Besides all the bad reviews this place has, I decided to give it a try. From the parking lot alone, it didn't seem like a bad place because it was packed. The only thing that might irritate people is that the service is a bit slow. But other than that, I had no issues. I ordered a 6 oz sirloin topped with avocados, with the fresco salad and tomatoes. It was great. I had no complaints. read more

Chili's - Bars Near Me - Ponca City, Oklahoma

Had to return to restaurant to get my soup. It was chicken enchilada soup. It had absolutely no chicken in it. It was all broth. The flavor was good, but poor quality. I tipped the server even though it was a to go order before I found out I didn't have all of my order. Poor attitude by server who got me my soup. He acted like he could care less about me or my order. He didn't seal the lid on the soup and it dropped on my hand and I asked him for a bag to put it in after I sealed it. He didn't offer me anything to wipe off my hand. read more

Good food, decent prices, lots of choices... we enjoy Chili's. Easy to understand why it's usually pretty crowded.

Went for lunch mid-afternoon; much quieter than normal. Waitstaff was attentive and friendly. Plenty of food, with some to take home.

The food is what you want your favorite Chili's to taste like. No it's not 5 star food but it's going to be consistently pretty dang good! The service on the other hand was amazing, Katie at the bar was on point and a hoot to be around. read more

I used to really like Chili's but no more. Could the menu be any more generic? All the things that are good there come with fries and I just don't want fries anymore. The salads are about as hum drum as you get. No imagination at all. We got the chips and salsa because we thought you still get them as rewards members. I guess not because we were charged for them. My daughter had to ask for mayonnaise and mustard for her burger and they never brought it. We asked another waitress walking by and I guess they rustled that up from the north 40 because it took another like 10 minutes. You would think they would have condiments at the ready since chili's is basically a burger and rib place. My chicken bowl was generic and lacked flavor and had too much rice. (Cheap filler) Those damn kiosks where you pay absolutely suck. Something always goes wrong and there's never anyone around to ask. I don't care if I ever come back here as long as I live. Too bad when we literally hardly ever go out to eat and it's like this. A giant thumbs down. read more

Our wait time was hardly anything but a minute. Our server, Julie, was incredible throughout the entire night despite being crowded with tables and with one particularly nasty crowd of people that couldnt bother reading through the payment process. She persevered their hateful comments and acted professionally towards them. She was so sweet and fast with inputting our orders. The food was absolutely amazing, I had the Nashville Hot Mozz and Classic Sirloin. The atmosphere was nice, despite the loud table nearby us. 5/5, would come back again just to request Julie! read more

Good food and staff are great people!! They remembered our group and very fast service.

I always have a good experience here. The service is always friendly, and in the decade I have been frequenting this establishment I can count on 1 hand how many for experiences I have had. read more

Food, honestly was what you'd expect at a Chili's. Nothing crazy great, but it ain't complete gas station. Ya feel? Drinks were cold though. Walked in as a single for my only night in town, so y'all know how that is, right? Andi as my server/bartender was probably the coolest vibe of a person I've ever met, much less within the Oklahoma state limits no hate all love. The people around the bar were cool and easy to talk to. ps-whoever may have Darren's contact info (Farm Bureau around Ponca) please I'd like to contact. Even if it means coming back to Oklahoma. Absolutely great people though, good vibes. read more

I went there today with my daughter and received the worst service . First off the table was dirty, next our waitress took our order and didn't return with our food for 1/2 hour . Showed up with our chips. Then another 1/2 hour till we received our salads. Then we started eating approximately 45 minutes later. Food was cold. I asked if she talked to her manager about our cold food and she said she did and that we were getting a discount. Our discount was a senior discount which I should have received anyway! read more

They were so wonderful to help me at 10:57pm only 3 minutes until closing. I work a late shift and I was starving so to see that quality of service that late at night was just amazing. read more

I've never called and commended a restaurant for their food being so good, but i called tonight. Im from Louisiana and I travel all over the US. Chili's is my go-to when i can't find anything else. I don't know if this Chili's in Ponca City is using the seasoning out of their cabinets at home but that shit was so damn good HIGHly Recommend! read more

I have always enjoyed the place. The menu is great and I e always left full and happy. They have lots of seating but there's usually a short wait time. They seem to be packed everyday. read more

I found their service completely atrocious. They should be ashamed. I called in and the lady seemed immediately aggravated that she had to answer the phone. I called to see if I could do a 2 flavors of their It's just wings combo if I placed it online or if I had to do that in person at their store. Before I could ask she interrupted me and immediately said she can't pace orders over the phone I had to do it online. Before I could say anything she immediately hung up on me. OWNERS if you are reading this which I hope you do she was working today Monday 20th at 12:30pm answering the just wings number. I decided to take my business elsewhere as a result. read more

