Chili's - ranchero chicken tacos, buried under containers. not sure if I could eat this. - Bars Near Me - E Brunswick, New Jersey

This is the first time I ever came to this chili's and I noticed that there weren't many customers and we were the only ones waiting to be seated. Plenty of waiters but nah they didn't care, they walked right past us. We stood there for maybe 7 minutes exactly with no one giving a damn about us. Because we hold some kind of self respect, we left this establishment to eat elsewhere. read more

I haven't been to chili's in like 10 years and decided to try again. It wasn't busy because we came in at night. The server was very helpful and the food was on point. We got the fajitas with shrimp and chicken and chicken and waffles. I usually don't like chicken and waffles but this one was so good. read more

Ordered a burger from here. Asked for it to be cooked medium rare, it came to me still raw. By the time I got my dinner everyone else was done with their food and I was not compensated in any way for having bitten into a raw hamburger. Very unhappy with this experience. read more

Tonight I went, it was 3 adults and 3 kids. We went around the typical start to dinner rush. From start to finish, our waitress Stephanie S was fantastic. She was on top of EVERYTHING. We had drinks in a timely fashion, our apps came out fast and our entrees came out pretty quick too! Everything was also delicious. She was nice and sweet to us as well. The manager Brian on duty also made sure we were well taken care of. We all were very pleased with our visit, and look forward to coming back! read more

I absolutely LOVE this Chili's location! The staff here is so kind. I had an especially great experience with Vitoria. My to-go order got messed up and she made sure that the problem was fixed right away! If I could eat here for every meal I would. read more

With all the chain restaurants, chilis is leading the game and has been for 44 yrs. The food is always solid and fresh. The service here is always friendly and welcoming. The kitchen seems to get the food out very quickly even during busy nights. My personal recommendations are the chipotle bowl and honey chipotle crispers. The loaded mash and street corn are ah-may-zing . Definitely check out the awesome bartender on Sundays with unbeatable happy hour specials all day long read more

I love chili's. One of my favorite restaurants, but the food does not do well with take out. Last time, not during corona I got the buffalo chicken salad, bacon was weird & the chicken didn't taste good. I got the petals last night, the ranch spilt everywhere. I get it mistakes happen so I put them in the air fryer & when I ate them all I could taste was the oil. Got buffalo chicken burger, everything was cold so I put the burger in the air fryer too & it was chewy. Also came with 9 fries. If i can count the fries then they didn't give enough. My husband got the chicken bacon quesadillas, the cheese wasn't melty anymore, everything was very cold- even tho we got there before the pick up time said. but the dilla's was okay. Like I said I really enjoy chili's but for dine in only. read more

Steve was our server he was nice and attentive. We sat in the bar/lounge area and it was fantastic. Me and my boyfriend went on Sunday night around 6 pm. We both had the president margaritas which were great! And we had the boneless chicken as our appetizer. We then proceeded to order the ribs and the smoke BBQ chicken that came with fries and corn on the cob! It was FANTASTIC. I will do it again for sure. I will be back East Brunswick Chillies you'll see! read more

So I have been here in a real long time and then I was reminded why when I got my food. My husband suggested it because of the 3 for $10 deal. Our waitress was great super friendly and very attentive. But the food spoke for itself. My oldest daughter ordered the Margarita chicken and though it was edible it lacked presentation. Now I decided to order a triple sampler and looking at it the egg rolls looked like they had been sitting and everything was fried in very old oil and it left such a nasty taste in my mouth. My waitress noticed my dissatisfaction shortly after I got my meal and was quick to offer me something different. I looked over the menu and almost didn't reorder because of the awful taste in my mouth. Then told waitress that I would just take queso dip . She brought me chips and salsa out first and the chips must have been fried in that same oil because I started to get that funny taste in my mouth again. When the waitress brought out the queso it sort of masked the taste a bit. Though they are a very busy restaurant they need to change it up in the kitchen and change that oil on the regular especially with a good amount of menu items needing to be fried . read more

