I kinda liked the place. It's a comfortable place to eat. The waiter was friendly and made recommendations when we were ordering, for me it was good, for my husband not so much. The food was good, not great. And dessert was much needed. read more

The service is generally good and the ambiance is about what you'd expect from a restaurant of this type. I really like their fries and the fact that they offer a black bean patty option on the burgers for those of us who don't eat beef but still want a burger like experience. I also like the build your own burger option they added recently. Portions and prices are reasonable. This isn't a place you'll take somebody you want to impress but its central location just off the freeway, solid menu and competent management make it a much better bet than the Applebees just up the street. read more

Service takes a while. We were seated for a long time before the waitress came to us. But food was soooo yummy!!! Dessert even better! Try the bacon chicken quesadilla, and the margherita flatbread! wow! read more

I like Chili's. What can I say. They redecorated and the color scheme is nice and they opened up the center portion so it's much airier. Very nice. They took down all the posters and tchotchke I suppose because Applebee's has the patent on that now but the artwork they put up is a little sterile and generic. They should fix that. Don't let Applebee's push you around, Chili's! read more

Oooohhhh, The servers are great. Enuf said.. Well not enuf, the food is the standard, US Foods, or Sysco.I had a prawn entree a few years ago, and was very sick. My Husband and kid eat here all the time, I think they go in for the hotty waitresses. But, I'm not a fan. Not a "dining experience". And it is expensive for what you get, read more

Chili's - Chile's - Tex-Mex Near Me - Livermore, California

Recently came here with a friend for lunch. We ordered off the "$20 For Two" menu. For two people, it's almost silly not to order from this menu, which had decent choices. You get a choice of appetizer and two full-size entrees. We started with the chips and salsa. Our friendly server also brought us the fire-grilled corn guacamole since it was also an option off the menu. The chips here were addicting because they were so light and crispy. For lunch, I had the Bacon Ranch Chicken Quesadillas. The portions were pretty big; 2 quesadillas. It was pretty good, but I wished that the tortillas were soft. Instead, there were toasty and crunchy. Service was excellent. Our server was friendly, attentive with refills, and brought us to-go containers appropriately based on what we had left. read more

While I normally avoid chain restaurants, we were in a weird mood and decided that it has been long enough and wanted to give it another chance. I perused nutritinal information to try to make my decision and found only one or two options that were a reasonable caloric level to consume. The calorie information was not on the menu itself, but a booklet on the table. The server was patient but the food was boring. Felt like a waste of money for the quality. They have a good $20 dinner for 2 deal that includes and app and 2 entrees. None of the choices were healthy or vegetarian. None. We could easily consumed over 2000 cals each by going this route. Terrible decision. My chicken was overcooked but it was alright with me. I'd rather eat overcooked chicken then undercooked! The service was good though so that's why 3 stars. The food is more like a 2. read more

During the CV-19 pandemic, Chili's has been the most organized, consistent, best curbside service restaurant in Livermore. Their ordering system is easy, custom orders are made correctly, timing communicated has been accurate, and when we arrive, they come right out. Really great service and organization! Their Patron margaritas to go are also great! read more

Super slow service, did the 2 for 25 or 30 meal and waitress took forever to come back and check on us to get dessert. Then they did a system reboot/update(I don't care) so they can't order food and then tried to pay to leave.... can't pay on machine because of the update! I go out so I don't have to think, cook (food was luke warm)or worry about crap but clearly Chili's isn't the place to go either! read more

Mmmmmm, burger - original quick tip. I'm going to upgrade my rating to a full three stars. I do like their burgers, they are juicy, tasty, and you have a variety of ways to have them prepared. The service is attentive and there is a modest variety of choices though it is no more than what's offered in other bar and grills. It doesn't get 4-stars because the prices have crept up. They may be more expensive than Fudd's and not as gourmet. Their fries are standard-fare and unlike Fudd's, you can't get the cheese sauce. It would be unfair to rank this below that day-of-the-week that comes after Thursday, but it is still two full notches above A-Bees. read more

Felix: This is probably the worst Chili's restaurant I've ever gone to! We love Chilis don't get me wrong for their value menus like 2 for 20, happy hour, etc. But come on! As a chain restaurant, they've got to get it together! First of all the hostess did not even greet us nor smiled at us. Our waiter looked overwhelmed with what's going on. As far as food--- They served us Over salted greasy tortilla chips, Trio Fajita arrived not sizzling and not hot (looked like they just MICROWAVED it!). My kids cheese pizza dough was underdone! Bad review! We will never come back at this location anymore. read more

