Service is always slow & restaurant is dirty. We were told to use the tablet on our table to pay for our meal. We did, but were stopped at the door & were told we paid the bill for another table. The manager came out & said he would credit our account for the wrong charge & then, we paid for our bill. When we got home & checked our account, we had been charged for 3 different bills & were never credited for the wrong charge. It's been a huge ordeal to get it worked out. They acted like we were trying to go without paying. read more

Place is filthy. My husband and I went for lunch and no one bussed the tables in our section for over an hour. Food all over floor and dirty plates on tables. Will not be back. read more

There are more than a dozen open tables and the wait time is 30 minutes. Poor scheduling and management. They clearly need more bussers and servers. read more

It takes a lot for me to write a bad review (or a review at all) but I had the worst experience I've ever had in a restaurant at this Chili's. Right after the hostess seated us I overheard her having a conversation with one of the waitresses. The waitress said she didn't want any more tables. So I figured we would just get another server. 10 minutes pass before anyone even acknowledges our presence. The same waitress who said she didn't want any more tables came up and said she could "finally get to us." Mind you, the restaurant was not packed. It was 5:00pm on a Sunday evening. It was busy, but certainly not slammed. We went ahead and put in our entire order so that we wouldn't have to wait any longer. We got our drinks and chips and salsa pretty quickly. About 40 minutes passed and our waitress came by and said she "didn't know what was taking so long" but could she get us anything. I don't really know what she could have gotten us...I just wanted the food we ordered. But we were nice about it and figured everybody's food was just taking a while. Not the servers fault. About 10 more minutes pass and the table behind us that sat down about 30 minutes AFTER us got their food. At this point I'm mad. And we leave. And we hand our gift card to the nice gentleman waiting to be seated because we will never eat at Chili's ever again. Every server in there was lazy and really didn't seem to care about patrons waiting. I overheard so many excuses not just from our waitress. "That's not my section" "I don't want any more tables". Absolutely ridiculous and horribly managed. I have NEVER walked out of a restaurant and honestly it takes a lot for me to even tip less than 20% even if the server isn't great. So all of this to say...stay far away. Go to the Applebee's down the street. read more

The whole restaurant is empty and there is a line out the door and a 15 min wait. What the f... ridiculous

Waited a long time for my food. Got it and it was kinda cold. Nice waitress, bad quality food. Don't know if it was an off night but I'm cool on Chili's for a while. read more

A good solid case of pathetic management. Managers should be given an ultimatum, one week to clean up or get out. The "ziosk" on the table was so disgusting I don't see how anyone could touch it. I used a napkin to move it and the napkin stuck to it. Service so far has been mediocre at best of it gets much worse we will be walking out. The servers really appear to have no clue what they are doing but a little training they could improve. Even the walls under the Windows is cover in dried spilled drink and food. Total and complete failure of management I will not be returning read more

Chili's - American Near Me - Madison, Mississippi

I sat down at the bar at 11;05 and sat there for 10 minutes without having anyone ask me for any kind of food or drink order. I left and took my business 400 hundred yards away to Applebee's where I was promptly greeted at the bar, order taken and now I am eating my appetizer, drinking my beer, and waiting on my steak. It seems that this is happening to me a lot at Chili's. The hostess sits me and then I sit and wait for 10 to 15 minutes before I leave. I give up. No more. read more

The waitress did not stay on top of her tables, even when we were the last one she had. We waited over 10 minutes for chips. Decent food. Terrible service. read more

Took out of town guests to Chilis, Madison, MS. When we said we had a party of seven, we were told they could not seat more than six to a party. We let the hostess know one was a child and with the double table already set up, four could sit on one side and three on the other. No way, she said they could not serve more than six. When asked why, she said they were short on servers. So, we asked if four sat at one table and three at the other, what would be the difference in being served. She then asked the manager who finally said it would be okay but we would have to wait 45 minutes even though the double table was open and no one else was waiting. We assumed they were letting us know they did not want our business. We went to Vassilios and had great service and a great meal. Even though we have been regular customers at this Chilis, we will no longer impose ourselves upon their service. Plenty of good restaurants in the area, so Chilis should beware. read more

