I HAVEN'T HAD CHILI'S FOOD FOR SEVERAL YEARS BUT I WAS IN THE MOOD FOR RIBS SO I DID A DOORDASH ORDER. I ordered a full rack, loaded mashed potatoes and the button mushrooms. Everything was excellent. Packed well. I'll order the exact same items again when I'm in the mood for baby back ribs. read more

Spur of the moment dinner after a very productive church meeting. Yummy grinds and great conversation with good friends! Triple dipper is my fave, with bbq sauce instead of ranch dressing. Big mouth bites (2x) and crispy chicken crispers are my go to:). My friend David had the Big Mouth Bites with fries and a mango iced tea, and his wife Kathy had pasta. We all had leftovers! We had great service and enjoyed our quick dinner;)! Thanks Chili's!! We'll be back! read more

Saturday April 25, 2026 After working out at Planet Fitness Kahala. It was lunch time. So, we decided to come to Chili's as it was close by and we already had parking. We haven't been here in a very long time. My cousin used to live up the street by me. But, then he moved to Aiea. Back then we used to come all the time. Plenty parking. We were seated right away. Service was friendly and fast from Cammie. We ordered. Food came out shortly after. It looked good. Everything tasted good. I was so hungry and I thought I would eat it all. But, after a while I couldn't eat it all and ended up taking half of it home as it was a lot of food. I ate it for dinner later. Ambiance is casual and comfortable in here. We will be back again as the service and food is still awesome from what we remember. read more

Got a pretty good deal with the 3 for me promotion. Less than $60 for two people for entree, drink and appetizer. Portions are huge, food is pretty good and drinks are a nice touch. This chilis is pretty laid back when it's not busy times. The server was chill and overall experience was good. Standard chilis, would go again. Only downside is the Kahala location doesn't accept rewards. read more

We went for a Sunday dinner at around 500pm and were sat right away. It actually took longer to find parking since the parking lot was crowded when we arrived. We got the Beef Queso with Chips and Salsa, Quesadilla Explosion Salad, Mushroom and Swiss Burger with Curly Fries, and a Chicken Crispers and Corn Kid's Meal. Beef Queso with Chips and Salsa This is one of our must gets when we go. We didn't know that they took off the Beef Queso from the menu for the Southwest Queso but were glad that it came back. The chips and salsa are great as well. Quesadilla Explosion Salad We that this salad was pretty good. It was pretty filling for a salad and everything went together well in it. Mushroom and Swiss Burger with Curly Fries The burger was good. The patty was cooked well but could have used a little more seasoning. The Curly Fries were pretty good. It was our first time getting it and we were satisfied with it. Chicken Crispers and Corn Kid's Meal The chicken was as expected. Cooked well and tasted good. The service was great. Our server was very friendly, helpful, and attentive. We will definitely go back for another meal. read more

The food was excellent, and we really enjoyed everything we ordered. Unfortunately, the wait time for the last two dishes was extremely long. By the time they arrived, nearly and hour later, the rest of our party had already finished their meals. That said, the customer service was outstanding throughout the experience, and the staff remained friendly, which is why I didn't rate the restaurant any lower. read more

We got a new server when we went on Friday , it was her first day. I wish I remembered her name cuz she made our night, she was so funny and nice! She accidentally put in an order for something we didn't order but her attitude was so great and we weren't bothered by the mistake. The manager was kind of mean to her and made her feel bad about it when it was literally not a big deal at all. He took it off our bill and made a big stink about it apologizing profusely and blaming her but we didn't even know we were getting charged for it initially. Like dude chill out lol. You could feel the stress seeping out of him. Girly had to apologize on behalf of him LOL. I wish they didn't simplify the interior I miss OG chilis vibes. Food is always good though. Triple dipper and quesadilla explosion salad are a must. Our mozzarella sticks were warm but not stretchy warm :( also I think they changed up their chicken tenders?? They're SOOOOO much better. Burger was just fine, nothing to write home about it. Their margs were really good too!! I always compared them to Dave and Buster's but their drinks are so much better. read more

