The service was amazing! The steak was cooked amazingly Chris was our server tonight and he was so respectful and easy to work with, definitely amazing!! read more

I honestly don't even want give this place one star. Excuse my language but our waitress, Marissa, was a complete dumbass. Kept setting my husbands beers on the corner of the table and never saying anything to let us know that it was there so he knocked one over by accident. The manager who brought the next beer, was rude. Then my husband wanted a shot before we left mind you he's only had two beers and one shot and before we left and the bartender told him yes and the manager told him he wasn't going to serve him. And we had asked for butter when the waitress brought it and slipped.. spilled it on the floor next to us and never cleaned it up! Our friend also never got the beer she ordered and she was the first to order! We will not be back. read more

Great food and wonderful service from Connie!! I can't say enough good things about this lady, she was personable, polite, and quick!

Wednesday night, I downloaded the app to get call ahead seating. Easy. We were seated within minutes of entering. Our friendly waitress showed up soon thereafter to get our drink order. We all get Dr Pepper, as their tea isn't much to brag on. My son ordered the chili dip in a skillet n chips. She quickly returned with correct drinks and said appetizer. Son ordered the chicken quesadillas, husband orders ribs, fries, and is convinced to up size the little mini molten for the full size for $2 difference. I ordered the mango talapia, sub corn on cob for rice. By the time the appetizer is devoured, our food arrives hot. The quesadilla has chicken that appears to be shredded, not fajita style, with scant cheese. The ribs are not very meaty. But mama is very happy with the VERY SPICY glaze on the cooked right fish topped with a mango jalapeno relish, bright green broccoli, and tender, juicy corn on the cob. The green salad I snagged from my nonveggie eating son was topped with a small amount of cheese, dressing, and croutons. We got the dessert to go, which turned out to be a large, tender, chocolate bundt cake with a gooey chocolate center, a side of vanilla ice cream, with caramel, and melted chocolate crackle topping. Our waitress was great and the food satisfied . The only complaint was the crying toddler at the next table, who occasional screams tore at our nerves. Been there, done that, so to a point, I can tolerate. read more

It's fairly good. I love to get the grilled chicken salad. I love the cheese cake and the molten cake even if I get one bite because I share with my greedy siblings. read more

First off I would like to say most of the time this chili's has good service. This time around we had to wait 30 min for someone to even ask us what we wanted to drink. We sat for another 30 min after the order was placed and no one even checked on us. Then after I asked for the ticket it took another 10 min to get the ticket. The excuse management gave was they were busy. When we got here it wasn't even busy. If you want good service at chili's avoid this one and go to the one on Hwy 351. read more

This restaurant has gone downhill fast. Just recently, a few from the kitchen staff were let go because of a group photo where one actually mooned the camera in the kitchen. Our last visit was not a good experience either. It was tough to get a table (we were a party of 5+1 child). Our waitress was not available to take our order, so another waitress attempted to help us. It took several minutes to get our order placed. Then we only got partial portions of our meal. Meals that had fries, were returned 3 times because they were cold. After eating part of our meal, because the rest did not show up till late, we had a visit from the manager. He advised he was new from another restaurant from South Texas, and asked if we wanted a free desert. That was the best he could do to make up for our poor experience. We hesitated to pay the ticket, but did with no gratuity. read more

I been hiding from the boss all last Friday its around 3 or 4 right, just a few more hours left. I started day dreaming of the great weekend coming up... "The Boss" going to have me come in on Saturday to work on the TPS reports...I blew it off and went to Chili's!!! You should too.. read more

See all

Ordered beef nachos for lunch from chili's. GROSS‼. They smell weird. Not like beef either. A ton of salt. A ton of chili powder. Not sure what the flavor is but not eating another. No flavor other than salt & hot. So disappointing, I used to love their nachos. Is all the salt covering something else? Scary food. read more

Chili's - Tex-Mex Near Me - Abilene, Texas

This place is ridiculous! Waited for over 30 minutes for drinks, because the bartender wasn't assertive enough to get the manager to unlock the cabinet. Hamburger came out with wilted lettuce and hot mayo because it had been sitting under the warmer for so long. All the MOD could do is make excuses! Unless you have an hour and a half to kill for lunch, avoid this joint! read more

We enjoyed a lunch at Chili's. We ordered a reg old timers hamburger, crispy chicken and potato soup. Everything was good. The staff was pleasant and it was a good experience read more

