Great place for late dinner since they open till 11pm on weekdays. Mango chili chicken was very good and one of the more healthier options on their menu. It comes with brocolli, rice, and avocado. The skillet chocolate chip cookle was very sweet but good. it's a warm cookie with chocolate drizzle and large scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. I'm very happy with the overall food selection, the qualify, and the service, the waitress was fast to take our order, bring out the food, and refill our drinks. It was great to be able to pay at the table with the electronic pad when we were ready and not have to wait for the waitress to come back. read more

First time coming to this location and the experience was not good at all. There were so many bugs flying around. It was in my boyfriend's hair and on his clothes. We moved to other end of the side we were sitting on and it wasn't better. We both lost our appetite. Manager was very accommodating but we were already ready to go by that point. read more

I have been to this location several times and have not yet been disappointed. The staff is friendly and I've never had an incorrect order. It is located by the recently close Kmart on Dale Mabry, across from Ray Jay Stadium. I have never been here at an uncomfortably busy time and there is usually room at the bar. I enjoy sitting in the bar area and have never had bad service. If you sit at the tables, you can basically serve and pay solo with the tablet style table top kiosks. Plenty of TVs if you want to watch sports. The food has always been consistent here. I recently ordered the nachos (with beef) as my meal on a Sunday night. These nachos are individually topped and are soooo filling! The ribs, burgers and salads have never done me wrong. The servers are friendly and attentive. If you're looking for a late night nosh spot, I would recommend this Chili's location. Parking isn't difficult and the location is convenient. Overall restaurant and bathrooms are clean and up to date. I will definitely be back here. Even better, 2-4-1 beers, wines, wells, Long Island Iced Teas and Margaritas all day every day! read more

Yeap 2 stars! Located on Dale Mabry, just few blocks away from the stadium. We sat at the bar tonite, few booths were available. The menus were sticky which is such a weird feeling. You always wonder why it's so sticky lol. Few drops of hand sanitizer and I was ready to eat. We opted for the 2 for $20. Panko onion rings for app and Cajun pasta and fajita for entrees. I really wished they offered a heathy non-fried option for apps. Side salad or hummus and veggies would've been perfect. Onion rings were good, didn't taste any spice. The entrees were ok. Chicken fajita was just thrown in with onions and peppers in their steaming skillet (wished onions had more charred flavor). Not much flavor even with all the fixings. Pasta was horrible, the cheese sauce tasted like it came from a can. I was so surprised that's what they served here. I had a bite and I was done. This place used to be my goto place for burgers and fajitas but seems like the quality isn't quite there anymore. read more

Layla was our server, she was outstanding. Very personable, fast to deliver our drinks and food. When you come in ask for Layla!

The sever was very nice, however I ordered chips and queso and never received the queso, so I had the remove it from my bill... But the real kicker was the beard or pubic hair on my tray of food as you can see in the photo. The only reason why I am giving 2 stars is because of the server. read more

Chili's - As you can see in the photo there is either a beard hair or a pubic hair. Also ordered chips and queso and never received the queso. - American Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I went with a few friends and we waited for several minutes before anyone had spoken to us. The host that seated us placed us right next to the restrooms and drinks. I tried to use my reward upon paying for the drink and chips/salsa and it simply did not work. Tried to talk to our server about it, but was responded with "It only works if you pay for an actual meal". Our server spoke to us a total of 3 (three) times before we decided to leave. Truly did not appreciate the atmosphere that was created during our short time there. read more

The service was good. Although the food is not what it used to be. I got a bacon burger. Chilis used to have the best burgers in town. I haven't been here in awhile and the quality of food has went completely downhill. My mom got a chicken Caesar salad. At one time they used fresh chicken and was grilled. Not anymore I guess. Very disappointed. It won't let me post without clicking any stars. So I had to do one star but I don't even think they deserve that. What a bummer Chilis has went downhill so badly. Used to be a great place. read more

My family and I came to enjoy a meal after a long flight and we had really bad service from a server called Ryder. She was being very smart with us and made a lot of mistakes not sure if it was on purpose. Her attitude was not it. I will not be coming to this chili's again. If I could of tipped the guy who brought all the food to us I would of have it to him better . read more

I've frequented this Chili's location many times in the numerous years as a Tampa resident but have never written a review. The last few times here I've been impressed at how easy it is to get a table on busy Saturday evenings. The staff is always pleasant and makes sure drinks are topped off. Food wise, you can't go wrong with chips and salsa/queso to start. The triple dippers and any other items I've ordered have always been good and I've never had any complaints food wise. Prices are also reasonable for bar food and the location can't be beat. read more

