    Triple Dipper
    Pax S.

    The infamous Chili's on Lamar...gotta love it. The food is fresh from the freezer and the beer pours are always an inch too low. The staff is always shorthanded and the place could use a good power washing. However, all of these things are what make it a total gem. Get a triple dipper, a Modelo at happy hour for $5, and be on your merry way. I love you, Chili's.

    Triple dipper was great! Food came out fast and the staff was very helpful always checking up on us and opening doors. The drinks were cold and the sauces were good. I would definitely recommend the triple dipper or the smashburger. The bathrooms were also soooo clean!

    Strawberry marg and presidente marg
    Emily K.

    Kicking off our anniversary date night in style. The place was packed on a Sunday evening with a wait for tables but the bar had plenty of space. We were just in for a drink before dinner. I got the monthly marg special a blackberry strawberry combo which was sweet but delicious and refreshing. The presidente marg was large with refills on the shaker. All in all a stellar addition to the Austin dining scene.

    There was no wait for us to sit down but we came at 3pm on a Friday. The waitress was nice and helpful when ordering food. We both got the triple dipper one with mozzarella sticks, southwest egg rolls, and nashville hot crispers. The other had the sliders, southwest egg rolls, and honey chipotle crispers. It was good if you just want super fast/casual sit down food with friends or family. But, if you want to go somewhere nicer this would not be the place. I thought the restaurant was cozy and had interesting/unique interior design. I liked the ceiling lights, but my friend thought it was super bright. Overall, great place to eat near campus (not walking distance though).

    So I recently started dining at chilis because there really aren't that many affordable casual restaurants in this part of Austin and sometimes I want to spend 12$ or less on a margarita and just eat some classic American pub fare. This one is a special one since it's been on 45th and Lamar since I've been here which for me is excellent since I live less than 2 miles away from here. Your greeted enthusiastically when you enter and the restaurant is big enough that if there is a wait it shouldn't take that long. Parking is pretty easy in front of the building though it's a little more tricky on the side shared with Starbucks. I've been seated at the bar which gets swamped making drinks but the bartender is very attentive and they check on you enough if you need to add to your order or order another drink. I would say the same for table service as well. I'm still a fan of their baby back ribs and a half rack is plenty and comes with fries avid Mac and cheese. Their burgers are also tasty and sizeable. Drinks I assume have standard units and 1-2 is just enough to take the edge off. I know this place gets made fun of in the local foodie world but in this economy Chili's looks pretty good,

    Full Rack of Ribs

    This Chili's experience earned my business back. I hadn't been to a chilis in over a decade but had an insatiable craving for the honey chipotle chicken crispers and my husband for the baby back ribs. Eventually agreed to give chilis another chance, and they did not disappoint! We arrived for lunch Monday 3pm. Restaurant was mostly empty so nice quiet with all TVs on sports channels. I only saw one server but he was very attentive, checked on us several times and returned quickly with everything like to-go boxes and cocktails (which he was also preparing behind the bar) Thanks Jose! Food was freshly prepared and menu even got an update. It was apparent to me that the flavors had been upgraded before Jose told us the recipes had been changed recently including the size of the baby back ribs went from 4 and 8 for half and full rack, we counted 14 ribs on the full size rack now for 26$ my husband was pleased. Cocktails were delicious, not too strong. Honey chipotle tenders were decent size, I had plenty to take home. They took the street corn off the menu but the loaded mash and steamed broccoli were still great. The southwest egg rolls and burger sliders in the appetizer trio were just as I remembered. But the new Nashville hot mozzarella sticks did not miss! The cheese pull was real and I think it was my favorite part of the meal. It will probably be what brings me back to chili's again!

    Perfection personified. Staff were very nice and great at refills. I feel renewed. I feel whole again. I love this chilis. Thank you

    Hadn't been to a Chili's in almost 15 years, but if there's one to go to is the one at 45th & Lamar. I am not entirely sure what makes this location so popular, but had a great experience. Our waitress was funny and attentive. I was to sad to see they changed the breading on their chicken crispers, but still enjoyed my meal. I am not a fan of mashed potatoes, but I've always had a budding romance with the loaded mashed potatoes from Chili's. Don't be like me and spend over a decade in Austin without checking this location out.

    Phenomenal experience here with great service and food! I've been to this location many times but hadn't been back in years. I was thoroughly impressed the entire night! Arrived on a weekend night during prime time for dinner, and we waited 0 minutes to be seated. Our waiter was with us shortly to get drink orders. Theoughout the entire night, he was extremely attentive even though it was really busy! Probably one of the most attentive waiters I've ever seen! Food was great! They were able to put all the sauces for the ancho salmon on the side. The salmon was cooked well, and the rice and broccoli was also tasty. I wish the broccoli was less salty, but it was still good. Chips and salsa were great too. They also gave us a bag of chips and salsa to go after asking for a take home box!! The noise level was average, and tables were clean. Parking is easy and free right outside. 11/10 recommend this location for their fantastic service!

    Crispy Chicken Crispers Combo
    Jeanie C.

    The restaurant was very accommodating for a group of 9. We did call ahead to make sure they had enough seating. The chicken crispers are always great and it's a lot of food. I'd recommend calling ahead for a large group.

