This is the halfway point for me traveling back to Western PA. More often than not I stop here to eat. This time around I sat right at the bar. The bartender was super attentive and friendly. I ordered the nachos. The came put perfect. So cheesy, so crunchy. I was basically in n out. read more

Love the 3 for Me deal and their chips, salsa, & queso always hit! The staff is super understanding and always willing to work with allergies, which I really appreciate. Everyone is very kind, and the service is quick. The Triple Dipper never disappoints, and their margaritas always hit. Definitely a go-to spot! read more

This location the parking is okay but if you don't get front row you get side or rear. And it's by a busy entrance, so you dodge cars. Staff is a 50/50 you either have okay service or horrible service. Only had a good server 1 time. Menu and food prices is the problem. They keep cutting things from the menu and jacking up the prices. Which I know isnt this location doing it on their own. But still. To many good options around to mess with that. Plenty of seats inside but most of the time they don't have enough servers so you will be waiting. Also it always seemed the staff were flirting with eachother while I was there. Multiple times.... read more

Restaurant was extremely busy this was at about noon on a Sunday. We were seated right away and we did order drinks (cola) that was served promptly. Our waitress was Michele. We weren't ready to order immediately and did take us a few minutes to decide. Once we did order it seemed like an eternity (was probably 35 or 45 minutes to get our order.) everything was pretty much cold. I had gotten fajitas and the skillet was hot but the meats up top were cold. My wife had tenders and a half quesadilla and while tasty it was also room temp so obviously it sat awhile and they forgot about is. The waitress did give us half off so that's nice. Wont be back maybe never. read more

Fast service! waitress was very nice, food was ok but it was the same as it usually is so not bad! Overall good experience!

Food is pricey for the quality , service is good but they use the electronic devices on the table covered with germs that old people don't like. The live service is good. Ambiance is not great but I was used to the original Chili's that was torn down to make way for a storage facility and a gas station. read more

As we walked in I could not help but see the messes left on tables; the floors full of old food, and even the walls plastered with food. This should have been a signal, but no, we sat down to order. After 15 minutes I got my order of Caesar salad?.. tasted good, but field greens are not usual in a Caesar salad. Now 20 minutes....24 minutes and husbands soup arrived, and my boneless wings and fries with his mushrooms? Been there done that. This used to be a great place to go. Never again. read more

Worst location in history! Terrible service! Terrible food! Deplorable conditions! How is this location still in business?!

I've been here a couple of times for various reasons - more recently for business luncheons, and the reason for my latest trip in. Larger sit down style place - ordered a Diet Coke and the table got free chips and salsa which I ate entirely too much of. Waitress was nice - refilled the teams drinks and kept up with us as we were the first table in through the door at 11am. I ordered a chicken grilled salad hoping that it would be filling and keep my calorie count low - went 1/2 on that front, with the chicken coming on it being ice cold and the calories low. The salad has a house dressing on it which had little to no flavor. Rest of the table got sandwiches, wings and burgers- meanwhile I was starved to death. Stay away from the salads. read more

They were very busy but got us in quickly and service and food were great! Thanks you for a job well done.

Food is always good. Servers were friendly and fast, even during their peak time. I think this location could be a little cleaner, anytime I am there during the day it's just easy to see the dust and dirty windows. The one thing I absolutely cannot stand in this specific location is the chairs. They are so loud and obnoxious anytime you move them, whether it's you or other people, that it is sometimes all you can hear in this place. Overall this is one of our families go to places. read more

I never leave reviews or do yelp (mainly bc it's for old people and complainers, mainly) but I logged on and saw this chilis had only a 3 star review so I thought I'd leave mine as well. I've been going to this chilis for years and they have never let me down. Friendly staff that always makes sure we get the best deals, foods always hot and comes out fast, and the consistency in how the meals taste is amazing. I love how fast we can get in and out and never feel rushed by the staff. Absolutely love this chilis! 10/10. read more

Amazing. I think our server's name was Brian. He was probably one of the most attentive servers ever without suffocating us. He wouldn't let my cup runneth empty, or even half-empty. read more