Chili's you have let me down. Every single time I come to this location, it is a bad experience. I have tried so many times with them and it just doesn't ever work out. My husband is already not a fan, but always deals with it for me. I was having a rough day and I begged my husband to come here so I could get some chips and queso and grab some dinner. He gave in and we decided to come. To start with, we walked in and there was nobody at the hostess stand. There were plenty of servers standing around and talking, but not one of them came over and acknowledged us. Even the MANAGER looked at us and just kept walking. Apparently, this location doesn't believe in team work. We waited about ten minutes, if not more before a hostess came up front and greeted us and took us to our table. Once we sat down, we put in the order for our chips and queso and I ordered a strawberry margarita and my husband ordered the house margarita. The server asked me if I wanted sugar or salt and I said sugar. When our drinks came out, i got a house margarita with sugar? At this point, I didn't care, we already waiting so long just to get acknowledged that at this point, a drink was a drink. I asked the server about the mix up and he said that he thought i wanted the house with sugar. I mean maybe some people prefer that, but I personally have never heard or seen anyone with a regular house margarita with sugar. Our food came out, I got chicken fajitas and my husband a burger, thankfully our food was cooked correctly. It did take a while to come out, but at this point I wasn't even surprised anymore at the service we had been receiving. Overall, I have given this location multiple chances and it is such a shame because they are in a good area that is close and convenient. Sadly, the service is horrible. I still can't get over the fact that the manager ignored us knowing we walked in and there wasn't a hostess found. Do Better! read more

This is our go to restaurant on those indecisive nights where you can't figure out where to go. I mainly come here out of convenience because of its closeness to where I live. I have only positive things to say as any time I have had an issue at this location, it was made right either by taking the item off my bill or by bringing a remade item. I have had lengthier wait times for to go orders specifically during lunch hours at this location. My favorite server who I ask for every time is Holly. She is the server I always wanted as she tells it like it is and her honestly is refreshing. She is GOLD! read more

I should have known something was up when I had to go search my own menu. Service so slow I felt I needed to forward my mail. Chips are super thin and salsa is super thick. You do the math. Can't put chips in dip. Table has a little tv type unit to pay the bill. Hit a wrong button and a game comes up, boom, $2.99 charge. Want it reversed? Yea good luck with that when one person has to manage nine tables some having seven people. Another server doing nothing can't help. They say there are no managers here. I'd run too. Not coming back. zero percent tip as server continues to walk by us as we wait for the charge reversal for the video game and bad food. Hate these tabletop billing things. Do your job. Tricks you into buying more if you do not read the bill. Screen changes too fast to follow. Bye. read more

Ok so if you follow my reviews then you know I don't have very good experiences at Chili's. I came back because of Chili's management reaching out to me regarding my past negative experience as a means to make it better, so I took them up on the offer to give it another try. This time I went to the location on Dale Mabry Hwy and Columbus in Tampa. First, for me to rate Chili's anything above a 1 star means I was actually impressed for a change. I went on my lunch break and had the lunch special, along with chips and skillet queso. Our waitress was really the one that made for the good experience. She was very friendly and on her game -- refills came without asking and food was served fast. She was also very helpful when it came time to pay the bill and the table payment machines weren't working. The food was actually good as well. It may be the location that I went to this time around but it just confirms that I may indeed be back again for another lunch break. read more

the $10.99 old fashioned hamburger was so full of filler I couldn't even taste the beef. it was like a sawdust burger,thankfully it had cheese ,lettuce,tomato and purple onion on it to mask the taste. The French fries were just fine as was the service which was great. will I go back,yes I will but will keep away from any beef products and hopefully get the same server. read more

This review is long overdue. I don't typically rate chain restaurants, however, this restaurant deserves a rating. We decided to have my son's 4th birthday dinner at Chili's. I was expecting to have at least 15-20 people to join us. Well I called another location and they couldn't make a reservation. I called this location and the manager was very helpful!! I even received a text message an hour prior telling me the table would be ready. When were arrived everything was set up and ready to go. The ONLY concern was the tables were not together so we had three separate tables. Anyhow, I understood how this happened because of the area we were in. This was my third visit to this location and my second time having the same server. Her name is Erica. I distinctly remember her because we initially joked as I have a sister name Erika (spelled differently). Well, Erica, our server was ON POINT the entire time!! She did her thing. She got the orders right, she was professional, she was fast and friendly. What more can you ask for? She handled 16 people by herself and didn't miss a beat!! I thanked her again for her wonderful service. It was much appreciated! I love great service and because of Erica, I will go out my way to patronize this location!! Thanks again, Erica for making my son's birthday dinner seamless! read more

