This is the best chilis I've been to and I've have been to a lot of them! This chilis looks bigger than the previous ones I've been to. This location also seems busier. Its clean and dim in here much like the other locations. Its a very chill and easy going feel here. When i first walked in I went to my table that my brother had gotten. The host acknowledged me and said my server will be there to help us. I sat down and my brother and I waited. We just started talking while we waited for our server. After a while I noticed ite been a HOT minute. I was also very warm where I sat. I realized its been over 10m, maybe even 15m. I was irritated so I went to find the host and tell him I've been waiting 10m for someone. I didn't even get water or anything at all. The host looked like he genuinely felt bad. I went back to my table. Shortly after, our server came. We ordered and the food came out very quickly. After some time, our server came out to apologize and told us since we waited 10m the meal will be free! The meal will be on them! Wow! That surprised me! Granted what we ordered only totaled about 27$, this was still a nice gesture and excellent customer service. This has superseded anything I expected. I can tell by how apologetic my server was and the other workers, this location values customer service! The food ofc was delicious as always. Its chilis! Since the service was outstanding by sochi (sorry if I butchered the spelling?) I also tipped her 25$. So I guess it really isn't free huh? But i believe if you get treated well, you also should reciprocate. I will definitely choose this location over the other ones in san diego. read more

Decent. Solid. Pretty busy for a Monday night. Tried their 3 item meal deal and it was not disappointing. Did you know that you can get a large burger + fries + drink + appetizer/soup for less than an extra value meal at McDonalds? At Chili's you can! Their mozzarella sticks were crazy good. Never had them before! The cheese pull was amazing. They're crispy and you can get them drenched in sauce. I ordered a 6oz steak meal which was a solid option w a side of broccoli and mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes had bacon, green onions and cheese ontop. Also there was some type of garlic butter ontop of the steak which was really flavorful. I was pleasantly surprised by Chili's this evening. Will probably come back again while running errands around town for a casual sit down meal. read more

Honestly I can't be mad about a chilis dinner. They always have great dinner deals for two and this time we got the smokehouse combo with the ribs, quesadilla, and sausage. Their ribs feel less meaty than before, felt like a lot more bone on there but otherwise the bbq sauce is still tasty. The sausage was really good and the quesadilla was alright- I would get the chicken crisper next time. The service was really great and quick too. Chilis is a great place to hangout with friends and get a cheap meal! read more

Chilis has upgraded its appetizers, cocktails, and food menu beyond expected. We loved the new revisions to the menu. Wait Service was exceptional from Sam. He was friendly, fast and very helpful. The trio appetizer is one of the best platters around. They have great chicken tenders with a variety of flavors. The restaurant was busy on a Monday night but service and atmosphere were great. They don't skip a beat. Great service, great food and great times. Chilis has definitely stepped up their game. Well done Chilis read more

Absolutely fantastic! Love chilis for the amazing service, quick wait times, and how delicious the food is for a fantastic price. The mango marg of the month was delicious and did not taste too strong. The soup (chicken enchilada and baked potato) were both delicious!! The burgers were also fantastic, although we did find the old timer a bit bland and needing salt. The big smasher burger was perfect with the thousand island dressing it came with read more

It's a chill spot to hang out and grab a bite! read more

Before this visit, I don't even know when the last time I was at at Chili's? When I was 16? I came here pretty much out of desperation, I got into San Diego very late Sunday night, and to my hotel later, this was one of the only places open, and it was walking distance from my hotel. I wasn't in a good mood and I was ready to be disappointed, but I was pretty surprised by how good everything was? I got a ribeye, instead of potatoes, I got more broccoli. The broccoli was steamed, my least favorite way to prepare broccoli but...it was really good? It's better than roasted brocolli at a local restaurant back at home! The service was also attentive, really attentive, and fast. The taps are way better than I remember them being, but I wish they had more local brews...especially given that San Diego is probably in the top 5 of US beer cities! read more

My husband and I love coming here, the service and food is always great. This review is solely because each time we are there, it is so uncomfortably cold, it is difficult to enjoy the experience. In the bar, we ordered drinks and food, but had to get a box for our food and leave because it was so cold. On an 80+ degree day, we do appreciate having A/C, but not being able to enjoy the experience due to temperate is not ideal. Again, the service was great and very fast, but unless the temperature is fixed to make it comfortable and not unbearably cold, we may not be back. read more

I've come to this chilis many times for the quality of the food and feel of the location, however what made tonight exceptional was the service provided by Bella. She was attentive and accommodating the entire evening and made excellent recommendations in regards to food and drink. Thank you Bella. read more

Good ole Chili's. I forget how busy this place can get. haven't been here in years, but it still lived up to the same good standards I remember it last. My kiddos chose coming here for a family dinner and they were happy with their burgers, mozzarella sticks (by the way, these were larger than I expected and so good). We also had the fajitas which must be a fan favorite because I kept seeing them go out to other tables and you can hear the sizzle. Overall good place to go if you want a decent crowd, loud yet enjoyable environment. Kiddos loved it, so my guess is we'll be back lol. read more

