    Triple Dipper
    Ginger P.

    I love that Chilis has totally revived their reputation lately. This visit I tried the famous triple dipper. The Nashville mozzarella sticks were great in the ranch, and I loved their cheese pull. Honey chipotle crispers were also good, the sauce is addicting. Egg rolls were good too. They have other good lunch deals, which the triple dipper isn't a part of, but this is still worth ordering. The items are sky high in sodium for sure (and calories!) but I don't regret it.

    Chili's at the Sports Arena is where corporate America and parental survival instincts meet in a fluorescent détente. You don't come here for nuance. You come here because your children are forty five minutes past their feeding window and the tablets on the table are basically federally approved pacifiers with touchscreens. Tap a few buttons, hand them over, and suddenly the dining room becomes a monastery of quiet, glowing faces. It's not elegant, but it is effective. The staff has the thousand yard stare of people who have seen every possible spill, tantrum, and chicken tender-related meltdown. They don't judge. They don't flinch. They simply glide through the chaos with the resigned grace of seasoned zookeepers. These are professionals who know that a family of five at 6:45 PM is not here to make memories. They are here to survive. And yes, Chili's has shed its once sprawling, early nineties fever dream of a menu. Back then it read like a culinary encyclopedia written by someone who had only heard rumors about other cultures. Today it's tighter. Leaner. Focused. Burgers. Chicken tenders. Fajitas. The holy trinity. The things Chili's was born to do. No one is sous viding anything. No one is shaving truffles. This is Chili's, sir. And then, like a hymn rising from the booth behind you, the ancient melody returns: I want my baby back, baby back, baby back... It's less a jingle and more a cultural artifact at this point. A ritual. A reminder that Chili's has been part of the American fabric longer than some states have had decent broadband. Pro tip from a dad who has logged the hours: Join the rewards program. Every visit comes with a free trough of chips and salsa. A bottomless morale booster. A peace offering to the table gods. Three and a half stars, rounded up to four because nothing in this world is more beautiful than children who are fed, quiet, and momentarily content.

    Big Smasher Burger
    Julia G.

    After a day at the beach we stopped by Chili's. Literally my third time at a Chili's and it was really good. I ordered a smash burger and fries. Fries were too salty so they gave me a new batch and they were amazing with the burger sauce to dip them in. Highly recommend. My friend got the Cajun shrimp pasta and he liked it but also said his was a tad salty too. That didn't stop him from finishing the whole plate! Our server was the best! So attentive and kind. We were blessed for sure.

    Triple Dipper
    Dexter B.

    Came here on Monday with my gf and her sister, possibility of short staff issue but wait time was a little long for not being busy. Parties that came after us were helped and seated by other hostesses before us until our original host never came back to us. The food tasted the same as any other Chili's location I've been to, so no major comments there.

    3 for me. Burger and fries choice of a starter and a drink. Burger and fries were good!!
    Christina L.

    I will admit chili's has gotten a lot better with their food items. There's a lot more options available. They have some great choose 3 options for a good price. The staff here generally are pleasant. Lots seating. Place is pretty clean. In the times I've been here I have gotten seated pretty quick even with a group Food came within a reasonable time especially when it's busy. Servers are pretty consistent with being attentive. Overall no complaints.

    Trio special, shark attack cocktail & burger
    Jana N.

    I have always really enjoy Chili's and it brings with it some nostalgia to high school days. They always have great deals, is a great place to meet up with people and have some good drinks and watch sports. This Midway location is pretty convenient and even though it was quite crowded, we were able to sit in the bar area. Our server was a super nice, chill guy who was very good at his job. As usual, we ordered one of the specials and got their shark attack cocktail and a burger. All super tasty and we left very full, but also had some leftovers.

    Came in an hour before closing. The service was fast but it was disappointing that they stopped serving the chips with the dip trio because they didn't want to fry anymore chips that late. I got the baked potato soup for the 3 for me because they didn't have the dip trio. The steak was tender and great value for the price. For the triple dipper, I had the honey chipotle mozzarella sticks, honey chipotle crispers and original chicken crispers. It was fresh. The honey chipotle sauce is a bit too sweet for my liking. Ambience-it's the same as any casual chain bar/restaurant. Parking at this location is super easy. They have a big parking lot. Chili's is Chili's. I'll definitely be back.

    Witches brew margarita of the mknth
    Curt T.

    Denect food. Have a real 3 for me and it's a good value. Our server was friendly and the food came out quickly. For a burger and a cup of soup with a drink for 10.99 Margarita of the month was $6 and it was good and flavorful.

    3 for 10 deal
    Ariana H.

    We got seated within minutes on a Friday night, and the server came by shortly after to take our drink orders. It was my 11-year-old's birthday dinner (Chili's is his favorite no matter where we go), so we went with the 3 for $10 deal--both of us got burgers. Service was quick and friendly, and the food was delicious. I had the Smasher burger with an extra patty and extra sauce. It comes with an appetizer, so I went with the enchilada soup, which was really well-seasoned. My son chose the chips and salsa appetizer and ordered the Old Timer burger. Of course, we had to finish with the Molten Lava Cake to celebrate his day. Everything was tasty, and the service was spot-on. I'm not thrilled that I had to go to Chili's while on vacation, when we can easily eat at home, but my 11-year-old really wanted Chili's and a burger, so I happily obliged. Thanks for making his birthday dinner a success!

    Steak, mashed potatoes and broccoli
    Lupe R.