Chili's Grill & Bar - A beautiful sight to see - Tex-Mex Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Decided to go to lunch there. Fairly empty for a Sunday, but was a gorgeous day so hopefully people were enjoying the outdoors. Hostesses really nice. Gave me a run down of what booster/highchair can and can't be used at certain tables. I didn't request a particular type of table nor do I really care as long as my kid is safe. Maybe some customers are picky about that so they felt the need to justify it? It's always freeeeezing in there. I brought a jacket. Put pants on baby, and since I forgot her jacket, threw a blanket over her shoulders. She was content with that an her pepper to color. Our waiter...Dylan?...was awesome. He was quick to react on things, talked up baby, just overall a good server. Food was pretty good. - Triple Dipper - Burger bites tasty, but burger on 1 took up only half the bun. - Southwest Eggrolls - tasty, but soft. Like the wrapper just can't get crispy so it was messy. - Mozz sticks - Better than normal sticks that have too much batter. I still ripped off half the batter though. - House salad - Good. It was like the end of the crouton bag was emptied on top the salad so nice and salty. I want it like that all the time now! - Full rack of ribs - smallest pig ever. The pic is very deceiving. 5 small ribs eaten, 2 small ribs taken home. That is NOT a full rack. Someone snagged some ribs. And when that that tiny should throw in extras. Also since skinny, it was overcooked and dry. Hubs did not finish it...and did not eat the leftover either. - Side Mac and cheese -nice and cheesey. Hubs and baby really liked. - FF okay. Nothing special. Bathroom was stink. Needs some serious deep cleaning. Some things great! Some thing very not great. But the staff very nice so made it a good time... read more

Stopped in for a quick, late lunch. We were seated immediately which was nice! It was about 2pm on a Sunday afternoon. The service was quick and responsive. Our food and drinks came out promptly. The skillet queso was still sizzling hot! I'm no stranger to Chili's and this specific location does a good job. I wouldn't say GREAT, but definitely good! The reason for my 4 star, not 5 star review, was because when I tried to use my Chili's rewards coupon for a free drink or chips & salsa, I was told that they aren't allowed to accept them anymore. Which is totally not uniform across all locations. I have a valid coupon with the company and it should be honored. Overall, the experience was good. The restaurant was busy but not too noisy. Service was attentive! But I think chilis management has some work to do so everyone's on the same page with the Chili's rewards program... read more

Located at Kahala Mall on the East side outside the mall, if we pass California Pizza it is across the parking lot. Went there for Mother's Day's lunch and we both had the Garden Salad & shared Triple Dipper and endless Chips & Salsa. The Garden Salads were fresh and crisp and they place the dressing on the side without asking which is great. The Triple Dipper I enjoyed the rolls it had a nice flavor and crispy to it, my wife said it was a little spicy. The BBQ Chicken nugget was good and it came with sides of ranch dressing. We ordered too much so didn't try the hamburger sliders. The chips & salsa came out warm and fresh like just out of the fryer and not overly salty or oily. read more

I had a surprisingly good time; my son wanted to eat here for his birthday with his friends. Food was a little better than I expected from an old chain restaurant, the burger was okay, the appetizers were good, the salads were decent sized and felt like an actual meal, unlike the skimpy salads you get at many restaurants. They have a keiki menu so the total came out pretty reasonable for a party of 6 with 3 kids. Service was really nice. Although the parking lot got full, at least there is a parking lot, and if I have to, I can always find a spot on the 2nd level. Even when it's full, kahala mall is easier parking than in town. read more

It was my first time dining at Chili's, and overall the experience was a mix of great service but average food. We ordered the Triple Dipper appetizer with the Nashville hot mozzarella sticks, burger sliders, and Southwestern egg rolls. The mozzarella sticks were a bit over-seasoned and too spicy for what I expected, but the egg rolls were flavorful and crispy. The sliders were fine, though the buns tasted like they came straight from the freezer. For our mains, we got the two half racks of ribs and cheddar jalapeño sausage combo, plus Alex's Santa Fe Burger. The portions were generous for the price, and the fries were actually fantastic, perfectly crisp and seasoned. The ribs fell off the bone, which was nice, but they lacked that extra depth of flavor that makes ribs memorable. The burger itself was okay, but the bun again had that frozen taste. The best part of the visit was the service, our server was incredibly thoughtful, quick, and friendly, which really made the experience enjoyable despite the food being hit or miss. Afterward, both of us felt a bit of indigestion, probably just from how heavy the meal was overall. I'd say Chili's offers good value and excellent service, but the food didn't quite meet my expectations this time. read more

