What People Are Saying About Chili's Grill & Bar

Chili's Grill & Bar is as bold and flavorful as the food it serves. The energetic, fun atmosphere makes it the perfect spot for a night out with friends, or a meal for the entire family. Just make sure you bring your appetite. A Taste of the Menu If you're searching for all the flavors you love, look no further. Chili's food speaks for itself. Not literally, of course. That would just be weird. But really, the menu is packed with signature dishes like Fire-Grilled Quesadillas, triple-basted Baby Back Ribs (hum jingle here), not to mention the Presidente Margarita. No matter what you…

In Short – Festive decor of colorfully tiled tables, vintage photographs and sunny Southwestern accents welcomes an all-ages crowd at this informal hangout. Youngsters and their parents pile into dining room booths; casual business types toss back margaritas and watch televised sports at the bar. The menu features mild versions of Lone Star state favorites, from double-basted baby back ribs and steak fajitas to red-beef chili and deep-fried onions.
Misleading Call-Ahead
by tarliman at Citysearch
We called ahead to Chili's in Evanston at 6 pm, and were told that we could be put on the call-ahead list for a table at 7. We arrived at 6:30, checked in, and got our pager. At 7, I asked the hostess if our table was ready. She informed me that the call-ahead list was not in fact a reservation, and that it guaranteed nothing. We would just have to wait for a table with everyone else. Why does Chili's have a call-ahead list, that is presented as a reservation system, when in fact the call-ahead is meaningless, and gives a false impression? We waited until 7:30, at which point, having spent an hour waiting for a table when the hostess was telling everyone else that the wait time was 30 minutes, we left and went to Noodles and Company. I doubt I'll ever go to a Chili's again. If they have that much of a lack of having their act together at the front end, what expectations could I reasonably have of service at the table, order accuracy, or food quality?
- Pros: Decent margaritas
- Cons: Lousy service
good service, what you'd expect for a chain for food. bartender doesnt know anything!

I generally like chili's. but, the burgers were more expensive than wolfgang pucks! also, the bartender didnt know what a scotch was; she clearly had just been hired for her looks. she did know about the food though, and was helpful when i told her i was a steak guy. also, they have sound on for sports in the bar, which was a plus for me, but some business woman left because it was too loud for her.
- Pros: decent food and margaritas, good sports
- Cons: no bar knowledge