Pretty good as far as Chili's goes. I stopped in for lunch last week and service was fast and good. The guy who waited on us talked us through some of the new menu changes and kept the soda flowing! I had the lunch fajitas, which was served with my choice of a side and I got a salad. My colleague started with s salad, too, and got the chicken avocado sandwich. We enjoyed both! read more

Went for some lunch with two friends and my daughter. I waited over 5 - 10 minutes to even be taken care of at the host stand. 3 different servers looked right at me. Finally a girl came over, sat us in her section which was dirty. As I looked around the restaurant... most tables were dirty and not even busy. My server, which never told her name.. took our order and never seen her again. When it was time for the bill, we needed change, had to ask the other server for help because our server literally didn't do anything besides take our order. I WILL NEVER GO BACK! Whoever is the manager definitely needs to have a meeting with the staff, horrible experience. Also clean your tables. Just not a good look. read more

Eh, just another visit to Chili's. This time wasn't anything special. What I did think was cool was that this Chili's has a tablet at the table where you can reorder drinks after you have gotten your first round. Thought that was pretty nifty. Our server was in such a hurry and he didn't seem like he cared to put any effort in slowing down. It wasn't even that crazy busy in the restaurant. Food was decent. Everything I was expecting it to be. read more

This was the worse chili's I've ever been to. At 3 in the afternoon on a Friday this place was loud as a stadium! Kids screaming in the bar...tons of dirty plates. ..drunk patrons. I except that at 1am not 3 pm. And those kids running about in the bar and screaming without the parents or management doing anything. What a nightmare. I'll never go back read more

The wait time is a lie, checked in on the app 30 minutes before arriving, then got there and they said it's still 45 minutes more on top of the wait. Don't believe them when it says 15-25 minutes. Really disappointed in the Tampa chili's. On top of that, the hostess or step in hostess was rude as can be. This is not how a restaurant business should be run. I have never had such am awful encounter with an establishment. All my daughter wanted to do was get Chili's for her birthday but y'all and your wait time lies and rude staff really made for a disappointing time. read more

Always a great night at Chili's. We sat in the bar (which is first come/first serve) and the service was excellent. We were greeted promptly and our drinks came out quickly. Our food was great. I was happy they were playing some college games instead of just NFL. Altogether they offer a great experience. read more

1-food was delicious 2-server was good 3- good portions for the price 1-We got 2 vegan version of the black bean burger fajitas ( just means we didn't get it with cheese or sour cream), a black bean burger veganized with fries, and grilled cheese with fries, 2 diet sodas and two waters. We had fajitas left over bc we were sooo stuffed!!! Such big portions!! food is tasty! When traveling it's nice that they have the new burger so we have some more options!! Going again tonight -- might see if they can put the black bean patty can be put in place of the chicken on the salad!! That would be so good! 2- server was good, didn't have to call her over for anything. Meal was as we asked. She was pleasant and friendly. BONUS- this is the FIRST chili's we've been to that got the vegan part correct. And I travel state to state 3 months of the year... So this is a big deal! 3- holy shnikies---the fajita portions are HUGE!!!!!! For the price, I'd say it's a real deal! read more

Looking for places that where open after hurricane Irma hit and chilis looked promising. We came in around 11:30am and we where seated right away. They did inform us before we sat that they had a limited menu due to the hurricane. I was still very pleased with what they had to offer and started off with some chips and salsas. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. We ordered our food and it was out within 20 minutes or so. Bravo to chilis for still providing their customers with great service and convenient food during this time! read more

Very disappointed that Chili's cannot handle the overflow from a Bucs game being they are right by the stadium. They serve the drinks in a plastic cup and do not tell tell you the two for one is in the plastic cup. I would think that Chili's would want uniformity in there locations. The food was not hot either. However, that was alright as we expected that from Chili's. read more

they were good but gave someone a glass of lemonade but I got a plastic cup that had half the value and I think it was racism I hate this dang restaurant also the burger is huge and the fries too but it only got 2 tiny pieces of bacon come on you can do better than that read more

Very disappointed that this location is not better prepared for crowds before the bucs game. They were very unorganized and service was terribly slow. Large crowd of people standing around the bar, drinking and blocking walkways for the servers. They were very loud and made sitting a nearby booth very unpleasant. Skillet queso came out luke warm, twice. Will not be returning to this location in the near future. read more

Ordered the kids burger and chicken tenders for delivery. Both came with sides and drinks. The sides were a house salad and celery sticks. Both were fresh a and crisp. The tiny burgers were delicious and the perfect size. The chicken tenders were cold but once reheated were excellent. The price for both is very affordable as well as the delivery fee. Door dash was very fast. I will order again read more