Chili's Grill & Bar - Triple Dipper® - Tex-Mex Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

1/2025 .... Talked to the waitress and they said that the owner decided to remove all reward programs due to giving out too many freebies. Not sure how but the yelp age should be updated to indicate that the yelp check in free chips and salsa is no longer valid and hasn't been valid for months according to the reviews and tips. Chips and salsa are still so good since the chips are fresh but didn't realize it got so expensive, it's now $9.99, opted to get the queso for a little more and then it seemed a bit more worth it they packed the skillet with lots of queso we had a ton leftover to take home. Tried two burgers and both were overcooked and dry. They normally have been doing well on cooking so maybe just an off day. Honestly, we mostly come here for the fresh chips and salsa read more

First time @ the Kahala location. Went for lunch & got seated immediately . Nice Interior & noticed the clean restrooms. Menu has a lot of variety, so the 3 in our party, knew what we wanted. Bacon cheese burger with fries a house toss salad with ranch dressing & a southwest with fried chicken salad& balsamic vinaigrette dressing. The food took a little longer to come out & we shared that we should have ordered an appetizer. All salads and burger were good. The burger was missing the bottom Bun and our friendly waitress provided us with excellent service& not to make a big deal out of the situation, made the situation right.Chef came out unexpectedly & was very nice. Good attentive staff @ Chile's lunch time & we appreciated this! Give them a visit!! read more

I had the best time here the other day. All our food was delicious and service was excellent. It was really busy on a Friday and all the food still came out quickly. My husband's Sante Fe burger was huge and his curly fries were well seasoned and hot. I opted for regular fries and wish I went with curly fries or onion rings. My son enjoyed his beef queso with chicken quesadillas and of course we had bottomless chips and salsa. The chips are different but still taste good and they has a $10 Margarita special. Unfortunately Happy Hour is only Monday - Thursday but I would return for that for sure! Great job Chilis! read more

No complaints! Does the job when you want good bites and drinks. Good lighting and quick service. Update: 2 days later. Went back bc I couldn't shake the tasty mozz bites and just needed to have some again. But wait...there's a new Star of the show! Omg, the Nacho's were amazingly delish!! Perfectly served with each chip preloaded with the goods, just add the amount of sour cream, lettuce n tomato you want. Talk about no chip going to waste. Bravo on that, Chili's. I need to recognize our Server, Bartender, Barback, Busser.... Niove!! I really think she's a Bartender, but man did she do everything, and with a smile. Best customer service ever! That's an extra star for the service! read more

Went for dinner and did a walk in as we were at the shopping mall. We ordered the triple dipper, South western egg rolls, big mouth bites and honey chipotle chicken crispers, this was a huge amount of food, the pictures don't even come close, also ordered the nachos. Oh, it came with complimentary chips and salsa, everything was plated nicely and food was very tasty, not too spicy, just right. Had so much left over we're having some for lunch today. The waiter, a young man was very attentive to ALL of our needs. No room for desert, but will definitely be going back. read more

Let me start by saying: we LOVE Chili's Kahala Mall. Like... go-to spot, comfort food, Triple Dipper-obsessed type of love! Sometime around Augustish, I placed a big DoorDash order from this location. Not just a quick solo order--this was for da Faaam. mom, dad, brother, me, and the kids. I had ordered from this Chili's twice before with zero issues, so I wasn't worried at all. Everything arrived on time, but then came the heartbreak The Triple Dippers (our favorite) were off. My mom was missing an entire Southwestern Eggroll--which is honestly the star of the show--and in my order, the two eggrolls looked like they came from two completely different dads. Like half siblings kine. One was golden and perfect... the other was pale and depressed, like it never fully committed to being fried you know I normally don't complain, but between a mysterious missing eggroll and the obvious inconsistency--on a big family order--I figured I should say something. I wasn't expecting anything to happen from that either, honestly. Then came the plot twist... Within 24 hours, I was contacted by Chanel, the Hawaii Chili's Guest Engagement Manager. She reached out right away, asked for a few details, and genuinely took ownership of the situation--on behalf of the kitchen AND DoorDash. No excuses, no brushing it off. Just accountability and kindness throwing shakas at me from the start!! She ended up mailing vouchers to me along with an apology note I wasn't even sure if it was real but I did put it in my wallet for just in case kine tingzzz. One day there I was at Kahala Mall and no luck hunting for sales I was hungry and I took my baby and my 11-year-old to lunch at Chili's Kahala. Forgot I had the vouchers until I went into my wallet and once I showed our waitress the vouchers, she immediately said, "Oh yeah, those are very real." AYYYY Cue happy mom moment We had a great meal (as always), and what really stood out was that Chanel followed up again afterward bumbai just to make sure everything was okay. 10/10 would recommend! In a world that moves so fast, it's very rare to see management slow down, care, and malama us by truly making things right--and that deserves to be recognized!! So yes--great food, great service, and standout guest care. It's Aloha Friday... go eat Chili's Mahalo Plentyyy Chanel! read more