This Chili's is the worst every time we go there we experience a problem with our food they don't understand the concept of well done they don't understand the concept of can you brown the onions in the burger be well done it's ridiculous it's not even that hard to comprehend it's not even that hard to make sure the done properly for the customer Ordering something well done shouldn't be such a hard request for a restaurant the service is always very good I have to say all the servers a very pleasant and nice there is one little short manager there a short little guy who's a little ignorant and he claims to be a manager but the rest of the staff is very friendly they just can never seem to get the order right in the read more

Here for lunch during the week. Waitress seemed bummed out at first then cheered up... Thank goodness because I really hate a sour waitress/waiter. We sat in a booth in the bar area and were comfortable. Quality of food both in the taste and freshness department is great. The food came out pretty quick. Presentation was nice. The person with me ordered a rum and coke and they literally brought out a soda sized glass of it, so you know what you want to order... I got a bottled Heineken, nice and cold. I will come again and say go! Lunch deals are on the back of the menu by the way. read more

Amazing service!! We came in with a party of 6 including 3 kids under 5 which is NOT an easy party to handle. The restaurant was packed so we were really anticipating a bit of a wait for our food and for our server to come over, but we actually received better service at this time with this part at Chili's then we have at empty restaurants in the past. Stephanie was our server. Her and her manager Brian took excellent care of our party, and they were on top of everything. Thank you for an amazing experience! read more

At least 4 Tables open told I had an hr wait because they had a table of 16 and the kitchen was backed up. So in other words...... not enough staff to cover their tables. read more

Yuck! The waitress messed up our order. The person that gave us our food had no idea what he was doing. Our soup came out cold and when we had them reheat them, the soups didn't come out until our entrees were here. All of us hated our food, it was greasy and disgusting. And the waitress was nowhere to be seen. Horrible read more

Expecting the worst, I finally relented and accompanied my wife and two kids to Chili's. And to my surprise, we ended up having a pretty decent experience. I read a lot of business news and was aware that Chili's had been for some time in a massive top-down overhaul thanks to pressure from their biggest investors. Such a geek I am that I even read through a 200-page PowerPoint that talked specifically about what Chili's was doing to turn itself around. And I must say, it's working. Chili's will always be Chili's in that it is still a mediocre chain restaurant, even when it is firing on all cylinders. But the kids love it, the booze is cheap, and there's plenty on the menu that everyone can find something that should appeal to them. Some of the highlights for this location: First, the store was clean and up to date in terms of modern decor. That's a biggie. You fail on that and you may as well just close up shop. Second, they have a tablet-driven system for managing the check, which also serves up iPad-like games for the kids. (For $0.99 per visit.) It doesn't replace your server, but it does allow you to call for them, pay the bill, split the check, and obtain a receipt. When you pay, you are offered to take an electronic survey about your experience. As a person who lives and dies on customer insights, I cannot begin to tell you how smart this is. Third, the manager walks the floor and stops by each table to see how their meal is going. That's a nice touch. He's a really nice guy. And lastly, the food isn't half bad. Everything is crazy salty, as my wife pointed out. So if that's a problem for you, I might suggest you steer clear, or at least wear comfy shoes that stretch, because your ankles are bound to swell up. Guacamole made tableside, though gimmicky, produced a more than edible version of the classic. And my wife's black bean burger smothered in sautéed mushrooms and melted swiss looked like it was pulled right out of the photo on the menu. Me? I keep it super-simple at a place like this and just had some boneless buffalo bites. I'm sure they are frozen nuggets of mystery meat, but their sauce is good, and when washed down with a few beers, I'd go so far to say they're even better than Hooters, Applebees, or Buffalo Wild Wings. I don't plan on running back here any time soon, unless it happens to be for a few apps and Jamesons at the bar. But for the occasional trip with the kids to maintain my sanity, Chili's turns out to be a decent option to kill an hour or two. read more

I was in the area on business and stopped in for dinner about 8:00 PM. Hostess wasn't the friendliest and the waitress was efficient and professional, but not really friendly. The food was good and the margarita's tasty. The house margarita was good priced. I highly recommend the molten lava cake for dessert.Your review helps others learn about great local businesses.

