chili's Grill & Bar review: the drink was terrible 47

Put on your big-girl panties & deal with it. Did you ask the server for a new drink? They would have gladly mixed you a new one. You yourself, even said they were newly opened----I'm sure it was chaotic, new employees, dinner rush, salt & sugar look pretty identical to me...Beef your concern in an adult manner. Chili's is an awesome restaurant! I just wish we had one in our city = (

Had dinner in Carlisle Chili's on 2/7. Ribs were overcooked to the point of being dried out and the salad was nothing but some greens (of which the romaine was discolored and black around the edges) and had nothing but carrots, cheese, some chopped tomatoes and many, many croutons.

Very disappointed that I cannot access the chilis website today.

Sub: Presidente margarita

Ss my drink arrived the shaker it comes in was not full. I asked for a full one. the waitress (not apologetically) took it back. Then I noticed the glass was dirty. Within too short of time to add more margarita, she was back with the shaker a little fuller but still not to the top. I asked for a clean glass, showing her the debris on the inside of the glass. She, again left with the glass. Shortly another person showed up with another glass, not identifying himself. He stood there silently while I filled the glass. I asked my wife what she wanted, thinking he was the waiter. He responded I'm not the waiter, I'm making sure you are happy with your drink, then he left. When the waitress returned I asked her if it was too much to ask for a full drink and a clean glass, without someone hovering over me like I was causing trouble. I payed with a Debit card, not leaving a tip. Later I noticed my card was not returned to me and it was never found! I love Chili's food but am turned off by this treatment.

Just wanted to let corporate know that the bartender at chili's in St Augustine Florida was rude to me as a customer. I've spent years going to this restaurant because the food is great and the atmosphere is nice. Today, asked the bartender (Eric) to give my bill. Since I didn't think he heard me, I asked again. He lost his cool in front of other customers and said he was too busy and I had to wait. That fine, but don't raise your voice in front of customers especially with me since I spend a great deal of money with Chili's.

This is the second time I've had to deal with rude bartenders. I reported the first time to the store manager and he put this person out in the dinning room waiting tables.

The bottom line is, regardless of what the customer request, do not make some smart remarks when you don't care how if the company is making a profit.

This person has told me he wants to quit and make a change so I suppose this is why he has a bad attitude.

Was given filthy dirty mugs to drink our soft drinks from. We did not even receive our food yet, and I found food particles on the inside of the cups, looks like they have been used 2 or 3 times already. Chili's is off my list.

We attempted to have dinner at the Chili's restaurant on College Pkwy, Ft. Myers Florida Saturday, Feb 9th. We waited at our table for one hour for our meal. The waitress asked us twice if we wished to speak to the manager when we complained. He came over after one hour and told us that they were our of ribs. Evidently their is a communications problem between the waitress and kitchen staff. We should have been informed at the beginning that their weren't ribs available to order. The manager was informed that he was an idiot. He then offered to call the police. We then informed him that the police don't care that he is an idiot.

I had lunch Feb.13 at the Chili,s 11329 Montgomery Rd. Cincinnati Oh. 45249. I got the Bottomless Soup &Salad. I was eating my soup and I took a bite and had a piece of plastic in that bite. I told the waiter we had ,all he said was it must of come from the pack of crackers we got with the soup. A few minuites later the manager came to our table.All he said was I heard you found something in your soup. He ask me if I wanted more soup.I told him no I was done.

Okay, Richard Muzyka, have you thought that maybe you get poor treatment from servers because you're rude? it does sound like your waitress made a mistake by not telling you if something was available or not, but that still does not give you the right to call anyone an idiot. Also, I can see by your perfect grammar and extensive knowledge of the English language, you are probably one of the customers that makes food servers bitter. Learn some manners.

I had ordered a combo platter with the Southwestern Tilapia. Mixed in with the salsa on top of the fish was a dead roach. The manager was very apologetic and admitted they had been having problems lately and were working on it (evidently not hard enough).

