Short-staffed but still amazing! Despite being severely short-staffed, the service and food were probably the best we've had at any establishment during and post-COVID! I recommend taking advantage of the wait list option and bring some patience with you. In return you get a great meal served pretty quickly considering, and service with a great attitude, positive mood, and smile plus great food! So glad we didn't let the previous reviews keep us from going. Thank you so much! PS Not sure of our server's name but he was a very nice, handsome young man with sleeve tattoos. He was the bomb!!! read more

Just horrible over all long wait, only like 2 servers they don't even help each other out chili's need to wake up or I'll close it's doors

3 visits and each time they messed up my order! They forgot to bring out my food while all my other friends had their orders and eating in my face as I was waiting and waiting til I asked and the guy said he didn't see it and they were about to fix it. Well everyone had eaten their meal and ready to go! read more

Chilli's was good .. the overall wait wasn't too bad for it to be a playoff game Saturday .. once we got seated that took a little while for someone to get our drink order, but that was about it and also the chicken crispers looked a little smaller than usual .. our server was attentive and checked back on us frequently.. ordered the sampler trio with hone chicken crispers, Southwest egg rolls and burger bites .. Overall good solid experience read more

Food was okay even though I said plain and still had onions on my burger. My problem is the drinks I ordered a margarita and it had waaaay to much sour mix in it, so much it burns the back of my throat. Then I sent it back and she basically made the same drink for me no tequila, told her less sour mix and got basically the same amount as last time. lol and I work across the street from this place and my drinks are always made right regardless of the fact that I work there. Just a piss poor performance by the bartender in her efforts to satisfy me and my wife very disappointing experience and we have been here before read more

Always short staffed. Waited 30 mins and was then told its only 1 server. Left and went to Applebees and was seated immediately.

Went to the door to be seated. There were about 10 people waiting. The "hostess" said she'd be with me in a moment and proceeded to continue to seat a large group. Had to get booster seats. Color papers and crayons. They were way short staffed and looked like I'd be over an hour getting an overpriced burger. I walked out. Won't go back until they get it fixed. read more

Probably the worst experience I've had at a Chili's. It took an hour for our food to come out and we saw our waiter twice. He was nice, but just never around. I try to be very forgiving to wait staff, but the restaurant was not busy at all. When my husband's food came out it was wrong & took another 20 minutes to remake. Our appetizer never came out, so we ended up canceling it. When the food finally came out, it was pretty good. Eventually, the manager took 15% off our bill, but it just shouldn't have gotten to this point. It was also freezing cold so my food got cold really quick. Just an all around poor experience, the wait staff just seems so lazy. read more

Went to check in, host tells us it'll be 20mins. We go wait in the car and it's coming up on 20 mins at this point and I get a text saying my name was removed from the list without even receiving a "table is ready" text. The host acts like he doesn't remember whether we came in-person or online when it was literally just 20 mins ago then says "I thought you left" and it would be another 10mins. You can bet I left and took my money elsewhere. I was not about to wait another 10 mins for some subpar food. Wasted my time!! read more

I would give a 0 Star if it would let me! HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! Waited 15 before being asked about drinks. Gave entire order even appetizers to get food quicker! Nope! Waited 20 mins no appetizers. Said screw it and left!! This is inexcusable!! Plenty of staff but horrible service. Waitresses are rude too! Will never return!! read more

I ordered the simplest thing from the menu- fries! How can you mess that up? Well, Chili's showed me. Texas cheese fries with extra bacon and extra cheese is what I ordered. What I got? Dried out fries with a smidge of burnt cheese, a couple of jalapeños and a pile of some old a** bacon bits ...yuck! read more

Food was good but time to be served was ridiculous. I had to go looking for the server to get out check.

I waited a hour and a half for my food and they still didn't have it out. Multiple people have told me this was the case for them as well.

We got takeout and everything was cold and just bad. Waste of money. Funny thing was they sent me a survey and I answered honestly, and they didn't bother to respond. I guess they know? read more

Just went here tonight for dinner. We were initially waited on quickly but after that no one even checked on us. No drink refills, no one asked if we wanted dessert. Our server and the manager kept walking by us and just ignored us. Our server took care of her other tables but never once checked on us. We paid and left. Never going back. So disappointing. read more

After reading the reviews here, I was hesitant to dine at this location. However it was my little sisters decision so we went went around 5:45pm on Friday with a group of 9. We were sat at a table promptly, maybe waited 5mins. First of all out waitress was amazing. She answered every question, took extra time with my mom how had lots of questions. She did not get distracted by the yelling teenage girls as they attempted to figure out their orders. The food came out fast, everything was cooked just as we asked. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the food but I got a bacon burger, several people got pasta and the others got Fajitas. All the food came out hot and the fajitas had the sizzle that we love. Overall this was by far our best experience at a Chili's ever. The food, the service, everything about our visit was great! read more