Order togo it was gross chicken crisper were cold and like rubber i will not go back fed them to my dog and apologized to them yuck normal crappy food in ponca city read more

I was in town for a week for work and this was the only restaurant in town besides about four other Mexican restaurants, unless you wanted a variety of fast food chicken restaurants. You would think that you can't go wrong going into a Chili's considering the variety of food they offer. But I was there three times and the staff was horrible. I always sit at the bar because the service is typically faster. I had a different bartender all three times and they each were gone, I kid you not 20 minutes at a time every time they left the bar to walk into the back. One of my friends ordered a Tangueray and tonic and she tells us they don't serve that cocktail here. When there was a bottle of Tangueray sitting behind her on the bar shelf. Then on a completely separate occasion same friend asked for a Bailey's and coffee and a different bartender told him that they don't serve that brand of coffee. I get you're in a small town but your bartender should be educated on the products they're selling. Oh and we waited 15-20 for a side of ranch with our wings. Maybe the service is better outside of the bar area. read more

This place is really hit and miss. One visit may be great and the next they can't cook to save their lives. Most of the servers really try hard to make your visit enjoyable. I'm not sure if it is lack of management or what the deal is but we don't have that many choices in Ponca to eat therefore we keep coming back. Good luck on your visit. read more

Chili's - a dining area with tables and chairs - Bars Near Me - Ponca City, Oklahoma

Ordered curbside pickup, at 6:45 waited outside until 7:50. After that they bring the food out and forget to ask me to pay so instead of bumping shoulders with a bunch of door dashers I leave, I get all the way home and they call me to come pay for it, so I go down and pay for it and the kiosk makes me leave a 15$ tip, drive back home to my food cold, 10/10 chilis read more

Chili's is a recognizable sight, though they are all different. This one was great. I was in Ponca City for a week, and ate here twice. I visited in June, 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic. This Chili's did well with masks and social distancing. The food was good, and the service great. I'd definitely eat at this location again! read more

Good place to eat. They have good menu. They have reasonable price too. Only thing is my stomach was not full when I left the restaurant though food was good. Also I like digital display on the table where you can pay yourself after receiving bill. This is unique to every restaurant I went. Only reason I gave 4 rating is because food was not enough for me. read more

I've been going here since June 2020 and has always been amazing. I went there yesterday and ordered a burger and I asked for no tomato's and no pickles. Unfortunately, when I got my meal, there were pickles on the burger but other then that, it's still a great place to eat!! read more

I lrecently ordered from the to go side. I had the Southwest eggrolls and Shrimp Alfredo. While the food was good I felt the serving size for the Alfredo we considerably small for the price. (Was not even half of what I have received when ordering in the testurant) I will think twice before ordering from too go side again. read more

Waited for my order 1 hour, received wrong order!!! Left without eating! POOR SERVIC AND POOR QUALITY OF FOOD!!!!!! I will NEVER visit this place again!!!!! read more

There is nothing more irritating than to sit at a four person table with four people and have no room for your plates and glasses, because there is so much other crap on the table! First, its a bottle of everything from steak sauce to whatever else the waitstaff is leaving on the table so they don't have to worry about you asking for it. Then there's the menus, from desert to specials to whatever fold up piece of cardboard there is that week advertising whatever. Then of course the table kiosk. Now you don't even deserve personal service when you pay! Just slide your card right at the table and wabaam! No personal interaction necessary. Plus it takes up a good portion of real estate. To top it off, you pay good money for an alcoholic beverage that has almost no alcohol in it. That alone is reason enough not to go back. After three visits, the food was hit, miss, and miss. There won't be a forth. read more

I just ate at Chili's and most of the food was very good but the ribs with sauce had a crust on them, dried out and tough. Very bad ribs. I could not even eat them. I have ate here before and the food was very good but not this time. An unhappy customer. Bill R. read more

The food was great at first when they reopened the place but now it has gone to crap and the food is not all that good! We ordered nachos and they had purple juice like stuff on them and they tried to say it was their black beans on them, But I say that is not beans and we have ordered alot of nachos before and we were not pleased plus there chilli tasted liked dog food it was burned and rubbery like I don't like how their running the place cause it is awful! Hopefully they get better service. read more