Well, I am usually a big fan of Chili's but this One, not so much. Let's see... Hostess hardly friendly at all and didn't even ask about a children's menu. The floor was quite gross but someone was going around trying to get everything up. Nobody even asked us for drinks for about 10-15 min. Then that took a while to get. Appetizer came pretty quick but the guacamole was flavorless and the salad was nothing more than juice in a bowl. Half and hour later, still no food. Sigh. Not even our soups came until she realized she forgot them as she delivered our meals... After 35 min. Waitress was friendly enough but overall, I think they are having a bad day. We are now all done and I will say that... If I didn't normally like this chain, I wouldn't come here again. read more

Chili's is a favorite of mine . The honey chipotle chicken strips are way good. It's so easy to order on the app and pick it up. If your looking for some good American food, Chili's is a good. I love the old timer as well. You can get on the waiting list from the app. read more

A really good restaurant, GREAT SERVICE and a good menu, I use them for my business meetings & I get good results and since I have really low rates on the electric, if they do not want to do the business, I just sign them up for the lowest rates they have ever seen! http://helping92.igniteinc.biz/ Our team meets there quite often! Because of the great atmosphere and service! Food is excellent!! read more

I love coming to chili's but had a bad serves this time. My waitress only took our order and refilled our water. I asked for an alcoholic drink and didnt get it till we were done eating and when I got it it was so water down it made me sick. You could tell by the ice and rim that it was sitting for awhile when I told my waitress she said "I watched them make it" if she did I would've gotten it at the start of my meal. She took the drink off the ticket and I appreciate that but it still was crappy service. Claudia was my waitress she is was short and kinda rude. Seemed to be over her head with all her tables. She needs to only have one table per shift read more

Me and my gal pals went to chili's for a bros night out and we were displeasingly over satisfied with our service. First of all the hostess seated us faster than we had anticipated leaving us unprepared. Next our waiter was way too enthusiastic and attentive to our needs. Everything came out suspiciously fast. He crowded our table with too many refills, I hadn't even finished one drink when he brought me another. The food was almost too good. I mean are they trying to get me fat or something?? Overall we would like to say this outing was NOT a waste of our time, in fact we got done too soon, causing us to have to hang out with each other afterwards. Ps. @Miguel, stop distracting me with your luscious locks. read more

Abilene isn't a big town and there are only so many places to eat out for dinner. Do yourself a favor and spend a few more minutes to drive to the store on the north side of town. The last time we ate at this location, it wasn't busy at all, but the tables and floors were filthy. The food took forever to arrive at the table, it was barely warm, and they had left off side orders. When we tried carry-out, the food was even colder and they seriously skimped on the french fries. I've worked in food service in the military for years, and the service here was completely sub par. Don't waste your time, money, or the chance to get food poisoning at this place. read more

Both times we ate here the food and service was great. The only issue we had was the entree coming near the same time as the appetizer on both visits....if you want to call that a problem. read more

We were there late and only for dessert and coffee. The service was a bit slow but the waiter explained the reason, which certainly always helps. He was very attentive. The giant cast iron cookie with ice-cream was to die for. The coffee was good, but not great. I consistently get good food and service at Chili's. I do not like their little order your own stuff and pay-out table kiosks. People are there...why do I need to key in my own stuff? Technology does not have to be EVERYWHERE, does it? read more

Most all of their offerings are great. My personal favorites are their ribs with the kicked up mashed potatoes and corn on the cob. The ribs are meaty, tender and their regular sauce is great. The potatoes are very flavorful and the corn is nice and long and has some delicious seasoning on it. Another person really likes the sliders and fries. I can't remember the name of the appetizer we got, but it was cheesy with some scoops of other things on top---delicious. Their desserts, which we sometimes get to share are very good too. All in all, one of the best places to eat in Abilene. read more

Really pissed off, right now. I use to order the Spinach dip. They took it off menu. I use to order the onions and jalapenos appetizer, taken off. I found a drink I like, Blood Orange Punch, taken off menu. Crispy Asparagus, gone. Just leave the Honey Chipotle Crispers ALONE!!!! read more

What this particular Chili's excels at is customer service. After having some good experiences at the restaurant on the north end of town we went to this particular location twice (as it is much closer to our house). The first experience was ok - brand spanking new waitress (who was too nice for her own good) and a good, cheap meal. They didn't have avocado slices like other locations, only prepared guac, but whatever. Our most recent eating experience here left a lot to be desired, however. They were PACKED - I guess this is the place to be in Abilene on a Friday night. Our food took a while to get out and some of our requests (no jalapenos) were ignored - I'm not sure who dropped the ball here, the kitchen or our waiter. They were out of Corona Light and the margarita that I ordered came out so thick that it was more like a snow cone and I don't think there was any tequila in there. Our meals were ok. The chicken on my salad was meager - much less than any of my previous visits and they were out of normal ranch dressing, only having jalapeno ranch. Our waiter forgot to give us any silverware and appetizer plates until we asked for them - and then we only got forks. For dessert they were out of both the chocolate and chocolate chip moltens (which we came to find out the north end was also out of) so we got the cheesecake. Now for the capstone to the night - it was still frozen when it came out! By this point we were complaining to the manager who quite surprisingly took care of our bill - we were really just informing her and hoping for maybe 10% off or something. I will give them another chance most likely (they're having a great promotion right now) but chances are it won't be on a Friday night with the rest of the town. read more

I love chili's I'd eat there everyday if I could. Yum yum yum yum yum. This is a good location off the highway and close to a bunch of hotels. read more

Service has always been awful. This last time, we didn't even stay long enough to put in a drink order. I'll stick to the North location.