No hostess to greet us. Cleaning supplies strewn throughout the restaurant. Sticky seats, table, and baby seat. Never saw the server before we decided to leave. Bad overall experience and won't be going back. read more

Worst location Very short staffed, very long wait, and very cold foods. I would definitely not recommend this location if you are hungry . I would not return even if the food was free. Better locations to go to not far read more

So we stopped real quick to get some soup and a drink on our way back to the hotel room. We wanted it to be a quick stop but it did not end up being as quick as we expected. The bartender was not very attentive, she would leave for ten minutes plus on multiple occasions while multiple customers sat at the bar. The place was trashed with debris on the floor, dirty menus and bathrooms that portrayed a massacre. With that being said, the soup was good but the drinks were half assed. Limes that were already squeezed and drinks not full. For a franchise, there would be a consistency between different restaurants but this was a true disappointment. Awful service and dirty restaurant. read more

Go elsewhere. They don't want to be bothered. Just a horrible experience. Surprised they remain open.

Food was good. Had the combination ribs and chicken. Also had the bacon rancher burger. Which son said was good

One of the most disappointing experiences ever - If I could give zero stars I would. I have had a good experience at other Chili's, but this was terrible. Came by this location before a concert - very close to our hotel and basically on the way to the PNC Pavilion. We were seated promptly, in the bar, as it was pretty early. Waitress was kind enough, but super slow because she seemed to be the only server available. She took our order, brought out 2 glasses of water with black specs suspended in the water- YUCK!!! Asked for replacements, which she provided in time. My Buffalo Chicken sandwich tasted like fried shoe leather, basically uneatable. Fries were stone cold. Wife had the fish tacos - overcooked again - no taste. Next time we will skip this location. read more

Service was horrible ordered mini molten lava cake she charged 7.50$ each for pick up order. I usually order on app for 3.50$ each and the waitress is arguing and says customer is wrong. Horrible service and zero value for customer money. read more

We stopped to eat while traveling through town. There were maybe 5 tables seated in the entire restaurant. We stood waiting to be seated for literally about 10 minutes before deciding it wasn't worth it. read more

Never again...no customers, but hour wait for food. The waiter ask for our order before we could even get the menu up on our phone. We told him we were waiting for 2 people, and gave him our drink order. Waiter forgot lemonade not once but 3 times. Couldn't get sweet tea..ask me why....they ran OUT-OF SUGAR..oh....and for you drinkers...they are OUT OF ALCOHOL AND TAP BEER.. ..and the salad.....discolored and wilted. The manager did apologize. We waited, and waited for our entrees. Waiter said they are slammed, (10 customers...including us 4) and it would be 30 additional minutes..... . We paid for drinks and appetizers and left. The waiter seemed clueless, it may have been his first or second night. This seems to be an ongoing issue with this Chili's. This is our VERY LAST TIME... Oh, and half the food on the menu...they were out of, so we had to keep going back to the online menu. . read more

Literally waited an hour for food and only had a few customers. People who came after us was served before us then I had to go and grab our own utensils! WILL NOT BE BACK!!! read more

I am very sad to say that my experience at this location was absolutely horrible. Why was it horrible? Customer Service ! I took my daughter out for dinner to this place, walked in to be seated, and was told by the male hostess that our wait time was going to be 30 mins. The Restaurant had a good amount of people inside of the establishment along with some people waiting in their cars who were also waiting to be seated, so I thought 30 minutes was reasonable. My phone number was taken down, and I was told that I would receive a text message when our table was ready. While waiting for the text, I noticed that the time that I was quoted was pass the 30 minutes timeframe that I was given; therefore, my daughter and I went back into the establishment after waiting in my car to be notified. Once inside, the same male hostess clearly didn't recognize me, and asked, "How may I help you?". I informed him that we were told that we had a 30 minute wait, and that it was well over 30 minutes for when were to be seated. The male hostess then to my surprise said that it was going to be an extra 20 minute wait. Are you kidding me !!! I was pissed. What poor customer service. I will never return to this establishment or recommend this place to anyone else. If you're thinking about coming to this place to eat, think again... read more

I had apprehensions about going to chili's but it was a Great experience. Food was quick and tasted pretty good. Not chef cooked but definitely a fulfilling meal.. me and my friend had leftovers that we took to go! The service was friendly. The restaurant was clean and bright. Got the 3 for $10 and it was a great deal. Can't complain very satisfied. read more

I received this burnt cheese sandwich. I ordered with pink/ medium or medium well as the option for how I would like my meat. As you can see there is no way anyone should have a grilled cheese burger to eat such as this one. I was told I would receive a refund in a few days... read more

Horrible service. Waited at the door for a hostess for about 12 mins with the restaurant super slow, come to find out the lady standing around the back talking to another waitress was the hostess. Sat down and heard a party in the kitchen then never saw a waitress. Got up and left. read more