I had a good time with my friends, and I always appreciate the great food and dessert they have there. Unfortunately they took about 30 minutes to bring out the check after we were ready to go because they were complications with our order. We had a big group and had one new waitress working by herself. For the future maybe partner her up with someone more experienced so she's not overwhelmed and we're not wasting our time sitting there. read more

This was the worst serviceI have experienced we waited for 45 Minutes for sodas the waitress didn't come back to take order. The manager didnt even bother to help get our order after almost waiting an hour. The Manager Jamie was rude and could care less to help customers!! I've seen better manners at a zoo than this place . don't waste your money! read more

Worst trip ever. Server suggested we get up and move to the bar when asked for drink specials. We got fajitas which were not. we had to ask multiple times for the rice and beans that we ordered a hour ago. Love chilis very disappointed. Hopefully there's another one close to me. :-( read more

From 4 to 1 in one sitting, I've come here so many times and I've never experienced it like this last night. My waitress must have been over worked and the manager has no clue what quality food looks like. First, The waitress was the hostess. After directing us to the table she made a sharp turn into the kitchen and never made it to the table. We sat ourselves at this point. As I began to order my drinks the waitress began to bad mouth the manager because she was taking orders and sitting people. The drinks came out and then shortly the food followed. I took one look at the "smoked wings" and I was immediately turned off by the color of the chicken. I've never seen the skin of chicken look so disgusting. I wasn't going to be rude about the whole thing and I knew things could happen but after the manager came out inquiring about the chicken wings, instead of apologizing and offering a replacement, thats when I knew he had no clue or probably didn't even look at the dish. His reply "They're smoked" What exactly does that mean? That chicken can look pale and disgusting. Then he wanted to throw them in the deep fryer? I was trying to figure out if that was an insult or was he trying to keep the dish from going in the garbage? If the product is smoked, Why would you ruin that by throwing them in the fryer? I was so beyond myself I fired an email off to Chili's while I sat at my table. It takes a lot of energy to drive a person to that point. After the end of the night, I will no longer go back to this location. read more

Couldn't take our Chili's gift card on line, therefore waited 8 min for guy to come bak therefore our food was cold we had to reheat everything.

However the Southwest Egg Rolls the Ribs the Fajitas and the rice & beans were all delicious read more

They Got my order correct and even fixed one of my plates. Very great service. Thank you so much.

Foods great but the restaurants more than half empty and it's a 30 minute wait??? There's no more COVID restrictions! It's a Monday night like come on man put more servers on if that's the problem read more

not a happy camper. Came here last wednesday with my BF for dinner, you know a change of pace, and since I have never had a bad experience at the Rutherford NJ location, I thought why not. Well for and empty place, service was slow. The hostess sat us, and told us our server would be Joel. Well 8 mins later Rachel showes up and says she will be taking care of us and Joel was her partner and would check on us later ( mind you it was empty) we were like hey double servers = better service.... NOT. we never met Joel. We saw him, but he never came to the table. After some careful menu debating, we opted to do the Special - $35 - comes with 2 Margahritias, shared appetizers, 2 entrees, and a shared dessert. appetizeres were nothing to jump for joy about, but we settled on the tostadas with corn guac. Well the waitress Rachel, delivered the chips and salsa and said the guac would be right out. 10 mins later I ask her were the guac was and she replies "they are making it in the kitchen. It will be right out" she walks in the kitchen and out with the guac. Tell me... How do you serve half an appetizer. Thats like ordering chicken wings and they serve you Blue cheese and celery saying the chicken will be right out... WTF. My BF got a burger off the menu and I got the Honey Chipotle crispers. His burger was dry and my crispers tasted like i was licking the sugar bowl. I tried everything to fix the sweetness. the dipping sauce, ate with salsa, used the guac. Nothing helped. I told the waitress when she FINALLY made her rounds that she could take it away. That I didnt like it because it was too sweet. She looked puzzled at me and said really, most people think they are spicy. I told her thats what i was expecting- sweet and spicy and she just said oh ok and walked away. No offer of something else. Dessert we took home. Simple cheesecake. Had nice texture. balanced flavor, but nothing that i would make a special trip to get. Over all, I will NOT be returning..... poor service really leaves a worst taste then a poor meal read more

