    Chip and salsa
    Chris M.

    Went to my local Chili's for and early dinner on the 4th. Place wasn't too crowded was seated once we walked through the door. There is tons of seating and staff was very nice. We both tried the 3 for me. The burger with fries and a side salad. Side salad was a little on the small side but tasty. Steak with broccoli and potatoes and chips with salsa app. Both were tasty and cooked perfectly! I love how th fries were seasoned and crunchy. The mashed potatoes had bacon and seasoning were great with steak and broccoli! Chips and salad got it started. I like coming here never had a bad experience.

    Alex's Santa Fe Burger and fries

    Ordered lunch to go recently since my family gave me a gift card and I couldn't get the thing to work online. Ordering in person at the to go counter and paying with the gift card was a breeze thankfully. Friendly, quick service. I love the added perk of choosing a free drink or chips and salsa for loyalty club members. I always choose chips and salsa because the bag of chips is huge and always their chips are always perfectly light and crispy, and the salsa is always just the right amount of spicy. Yum! For this lunch, I ordered the Alex's Santa Fe Burger and fries. The burger was large and very juicy. Loved the toppings-- "House-made guacamole, cheddar, diced red onions, jalapeños, tomato, pickles, cilantro, drizzled with spicy Santa Fe sauce"-- spicy deliciousness. Writing this review is making me want to order another one right now! And the fries were very fresh and tasty also. I couldn't finish the burger and all those toppings in one sitting, so I ate the rest later that evening. And, of course, I enjoyed the chips and salsa for a couple days, lol! Whole experience 10/10

    Microwaved steak

    Today was not great. They weren't busy, but we had issues. One of our party didnt get her meal. The other had a steak that looked boiled but was very undercooked inside. Such a weird rubbery consistency. The manager saved the day some by getting everything to the table and replacing the steak with chicken. The place is always clean and most of the staff is friendly.

    My daughters were craving for Chili's today so I ordered the Triple Dipper® meal for them. The Triple Dipper® had the following: 1 x NEW! Nashville Hot Mozz 1 x Big Mouth® Bites 1 x Ranch 1 x Honey-Chipotle Chicken Crispers® 1 x Ranch $18.39 1x Chips & Salsa 1 x Fresh Salsa $7.29 I ordered through their website so there's a rewards for free chips & salsa for new account. Their Fried mozzarella tossed in the Nashville Hot sauce were so addictive and delicious!! It also served with house-made ranch dressing. The Big Mouth Bites are mini cheeseburger sliders that featured bacon, American cheese, sauteed onions, and house-made ranch dressing on toasted buns. The beef patties and sliders were a bit dry but they were flavorful. The Honey-Chipotle Chicken Crispers were Hand-Battered chicken strips. They were tender and juicy with crispy exterior. The taste was so flavorful and appealing with a balance of sweet honey glaze and chipotle spice. It was a satisfying meal.

    Not sure why others leave negative reviews, because every time I've dined at this location the food and service have been top notch! Today we had Taylor as our server and he was amazing from the moment we walked in. Super attentive, friendly, and really made our experience enjoyable. He even went above and beyond by giving me chips and salsa to take home, along with a drink. Definitely one of my favorite spots, and Taylor made it even better!

    Went to Chili's for dinner with friends and had a fun time. I ordered the Old Timer burger with corn on the side--it was tasty and satisfying, though a bit on the oily side. Still hit the spot! The staff were super nice and accommodating, checking in on us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant was pretty loud, but it added to the lively, upbeat vibe. Great spot for a casual night out with friends, though maybe not ideal if you're looking for a quiet meal.

    Ultimate Smokehouse Combo: Brisket Quesadillas, Jalapeño-Cheddar Smoked Sausage, Crispy Chicken Crispers.
    Lenia M.

    Chili's doesn't take reservations but has a waitlist, so be prepared for a wait during peak hours. Make sure to check the current wait time on yelp. My group of six came in after work around 7:30 PM on a weekday, and we were pleasantly surprised--our wait wasn't too long at all! Once seated, our server was super attentive and took the time to explain the popular dishes and how the combo meals worked. I went with the Ultimate Smokehouse Combo, and honestly, it was the best decision. Perfect if you're coming in hungry--especially after a workout. I only made it through half and saved the rest for lunch the next day. I loved being able to mix and match; it's like a little BBQ sampler platter. If you're in the mood for a drink, do yourself a favor and try the Blackberry Presidente Margarita. It came in a glass with a mini shaker, and it felt like I got two servings in one--great flavor and value. The only downside (and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5) was that service was a bit on the slow side, likely due to a few other large parties being seated at the same time. Overall, a solid spot for a casual group dinner. I'd definitely come back!

    bbq Half Rack of Ribs
    Hannah Y.