Chili's - Don't even try. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This is the worst Chili's. The clientele sucks. The waitstaff sucks. Our waitress' fingernails were so long and yellowed and dirty. Our drinks stayed empty. Our food was cold. Our guacamole tasted of nothing. I could go on, but I won't. Just don't come here. UPDATE: SORRY COULDNT NOT SAY ANYTHING... My steak was over cooked, my broccoli raw and ice cold. My fried egg on my steak looked like a 3 year old had cooked it on A DIRTY PAN. Fajitas WAY over spiced, chicken pasta WAY BLAND. WORST OF ALL, OUR NASTY WAITRESS HAD HER LONG NASTY YELLOW THUMBNAIL DOWN IN MY SONS PASTA WHEN SHE WALKED UP. She pulled her thumb out and there was Alfredo sauce all over her thumb and nail. DISGUSTING. read more

Came here around 7pm on a Tuesday night when there weren't really too many people there for service, which made it seem promising, but things seemed to get worse as we stayed there. Service was okay in the beginning, but then it took about an hour and a half to receive our salads (which were in the smallest bowls ever, like, one size above the little ramikan dishes they put your salad dressing in), and it took another half hour to receive the rest of our food. All of us got burgers, so we really weren't expecting it to take very long. Additionally, when they brought out the food, they mixed up the bean burger with the regular one. My friend who has been a vegetarian for 4 years accidentally ate meat!! She had to spit it out. Then, after all of us were finished eating, it took about another 45 mins to an hour to find someone to give us to go boxes, and another hour to get a check and leave. I can't remember our server's name, partly because she was never there, but we were sitting in the front glasshouse area. As someone who used to work in a restaurant, I am always EXTREMELY forgiving when it comes to restaurant service. I can understand how difficult it can be when you get double or triple sat, or when the kitchen is slow and can't get food out, or when your side work is getting in the way and you're having a hard time catching up. However, the lack of people in the restaurant, and the simplicity of our orders make it hard for me to believe that any of that applied here. Either way, I'm still giving it three stars because the food was really good (my caesar salad the size of my thumb and my special sauce burger). Otherwise, I would only give it two stars. read more

Absolutely worst eat out cooks I've experienced in my life. They couldn't even remake the food properly... soggy chips and soggy buns is what comes from this chili's. Absolutely horrible. I've heard of others having bad experiences and I decided to find out for myself, and sure enough, below a 1 star review, literally. read more

I knew what I was getting into coming here. I honestly have not been to Chili's in years because of my last experience but I went with someone else who suggested it so I gave it a shot. Never again. Walking in, the place did not look clean. The floors were dirty and looked sticky. We were originally seated next to the kitchen where waitress would place dirty dishes right next to the table so we asked to be moved to the bar area specifically to be able to watch the game too and they moved us willingly. Once we got moved we didn't receive service for a long time. Everyone walked passed us without asking for drinks or anything. We finally waived down someone walking passed and they sent a server our way. The server seemed annoyed and in a rush. It wasn't busy but he could have been busy so I get it but it just added to our bad experience. We ended up asking for our food to go and I received the wrong chicken on my salad, and the lettuce was wilted. I won't be going back. I didn't expect much honestly but it's not even worth grabbing a quick bite. read more

Haven't eaten inside in a while of course because of Covid, but curbside pick is horrible. The wait times are ridiculous and you will most likely have to leave your car to pick up the food. read more

Service is extremely slow. We came on a Saturday night around 6pm. Hostess told us it would be a 35 minute wait for a family of 4 to be seated, this was fine. Got our table at 7:10pm and sat for another 40 minutes before flagging down the hostess to ask if we even had a waitress assigned to us since no one had even stopped by to ask for our drink orders. Finally got 1 of our drinks from our drink order 1 hour after being seated. Food came out very slow. We should have walked out and went anywhere else after the first 20 minutes of waiting at the table but we stayed because it was my sons birthday and we had already waited that long to get a table. Unless you have 3 hours to kill waiting for dinner, go anywhere else. We will not be back. I understand being short staffed but there is no excuse to not even acknowledge a table for 40 minutes. At the very least. read more

I've had really good service here over the past few times I've eaten here. This time was no exception. I ordered the Caribbean salad with grilled chicken. My wife got the triple dipper. My salad was DELICIOUS! The chicken was juicy and blended well with the ingredients of the salad. This was my first time ordering this because I'm a creature of habit and always get the crispers. Go check it out. Hopefully your visit will be as good as mine was. read more

I go to Chili's often, but their take-out service has gotten so bad that I'm not even sure I'll go back anymore. I ordered the Cajun chicken pasta and it comes with a salad. I am posting a picture of what they gave me as a salad it looks like a soup bowl with half a cup of lettuce and a few Croutons. It also supposed to come with garlic bread and I did not receive that either I'm going to give it a big fat zero read more