Best Chili's we've had in our 2.5 years in the US. We stopped here en route to Stockton, for lunch, it was busy, but the food was delicious and came out piping hot and the service was great - what more could you want? I had the chicken buffalo ranch sandwich and hubby had the original crispers - in case you're interested! read more

Recently remodeled. And speedy for lunch finally!! in the past you couldn't get out of this joint in under a hour. But this day we had our lunch and drinks and left Chili's around 35 Minutes. Lunch specials are great. read more

They messed up my order 4 times and expected us to pay full price. First, the fries were cold, then I asked for no onions and to my surprise, I found onions inside of my burger, the lettuce was wilty, and they were slow read more

We've been going to this location for 6 years and never have we been dissatisfied. The service is always great and the food is consistent. We go about 1-2 times per month. read more

BEST HAPPY HOUR, it's a secret they don't advertise. If you eat in the bar area, all day, every day. You can't beat bottomless chips, which are the best tortilla chips around, light and salty with their salsa. We are regulars, and their beer IS THE COLDEST IN TOWN. A Large Coors Light is only $3.99 during happy hour and those glasses are more than 16 oz. probably 22 oz? Have a good assortment of beers on tap, so you can go import or IPAs. Haven't had a problem yet with orders being incorrect or slow service. YET. Happy hour appetizers are substantially great prices and are meals in themselves, sliders/fried, fries/jalapeno/chili, pretzel sticks, chicken nachos, bonless or bone in chicken wings, all only either $2.99 or $4.99. Not to mention you can watch your any of your favorite sports on the various televisions they have. This review is strictly for happy hour and the bar area. The same waitresses have been there and have yet to have a bad experience here. read more

Ok yes it's chili's and I rarely review chain restaurants but after our experience last night I felt it was needed. We went in for a quick dinner before heading to costco. Our server was Monica and we told her we were on a time crunch because we wanted to make costco before it closed. She assured us she would do her best and she really did. Oh and I forgot to mention the place was packed. Monica is a Great server and she went that extra mile to make our dinner easy and stress free. Thanks read more

This was the worst meal ever!!! Overcooked dry boneless buffalo wings. The steak was a boot. Just the worse meal ever. REFUND FROM CC COMPANY UH YES PLEASE. read more

Today was my worst experience. It was busy, but found a place to sit at the bar. It was not clean and still had plates from previous customer sitting there. No problem, its busy. Bartender sees me. Says nothing. Waiting.....waiting.....waiting. 10 minutes later. Bartender, what can I get ya. Large Beer and a menu when you get a sec. Keg is out need to replace it. Not I sorry the keg is out can I get you something else. No. No. Just gonna wait for the keg change. Finally a menu. Dirty plates are finally removed. Still needs to be wiped. Waiting to place order, waiting for that beer. Hmmmm, this is not going to be good. Better cut and run. Head to front to talk to manager. Not there, no surprise. Wont be in until Saturday. If this was my first time here I would never go back. When the people a business rely on cant be corddile. Say hi, be with you in a few minutes. Apologize for the wait still make the customer feel they are not being ignored. This bartender sucked, her respect for the customer none existant, and for me I scooted before I got myself in trouble for not treating me like a customer should be treated. Calling GM on Saturday... read more

Chilis has one the worst factory farming practices for the chickens raised and slaughtered in its supply chain!!! This is inhumane and irresponsible. And don't kid yourself if you're that selfish and have no compassion to think it doesn't affect you. When animals are scared before they are slaughtered, they release a toxic toxin in their blood stream and YOU inject this poison. When will companies chose integrity and compassion over money? read more

We came to Chili's today for lunch to celebrate my boyfriend's dad's birthday. We were seated quickly. It looks like they've redone the menus. Our server greeted us quickly and took our drink order. He suggested margaritas. Umm buddy, it's one'o'clock, no. He seemed pretty disappointed when we ordered one iced tea and three waters. He came back with our drinks barely two minutes later and asked if we were ready to order, even though we were all clearly still looking at the menus. He came back again five or so minutes later and we were ready to order. My boyfriend ordered first and got a burger. The server asked if he wanted to add avocado for 75 cents. He said no. I also ordered a burger, and he also asked me if I wanted avocado for 75 cents. I said no. Our food came quickly. The food was actually really good. The server came back only ten minutes after we got our food with the check and said "no rush but I'll just leave this here for you". All in all, good food, but our server was really pushy-from suggesting margaritas at 1'o'clock to asking to add avocado, to bringing the check within ten minutes. read more

The server we had was excellentHis name was Brayan, way to go I would absolutely have dinner her at Chilis again read more