I was thinking of taking my visiting family to Chili's since it has always been a favorite where we used to live. The reviews of this Madison restaurant and its management don't make me want to come and visit and really want me to spend my money there. I see where the District Management has commented in 2016, but I still see the same negative comments of slow and disorganized service and a dirty restaurant. It does not seem that either the local Managers, District Managers, or any Management seem to have a clue here. We had dined in the Applebee's down the street and it was a dirty disorganized mess. Never again. So, Chili's what do you think? There are so many other restaurants out there. read more

The sauce used in the baby back ribs was amazing. I had the Barbecue honey sauce and it was simply mouth watering. The wait was about 45 minutes from the time we ordered till the time we had our food. It was worth the wait. The service was good and my beer was always full. I think next time we eat at Chilis I will be trying a soup. Stephen read more

This is my son favorite spot‼‼‼‼ He love the Chipotle Chicken with extra chipotle sauce‼‼‼ He love the Mango Tea ‼‼‼

This is the second time in here and the place is under staffed again. The Host does not know how to seat people. The manager is walking in circles instead of cleaning tables and actually helping no she is Lazy just like the night Manager. There are no really good trained servers or managers bottom line this place is HORRIBLE. read more

Meh, I've had better for sure. Lately Chili's quality has nosedived. The hamburgers are pre-made thin patties and just are not good. The fries are still good seasoned fries. The service was great but again the food was lacking. I think I am going to stop visiting Chili's and to give them a chance to correct the problems read more

Worst service ever....hostess had serious attitude...took 20 minutes to get our drinks...pick another place

Waiting is ridiculously long even on Sunday night. We were waiting for 40 minutes, they were saying tables are not empty but no one were cleaning the empty tables. This is my second time waiting like this for more than 45 min. Staff not friendly:( read more

Every time we have tried to visit Chili's in the past 6 months, the wait has been a 45 minutes minimum, even when we call ahead and/or the restaurant is practically empty. The service was mediocre at best. We could excuse all of that if the food was good, but the food was low quality. We used to love going to Chili's but I guess we will have to fine another favorite restaurant. read more

We came in at around 7pm on a Thursday night after work. Although the restaurant is nearly empty, we (and others) stood at the front for several minutes while the staff stood around before being seated. The margaritas were good, but even after ordering our meals within 5-6 minutes of being seated, we didn't get food until 7:55. And the food is fast-food level - frozen shrimp, skimpy vegetables. On par for Chili's, I suppose, but I'm not sure (with this kind of food) what took so long. Service was friendly but extremely slow. read more

Walked into an empty restaurant and was told it would be a 20 minute wait for 2 people. Staff was polite but clearly the place isn't well run. read more

My friend and I went over to chili's at 9:05 and went in and no one came by to sit up. After standing around for 15 minutes we finally sat ourselves and then after 25 more minutes of no one coming by I finally flagged someone down and asked if we could get served and he said that the area we was in was shut down. I asked if we could get moved to where we could be served and finally 15 mins later we didn't hear or see anyone so we got up and went to Applebee's. I would never recommend anyone going to chili's. Very rude and no service and cannot speak for food as we never was served. read more

Sitting here for 30 minutes only to find out my waitress forgot to put my order in. I'm so hangry it's ridiculous.

1. the hostess was NOT polite 2. food was good 3. waitress was really good 4. tables and floor could have been cleaner i give it 2 stars becaus theres alot of room for improvement read more

I have lived in Madison since this Chili's was built. For several years after it opened it was excellent, but it has gone down hill terribly! Tried it again this week as it was my father-in-laws birthday and this was his choice. The hostess was a young twerp, with a smart attitude and was nothing but rude. When I asked her why we hadn't been seated (there were many empty tablets), she said smartly "come on I will seat you now". Our server was very nice but the food was terrible! You could tell they are now using very low quality shrimp and steak. The steak was almost inedible. We had 5 in our party and we all agreed the place had gone down. Over $100 thrown down the drain! read more