    I ordered the BBQ ribs online and paid a pretty high price, only to receive what were essentially sauced bones. There was almost no meat on them at all. I understand that ribs naturally have bones, but this felt excessive -- it honestly looked like the meat had already been taken off. For the price, this was really disappointing. With a clear conscience, this shouldn't have been served or sent out to a customer. I've attached photos so others can judge for themselves. Would not order from here again.

    Cajun Pasta

    I liked the place, the cajun pasta was really good, one of my favorites! my server mel was great and check in frequently and i appreciated that, overall great experience!

    I ordered the triple dippers and the chicken tender combo. For the triple dipper I order hot boneless chicken wings, sliders, and mozzarella sticks. The mozzarella was hot and had a nice cheese pull. The service was good tonight.

    Triple dipper
    Stevin F.

    A few years back I used to come here on the regular. My daughter asked me to come with her so gave it a try. I tried a margarita, which back prior they used to have the best mango Margaritas, the one I got this time was too sweet and tasted like a non alcoholic beverage. I ordered the triple dipper with three different style chicken strips. They no longer have the original chicken crispers I used to get. The ones I received did not taste good at all, I actually took food home, which I normally always eat my food. We sat in the bar area, some customers just don't have any courtesy for other people or the staff.

To our surprise, we were told that each beer sample cost $2.50. We've visited many breweries, and it's very common for small tasting samples to be complimentary, especially when customers are deciding what full-sized beers to order. We had planned to order two pints, but being charged just to sample the beers completely changed our impression. Unfortunately, we decided to leave without ordering. It wasn't about the $2.50--it was about the customer experience and hospitality. We hope the brewery will reconsider this policy, as it may discourage potential customers from trying and enjoying their beers.

He made the reservations online with Nine Social but when he got the confirmation, it said for Macallans so he called and spoke to the manager and we got a table here. Wine list was extensive and since he knew a lot about wine.... I told him to just choose for me. We did a pinot noir to start and then went to a cab. The cab was great! I ended the night with a moscato. I ordered the mango tango and he ordered the wedge. Both delish! The mango tango had that sweet and salty blend perfectly. For dessert we had the chocolate mousse. It was really good! Service was excellent! They let you try the wine before you order a glass! They checked on us constantly and were really attentive. The place had an older feel to it and it's quaint. I like the coziness of it. They had live music going on and Tom the pianist did a great job! He sang to me when Tom was playing. Super sweet! Tom came over to introduce himself and told us about music nights and there will be singers there. We love this place so much we stayed until closing time. We were the last ones to leave! We were already talking about coming back for when the singers will be there. Our first time here... And definitely won't be our last!

    Nine Social is a cozy wine bar located on the far west end of Birch Street in downtown Brea, right…read morenext to Macallans. There is a free parking garage right across the street. Their front of house focus is the wine bar, but they also have a good cocktail and martini menu, as well as a nice selection of food items. The interior is warm and cozy with two different seating areas. The larger front area has bar seating, quite a few tables, and a lounge area in the back corner with several couches. There is another area in the back which is smaller, and houses their cocktail bar and a number of two seat high top tables. You can order anything on the menu from either area. We sat at the bar in front for some Sunday evening cocktails and small bites. We started out with the spinach & artichoke dip ($15). The dip came out very hot, was a big portion, and was very good. However, the menu said it came with toast points, but instead it was served with tortilla chips which were just ok. The advertised toast points or fresher tortilla chips would have made this appetizer better. My first cocktail was the Limoncello Martini (vodka, fresh Limoncello, lemon juice, $15). I usually love anything lemon and this was a good martini with light lemon flavor. She started with the Purple Martin Martini (vodka, raspberry puree, pineapple, $15). This was another good martini with light sweetness from the raspberry and pineapple, not a sugar bomb. We wanted a little more food, so we ordered the Caprese flatbread ($18). It was a good size, and the dough was great. It had a good amount of cheese and tomatoes, and I really liked the balsamic drizzle on top. However, it did not come with the basil that was listed on the menu. Next, I tried the Peperoncino Martini (vodka, Italian Peperoncino brine, black pepper, extra virgin olive oil, $15). I loved this, one of the more unique martinis I've had. She liked her sip so much, she ordered her own for number three. Her second cocktail was the Carmel Apple Martini (carmel apple vodka, Licor 43, lemon, star anise, caramel cube garnish, $15). Most of the time, you would expect a caramel apple martini to be a sugar bomb, but not this one. The flavors were great with a light sweetness. And who doesn't like a caramel square treat? For my last one, I had the Cinnamon Sleigh (bourbon, cinnamon spice, maple, orange twist, $15). This was a good sipping finisher with light cinnamon notes and those great orange aromatics. KJ was our server, and she was very sweet and friendly. We came early in the evening and it was a little slow, so we chatting with her quite a bit. I'd take a half point off for the two food items not coming with the listed items, but rounded up to five stars overall. The bill had a 3% charge added for using a credit card. They have a music trivia night on Thursdays which would be fun to try. We enjoyed our first visit here, and will definitely return again.