We love Chili's, we make it a point to come here every chance we get. One big reason is the service and food. Mike our server is the best and love to have him serve us when we visit. But our last visit we ask for Mike and they did not give us him, which is very upsetting to us. We will continue to come to Chili's but when you request a certain person you should honor that chili's. read more

Love it here! Always have a good time and great service. My only complaint is the salsa was basically water. Now, I come here for a nice, thick salsa. if I wanted water I would go to the lake. read more

Hi, welcome to Chili's! As your local resident Burger-Boy, I had to look at their options and Boy was there a lot. This place has a more vast and weird selection of burgers, so if you're feeling adventurous, step in. Of course I kept it simple with the Old Timer with Cheese, just for a base line to compare to other burgers. After 5 minutes or so, the food arrived and the burger was thin and huge. Took a bite of it and my mind immediately went to: "SWEET". There was a lot of mustard on this thing, to the point where all the other toppings were basically flavorless. Only other thing I could taste was the pickles and the patty itself, but I ordered more toppings on this, why couldn't I taste them? Overall, it was OK, but the lack of ketchup or mayonnaise on this really hurts it. read more

I'm sorry but it was horrible I did not get my money back for a hamburger we had sent back because it was all grease from the bun to the bottom of the bun with straight grease that's all you could taste couldn't even take one bite without spitting it out Will admit service was great read more

Been here a lot the past 2 years big fan of the honey chipotle chicken crispers with waffles, attached this time is their new fajita item Carnitas, oh boy is it good, plus chicken as my second meat, great service, good price, better food. Never and issue here read more

The hostess was unprofessional and very passive aggressive. I think he should have taken the evening off! Very rude. Wait staff great and food was good as well! read more

Chilis is usually good and the food was fine. However it was something else to see two of the wait staff fight over who had to be stuck with my wife and I. Once the loser of The Who-wants-to-talk-to-us-contest had to talk to us she rushed through our order cutting my wife off and barely taking a second to listen to my simple request of requesting a different dipping sauce. read more

Now why I ordered a burrito when I could have crossed the street and gotten one from Chipotle, I do not know. This is far from what the picture shows on the menu. The beans were cold, the chicken was barely flavored but the waitress was a gem. She asked how the food was, I answered with above written and she was very apologetic. She gave us another entree even though I had already eaten half of the first one. The second one was hot but still bland. What I am trying to say that everyone probably already knows is, get Mexican-style food at a Mexican restaurant. read more

If I could give this Chili's 0 stars I would. My fiancé and I came here for lunch and waited 20 minutes for someone to take our order. It then was another 30 minutes for our drinks to come & then an hour later when our food came my fiancé's was burnt and my order was completely wrong. read more

Okay so let me just say my fiancé and I have eaten at this place many times and it was always our go to spot. So I figured I'd treat some friends. It was a complete disaster. From my understanding the place has recently had a management change and it shows. First our salsa was brought out and was literally red juice with 3 tomatoes. Three. Not exaggerating. So I called the server over and was told they ran out of the materials needed for the salsa so their manager thought it was a bright idea to serve it anyway. Then we all had bits of food and straw paper in all of glasses. As if they didn't wash the glasses from the last customers and refilled them. YES. Disgusting. So I call thee server over again who was super sweet and obviously should have been the manager himself. So I ask him for new drinks in clean glasses. Then the queso came. It was watered down vomit. And I've had it many many times before so I'm like this is definitely not right. Asked for the manager. Who said he would get me "new" queso and comp it. Well honestly our whole meal should have been comped. This was a few months back so if it's the same manager. Fire him or your profits are going to continue to spiral downward. Then put out a Facebook post you have a new new manger and maybe then it will be my regular spot again. read more

Comfortable temperature, clean, pleasant rest rooms, very good waitress, the food was great, iced tea was very good.