Food: loved the food! The triple dipper appetizer is an amazing appetizer to share with family and friends. The mozzarella cheese sticks were crispy on the outside and savory, gooey, and cheesy on the inside. Sliders were filling and tasted like a bite out of a decent above average burger. Egg rolls provided a unique dish to try and the ranch sauce really enhanced the flavor. Lava flow was super delicious but a little pricey Bacon chicken quesadilla was crispy on the outside and provided an amazing combination of flavors between the bacon, cheese, and chicken on the inside. And the ranch sauce was like the cherry on top Overall loved the food. The triple diper appetizer and the 1 quesadilla entree was enough to feed two people Service: The day I went was for an early lunch. Despite there being plenty of open tables, it took about 5 minutes for the hostess to show us to our seats. (But they were understaffed that day so I understand). But other than that waiter was super friendly and prompt, food was out in less than 20 minutes after we ordered and the rest of the staff was pleasant and respectful Ambiance: Lives up to the bar and grill vibe. Room is spacious with tables reasonably apart. Tv broadcasts a variety of sports channels above the bar and throughout the restaurant. Overall, a clean and welcoming environment for lunch and dinner goers read more

Chili's is always a vibe. Can never go wrong. I love their unlimited chips & salsa and their new margaritas they often come out with. Right now, I'm really into Spic-a-rita and Ling-mu-rita. They're not overly sweet and refreshing. Their service is always "okay". They are usually always busy so I see the servers running around a lot, so it's hard for them to be attentive. Every time I go, I usually have to wait 5-10 mins to even get greeted and get our waters. So if you're on a time crunch, I recommend you going somewhere else or just getting their takeout. read more

I got the triple dipper. I got egg-rolls, mozzarella sticks, and chicken tenders. It was fine. We also got the pasta which was good. I will say, our waiter didn't check up on us.

Edit 1: I was contacted and received a call from a corporate manager thanking me for my feedback, explained how they were going to learn from my experience, and offered compensation. I'm very pleased with how the management handled this review, I will be returning to Chilli's for another chance. This is maybe the only time I had a bad experience, so if I get another good one like I have before, I'll change the stars. Edit 2: The servers were very quick to greet my partner and I then said it would only be a few minutes. The Yelp system was actually down that night so they didn't put our names down on anything BUT we were indeed seated very quickly. At the end of our meal I also asked our server about this and they said unfortunately it sometimes goes down for a while. Not their fault, but that does suck because I even tried to add myself to the waitlist before I arrived there. This Chili's deserves 5 stars for being the best they could be and learning from their mistakes. Original: They need to train their servers better. I arrived with my partner and asked to dine-in for two. A young lady told me she was seating a large party first and told us to sit down at a bench right in front of the desk. We waited for 25 minutes. I watched her and two other staff come back forth between to the desk with me and my partner clearly visible. She had never asked me for my name or phone number. I told this to a young man, who apologized and put me on the Yelp waitlist... At 9th place with another estimated 30 minute wait. I wouldn't blame the staff, since they all looked very young and spoke hesitantly, I blame the management for either poor training or understaffing. read more

Can never go wrong with good ole Chilis! We love this Kahala location! The staff are very friendly. My bf was wearing his football jersey and a couple of staff members came up and made conversation with him about the NFL. He enjoyed it.