We came here after leaving the movies nearby. I was with a party of 5, and we were hungry and ready for some margaritas! This was opening weekend for 2 big movies, and Chilis and Applebees are the closest restaurants near the theatre we went to. So it was no surprise that when we arrived to a poorly lit parking lot, we could see that inside was pretty full. Once we checked in, we were told it would be a 45 min to an hour wait because some staff members had walked out. A few parties ahead of us walked out, so we only actually waited around 5-10min. After we were seated, the manager came out and introduced himself and our server. She took our orders and our drinks came out quickly. After that it was downhill. Our waitress kept forgetting our apps/food, but she was so busy, I couldn't complain. It was late and they were short staffed. So what she didn't bring my cookie and ice cream; I didn't need it anyway! read more

Traveling and arrived at 8pm on a Saturday nite 35-45 minute wait, OK thats typical. BUT 25% of tables were empty and at least another 10% not bussed. How much business did they lose? So we ordered food to go, and that was a real mistake as well. Cold fries, chicken tasted like it was cooked in old grease-guacamole had an off taste and was turning brown. Chilis you should be ashamed. Not a good impression for out of state road trippers. If I could have given zero stars, I would have. read more

Went for an early weekday lunch. Stood at hostess stand waiting for anyone working to acknowledge us. Waited and waited. Finally a waitress sat us and no one ever returned to take our order. We left without ordering after a 10 minute wait. So sad because the menu is great. Service is horrible to nonexistent! read more

On a Sunday night the wait was out the door. Completely understaffed and almost everyone seated at their table had no food or drinks. Once the 30 minute wait was over, our party or 5 waited 35 minutes for someone to finally show up at our table and take our order. Extremely slow, even when all other tables have left. We ended up spending all night at Chili's waiting and waiting and waiting.... read more

As much as I hate to leave a negative review since I'm in the service industry myself, the service here was terrible. 20 minutes for apps, another 20+ minutes for entrees, even then one wasn't correct. 15-20 minutes between asking if we needed refills, still took 10 minutes to get a refill still took them 10 minutes to get the refill, restaurant wasn't too busy, meanwhile managers just walking around aimlessly. Chick fil a would've been a better choice, just a suggestion. read more

I have been frequenting this place for one thing: pretzel sticks. But, as good as they are, I'm afraid I will not be returning. Desperately bad service. read more

This Chilis deserves five stars! I have lunch there at least 2 times a week...I love the waitstaff and have never had a bad experience! If you happen to be in Madison - GO! read more

Would give 0 stars if I could! Food is great, I love chilies as a restaurant but will never come back to this location! Service is poor! We were sitting over an hour before we got to order! Took an hour for our food to arrive after we ordered! Waitress acted like she was so busy when she would come to our table but was not waiting on any other tables! The staff rolled their eyes when sitting people! The manager was bringing out food and apologizing but staff were not working!! Will never go back read more

Disappointed in this Chili's server was not friendly and was unattentive. Chips were cold and unseasoned when at other Chili's (and even at this 1 in the past) they are warm and sprinkled with seasoning. Food was just so so. May have been just an off day but doubt we'll drive 30 minutes to this location again. read more

Service was aweful. We sat down at the bar with intentions of eating there but after the bartenders sour attitude, and waiting a full 10 min to try to get his attention, we asked for a table. We sat at table with a nice waitress, she took our order. She didn't return to our table until we finished our meal. Glasses empty, one napkin between the two of us, and we had to fetch our own silverware. Food was average. read more

The service in this place is a joke. The hostess and staff act like they are doing you a favor and you should be happy to wait on them. The orders were wrong and the managment couldnt care less. I took clients there in the past but I never will again. read more

Went to have a nice family outing at the Chili's in Madison and it was the worst experience I have ever had. We had to wait 10 minutes to be seated but for a party of 9 that wasn't even a problem. The problem came when we had to wait 10 minutes for the waitress to start taking our drink order only for her to say she would be right back. That wasn't a problem but she left the floor only to come out 10 minutes later to start taking other tables orders that were seated after us. After finally getting our drinks, we had to wait another 20 minutes for her to come back to get our food order. After waiting 25 minutes, we were able to get 3 kids meals. The other 6 people were left 20 more minutes before we just decided to inform the manager who instantly got a attitude. Our party decided to pay for what we received and hit the door. My advice to anyone considering this restaurant, I would say spend your money somewhere else. read more

The food is always great and our waiter Blair is even better! When we get there we ask for Blair to be our waiter. We go nearly every week on Friday and we just love it! read more