The food is usually good. The sirloin steaks are tough sometimes. If you get cold with a/c bring a sweater - it's always cold here. The service is usually good especially since they started the policy of team servers for tables. Every so often they get an order wrong - like peppers on the onion strings when they were held - but just tell them and they will get you a rush order in no time. The front of the house is clean and so are the bathrooms. The only part that's sometimes a mess is the kitchen floor in front of the ice machine. I think this is more a safety issue. Ice all over the floor which is visible as you exit the bathrooms. Over-all it's one of the better places in town to eat. read more

I have been here a couple times. What I've noticed is the service at the tables is much better than that at the bar. Also twice (once completely out of control) I've heard a female manager make a huge scene getting onto the people working for her. Her behavior is enough to keep people out of here. I assure you if another place like applebee's or something similar were to open, this place would lose business. I refuse to go back for awhile because I don't support the way the manager behaved. read more

Never had any issues everytime we go there. Like another reviewer also mentioned the place runs cold. I learned to ALWAYS bring a sweater/jacket if we know we are going to Chili's. Margaritas galore is the first two words I could think about Chili's. Lots of menu choices whatever suits your fancy. I like the upbeat atmosphere and lighting especially in the evenings when the place is packed. However, could be the acoustics in that building but it's a little hard to hear when you are conversing with someone. Otherwise, one of the decent places to go in the area! read more

Good food, always too cold inside, and hit or miss service. Unfortunately, probably the best restaurant in Ponca City.

We must have been here on a miss night, food was of poor quality, not very clean, service was great, and that's the only redeeming fact in my review. Oh! The beer was cold!!! read more

Worst Chili's i've been to. Service was slow. Food wasn't edible. Bartenders don't mix drinks correctly. My server didn't card until he noticed I ordered 2 drinks and 2 shots. Spend your money else where. read more

Food was cold our waiter forgot side salads never got drink refills had to go find another employee to bring us to go boxes and our waiter Vincent was at the bar talking to girls rather than doing his job! read more

We get there at 5:05 and we are seated immediately by a very sweet young lady (the only nice person in there) and we are told our server will be with us shortly. We look over the menu and are waiting for someone to take our drink order; I see a waitress walk by our table about 5 or 6 times and she is waiting on everyone around us. Then there is a young man with a "man-bun", I believe his manager said his name is Julian and he stops at one table laughing and cutting up with the customers, then goes to another table and is talking with them for a good three to four minutes, and proceeds on to another table and is just yacking it up with them. Finally, at 5:25 (20 minutes later) the same young lady that passed by us and made eye contact several times taps him on the shoulder and points to us, so he says to the people he's talking to that he will be right back; he comes up and says, "are you guys ready to order. Obviously we are after a 20 minute wait, we place our order and he brings us our drinks and does not say a word, just sets them down and goes back to the other table to talk some more. Our food is delivered shortly after by someone not our server, and the food was great, so I gave y'all 2 stars for that. Then he passes by my empty glass and looks at it so I think he's going to bring me another, NOPE. I had to stop him to ask him for another and he asked what I was drinking. Then goes and gets the drink, leaves my empty glass and did not offer to refill my husband's water or take our empty plates to go back and talk to the other table again. We catch the manager and try to talk to her and she did not apologize, but says I will talk to him and says to us, "you are welcome to tip whatever you feel is fair". Really? That's it? I do not recommend this establishment, I could see if it was busy but it was not even steady yet. We won't be back. read more

Ordered tableside quac and they brought the "fresh"quac instead. While there's not much of a difference there is a price difference and taste difference. I want to see it made in front of me - not see a pile of green and yellow premade mush come out trying to pass as such. Even the waitress said "add lemon at your own discretion". My family are regulars here and I don't want to see this kind of lack of communication due to fear in a good place. I pay for something, I expect it. read more

Always packed and with good reason. The chicken kickers, specialty burgers and Southwest Eggrolls are all great. I also highly recommend the buffalo chicken salad. The restaurant is generally clean and the staff are usually enthusiastic & friendly. read more

I have to agree with someone else's comment that this was by far the worst Chili's I had ever been to. I frequent them quite often in Florida and was shocked at how bad this one was. They were out of many food items as I heard the waitress explaining this to two other tables. Yes I listened to other people order because it took forever for them to get to me. I was actually starting to think they were not going to take my order at all . I ordered nachos with no jalapenos however they used something really spicy in the chips (or so I was told) and I could not eat it. Believe it or not the waitress/bartender actually tried to argue with me about this . I had to send it back and it just took forever ...the original order and the reorder. Then I paid with a $100 bill for a $19 tab and was given no one's. So this meant I was expected to leave a $5 bill on a $19 tab. Really the service wasn't that great and the bartender had walked away for a very long period of time before I left. There are just too many other restaurants to eat at to put up with this kind of crap. read more