Literally made a yelp account just to leave this review. WORST TO GO SERVICE EVER! I've done to-go multiple times at this specific location for convenience to my job & EVERY time has been terrible. From the multiple servers passing by and not smiling or greeting, to no one at the to-go stand ever. As an ex server I fully understand you may not be working to-go so it's not your priority but at the bare minimum speak or smile, and I can almost guarantee they never even alerted the to-go server anytime that they passed me because I stood there waiting for her for 5+ minutes and could hear a whole conversation & laughing taking place in the kitchen. On a to-go that's literally insane when I order in advance to not wait and I can see my food just sitting on the counter. I almost went behind it and grabbed it myself, because I paid already plus tip but then I'd be in the wrong. The food is good but literally wont be coming inside for a sit down if this is how to-gos operate. This location has put a terrible taste in my mouth and I don't think I'll be spending my money with chili's any further. I wish I could leave 0 stars and just this review but I guess I have to settle for 1. There's a lot of other options around, I'll be seeking lunch elsewhere. read more

great review and great energetic servers. food came out fast and tasted great. the place we got sat had lovely lighting and was very cool.

I have eaten at this Chili's since it opened about 20 years ago. A fave was the Oliver burger & Chili's really has some great fries. Of course I have eaten at other locations, but returned today to take a friend out for post Valentines late lunch. My friend ordered her fave: the old timer burger & fries....what a disaster. We got there a bit before 4PM, so late lunch, early dinner. The burger was a literal nightmare & an embarrassment for any establishment to serve. The bun had obviously been over flat topped too many times & was cared on the top & bottom inside bun. Even the top, of the top bum had grill marks on it. The preformed burger was dry & dead, we'll overcooked & inedible. There was 1 thin slice of romaine folded over for the lettuce. The pickles were fine. The "fresh tomato", was 2 slivers, that did not even equal a whole slice of tomato. The fries I had raved about, were limp, soggy, warm & inedible. I was so embarassed! I asked for the manager. Let me point out the restaurant was extremely slow at that time. When we arrived, there was no one to seat us, so we stood, twiddling our thumbs...starving. Waitress was very nice, but with only 2-3, tables did not get order right. The manager made good on the burger & fries & also removed them from my check. My personal problem, is he would not own that someone had a bad day & this must have slipped through. He made good on the meal, but would not admit the initial meal, NEVER, should have left the kitchen. This is where you usually have to applaud independents. They can only blame bad sales & food on themselves & not pass it off to the corporation! There are far too many superior burger restaurants in the Bay area, to put up with inferior food, unfit, in my opinion for human consumption. Yes the manager did right by redoing the dish ( not enthusiastically ) & comping the price. We were prepared for dessert & then a nice long Happy Hour to chat & catch up. After this & a manager not willing to admit a mistake.....I have better places to spend my money. What's a girl to do ? With high expectations & options in Tampa, never settle for less than at least good. read more

The food here is delicious of course, however most of it doesn't look anywhere close to the menu or like in the tv commercials. Especially with steak. Of course this type of false advertising seems to be expected everywhere these days. Their avocado sirloin steak looks 1 inch thick in the pictures and rectangular shaped. But what you really get is about 50% smaller and the sides are scarce too. You also barely get 3 tiny slices of avocado. In Contrast, some items are hard to fake, if your order corn on the cob, it meets all expectations, same size as pictures etc. Same for ribs, a half rack is actually good sized. Great margaritas here, definitely try the presidente margarita. Salt rimmed glass and you get about 2-3 glasses from 1 shaker. Service is excellent here, a great atmosphere and you can tell that they do try hard to do good work. Parking can be tough here especially on a saturday afternoon. I do recommend them, just know that for steak you will be robbed :( read more

Well this is some crazy shit!! Crazy meaning good. We in town to surprise my girlfriends father on his birthday and big daddy wanted to have a quick happy hour stop so why not here and damn what a good decision!! We sat at the bar because of course we here for drinks. We sit and we notice this little card that says the drinks that are included in happy hour and the bartender's name which was Mike. This dude was the shit I mean this dude was the truth!! He seemed like I knew him for years, when I ordered my drink he didn't flinch I usually have hard times with my favorite drink (long beach ice tea) nine outta ten bartenders dont know what the drink is but mike did. So after our first drink he brang us some nachos that was free then he gave us two shots of some new presedente tequila it was good and FREE!! I never been anywhere in miami that had nice and welcoming people like this place. Five stars!! read more