I had the Chili's Cheeseburger and it was delicious. It came with those jumbo size fries that I like. That's the good part. The bad part is they have been out of Diet Coke for over a month. What's so hard about fixing that. I can't drink any other soda so I had to settle for Iced Tea. when my burger arrived, I had asked them for mayonnaise and when I opened my bun to check, it was a small glob and it wasn't centered on the patty. I was going to spread it out but I then realized I had no eating utensils. Guess my waiter was a little busy. read more

We joined the waitlist via this app, and did as instructed. When we arrived we were told it would be a 10 minute wait or we could self seat at the bar. I politely declined and informed the host that we can't sit on the high bar chairs (90% of the seating to the left of the host stand) while asking to be seated in a booth or lower table which she obliged. After reviewing the menu and waiting now over 40 minutes, the host is helping clear tables in the area we asked not to be seated. Another host texts my phone and comes over to tell me she's ready to seat us, mind you I sat inside waiting the entire time. As we stand up I see her walking into the left and I say, "Wait, are you seating us on the high bar chairs?" and of course she says yes. My husband who is now frustrated tells me nope let it go we're leaving and proceeds to walk out. The host asks what's wrong, to which I say I asked for a booth or low table. She tells me she wasn't aware and there's no notes. An the host that I originally spoke with said "oh yeah I'm sorry she wanted a booth I forgot to tell you" while speaking to the other host. Now going back and forth while telling me wait, I politely declined and said no thank you and left following my husband. I truthfully think communication is very important and clearly there wasn't much. I was the 18th table on the waitlist when I arrived. I observed the hosts telling everyone who confirmed they're checkin be told it would be a 10 minute wait, while those whose name were being added to the waitlist was told the wait time would be 30-45mins. How can you communicate two different timeframes to two different parties whose names were after us, when we were already waiting an additional 30mins from the 10mins you quoted? Then bicker in front of customers about who's fault it was for not passing my table request along? I'm sure it's a tough job, and clearly you could see it was a busy night. But communication is key amongst staff, and honesty should've been given upon arrival. I don't foresee us going there for dinner, but I who knows I think I may have a better chance at lunch.? read more

If there was a way to give negative stars then I would rate it like that. The customer service was terrible. To start the hostess was a grumpy girl with no customer service. Giving irritated looks and speaking with a very disrespectful tone. Even to my grandma, she spoke with much haste. When the manager and her were speaking they were pointing at us and also had a terrible attitude. We were confused, how could every single person waiting go in before us. The man holding the door open was wonderful! This was a godawful experience. We were told the wait was going to be 45 minutes, we waited an hour and a half for a table! Every single group that was waiting went in. Even those that walked in after us. No sorry no thing from her. This was a terrible experience. Do not recommend read more

Food is good with an extensive menu. Prices and service is okay. Usually very busy so plan on waiting

The server was fairly new, according to the manager. She couldn't get our order right but put the blame on the kitchen and wanted to still charge us for the mix up. The drink we requested was also wrong. Bottomless chips and salsa was charged extra for asking for another dish to not share germs with a stranger because they might double dip. Asked to speak to the manager and he came to the table. Initially, he made excuses, then did what we requested to remove additional charges from our tab. It wasn't what we experienced at other locations. This was unacceptable. read more

Chili's Grill & Bar - Tex-Mex Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This place seems to have high turnover with servers. Perhaps the training of new workers needs improvement: young female hosts with attitude are the worst first impression: this one would not respond to us, made no eye contact, slammed down our menus after walking us to our seats, then said "enjoy" with her back towards us as she walked away. All the great servers seem to have left the Kahala branch. I'll travel to Windward Mall for Ruby Tuesday instead. Good riddance Chili's! read more

The waitress was great, the roof was leaking and the bathroom was a little filthy. Waited long for my foo

The service from Dylan was exceptional!!! His service is amazing! Great at what he does I couldn't speak higher of him. The food was okay, my partner had the Alex santa fe burger and it was ok. The bread was awful. Tasted like chemicals to be very honest. Ribs were pretty good just wish they were hotter. Mac and cheese was good, sausage was good. Price is not bad for Hawaii but the food wasn't that great. If you do go ask for Dylan! Side note, the host started yelling in the restaurant for some odd reason i'm not sure why but it was a little random. read more

Disappointed in wait time. Granted we are a party of 12 but we waited one hour in front of the hostess because we were 1st in line. Never did they ask if we wanted to break apart the party and seat separately.. they sat people after us as big as 6 people! They said they were waiting for a big party to leave but no one looked ready to leave! I ordered take out and got it before our table was ready!! Disappointing read more