What are you all complaining about? I found a dead fly in my food after receiving the second plate that I sent back because it looked like a pile of barf. We were at Machensey Park, IL. The funny thing is it was 10 degrees out and no flies around. What do you think that was all about? The person I was with ordered the same thing and it was perfectly postioned on the plate, so yes I did send it back. Thanks Chilis for a wounderful experience!
By the way a cook in Wisconsin put pubic hair in a steak that was not done right and when the waitress brought it back out again, well you know what happened. The COOK got three years for intentionally putting his pubics in the steak.
IT IS A FELONY IF YOU MESS WITH SOMEONES FOOD. SO DON'T!

THE WAITRESS WAS AWSOME! THANK YOU!

I am not sure about these complaints but I have one from a Visit to Chili's in Pace, Florida.
on 3/2/08 we had lunch at that location and used a gift card that we received for Christmas. When we got the receipt back the waitress had taken our bill from the card along with using the rest of the gift card on my brother's bill. When I got home and realized this had been done, I immediately called the manager and he pulled the paperwork and saw that this had been done. He assured me the he would take care of this and I would hear from him soon through the mail. Today is 3/16/08 and I still have not heard from him.

Not a good way to get a repeat customer.

Do you plan on building a Chili's In Sun City Center Florida?

You would fill the restaurant every day.

Thank you.

I, along with my wife and child have just returned from dining at your restaurant in Auburn Hills, Michigan ( by Great Lakes Mall)
I feel you need to be made aware of the incompetence and indifference of your manager there, I believe his name is Terry ?
We ordered desert, these arrived in due time (as had the main courses, it should be said) when the waitress handed me my dish with cheesecake on, I immediately informed her there was a long human hair on the plate, she apologized and duly took this back to the kitchen.

Some minutes later the "manager" returned the cheesecake to me. His words of apology were "Sorry 'bout that, that was gross" I agreed that it was gross, I then noticed the plate he returned with, was the same one that had been sent back to the kitchen !, whether it was the same piece of Cheesecake I really don't know, but by the markings in the sauce on the plate it clearly had not been cleaned or changed. I then told him to take it away as I had no desire to eat it after seeing the plate had not been changed and to deduct it from my bill, which was done.

I find it incredible that a chain of restaurants such as yours, allows so called managers to be so unconcerned about hygiene, customer service and common civility in a restaurant of all places.Maybe you should review more carefully the caliber of "managers" you employ? certainly some customer service training, or a crash-course in basic hygiene and good manners would seem appropriate.
Is this type of service "the norm" in the Chilies food chain?

We just had dinner at Chilis in Zachary, LA. The service and the food were awful. I asked to speak to a manager and they said one was not available. I have had good meals there before. But this meal was horrible. The silverware was dirty and I had to ask for clean ones twice! The waitress explained they were really busy however the place was less than half full. I think the manager was away and the cats just played.

Chili's in Sumter has the lousiest service and rudest waiters. Or should I see female servers. We quit going because of the nasty tone and lack of polite service of waitress help.

we ahave all, at one time or another received bad service or not so good food. Life is what it is.
You will always get more flies with honey than with vinegar. Be kind to the servers and you will usually get the service that we all expect. chili's is my favorite Rest. I have to say that I have consistently gotten grea service and great food time after time. If you have feel you have not gotten your money's worth, ask for a manager, and kindly explain your situation. They will make it right.
Good always out does the bad. TRUST !

I went to Chilli's for lunch today and have to say it SUCKED! I ordered the mini size bite burgers and a salad. I am not going to sit her and camplain about the salad...(i actually like it)...but, must say when they brought my mini's out...they were COLD! It was if they premade the burger? I don't expect Chilli's to be a 5 star resturant but, I did not expect them to be a burger king or mc donald's either with premade food! When I Informed the Manager It was if I had done something wrong for asking for a HOT Burger...GEZZZZZ...I got the hovering, not getting a refill and the worst part is...I don't get to eat lunch with my hubby...he had already finshed his food bout time my got back. I will not return to that Chilli's or another for awhile!

