Chili’s

Came here on a whim with the family, after not coming for years due to the food not being good last time I came. Tonight the food was awesome! Our server Jessica was really good too. I ordered my sirloin steak rare and it was cooked PERFECT! I can defitnely say they have revamped their menu and we will be back more often!

Had a good time tonight at the chili’s in Kemah. We were seated quickly, and taken care of by a nice server. He dealt with our indecisiveness, and even helped us decide what to get. Surprisingly, the food came out pretty fast. I got the new spicy pasilla chicken from the lighter choices menu. Try it with the quinoa like it comes! My husband got the prime rib burrito and it was so big he almost couldn’t finish it. In all, not bad.

Great drinks; Start off will El Nino and Patron Margarita. Like sitting in the bar area. Plenty of TVs and the service is great. Been coming for years!

Food poisoning again. A year and half after our first food poisoning I decided to give them another chance. The family was super hungry and i really wanted a triple berry Margarita which was superly sweet and awful too. Never make that mistake again. We have returned in the year since for triple berry Margaritas and they were always awesome but stayed away from any actual food, not sure I will ever return even for drinks now.

The last two times I have been to this Chili’s I have had the same problem: some type of «hot» sauce is added to the food. The first time it was the salad had some sauce added to it that I specifically asked not be on the salad. Have you tried to eat a hot, spicy salad? The server took it back, but it seemed all that was done was the top lettuce scraped off and the «hot sauce» was left at the bottom of the plate. Tonight I ordered chicken fajitas and it came with some hot «chipotle butter» drizzled over the meat and grilled onions. I asked why it had the sauce on it and was told it has always come with that. I don’t like hot, spicy sauce and I have never had this «chipotle butter» on my fajitas before. I complained to the manager and they made the chicken again, but it was just a piece of grilled chicken without much flavor. They have hot sauce and spice on everything. This is a real deal breaker for me because I don’t like spicy… The waiter was helpful, but it took over 10 minutes before he was told that we were his table. Don’t know if we will return to Chili’s after two bad experiences in a row. We have been going to Chili’s since the original opened on Greenville Ave. in Dallas back in the day. Sad to have to say «adiós» to this old friend. It’s not me, it is you that has changed. :(

Sat for 10 minutes and no one came to the table to ask for our drink order or anything. It wasn’t even busy. So we left and had Hoagie Ranch where we were greeted and had out drink order taken before we even sat down. Don’t waste your time here. Go across the street instead.

Don’t understand the low rating but our experience on August 2^nd was great! We was starving after an afternoon at Kemah Boardwalk and figured let’s give Chili’s across the street a try.
Food was hot and fresh and the drinks was amazing. Our waitress was attentive and helpful. Get the strawberry/​mango frozen margarita — you will not regret it!

Chili’s went through some remodeling and menu changes. Some of the stuff they had is no longer on the menu and not sure why (mozzerella sticks???). The food is consistent, and I go here for lunch a lot because its right down the street from my office. Usually sit in the bar area and service is great.

I stopped here on my way home from a weekend trip to meet my family for lunch! It wasn’t super busy when we first got there but, the parking can be a little tight in the lot. They initially had us in a booth that was going to be way too tight for 6 adults and a baby so, we waited while they pushed together some other tables.
They have little «tablet» type consoles on the table that you can purchase and play games on or pay your bill on with a card. Personally I think that just gives people more of a reason to go out together and ignore each other; like most people do on their phones.
The service took forever and we were there for a good two hours. Obviously we picked a chain place because it would be quicker and I still had a 3.5 hour drive back to Austin. It took a long time to get our drinks, our appetizers came out quickly but not complete and our food took over 40 minutes after the appetizers. Either our server was overwhelmed or he was just not good at multitasking. We had to ask for refills and sat without refills for a while before we saw him again to ask.
The food: I mean it’s chili’s and it’s a chain so, I didn’t have big expectations at all because most of their stuff comes in pre-​made, frozen and definitely not made in house. The Southwestern egg rolls were actually decent as well as the dipping sauce. We decided to try their new White queso with spinach and I wouldn’t recommend it. They dropped it off without the chips so, it got cold by the time our chips came. Then It was like just melted cheese that I actually had to cut with a fork, with some creamy queso underneath (not a lot) and it had some pico, onions and guacamole on top. Also, the chips were super greasy. For my main meal I had the Fresh Mex Bowl with shrimp in it. I would say it was stars. It was supposed to be spicy but, I had to ask for some more sauce and he brought me a chipolte sauce which worked well but, the lettuce with the rice and all the other flavors just didn’t blend well. The shrimp were way over done and this made them chewy; also, they were flavorless!
After all this we waited for another 15 minutes before our server came back to get the card to pay the bill and bring our togo chicken fingers that my great aunt ordered.
I can’t say I am too surprised because you know what you are getting when you come to a chain like this but, I was hoping to be surprised!