See all

I figured it was time I finally gave this place a little praise. Chili's is always the answer for my wife and I when we don't know what either of us want for dinner. Chips and salsa, Two for $22 and Trivia or Life on the tablet at the table. Never fails to satisfy me. It's so simple. My wife is pregnant so she can't drink, but when she wasn't we loved experimenting with all the different fun mixed drinks Chili's has. She loved the watermelon cooler. I like the presidente margaritas. When our kid finally comes we are totally looking forward to this being our family night out restaurant. Don't break the bank, and get food where you get exactly what you expect. Best part about this place though? Not driving around 30 minutes for parking like you do downtown. read more

Food is good and all but if you ask something to the servant, RHWY DONT GIVE IT TO YOU. After asking they worry about other people here eating and just walk past me, like I didn't ask anything. I'm not a ghost to you. I had to ask another guy here that works here. They need to up there game up!! Got really frustrated cause my food was getting cold. Give it 3 stars read more

Ordered a dish that had some ranch dressing in little bowl on plate. When delivering it to the table as the server reached to put dish on table, the little bowl of ranch fell off the plate onto my lap. Got an insincere "sorry" with a pile of napkins. Had to ask for a wet bar rag to try to get dressing of my clothes and had to tell the server to wipe up the dressing off the floor so I didn't step in it. No apology, no visit from the manager to see if I was ok or any other kind of gesture. Really poor service. read more

Can't go wrong with the original crispers but they always are sloppy with the to go orders. Things get slapped together or forgotten. However, The people are always very friendly read more

Chili's has very bad customer service when someone orders to-go. I've ordered there twice (for to-go) and the first time they've forgot two of my order. The second time they messed up my order. They are never are ready on time, and when you enter the to-go entrance they don't even acknowledge your presence. They see you enter but completely ignore you. They literally give you the food and walk away not even a "have a good day" or "what else we can help you with." I honestly don't even want to order food from there again. read more

Too bad the lowest rating I can give is 1 because this place doesn't deserve such a high rating. Horrible food, service and atmosphere. I'm not going to waste anymore time on this place. All I can say is, RUN! I'd rather eat from a dirty roach coach than go back to this place. read more

Beware ordering anything with mashed potatoes. They will serve old, should have been thrown out hours ago, potatoes. Nobody wants steak and a side of garbage. read more

Chills is a good place to go to eat, with family, friends from work or were ever. The food is great. Go back all the time with friends from work to have lunch or dinner. Everyone who works at chills is friendly. They get your food out quick and its hot and fresh. read more

My mom and I have come here several times and not had the most attentive service. Tonight I attempted placing my order to go and picking it up. While the food was very good, this review is mostly for the service. I believe I've discovered why I've previously gotten mediocre at best service at this location. When I walked in to pick up, there was another woman standing at the counter waiting as well. The door to the kitchen was open and I could see at least 7 employees leaning against counters and chatting away. I made eye contact with several of them and none bothered to come to the counter. It wasn't until a server working diligently to serve the bar area went to the back to grab a to-go container and asked if there was someone who could assist with the register that one of them managed to tear herself away long enough to take care of us. While I understand not all employees may be trained for all areas, I am appalled that the management is so lax at this location that this kind of "service" is allowed. read more

I ordered the special which you get 3 items for $10. I ordered a chicken fajitas and also chips and salsa. The chips and salsa were delicious but the problem I had was the chicken was not really grilled .Also the chicken, the onions and a peppers were cold. I only live 5 minutes away..Very disappointed read more

Ribs were delicious, fall off the bone and flavorful. Santa Fe Salad was good, but the Berry Fusion margarita was the best. So good I ordered 2! Ricardo our waiter was attentive and polite. All in all a surprisingly great experience for a chain restaurant. Would recommend. read more

This was an unusual late dinner after work. Even more unusual that we chose Chili's since we've never been big fans but it was here or Denny's. I think we made the wrong choice. We sat in the bar. The atmosphere is kinda cool though the TV's were quite loud. Our server Brayan was attentive and polite. Now for the critique- My Caribbean salad had only 3 pieces of pineapple and those had bits of peel and hadn't been cored (uneatable), the cranberries and raisins were dried out(old), the lettuce wasn't even real cold. On the plus side there was plenty of shrimp. But be forewarned- the "Honey-Lime" dressing doesn't taste like either but it does taste like mustard, -the Balsamic dressing tastes like someone mixed Honey-Lime with a shot of vinegar, yuk. I love big, bold flavors but chewing on warm mustard seeds doesn't qualify. $11.89 and I ate 1/3 of it. Hubby's Prime Rib Tacos were equally disappointing. The meat was less like prime rib and more like pot roast slathered in some kind of fake "grilling sauce", VERY little avocado, black beans were room temp and didn't get eaten. Then, on my way to the bathroom I walked all the way through the mostly empty restaurant and saw food scraps under every table. One gal was sweeping (kinda) and the others were....? Needless to say I won't be back. At least at Denny's I know what to expect --like kitchen help that doesn't know how to properly cut up a pineapple but at least they know which foods are supposed to be hot and which are supposed to be cold. By reading all these reviews it's really surprising they are still around. The management reads these and must not really care that they are on the same path as Applebee's as nothing is changing. Fine by us, we'll wait for another hot spot to take their place. read more