THEY ARE THE WORSE I WENT THERE WITH MY FAMILY AND IM AFRICAN AMERICAN WHEN WE GOT THERE WAS THREE CAUCASIAN COUPLES AND WE ORDERED APPETIZERS AND TWO MORE CAUCASIAN FAMILIES CAME IN AND ORDERED.WE RECIEVED THE APPETIZERS BUT NEVERE GOT SERVED OUR MEAL AND EVERYONE ELSE GOT SERVED BEFORE US IF WE HADN'T SAID ANYTHING WE WOULD STILL BE SITTING THERE TODAY ! WE FELT DISCRIMINATED AGAINST AND LEFT WE WILL NEVER GO BACK !

I am upset because my favorite salad of all time is the Carribbean salad with the wonderful dressing and it has been taken off the menu. Please put it back on the menu so I have a reason to continue to dine at Chili's.

Gloria, what is that your saying?

Live in Diamond Bar Ca, Went to a Chili's Resturant that was new in town, met up with some friends to have a drink. We ended up having two beers a piece and a shot of tequila, had a meal and was told that we could not order any more drinks.Mind you that we were at the bar area and it was monday night football that night.We were told that we were too loud and that they would not serve us any more drinks.I will never enter a Chili's again! Iwrote to management and was told that they would get back to me and never did...So if you live in Diamond Bar Ca ask Ed Zavala about his experience with chili's management and enjoy yourselves at Apple Bees in Walnut Ca..

I was seerved at Chills in Vero Beach Fl by Nick oct 25th. He gave me a slip to complete a survey. I was unable to find the internet site. I just wanted to say that Nick did a wonderful job He was friendly and very compentent. I had a chicken meal and the soup was great. My daughter and I go quite friequently to Chillis. We always enjoy the food. they are getting ready to refurbish the site. We are looking forward to seeing the new decor. Margaret

Last Sunday I took my family to Chili's on hwy 31 at Greenwood, IN. Since our family get together happens only once a year I want the experience to be a great one. We will NEVER choose Chili's again for this special even! The hostess sat our lare group at two separate booths instead of a table and things went downhill from there. The waitress was rude and laughed derisevly when we were not familiar with your menu and had to ask questions. She was overly attentive to only my son - the only adult male in our group - and the attention was not appreciated by me or his wife. The standing very close and touching him was more appropriate to a bar. This was not the kind of solicitation one would expect at a family restaurant. This is the second time I personally have been to a Chili's and won't waste my money on making it a third time! It made our family dinner a less than great experience.

As I have discussed this with friends I get similar comments from them. In today's economy perhaps some staff training is necessary if you intend to remain in business.

I took the men and a few others family members to Chilis for Father's Day on 57th Avenue. The services was disaterous. We had to find a waiter (Jordan) and he was friendly but very slow. We waited so long that it seemed to be forever. We had to continue to ask for things which should have been automatice. I have been to this Chilis often and have never encounter this caliber of services. Consequently, even though the bill was $142, I only signed for him to get $15.00. I felt the need to let you know in case he complained.