Stop everything you're doing and go to Chili's and get the Triple Dipper platter right now. Food 5/5: $17 might be steep but oh boy these honey chipotle mozzy sticks that blew up on the internet are worth every penny (it isn't listed on the menu but if you ask for it they have it). The sliders were also great and I loved the caramelized onions on it. Although I love the honey chipotle sauce the tenders were probably my least favorite but still decent. Service 5/5: Nothing special but got checked up on and she was nice. Ambiance 5/5: It was a perfect place to eat and yap and it was actually really busy for a Wednesday night. read more

Chili's - Triple Dipper - Tex-Mex Near Me - San Diego, California

We had a fantastic experience at Chili's Grill & Bar on Scripps Highlands Drive, and a huge part of that was our waitress, Bella. For someone who's newer to waitressing, she was exceptional! She was quick, attentive, upbeat, and genuinely knowledgeable. She kept everything moving smoothly, checked in at just the right moments, and brought a positive energy that made the entire meal fun and memorable. Employees like Bella are exactly why people come back to restaurants. We walked in and were seated immediately, which was a great start. The hostess was polite and friendly, and the restaurant itself was clean, comfortable, and lively without being too loud, perfect for conversation. It happened to be National Margarita Day, so we ordered the $5 classic margaritas, which were refreshing and well-made. For food, we went with the Triple Dipper( the Big Mouth Bites, Honey Chipotle Chicken Crispers, and Southwest Egg Rolls). Everything came out hot, fresh, and exactly what you want from Chili's: flavorful, satisfying, and perfect for sharing. All around, it was a smooth, enjoyable experience. However! Bella truly made it stand out. Her attentiveness and enthusiasm elevated the night from good to great and because of that I wanted to make sure she got the positive recognition she deserved. read more

This was my first time at this location. I will say, overall, I had a really great experience. Service was good, food taste great, place was clean. Even when customers immediately left tables, the bus boys were very quick to come and clear the table(s) which I loved. Can't go wrong when an establishment stays on top of things and the employees are putting in the hard work. Thank you for that. They have a lot of good specials right now. They have a $10 meal; Your choice of the Quarter pounder and fries and some other things with a drink and a side. Great deal seriously! $6 dollar margarita of the month. Service was rather quick for being busy and food was good!. Even the servers we're great. I didn't have to wait long for a seat. The young ladies at the front, let me know that they would be right with me and kept checking in on wait time. After I was seated waitress I believe her name was Eden was a doll. She was great. Good customer service. Overall no complaints. Good experience. read more

A while back ordered food via the website and drove quite the distance to pick up my order. Upon arrival, I was told the side order to one of my meals was not available. When I asked for the options the manager only offered one and then proceeded to tell me it will be an additional charge. The choice was pay full price for the meal with no side or pay an additional full price for the side in addition to the meal. I was shocked by the poor service due to a short coming in their inventory but to punish the customers is pure stupidity. I remained calm during the transaction and informed her I would like to cancel my order. At that point, she walked away and came back with several male employees to stand next to her as she cancelled my order. They attempted to intimidate me into walking away without getting my refund but I stood firm until she process the refund. At first she refused to give me a receipt for the cancelled transaction. I insisted based on the tactics they attempted to use to hold onto my money. This place is HORRIBLE. I used to sing the praises for Chilies. They have lost a long time customer forever. read more

What a GREAT dining experience! Calvin is the Best server! He took great care of us and has wonderful customer service skills! Food was good and yummy!

Service was really fast, our waiter was super nice. The chips and salsa was soo good we couldn't stop eating them. The tortillas chips were so thin and crispy.

Definitely shareable! read more

Chili's - Triple Dipper - Tex-Mex Near Me - San Diego, California

Date of most recent visit: May 26, 2024 Where can one find an appetizer of chips and salsa (or a salad, if you're into that kind of thing), a beverage, and an entree consisting of a large hand-smashed burger and fries for under $11 minus tax and tip? At Chili's, that's where! One of the newest additions - if not temporary - to the Chili's 3 for $10.99 menu was their Big Smasher burger, which is their take on a Big Mac, but with a huge smashed burger patty, no middle bun, and topped with diced red onions, lettuce, pickles, American cheese and Thousand Island dressing. I wanted to check it out, and seeing how this Chili's location was the closest to me, came here after Mass this past Sunday for lunch. I was impressed with the size and taste of the Big Smasher; quite honestly, given how this was a limited time item, my expectations were a bit low. But, not only was the patty freshly cooked, the diced red onions and relatively fresher ingredients than your fast-food places elevated the burger. The fries were okay (and I didn't quite get as many as I would've liked), but the large amount of chips and salsa I got more than offset the portion size. Service was friendly enough; not only did I get seated promptly, they refilled my Diet Coke on a regular basis. And this particular Chili's is quite clean - I guess being a bit off the beaten path kinda helps. As I'm a member of Chili's rewards program, I'll be back whenever I get an email letting me know of an incoming deal (as well as get my birthday dessert when that time comes around). I just hope the Big Smasher stays on the menu, as Chili's has a winner on their hands with that one! read more