Unilocal made me give a star, I don’t think they deserve a star!
After going to see the fireworks in Kemah we went to Chili’s, the worst mistake ever!!!
We could tell the server wasn’t happy we came in and sat at his table, no greeting, no hello… it was more like“what can I get ya to drink“
He didn’t even give us his name, I ordered a margarita, it was the kind in a shaker, I thought he was supposed to pour it for me, NOPE I was wrong!
He pretty much slammed it down and walked away!!!
We ordered our food, I got a guacamole burger with roasted jalapeños grilled onions and peppers, well what I got was a burger with a small spoonful of guacamole with a few little red specks of red pepper, no roasted jalapeños, no onions, nothing!!!
Now the roasted jalapeños, that’s the reason I ordered the burger to begin with, they are my favorite!!!
When I brought this to my servers attention, he said oh ok I’ll fix it, as he walked away rolling his eyes!
He brought me back the same burger with a side of pickled jalapeños!!! WHAT??? Pickled is a far cry from roasted!!!
Needless to say I didn’t eat dinner! Thanks for nothing!!!
Don’t eat here, it’s horrible!!!

This location is worthless, I called for a ToGo order and I was put on hold for 8 min. I called again and person on the phone said they were busy, that’s a damn lie that place is never busy. Oh and there’s no such thing as a non smoking section, the entire place smells of cigarettes.

Waiter was rude as hell and it was mid day really slow. Had an attitude as if the place was mayhem!

This place was terrible. The waiter lost our order and when we finally got our food anything fried tasted like bad grease.

The food was fantastic, and the servers were awesome! Why the one star? They allow smoking throughout the restaurant and I just can’t enjoy my food when I’m choking on smoke.

Terrible service. I give no stars. I tried calling for a to go order and I was on hold for 25 minutes. Called again and it was the same thing. Then my friend called they put her on hold for a long time and finally answered her phone call. They were not polite at all, I felt uncomfortable on the phone as if I was bothering them to get some food.

I normally like Chili’s and while the food was good it all had an after taste of cigarette. I was very uncomfortable having my young kids in that place. Next time you go to a Chili’s try the flatbread, hold the ash and festering smoker’s lung.

Drinks were great… Platinum Ritas rock. Great ribs and they don’t cost an arm and a leg. My espousa enjoyed Santa Fe Chicken Quesadilla. We had a sharp waiter who got the meal out hot and on time. Recommended! 4 stars

I’m a big fan of Chilis sirloin steak, pretty good for a 11 $ steak. I enjoy my steak rare & they normally cook it right. I went there this evening, told the host table for 1 he asked me if I’d like sit in bar area. I saw there was a football game on so I said yes. I sat for quit some time but no one came over, I went back to host & told him, he said he’d grab a waiter, I told him it was to smoky anyway so I’d sit in normal seat. I guess there wasn’t enough servers cause it took forever then the girl that helped me wasn’t even my waitress. I ordered my steak rare & it was over cooked. The remade it correctly & the manager apologized. I hope they get it together because I normally like it. But it’s nice they corrected it.

I don’t know how this or any otger chili’s restaurant stays in business. I have $$ left on a gift card I’d gladly give away.

Well it is a Chili’s so you know what you are getting food wise. This Chili’s is one of the best ones I have been to. The staff is really friendly and top notch. Happy Hour in the bar is pretty much all the time and the bartenders are great. If you go often you will see a lot of the same folks in the bar so it has a nice Cheers kind of vibe. Yes they do allow smoking in the bar but I have rarely had too many smokers in there. Happy hour in the bar gets you free chips and salsa if you ask and I have to say these are some great chips and salsa. Really they are better than many mexican places I visit. My go to meal here is to split a Triple dipper with my wife. Great value and plenty of food for 2.