Myself, my husband, and my 6 year old son had dinner with 2 other friends at the Chilis in Lenoir City, TN. on 12/17/09. Although everyone's dinner was ok, my son had milk to drink with his meal. Over the course of the meal, he had one full cup of milk and the waitress brought him another, of which he had about 5-6 sips. His dinner was a salad with ranch dressing, and a grilled cheese sandwich. A few moments after he was through eating, he got very quiet at the table. I asked him if he was okay and he said his stomach was hurting, so I got up to take him to the restroom (which was on the other side of the restaurant). As we walked past the front door, he suddenly says he was going to throw up. The only thing I knew to do was to run out the front door with him. He was already vomitting as we were on the way out the front door, but he was holding his hand over his mouth (granted a little of the vomit was running out of his hand and onto the floor, but he held his hand over his mouth to keep from letting ALL the vomit hit the floor). We got to a "rock bed type" area and he vomitted about 6 times. IMMEDIATELY I noticed the vomit smelled extremely sour. So I went back inside just wanting to pay the bill and go. Then one of the friends I was with told me to smell the milk to make sure it was ok. I smelled it and HOLY MOLY--it was horribly sour! Both of my friends smelled it and even from the look on their faces, it was obvious that something was wrong with the milk. They cringed at the smell of it. I took it to the manager and the first thing I said to him was, "I am SO sorry but my son got sick and threw up outside.." Then he interrupted me and said (very rudely, I might add) "Yeah, I know!" So--a few deep breaths later, I asked him to smell the milk. He did, looked at me and said (very sarcastically) "Smells fine to me! I can't smell anything wrong with it!" Now I was mad, so I said "Well then..here, take a drink of it." His response was "I don't drink after people." I said "Well, of course you don't..especially when you know you're going to have to drink soured milk!" So I walked away from him, went back to the table, where my waitress was standing and I asked her to smell it. She immediately cringed and remarked about how bad it smelled. She apologized for the milk and expressed concern in that she hoped my son was ok. So, I wanted out of there so badly just to get my son home, I paid the bill and went to leave. On the way out the door, the mgr approached me with an almost full gallon of milk, shoved it in my face and said "See, the expiration date is 12/28/09!" I told him it looked like he had just opened that gallon and given the 2 cups that were brought to my son, there was no way his milk could have been poured out of that gallon (this current gallon was missing MAYBE a couple of ounces)! He then told me that he had taken a sip of this milk and it was fine, then told me that son was probably just lactose intolerant! To which I replied "No, after 6 years of drinking milk, he's not lactose intolerant, he is sour milk intolerant like every other human on the face of the earth, but if it made him lay his head down at night, he could believe what he wanted to believe, but I WOULD WITHOUT A DOUBT be contacting the regional manager and the corporate office. So when we got home, my husband told me that while I was outside with my son, MY HUSBAND offered (to that same manager) to clean up the vomit on the floor inside if someone would just bring him a mop. This manager rudely said "NO!" and just walked away from him then proceeded to come back with a BROOM AND DUST PAN to clean up vomit! So just an FYI to those of you that want to go to Chilis in Lenoir City, TN...there has been a bodily fluid on the floor of that restaurant that a MANAGER cleaned up with a BROOM AND DUST PAN! Not a mop and disinfectant! YUM YUM...enjoy your meal, don't drink the milk and if you need to puke, please do so on the shoes of the manager named Rob Lacey! JERK!

Chili's has always been my favorite place until tonight. My family and I visit at least twice a month and I don't think they value customers much. I had a waitress tonight curse me out and make a big scene because I asked her not to reach over my plate. She was unfriendly from the beginning and wasn't attentive at all. I spoke with the manager and he seems very incompetent asking me what do I suggest he do. I'm thinking really, so I need to tell you how to manage your employees. With that kind of management I see why the employee is rude. I am so upset by this and honestly wanted to smack her but I know that wouldn't be right. I don't appreciate paying money to receive rude service. I didn't fill out her application if she don't like her job she should quit. Also food wasn't good, I had to send my drink back twice before it was correct and by then it was watered down. I definitely will contact corporate Monday. By the way this happened on 1/18/13 in Southaven, ms.

My friend and I went to chilis in romeovil, le, ill march 1.2015. went both ordered crispy chicken tenders. we did the 2 for 20.00 . Well we were eating and talking about things, I was picking up a fry, under itand a piece of hair ws ther, I calee the waitress over and showed her, asked the manager, he loked at it. when he came to the table and said he could do 24.oo for one of the meals because we did 2for 20.i said that was a lot of money to pay, and his workers need to watch what they are doing when cooking.He also said he would have to see what he could do on the computer for us. well he came back and said he would charge $17.42 and he said THE CHIPS WAS A GOODWILL FROM HIM, I still wasn't happy knew it he just said sorry. I have been to another chili and found food in the food, they said it was on them. You would think he would want the person coming to their restaurant to behappy. I don't understand why it wasn't less.It was a man that was a man manager wprking but on my bill it says Jill stockman. I usually don't complain like this but I am not going to step foot in another chilis because of this issue.