    Really enjoyed Anthem's Happy Hour! (M-F open-7pm)…read more We split a variety of items off their HH menu: - banana daiquiri (sweet and tropical vibes) - Lychee Lowdown (floral and refreshing) - Salmon poke (full sized and fresh) - Itchy Salmon (warm and rich) - Brisket Rangoons (crispy and savory) - Miso Mac Daddy (loved their take on mac and cheese balls!) Service was excellent as there weren't too many patrons on the afternoon that we visited. The decor is cute yet casual. When we're back in Austin, we'll definitely come back!

Definitely has a kick, be prepared if you don't take spicy food well. Thai Hippie Tofu - Good flavor, although there was a little too much sauce and salty for my taste. Char-Buff Cauliflower - Good and flavorful. Hawaiian Shrimp Ceviche - Refreshing and a nice option. Itchy Salmon - Two tiny pieces of sushi, but they were good. Brisket Rangoons - Just okay for me. This was probably my least favorite dish of the night. Sweet Potato Waffle Fries - crispy with good flavor. A fun side to share. Smash Burger - We had it cut in half, which made it perfect for sharing. Good burger and a satisfying way to end the meal. Overall, a fun spot for happy hour if you want to order several different dishes and share. There was a good variety.

    I stopped today with my husband and absolutely LOVED it, I'm definitely gonna be back!!…read moreBut let me tell you more! The indoor is very beautiful and smells like cinnamon and apple (a scent that I love), especially going towards the bathrooms. Theres a bar section with plenty of seating and the room inside the restaurant is overall very spacious. I didn't see much of the indoor as I decided to sit outside in the patio. Although being during the Texas summer, the patio has plenty of (very powerful) fans! The view of the green belt next to the restaurant is amazing, and there is also an outdoor bar, which gives impeccable vibes. We ordered two starters and had plenty of food! My husband ordered the Barbacoa Stackers (slow roasted barbacoa, refried black beans, Jack cheese, JAK slaw, Cotija cheese) I personally loved them! The meat was tasty and juicy, the black beans were perfectly cooked and everything was so rich in flavor. Definitely a 10/10! I ordered the Homemade Buttermilk Biscuit, served with honey & seasonal fruit flavored butter (with a side of yummy bacon) Today they had strawberry flavor, and there was even strawberry jam. I have to be honest, THE BEST biscuits I've ever had in my life! And I love me some good biscuits! They were buttery and crumbly to the right point! The strawberry butter with the strawberry jam was the perfect combo! We were told the biscuits are made fresh every morning, and I love that! It was definitely a 1000/10! We also got some chips and salsa. Chips are very crunchy, and the salsa is spicy to the right point! Now I'm building my tolerance with the spicy and this salsa was really yummy, and can build up the spice! The waiter who served it to us, brought it over in a small mason jar and emptied it in the little container for our table, which was something I've never seen done like this. Definitely appreciated it! Makes me think they make their own salsa (forgot to check on that!) They also gave us a complimentary pita bread with pimento, and it was delicious! The pita bread was very crunchy and salty to the right point! They even gifted me a portion of peach and strawberry cobbler, topped with ice cream, for my birthday and it was insane! The flavor was perfectly sweet and mixed with the ice cream was very refreshing and still warm and melting in my mouth! Probably one of the best cobblers I've ever had! And keep in mind, we got here that we weren't feeling super hungry, and yet we were able to appreciate every single bite cause it was so good!! Last but not least - Ali, our server, was incredible! She was so nice throughout the whole dining experience and made sure we had everything we needed. She was so kind to ask if I could add peach puree to my freshly squeezed lemonade (which is a 10/10), and even made sure I had plenty of strawberry butter for my biscuits. We definitely took some leftovers home and I can't wait to have the remaining biscuit in the morning!

Between the phenomenal service, the ease of catering to a big group, and the amazing food, this place is a 10 out of 10. The pimento cheese is a great touch.

Had not been to this restaurant in a good while, and was a last minute decision. Good choice. The whipped feta is always a treat -- light and creamy with a solid feta taste, but not overpowering, served with a few orange slices and thinly sliced almonds, and pita. Special dish! Beet salad excellent, but the Fresno peppers had way too much heat, so pushed them to side. My wife had the Moroccan curry, which had a very spot on Moroccan flavor (been there 3x), and was a large, filling portion so brought home leftovers. I had the grilled pork chop which was large, perfectly grill with a tasty bourbon-based glaze, served with a large roasted garlic clove. Wonderful dish. My wife had a white wine that she enjoyed and my martini, slightly dirty with olives (to start) was a large pour and very smooth. Enjoyable meal in a nice setting once again ...

This place is so intoxicating from the aqua blue color palate and funky green art work to the alluring lighting and huge metal plate (looks like something from a ship...also their logo). My brother said the green artwork looked like broccoli. My brother ordered the Idaho trout with coconut rice and Brussel sprouts. I sampled his food and it was all good. The standout was the Brussel sprouts...crispy with this absolutely delicious drizzle. I ordered the Mezze plate with a flavor explosion and many desirable texture. It had lamb kabobs, fresh salad (emphasis on fresh) with thinly sliced cucumbers, finely sliced onions and creamy feta (never had creamy feta), red round sweet peppers, hummus with the most delightful pesto like sauce, and olives. Oh my...what a delicious lunch! Morgan, our server, was attentive and accomodating. She moved us to another table when we notice our table was rocking a little. Great catching up with my brother and excellent meal!
