Chili’s Grill & Bar

Good food, cold beer, good price, that’s all! That’s enough!!! Let’s get drunk!
Bring all hot friends!

The food and the service were very good. The problem was they have these kirsocks on the tables you can border from. Well you can aslo play a game on it. when I got my bill it had a $ 1.95 table entertainment charge on it for the game I played. It said NOTHING about having to pay for the game on the kirsock. Food was good but I will never go back again.

Have only utilized ‘Chilis To Go’, but the food has always been hot and ready at time of pickup with the contents exactly matching the order

I think Chilis is fine! It’s a great spotf for tex-​mex style food. I’ve eaten here on after school events, get togethers, family outings, you name it. Can’t really say I’ve ever had a bad time. I love the bang for the buck and it’s decent quality stuff! I highly recommend getting their molten chocolate lava cake. That is to die for.

Went in to get take out. The take out area is closed at 345 on a Saturday so there is a sign saying to go to the bar to pick up. The bar is PACKED and you literally can’t even get by! Can’t get to bartender because they are so busy! Finally make my way to a hostess and explain I can’t get the take out etc to which she replies well I don’t know what to do because take out is closed! Thanks captain obvious!!! Guess they can keep it.

Usually I like Chilis they have a large menu, so when I heard they got a new menu I was eager to try. Service was great, the hostess and waitress were very nice and accommodating. The food also looked and tasted delicious but I couldn’t even finish half my meal before I got a horrible stomach ache. On the drive home which is like 10 min away my boyfriend suddenly didn’t feel good. It progressed until we both started throwing up for hours. I don’t know what happened but I think I’ll think twice before I eat here again.

Food at Chili’s has improved significantly. I eat here and get takeout occasionally when at work. I would recommend eating here more than getting take out. Once I ordered 3 meals for my coworkers and I, and I ended up waiting 20 minutes inside the restaurant for them to figure it out. I was halfway back to my office when I realized that there were no drinks, so I had to turn around. Then they put the drinks in kiddie cups, when the menu says 32 oz. Most of the time, this place is decent! I like the avocado bacon chicken sandwich.

My new go-​to restaurant. It’s the 99 with better drinks and more food options. Always consistent.
Great lunch time deals and happy hour food deals.

Really good food. The fried pickles were really yummy. The service is good too. Would come back.

Stopped in at the Reading Chili’s for a «quick» dinner after a Home Depot run. We have visited the Wilmington location several times and always have a good experience. Not so at Reading and we will NOT be going back to this one. We only ordered entrees and water but it took nearly 90 minutes to get in and out of there. The server finally showed up after about 25 minutes after we ordered to explain that «the kitchen screwed up» by making one of our meals with chicken rather than the requested steak, so they were starting that meal over again. Then another 15 minutes later he came by to say he had talked with his manager and they were going to take that meal off the bill because it was taking so long. Fine. But when the food finally came, both meals were room temperature, not even warm, and the entrée that was topped with steak (a very meager portion) also had 2 chunks of chicken. Clearly they had just stripped off the chicken … most of it anyway … and let it sit while waiting for the steak to cook. The other meal wasn’t even under a heat lamp, which is not ideal anyway. We then had trouble flagging down the waiter for drink refills, although the place was nearly empty so no idea what he was doing. The floor throughout the dining room was filthy. They did comp the meal as they said, but between the bad service, disappointing food and lack of cleanliness we will take our business elsewhere in the future.

Went to a Chili’s about two months ago in another town and was about to give up! Went to this one with my boyfriend for date night and it was awesome!!!
Chili’s re-​newed their menu and it’s amazing! The waiter was awesome as was the food! They also have a new trivia game at every table that’s really fun! I’d definitely go back.

Poorest quality Chili’s I’ve ever been to in my life. Having been to another Chili’s just two weeks ago in different location, you can clearly see that this one in Reading is seriously ruining the dining experience for the restaurant chain. They skimped on the portions of both the appetizers and main dishes. Everything tasted disgusting and metallic, most of the food was barely cooked. I even ordered the same exact meal as I normally get at Chili’s and it was less than half the amount of food. Steak in the fajitas came out bloody raw and had to be sent back. Completely unsatisfied with my experience here and felt sick after eating the food… almost makes me want to never go to a Chili’s again.

Great food, terrible service. The waitress my table had tonight was very unprofessional and rude.