Chili's - Can't eat pineapple that still has the core and peel - Tex-Mex Near Me - Livermore, California

Be very careful. My boyfriend and I are regulars at this chili's and I have been a regular since I was a kid before they remodeled the whole restaurant. We decided to stop in on Friday July 12th at around 8:30-9pm to grab a dinner since my boyfriend got off work late. He always orders the steak fajitas but decided to mix it up and got a mix of the steak and chicken fajitas and I decided to get the Just Bacon Burger. The total for the bill being $60.26 after drinks and what not. Boyfriend starts eating and makes a comment that the chicken and steak tasted a little funny (tough, overcooked) and I tried a piece and I had to agree something was not right. On top of that, they sent out his beans he gets with the fajitas in the paper cup they use for to go orders. That just shows the lack of care for our food that night. We didn't think too much of this because he had always ordered the steak and it can be hit or miss. About an hour or so after being home, my boyfriend started to experience diarrhea and nausea. I myself started to feel sick as well but we passed it off as a light stomach ache from the food but it didn't end that night. Two days later and we are still feeling sick and haven't been able to do anything the whole weekend because we need to be near a toilet. And even trying to eat other food was a whole new ballgame. Nothing would stay down. I contacted a chili's manager today (July 14th) to let them know what is going on and all I got was a sorry and I will see if their were any other calls. I am not looking for my money back or a free handout but I sure wasn't looking for someone to just say sorry either. The only good thing about our experience and the reason that this post is getting a 2 star and not a 1 star was the waiter that we had (can't remember his name) always takes care of us and even helped us make our bill cheaper by doing the 3 for $10. Other than that, stay away if you don't want to get sick from their food read more

This was my first time going here, there's not much to say besides the fact that the accommodation was extremely high. The staff seemed very friendly and cooperative with my hungry stomach! I love to grub and I must say this place is an essential stop by for chili lovers! I never had anything like this before but I will definitely become a regular! Only problem is the wait is a little long but I guess that's because they want to make it great for the customers. * Highly accommodated * Friendly staff * Great food * Clean Place * Perfect for having a great time read more

This place is horrible, this staff really needs to up theory game. If my kid didn't love this place I would never come back! Slow service and lousy food even for a chilis. read more

Besides a few good laughs between my sister and I about the horrible meal/service I recieved at this Chilies, I was really turned off about the whole experience. Food: I had the Chicken Fajitas. When the server brought out the pan I was taken back at how hot and unprepared the whole meal was. I joked with my sister while I was literally stiring the food while it was still cooking. I was doing so for not for a minute, but somewhere between 3-5! I couldn't believe it! It was a decent meal but in a way I felt that I deserved a discount for partcipating in the cooking process!! Service: The waiter was very poor blaming staff for his performance. We had huge gaps with no service and he appeared very annoyed and unhappy working there. I would definitly not waste my time or cash at this place. read more

i am to the point where i think I'm just not gonna eat here anymore. service has gone down hill, food has gone down hill and management doesn't seem to care. 3 resent events that stand out in my mind are- my sons mac and cheese still having a piece of the plastic boiling wrapper in it. thank god we saw it half way through. it was covered in cheese and he wouldn't have seen it, can we say CHOKING hazard. i notified the manager and her insincere apology was a joke. do you not understand my child could have just choked! that is not something to be taken lightly. they didn't even offer to comp us it. other event, my son spilling my water all over and servers just walking by and we frantically tried to clean it w/ 2 napkins. and an older one that i have still yet to forget. back when they have the potato soup that i used to crave and i also ordered the buffalo salad. i got a order of it from the take out. i was so upset to get home and see they hadn't put any toppings on the soup or the salad. the food was awful. what is a salad that you pay way to much money for that is just chicken, lettuce and dressing? i called them so upset expecting my order to be comped and they said there wasn't a manager there but they would take my number and have them call me. well, i never received any calls back. man, the more i write this and remember all the frustrations i have had here, i really don't think I'm going back. i think the reason why i have continued is the connivance of it. read more