Don't believe ANYTHING YOU'RE TOLD here. Called to inquire about Happy Hour here and was told that it was from 3-6. Upon arrival, the waitress informed us that didn't apply today. She seemed very disinterested and spoke to her manager who didn't even come to speak with us. She returned and said "he said no." Won't be rushing back here any time soon. read more

One of the best restaurants in East Brunswick. Great service and great food at a cheap price. Absolutely love it here!

I walked in the waiter sat us she was very nice! She sat us to the right of the entrance doors. Me and my 3 friends sat there for 10 minutes to just put our drinks in and we decided to give him our orders as well. We were sitting there for 40 minutes and he never gave back. The people next to us only had their drinks. And the waited an hour and still didn't even get a chance to put there order in. I believe his name was Anthony or Andrew or Andy, I don't remember his name but he was a skinny man with dark brown hair. Then table to the left of us didn't even receive there check. They had to ask the manger for it because he was in the back the whole time! We are regular, we usually have AJ. We are very disappointed. So we got up and left... read more

Went here for dinner with my lady on 10/3/14... The service and food were very good.... Something new at this place was a small computer at your table that allows you to pay your bill on or order more drinks after your first round... Thats kind of decent... The reason for not being a 5 star visit was due to the floor not being clean... Fallen french fries should not be visible on the floor where customers are sitting... Other then that all went well... read more

Went in to eat lunch today with the family . Our waiter was great , he didn't mess up any of the orders (we had some gluten free members with us, it was nice to see that they didn't forget not to put tortilla strips on their salads), he also was on top of refilling our drinks. Everyone enjoyed their food , there was 8 of us and not one complaint. We always love coming to chilli's great food great prices !!!! read more

I moved from manhattan to the area and my daughter requested for her 10th birthday. I waited over 20 mins for a chocolate lava cake she wanted to share with her friends. I decided to leave because I just couldn't wait any longer, she cried on the way home. The manager was rude, and never apologized for the wait. Her refunded me and just walked away.

But nah to hell with this Chili's I'm out ... not for nothing read more

Food was terrible. Ordered takeout from East Brunswick Chili's and could not eat our two dinners ordered. Ribs tasted like they were rubbed with pure salt, only got 16 actual french fries, and rest of order was missing. The rice that came with fajitas was like eating a bowl of sand. I contacted them and said a manager would call. No one ever did. This place is horrible. Spend yoir hard earned money somewhere else! read more

I wished i took pics of all the times they're good disappointed us. We live close by so we used to visit here all the time because it was so convenient and the only place opened late so close to us. A few years ago things were decent. The fajitas were good, the Mexican bowls, burgers etc. My husband always gets hot wings especially w games on. I always had a few and thought they were pretty good... until the beginning of 2016. The wings we super dry, sometimes there were no sauce on it and we always had to ask for hot wing sauce after the wings came out. First time we thought they were just having a off day, second time, a fluke, 3 red time, we stopped going for a few months. Next time we went the wings were so dry I couldn't even bite through them. How the hell do they actually serve that to customers. Is the business operating so poorly you can't toss an order of wings and remake it or do you not a F that you like eat it and die. It was horrible. I never send food back, but I sent it back. A new order came out and I was so dumbfounded when it was pretty much the same thing. They have these little tablet things on the table to pay bills, play games and order drink. I always left a good review for the servers because they're always been great but on the survey they ask about food and comments. I always commented on how the wings are inedible but I don't think they care. I prob left like 3 reviews and they have yet to make the fix. read more