It's a Chili's so everyone should know what it is! Good place to eat and good new menu options. The new Fresco salad was yummy!! read more

I used to consider this establishment a 4-star restaurant. Times have changed. Instantly you are greeted with sorrow at the door. The girl is obviously more concerned with Facebook than work. You can see it in her jowls. Bravo for abstaining from the Samsung Galaxy. This is the kind of service that should be expected from a greeter with such a low wage for such a demanding position of required attitude. Compare this to the annoyance of "welcome to Walmart." A+ The waiter gave an above-average performance -- Not bad for a Monday night. $5 tip plus the change for you sir. B+ The employees themselves were exceptional for a quick-food joint. I would've expected, at least a little nose residue or droopy eyes, but no, this is America and a damn fine one at that. I was without a doubt impressed by their performances. A- The place loses its appeal once you are greeted with the sudden realization that their menu has changed. This is not good. (See the Cuban Chicken at Panera -- once a classical favorite, but now missing from all space & time for no reason -- replaced by the BLT, for the love of Crice. Change is unwarranted. Bring back the jalapeño burger and pizza! C- The worst of all obscenities comes when an order is placed. "I'm sorry, we are out of guacamole." "Also out of cornbread." "We don't have peppers either." "Oh sorry about that, we are even out of Pico de Gallo." Excuse me, but how exactly do you run out of Pico de Gallo!?? That's the equivalent of Home Depot running out of hammers. Imagine driving 30 minutes only to find out Texas Roadhouse has run out of floor peanuts. D- Speaking of the devil, Chillies is an excellent place when the Roadhouse parking lot has filled up with decoy cars & customers. Go in once: they're never that busy. Imagine how much better the place would be without all that birthday singing on every visit, but that's for another review. Chillies itself is in fact a quality plot of enjoyment. Stop by for a load of appetizers and tasty food. Be warned, they'll ask if you're up for dessert. "Oh, no thank you," we always say. And it's back home to the Misses. Chillies has the potential to be 4-stars once again, but the new, alternate menu is a little too intimidating for my tastes. I would even consider 5-stars for your liking, but the fact that the only TV I can see is Skip Bayless talking on mute. For once I would like to be seated in front of a Penguins game, or at least Sportscenter replays. Once it was Olympic curling. C- but I watched it anyway. Then forgot to look at the menu again. "Do you still need more time to decide?" Yes. Yes, please. Oh, and I said no lemon in this water, thanks. read more

We eat here frequently, especially when we want a guarantee of good food and good service. It's never a crapshoot; this location is a guarantee of a drama-free experience. Food is standard fare for the chain, presented well and it comes out of the kitchen at a good pace. I've never been here that they've foisted your entree on you before you've finished your starters. Mixed drinks are very good (not watered down) and the wait staff are knowledgeable about the food menu and bar menu. The staff here is particularly friendly to kids, which is a real plus for our family. Good parking but a busy front strip where people speed so park on the sides. Call ahead works well for busy times, generally Fri & Sat and during Steelers games. read more

I went in and was told there would be a 30-45 min wait, so I left and came back in the time frame only to be told it changed to another hour wait. If you're going to do that, tell the customers ahead of time it'll be an HOUR and 45 min wait. I understand there is limited capacity and a pandemic going on, but give a customer the right time so they don't waste theirs. read more

I received some of the Best Service today for lunch. Chili's has always been my go to spot for a quick lunch- luncheon with co-workers. The food came quickly, our server was more than attentive, and overall I am quite happy with this being the first sit down restruant we've chosen since opening back up. I had ordered the lunch chicken fajitas, they came out sizzling and I actually ended up boxing a small portion of it to take back to work for later. Plus the free chips and salsa for the rewards thing, and a cup of baked potato soup which was way too much, obviously. I cannot remember our server's name, she had dark hair in the middle of the restaurant but was she did awesome! Thank you!! read more

Went a few weeks ago with friends. Service was prompt. We got an appetizer of salsa and chips. The chips were so yummy! I ordered the Bufflo Vhciken Sandwich and it came with fries. It was really good. and plenty big. I loved the fact that you can check out and split the bill right from the table. The checkout was easy. read more