    From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt welcomed. There were team members opening the door and greeting us warmly at the reception, which immediately set a positive tone. The restaurant was very clean and had a great, comfortable ambience that felt perfect for families. We waited no more than 10 minutes to be seated, and our waitress was extremely polite and accommodating to our party of six. The service throughout the meal was excellent. Not just our waitress, but multiple servers checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about our experience. The food came out quickly and tasted great. Every plate at the table was easily a 9 out of 10 or even a 10 out of 10. I ordered the half rack of ribs, and the portion was very generous. It honestly looked closer to a full rack. The ribs were flavorful and tender. The mashed potatoes were seasoned perfectly with just the right toppings, and the loaded mac and cheese was rich and delicious. Others in our group had the sirloin steak, which was cooked perfectly and rated a solid 10 out of 10. The kids' meals were also well made and enjoyed, which made the experience comfortable for both kids and adults. We finished with desserts, the cookie and the brownie, and both were delicious and the perfect way to end the meal. Overall, this location delivered great food, fast service, and a welcoming atmosphere. The kids felt comfortable, the adults felt well taken care of, and the clean environment and family-friendly ambience really stood out. I would 100 percent recommend this Chili's location and would absolutely love to come back.

    Dog pulling items off dirty table and eating them.
    Tyler B.

    Waitress was great but they allow dogs inside who are eating off floors, licking tops of counters and tearing up napkins they pull off tables. Absolutely disgusting. No action from employees.

    Molten Chocolate Cake
    Jordyn J.

    Say what you want about Chili's, but I've always loved it here. I could leave it at the fact that the molten chocolate lava cake is the best dessert known to mankind, but it doesn't stop there. Chili's consistently creates amazing deals to bring in customers, staying affordable without sacrificing taste. It's nothing too fancy, but the food is always great and it's an awesome choice for a relaxed date night.

    Came here for a Birthday dinner last Saturday night with a large group (~20+ people), the food and…read moredrinks were amazing and can't say enough how much I appreciate the staff and service here. Ruby was the first person I spoke with when I initially called, and she was lovely. The general manager Amber made planning easy - there were no deposits or minimums, I was able to order platters in advance, and she was great with communication. When I mentioned that the group loved Rumplemintz shots, Amber even set some aside after ordering extra bottles (and had it cold and ready when we came in). I was able to meet and thank Amber after we first came in, and she was so warm and welcoming and even gave us a few Rumplemintz shots on the house to kick things off (thank you again, Amber!). The reviews don't lie in terms of how good the food here is. When we arrived a little early, they had our platters ready almost immediately and kept them well-heated. We had platters of the sticky garlic wings and a mix of the garlic and regular fries, and ordered pretzels and queso and the elote dip à la carte for the tables. Everything was amazing and the sticky garlic wings and garlic fries were such a hit that we ordered a few extra plates of them as well (even though the platters were perfect for our group size). EVERYONE raved about them. We had a small amount left to bring home that were enjoyed the next evening and were still amazing after being reheated. A few people in our party got additional food items as well (burgers) and they were hits as well. The drinks were also phenomenal, with a special shoutout for the espresso martini and the Purple Haze mocktail (that a few folks liked so much they got an alcoholic version). We had a person in our group who can't drink and it was nice to see how inclusive they are with having a few signature mocktail options. The pricing was very reasonable, especially for the platters (they were perfectly sized, and we only ordered a little extra because the food was so good and we'd wanted to take some home). Highly recommend getting platters with a larger group here - you can pre-order and they keep everything well-heated for you the whole time. Most importantly, this place is a vibe and every single staff member we interacted with was SO KIND and accommodating. The service was top-notch and I wish I had everyone's names to thank them individually (thanks to everyone working Saturday, 8/1 evening!). We had the best time and Werewolf couldn't have been a more perfect place to host a Birthday dinner.

For a brunch spot, they don't have toast! When I tried to order a toast with a side of avocado, I was told they didn't have toast, but could get a biscuit. I went with that, but as I was eating the biscuit with avocado, it dawned on me that most biscuits have butter or dairy as an ingredient. Ugh! My friends consist mostly of omnivores and a few vegetarians. Everyone else was happy with their orders. The service was fast and friendly. My suggestion would be to have a fancy avocado toast to satisfy the occasional vegan that happens to stop in!

We get there right before it opens and they sit us down right away. I thought that was awesome. Some places will wait until they officially open. Even while just opening it was a festive atmosphere and the employees were amazing. My wife had the Diabla shrimp plate and I had the three taco platter I choose the birria and Korean tacos and they were amazing and had a different twist to them. You get to choose from various ones. This place is very instagramic and you may be paying a little bit more but in my opinion it is well worth it. We had the Miche mango blended drink and I ordered the Cadillac Margarita. They were very good and reasonably priced as well. The grand finale was the churro cart. What a show. Definitely worth some social media posts. We really enjoyed this place and hope it makes a comeback

I figured it was only a matter of time…read more When we went here, both times it was fairly busy, but not packed, and the service took wayyy longer than expected to get our orders taken and food brought out to us. I believe this restaurant banked on the fact that it was in Little Italy within downtown so they could charge extra for everything. Nothing you would get food or drink wise felt it was justified and the food was really plain or didn't taste good. Ambiance was a bit of a mess too since it seemed to try and mix a lot of different themes together which didn't work out too well. I think it was for the best this business moved on. Let a new restaurant take it's place that can do a better job in the night life scene, or try something new and different.