The service was very good and the prices weren't bad. I got tired of eating burgers so I went for their smokehouse combo. The Nashville chicken tenders were a bit too salty for me but the ribs were good. The restaurant has a nice familiar feel and I like that there are games you can play while waiting. read more

Chili's - Smokehouse Combo - Tex-Mex Near Me - San Diego, California

Going to Chilis is always a fun time. My family and I love to frequent this location and it has never failed to disappoint. The staff is always quick to assist you with anything that you need. They refill your chips and drinks so quickly and always make sure to check up on you. I would highly recommend getting the three for me and adding on the Dip Trio for an additional cost. Since the chips are extra, I usually just eat the chips for my meal and then save the chicken sandhich/burger for a later time! You get a drink, an entree and an appetizer with the three for me deal and It always comes to less than $20 which is an absolutely amazing price especially for a sit-down restaurant like Chili's. The interior is always clean and although sometimes it can run a little cold, don't let that deter you from going. There are so many promotions that I would check online before going to see what is special. read more

Everything is well and good, service, ambiance. Food is awesome and highly recommended

Chilis is average. Is your basic food that's a glorified version of fast food. Nothing too crazy. Chips and salsa is ok. The service, ghe waitress and waiters act like there doing the customer a favor. I think they need to update there decor. It's been like that for over 15 years. I had skillet fajitas for two shrimp and chicken. Not bad, could of been more shrimp. Not crazy about this location. read more

This Chili's wait staff is excellent! We get the 3 for me smash cheese burger and it only comes to $23 and change for 2 people and it's excellent. You got the cheeseburger fries choice of super salad drink choice for $23 and change is amazing. I just went to Popeyes chicken and it was $28 and it was horrible. Chili's is the place for us. We love it. read more

My friends and I came here on regular Friday night after work. We met up at almost 6pm because we couldn't find parking. Either carpool or be ready to walk a little bit to find parking!! Surprisingly, despite the parking lot being full, at the time we were there, it wasn't super full yet. But when we finished eating, it was basically a full house with a wait outside. We got seated right away which is always nice! I don't remember our server, but she was fantastic! Drinks were always full and she always came to check up on us throughout the night. The food was great! Typical for American food!! Their Mac and Cheese needs to come in a bigger bowl cuz it's delicious! I wasn't a fan of their fries. I upgrade my fries to their supreme or something. So it has cheese, jalapeños, and green onions with a side of ranch. I def would stick to regular fries next time. One of my friends said she got the triple dipper because it was trending on TikTok. For less than $20, it's not bad! It's considered an app that can be shared, but she ate it as her entree and could barely finish it. If I were to come back, I'd def try that! This Chili's has a bar area and I'm sure during game seasons, this place could be packed. All the TVs were on the night we were there , but I'm not sure there was a game that a majority of the people were there for. So it was nice that there wasn't a lot of screaming or yelling. This place can be loud because there are lots of families with kids, but overall it was an okay experience. read more

We ordered on-line and picked up our order. The email said wait time was about 35-40 minutes which wasn't too bad considering it was a Saturday night and it was a pretty packed house. We walked in and were directed to the back where to go orders were. Chili's was fairly loud but the to- go area was a little more quiet. Easy pick up and we were in and out. The food was good, a little pricey but then again everything is going up. We got a kids sliders with mashed potatoes (which came with a drink, chocolate milk was drink of choice that night) and the triple dipper. I think it is probably better eating in but my daughter had a gift card and just felt like grabbing some food and watching a movie at home. It was good. read more

Hey how's it going. First off. I love Chilis and I frequent this specific location a lot because it's nearby. I love going here with my friends for fun dinners and I was here just last week. Service and food was great! So I decided to come back again today. Service and food was sub par and I almost decided to leave in the middle of my meal. First off, after being seated it took our server 15 minutes to introduce themselves and take our drinks. After he had taken our drinks and orders, he never checked up on us again. I'm not one to complain normally because I know servers have multiple tables, but he would constantly pass our table and never checked up on or asked if we needed refills, which we did. We would try to flag him down but he ignored us. He only checked up on us AFTER we had all finished our food in which he asked if we needed a refill. Now thing brings me to the food. I always get burgers and Chilis and their burgers are always cooked well done. They never asked me before how I wanted it cooked so when I took a bite into this burger and tasted chewy gamey meat, I knew something was off. Decided to cut it in half and dismantle the burger to find the outside had been seared but the inside was cold and raw. I never got the chance to return or request a replacement because our server never came back to ask us how our meal was doing. This has honestly dampened my views on this Chilis location. Our server was short, white, brunette, and male (around 5'2-5'4) with a beard. Keep your eyes out if you see him because he will not help you. read more