Every time I eat here, I remember why I avoid this hole. Dirty, slow, and mediocre food. The north side Chili's is so much better. Our waitress was nice, but that was it. read more

Finally a half decent experience at this establishment. For Saturday night, my family and j were seated pretty quickly. The waitress was very nice and attentive. She checked on us often. For the first time EVER, everyone's food was nice and hot when it came out. I didn't know the southwestern eggrolls could be nice and crispy because every time I've ever ordered them they were soggy and Luke warm at best. Enjoyed our experience!!! read more

The service at the bar is horrible. I do like the draft selection. And the food is what you would expect from a Chili's. But I seriously waited 15 minutes for the only thing I ordered.....desert....really? read more

Not sure what is happening to Chilis , poor service, slow seating in an empty restaurant at noon, makes me wonder what is really going on there. Food average. Not enough servers or just poor kitchen ops. Disappointed the last few times. read more

Ok service. Kinda slow during second happy hour. Kayshawn the waiter came off a little prejudice at first. But after a while I realized that I was just impatient and began to think that I might be prejudice. Overall I'd say that Chili's has better Mexican food than all of the Mexican restaurants in Abilene. That may or may not be racist. Idk. read more

I had not been here in months because it had gotten so bad. The place is dirty, the service is awful, and the food horrible. Decided to try it again since this town is limited on restaurants. Didn't think it could be worse then a few months ago. I was wrong. Took over a hour to get our food. Took over 15 min to even have our drink order taken. Dirty glasses, dirty silverware, from the table we could watch the cooks outside smoking, which is really gross. This place needs a complete change it needs to be closed and cleaned, new staff, new management, new attitude. read more

Went here tonight around 7:00 for a birthday dinner-food was mediocre but our waitress, Ariel, was wonderful!! She had a full room of patrons and worked so hard to keep everyone served and kept a smile on her face the entire time! Thank you for being so great!! read more

UHHH YUM. This chili's service is kinda hit and miss but the food is consistent because I'm sure it comes from a bag but what the hay? You're not at chilis to eat healthy. read more

The food is always prepared correctly. I've never had to send a dish back. The staff is polite and helpful

Chilis needs to revamp their prices. I feel like food has gotten sky high for the value and there aren't really any good drink specials. They constantly send out emails about $5 drinks. You can't really afford more than one $5 drink so we have quit going. Even a draft beer is over $5. Happy hour doesn't really discount it very much. read more

This Chilis has gotten worse over the years. Honestly if you want Chilis in Abilene go to the north side one off I20 and HWY 351. Much better service. This one you can expect to wait an hour for your food. This visit we waited at the hostess station for 5 minutes with no hostess in dire. Finally the bartender came over and sat us. Our food then took an hour to get to the table. Last time we came here we had placed a to go order and when we came to pick up they were out of salad. How does that happen? They were nice and sent our order to the other Chilis though. Anyways the other Chilis even if out of your way is way worth it. read more

the drinks are awful..the hostess are even worse. the foods okay. Any other chilis I got to I get margaritas..this chilis I don't even bother it taste like I am drinking just the mix. this chilis is a disgrace. I also went there when they were having kidds kids..where a certain percent of your bill went to kidds kids..and our waiter had no idea what I was talking about and he never said anything about it again. bad staff. worse bartenders.. read more

We were on the road between Santa Fe and Austin and looking for a quick turn around. Chili's definitely fit the requirements. The drinks were speedy, and the food was good and quick. Cora was a great waitress - Thanks for making our pit stop a good one, we'll stop here in future. read more

Likely my last time to eat there. Not overly bad but just not good - there are much better places to eat for the money. Sad compared to what it used to be. read more

On the road and needed a quick turn around. Food and drinks were good and Cora was excellent. Thanks for making this pit stop a good one.

It's chili's. Mediocre food and lack luster service serving. Microwaved food, $30 for 2 people. They also stopped emailing coupons and instead have some stupid points system which doesn't make me want to come in more. They had more business from me when they sent the coupons. read more