How about this i worked for chilis for two to three weeks i had to leave due to my mom getting ill i had direct deposit set-up and i have yet received pay for hours that i worked and believe me i worked hard and i have tried to call and e-mail them but can not get a answer. Donna L, Tucker

On most weekends six of us go to Chili's, have dinner and than a movie, for the first time ever I had a bad meal at the
River Front restaurant.;.I order the small steak without the butter, when got the steak it had the butter...the server sent it back, but within minutes, less than 5, I had a new steak..the problem, " how could the new steak cook that fast *(medium-well)?"..it was over cooked, cold, couldn't eat it, seems like a steak sent back bu another customer?
. Second problem, the mash potatoes had bacon in it, don't eat bacon, sent back. I enjoy chili's, very disappointed this visit.

My daughter and I went to Chili's at carson yesterday afternoon, we got there at 545 pm and there is a little line, we got to our table and everything and our waiter took our order she is very nice and polite 6pm, one request that I ask her " please do me a big favor my daugther is diabetic and she need to have her meal ASAP because she already inject insulin before we leave the house, we are 5 minutes away from the restaurant, my daughter order 6oz Sirloin well done, our waiter told me that well done might take a little longer and I said ok, she bring us chips and salsa just for her to have something, but she cant it chips, she started feeling dizzy while we are waiting for our food. 620pm finally food arrived and she already sweating having stomach ache, she feel like wanted to throw up, and I said go to the bathroom, I was so busy trying to talk to her that she need to eat to feel better, I did not realized that the waiter did not bring us steak knife, I'll have to wait for her to come up and I decided to ask the waiter next table to bring us steak knife, he smile and shake his head I don't know what he meant by that. 10 minutes later steak knife arrived first thing I did is cut the steak into small pieces because my daughter has no energy anymore I can tell probably of the medicine, then I realized we don't have a steak sauce wait for another couple minutes and I decided to get up and ask the hostess to bring us steak sauce, with those time is wasted she should have eating her meal instead of waiting and steak knife and sauce should bring automatic once customer order steak right? why we have to wait to get a steak knife?the whole time she was not able to eat her steak due of waiting, probably she lost her appetite or something...we are walking to the car and she started throwing up at the parking lot, I am not blaming anybody but this should not happen if our waiter really care what I requested right? by the way she just diagnosed with diabetes almost 2 weeks ago and we are all new using the insulin, now I remember doctor told us, once insulin is injected she has to eat right away. I just really disappointed with the poor service ..the reason why we go there is her school is raising money...sorry for my english hopefully you understand my sentence...

My receipt information is
Server; Stevie (Female)
Table 37/ 1

My contact information is if you want to write back thank you.

JHONL75@yahoo.com

They pre ordered. When they brought the food, it is customary to ask what else is needed. Nor is it okay for a server to ignore a request, even if it is not their table. It sounds lime really bad service. What part of they are new to this condition, do you not understand?!

Chili's on a Friday at 5:45 and you got your food by 6:30... I do not see that they did anything to hurt your daughter.
I also agree that the steak sauce was not needed to make your daughter get some food into her.

Had the worst service I have ever had at a restaurant Friday night 10/19/18. It took 40 minutes to get the appetizer of loaded winds. And other hour to get our meals. I got the mushroom jack chicken fajitas with rice and fixings. She brought me only the chicken w/burnt mushrooms and everything. Nothing else. Sent it back. Had to bring home to eat.

Ordered med rare. This was lunch at work. Not edible so I have no lunch today. It was raw. Cold. And tough Nothing more to say see the pick

robert guerrero [protected] ...

Burger was well done and I had ordered it medium

I eat Mexican food all the time love it but this is the first I've been charged for chips and salsa. I've been to eight different countries in South America and was never charged what is up with knock off Chili's El Cheapo? Like $5.00 with tax if I had known I would not of ordered need a refund El Cheapo Chili's.

To whom it may concern,

My name is Taylor. I made an online order on August 23 of 2019. My food was cold and salty. I made an online purchase because I skipped lunch and was rushing to get home from school. It was really disappointing because i couldn't eat my food, I gave it to my dogs. Thank you in advance for you concern.

Food was stale