Well I can't say this is the worst experience I've had at a chain, but it ranks up there. Came here on a Saturday late afternoon, a little before 4PM. I figured that would be the best bet on a Saturday, and the parking lot was pretty empty. However, when we walked in, we were told there was going to be a ten minute wait anyway, with only one group of three ahead of us. There was quite a few empty tables, but they were dirty and it appeared as if no one was concerned with cleaning them. When we finally were seated, the waiter barely paid us any mind besides to take our food and drink orders. The only reason I'm giving three stars is because the food still came out in a timely manner and tasted good. I've never had issues like this before, so hopefully this was just a one time fluke. read more

The state is making it difficult for all of these places but the bar area could utilize the space better.

Chili's always has great food! Although, it can be a little pricy, especially their alcohol beverages. Always look for deals if you want to save money and have a very delicious meal! I had their ribs, and they were outstanding! Best I've ever had! They have great service too, even when they are busy! The only downfalls I know of so far, is if it's too busy, the restaurant might have a long wait to sit down and dine (one day we went somewhere else because their wait was 45 minutes just to sit). Also if it's busy, the wait time of the food is a little too long sometimes. But other than that, I would say it has some great, flavorful dishes here! The drinks are fantastic too with great presentation! Atmosphere is crowded at times, but the decor and lighting etc makes it comfortable. :) Also keep in mind, if it's your birthday, or anyone's birthday in your party, they offer you a FREE hot fudge brownie topped with ice cream (it is to die for!). And if you'd like, they'll sing happy birthday to you! :) read more

Didn't have draft beer one week. And their drafts on the menu are deceiving...they don't actually have them all. Total bullshit.

We had a decent dinner at Chili's. However, WATCH OUT if using the trivia device at your table. If you use the device for anything, they try to sneak in a $1.99 charge for "entertainment." This is an absolutely deceptive ripoff!! Chili's should be ashamed of this OUTRAGEOUS attempt to pad your bill. We will not be back! read more

We waited an hour and a half for our food. When it came, it wasnt like normal. The waiter stated they forgot about us. I'm not usually one to complain but we got our cheese fry appetizer with our dinner an hour and a half later. Had a salad within 10 minutes of ordering and it settled by the time dinner came we were full from a tiny salad. At least our daughter got her food and didn't get upset from waiting. That's the only reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1. read more

My recent visit was by far the worst visit I have ever had at any Chili's location. Upon arrival we were told that since we did not call ahead to reserve a table we would have to wait. Once we were seated they attempted to sit 8 fully grown adults and a baby into a corner booth. Even though there were tables available to move like they did for the call ahead people, which they conveniently were able to provide another table so that their party of 12 could grow. The bathrooms were like walking into a swamp. the urinal was freely overflowing to the point that over half the bathroom floor was wet. Very unsanitary, quite an infection control issue. The only good parts of my meal were the water I drank and the salad that didn't take them long to prepare. The only thing hot, which I am using loosely here, it was more like lukewarm, was the broccoli that was probably just pulled out of a warming plate. My Monterrey chicken was cold, the bacon wasn't crisp, the mashed potatoes were dry with a nice coating of cold gravy that kind of reminded me of being served gravy flavored ice cream, that's how NOT warm it was. Then to be charged the 18% tip because it was suggested for our party was more of an insult to me than a tip to them. The server, Sheena, was excellent; the food, hostess, management and timeliness was not. read more

Every time I've gone I've had absolutely horrible service. Takes at least 10 minutes just to get our drinks, rarely offers us refills, our food takes forever and we get unlimited nachos and they never get refilled! I've gone back several times because the food is good and to try and give them redemption but they just suck at serving read more

Pictures look good flavor on mex side isnt there. Meats are okay. But cadillac style adds no flavor. Flavor has soaked out. And they arent real fond when you tell them about it. Get chipotle for flavor or don patron for relax good food. read more

By far best ribs in town! All of their other foods are great as well! Great service great cleanliness I will def be eating here again!