I’ve been to Chili’s all over the country, usually only if where I am traveling to has no local options.
Should that be the case for visiting this Reading location you will get a meal for a good value (only hotel in walking distance is the Clarion Inn). They are in range of Über too.
For beer they offer a dozen beers in 16 or 22 Oz glasses, only two local beers — — this really is a Bud or Coors light kinda place.
On this visit I chose their new soft tacos. You can choose a combination, in my case I chose Pork, Shrimp, and Tilapia.
The shrimp and pork are sure bets. Also the Pico de Gallo (fresh salsa) is what made these Tacos. As for negatives the fish was a bit watery. Also the accompanying rice was undercooked and dry with no seasoning. The black beans were alright and had some spice.
Beer is cheap, 3.29 for 22oz makes it the cheapest bar in the area. But it does close early and I have heard from others that they do a 2 – 3 drink max as corporate policy.

Filthy. If it were possible to give less than 1 star, I would. This is not your typical Chili’s where you can grab some sort of grub in a sit down atmosphere, it’s a disaster of a place where apathetic service meets frozen food and serves it up cold in a dirty dining room.

So tell me why this makes sense it’s February 6^th 12 degrees out and this god damn restaurant has the air conditioner on why? I’ve been eating here for years and they’ve never had the heat on.

Did I say competitive pricing in my previous review?
I want there last night. I have not been there in years. Let me tell you, I have not missed much. I spend almost 30 dollars for food and drinks just on myself. That would have been fine in most situations. But when the steak with avocado is only a six oz steak, avocado is extra, the nachos only have like 10 on the plate with cheese, and you get 2 shorties with a beer selection that is small and not that great, you’ve spend of few dollars more than you should have. Maybe the fajita’s are still good, but the price and quality is rather disappointing.
I don’t know what to say only that there are so many other good bar and grills around. This place used to be at the top of the list, but not anymore. Thank god this place has a good location or it probably would be out of business compared to some of the other places around. Three stars is ok overall, but when you consider places like Buffalo Wild Wings with their big screens and Yard House with their beer selection, who really cares about Chili’s?

I have eaten at a Chili’s before, so I new what to expect, however, this time the food and drink REALLY was under par. I ordered chicken fajitas there was about 1\3 of a single green pepper on the skilllet, and that was all for the veggies. The picture on the menu showed an abundance of green and red peppers, onions and meat; mine however was just sad. My boyfriend ordered a margarita, and it was ALL sweet and sour mix– nothing else, it was disgusting, we actually sent it back and I never do that. The only positive about the visit was our waitress was friendly.

I tend to look for Chili’s in most cities I visit, especially if I’m feeling lazy and want to grab something to go really fast.
My hotel was in the next town over, and I was hungry. Having been to most of the places around that area, I was in the mood for something different. Looked up this place on Google, and even used their website to place my order.
Ordered the 6oz sirloin, medium well, with an order of shrimp, side of mushrooms and loaded mashed potatoes. Usually comes to $ 20 or so. The site said it’d be ready in about 15 – 20 minutes, more than enough time to drive over there.
It was ready by the time I got there. The girl at the station was bubbly and polite, which was nice.
The food itself was decent. The steak was still juicy and I just love shrimp… they weren’t overcooked!
Would probably stop in again.

My husband doesn’t like chain restaurants, but Chili’s is okay with him. I think he likes the tall beers and margaritas. But enough about him.
I usually come in for lunch, although I have had more than a few diners here too. The lunch specials are great and the food is better than average. The servers are attentive and helpful when it comes to ingredients and how things are prepared.
One time I wanted to try the cookie in a skillet dessert but asked if I could get it crispy instead of chewy and was informed that since they microwave the cookie, there is really no way to make it crispy. I said that was fine, but a minute later, the server was back to say they were going to try it in the oven. Well, she was back a few minutes later to tell me that it hadn’t gone well, so they were going to just prepare one the usual way, which turned out to be fine. I did appreciate everyone trying to get me something the way I requested it, and had to laugh at the updates.
I also enjoy the Presidente Margarita and enjoy watching the servers shake-​shake-​shake my margarita (extra points for panache!).
My favorites are the Quesadilla Explosion Salad and the chicken tortilla soup. The burgers are decent but stay away from the chicken strips and many of the fried things as they come out super greasy. Oh, I almost forgot my most favorite thing — the Southwest Eggrolls are awesome! Sure, maybe a little greasy, but they are served with a lovely ranch-​y dipping sauce and heartburn be damned, they are yummy!
Glasses for water and soda are large so you don’t have to pester your server for refills very often, but refills are free.
What else to say? I guess that I have dined at quite a few Chili’s and found them to be pretty generic. The extra star for this review is for the staff at the Reading location.
