    Smash burger
    Christine D.

    This is my 2nd visit here. First time, was ok. This one was not good. We got here after 9pm. For starters, we were seated in very odd section. Out of all tables and booths, it's some random side one. The bathrooms. Disgusting!!!! Toilet paper all over ground. One stall missing seat covers, trash full and hand towels just falling out. Our server was very nice and did best he could but I just think it was establishment. Then came our orders, which took awhile, the food was good but everything else just made the visit less than what we expected. We usually have great visits at chilis. You can't go wrong with the prices. Maybe, next visit will be better if I ever stop here again.

    Came here after my bestie's little brother football game and never had I ever seen this place PACKED! I thought the parked cars were going to Olive Garden for their endless pasta bowls but NOPE, I was wrong, everyone was at Chili's and can't blame them. The marketing team needs a raise, with the whole WICKED promotion going on and $6 drinks of the Good Witch and the Witches brew, come on!!! In today economy, let's just drink up and get the Triple Dipper and call it a night out! The food did take a bit, three birthday parties going on and thank goodness we got the bottomless chips and salsa to keep us from being hangry. We ended being HANGRY because the kitchen took a bit longer than normal, but understandable, its a busy packed house. Again, I was here with my bestie, it was nice to catch up and with all the social medias on WICKED we were sold on coming here. We normally go to another location of Chili but this was at the time was nearest to us from the football game. Our waiter Dylan was friendly, great services and made sure we got our drinks filled up.

    I've been coming into this Chili monthly-ish since mid-COVID, and restaurants started opening back up with restrictions. I had a great experience back then, and have been coming back ever since. The food has always been consistently good, I love their burgers, and their fajitas never disappoint. The service every time I've come in with my family has always been friendly, fast, and efficient. The servers are always smiling, and when I have questions they answers them with decent menu knowledge. Their dining room atmosphere can get crowded and boisterous during high times, so if you come on a weekend be prepared to wait for a table. But it's definitely worth the wait. Escondido restaurants tend to be lackluster at best, but this Chili's is definitely a step above.

    Amazing food and service! We each ordered the 3 For Me, which was a great deal which came with a drink, appetizer, and a main entree. I ordered the mango lemonade, chip and dip trio with steak queso, ranch, and salsa, and the Just Bacon burger. All the food was amazing and came out very quickly. Our server was also very attentive, and even gave us extra chips for waiting a little longer to receive our orders. Would definitely come back to this Chili's in the future!

    The 3 for me deal is so good and affordable. We have been going to chili's just because they have that deal. My bf always gets the smash burger and I always get something different. The steak was pretty good and well made and had plenty of flavor. I think that was my favorite out of the chicken sandwich and carne asada plate. The carne asada was a bit too chewy for me. Service is very quick as soon as you order the drinks and starters they come out fast. The food also comes out a few minutes afterwords. You can go in and out of this place in less than a hour. All chili's chains look the same, a bar area and dining area, both places are quick to get your order. So there's no wait time. I've never waited to be seated or to be served.

    Nasty food ever I said no pink and look what I get !!! a Rob burger

    Chili's Escondido has the worst food. I've ordered twice the same thing and twice they give me the raw burger.

    Stopped by last night after a long day at SeaWorld. This was located right next to our hotel, which was great, as we haven't been to a Chili's in years, there is none where we live. We arrived around 7:30pm, there was no wait, host greeted us and was friendly. Our server, Arlette, (hopefully I spelled it correctly), she provided great customer service and was checking in on us through out our meal. Everything we ordered was really good, fresh, hot and we all enjoyed our meals. My fav was the skillet queso! So good with the chips. The triple dipper is a great choice to start off with, the burgers had a yummy taste, well cooked and seasoned. The boneless buffalo wings and the Nashville tenders were also great, crispy and the sauces flavorful. Overall the food was delish and the service was great! I'd be back when in the area! :)

    The food was extremely salty. Drinks are watered down and they were not even alcoholic drinks. Slow service.

    This place used to be my favorite, but since they've changed their steaks they suck! It's like eating at Denny's :(

    Oh how I'm going to miss you. This location will be closing November 13th and I had to make a trek…read moreone last time to visit where it all started for me. Stone was the one that started my love for craft beer. From the first day I came to visit, I was in love. It was the beautiful Biergarten and the amazing staff. Same is true today as everything from the service to the food was fantastic. This location is so grand! I had reservations, but noticed that bar seating was available and I just love the bar because you can hang out with friends and start a conversation with your bartenders. I ordered a couple of IPAs and they were great! For a light snack, I ordered the Yellowfin Ahi Poke Nachos which came with wonton crisps, marinated cucumbers, scallions, wakame seaweed salad, furikake, sriracha mayo and avocado crema. It was the right amount of spice and paired well with the IPAs I had. Come enjoy the beautiful location, enjoy some beers and great food along with the friendly staff one last time before this wonderful location closes. You won't regret it! There's ample parking available and don't forget to visit the gift shop to get some beers to go and Stone merchandise - especially the one that says Stone Escondido on it. I grabbed a shirt for the memories!

That being said, the food I have had so far is very average and overpriced for the portion size. I guess that can be said for most places these days though. So far I have tried the BBQ burger, BBQ sandwich, and Caprese sandwich. The pizza looks good so will have to try that next. I really liked their local beer selections but was disappointed the last time I went and was told they don't make their own beer anymore. They still have a good selection of beers on tap though.
