Chili’s Grill & Bar

Compared to other locations, this Chili’s is great! When I’m indecisive on what to have for lunch or dinner, Chilis is always a good option. You can never go wrong! The $ 35 dinner for 2 is such a good deal. The drinks are OK, but the service is always A+! The only thing that I don’t like, is how they change the dessert menu so often! (I know it’s a company-​wide change, so it’s not their fault). The Oreo and cinnamon lava cakes are delicious! Just a matter of going when they’re on the menu!

It’s Chili’s — a chain eh — what do we expect? Service is solid. Good tvs for game watching. Food is basic chain type food. Loud, casual, it’s Chili’s, come on now.

Took awhile to get my Togo order only because a delivery service called before me but I was still acknowledged the entire time. Luke helped me out and was so helpful and attentive to what I needed with my order. He definitely needs a raise! It’s nice to get great customer service so I asked for his name and he introduced himself shook my hand and before I could say anything he addressed me by my name from when I called in.

Came here and ordered the Margerita Grilled Chicken, the beans and rice were so good but the chicken was a little slimy and the manager walked by and asked if I would like something else, I declined because I was full already. And he took it off my bill, that was so nice of him to do considering I ate everything else! :)

So I eat whole 30 so eating out is always unique experience when I am with family that does not eat whole 30.
It was a little packed had to wait about 15 min for a table. We sat down waited about 20 min to get drinks we ordered my daughter ordered two appetizers. My mom ordered a steak medium rare. I ordered a steak plain with double broccoli and added avocado. When the first steak arrived it and the half of avocado was covered in some kind of pepper seasoning mix. So I asked server for a small plate and then sent it back asking again for them to be plane. I continued to eat the two servings of steamed broccoli. Waiting another 25 minutes for the correct steak. My moms was not cooked all the way it was almost raw in the middle. Then mine came back. With two little slices of avocado and this time was raw in the first cut. When the server asked if everything was alright I just asked for a container because I would just let it see a couple minutes more, she told me she could take it back. I said I did not want to wait another 25 min. Then the manager came and said that he was sorry. I explained that I just wanted to go home, the first steak was covered in seasoning and the second was still dripping blood. So I will not recommend going back.

First off we sat down and couldn’t help but to notice how filthy the salt and pepper shakers were from inside and out. They need to do something about them because I don’t think that would fly with the health department.
Secondly, our waitress never returned with our refill. She was standing by the register with the refill but never brought it to the table.
Lastly, we ordered a chocolate molten cake and it never got to our table. We asked the waitress to cancel our order and that took another 10 minutes. We just did our math and left the amount that belonged to our tab. Horrible service and it wasn’t even busy!!!
Please don’t review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you’re connected in any way to the owner or employees.

Terrible service. No one ever checks on you. Took 15 minutes for someone to get our drink order. Only came here because someone gave us a gift card. Definitely won’t come back.

This was my first time at this location. I usually go to the one in Manhattan Beach because it’s the closest and I don’t ever want Chili’s enough to go too far out of the way. I didn’t even know this one existed until my friend mentioned it. It’s a nice location and nicely lit. Our server was very nice and he made us feel very welcome and comfortable. At one point my friend told me that the waiter was flirting with me, and I told him that I was kinda getting that feeling too. I wasn’t complaining though, any time I can feel attractive is a good time! I have no idea if that what was happening but it felt like it and it was appreciated. It’s possible that he just has that type of personality, very jovial and personable. He made our time there very enjoyable. I hate that I can’t remember his name .
Besides the server, the food came quick and was up to Chili’s standards. It would be worth coming back to this location just to enjoy the laid back vibe.

Not sure why this place is still open. Our service was ok this past weekend but our biggest issue is the food here. The food is just processed junk that they heat up in the microwave. My husband and I both went for a steak and they both tasted horrible. They tasted like they are frozen and heated up in the microwave. The mashed potatoes that my husband had were from a box for sure and they were disgusting. The vegetables were horrible and the broccoli was frozen and microwaved and overcooked.
My child’s chicken nuggets were probably the best item we received and those were horrible as well. We also got chips and guac and salsa and it was the most disgusting chips and guac we have ever had. The chips were paper thin, I can’t even guarantee that they were tortilla chips versus paper. The guacamole is from a box and not fresh and the salsa is yucky and straight from a jar!
Biggest waste of time and money and we will never go to another Chili’s after this experience.

Lauri in the bar was so very helpful! She came over with a huge smile on and continued to give us exceptional service! She was friendly, and really took great care of us! She had other tables but treated us like we were the only ones there! I don’t haven’t been to chilies in years but she has restored my faith in the restaurant! There were three of us and she let us do the 2 for 20 deal enough food for us all! We will be back only for Lauri though.

Omg my Ancho salmon with spicy citrus Chile sauce was amazing. Seared shrimps with loaded mashed potatoes and broccoli, absolutely the bomb. My waitress Laurie is really cool and down to earth. She will keep you smiling.

Chili’s, you need to get your act together. The service was bad from the waitress with loops in her ears. Things started out pretty good but then long waits, I am talking like 15 minutes before returning. She didn’t check on things. She didn’t bring the soup or salad before the food. We had to ask.
Let’s back the chili pepper up a bit. Even when we got seated the first lady that took us to the table didn’t even wait for us to sit down. The reason why I say that is the seat was dirty with food and crumbs.
I will give them credit, the cup if chili was actually good. They did bring an extra dressing for the salad. The chili did have a lot if cheese grated on top. Bravo.
The plate that the ribs were served on was dirty with stuck on cilantro and the edge was greasy or burnt cheese. Now that I think about it my fork was dirty. The salad was not crisp. It looked like it was old. The corn on the cob was just plain cold. It looks all smashed, mushy, and dry to boot. She took my straw when bringing a new glass with a refill. The new smoked chicken burrito was so plain I couldn’t taste any of the advertised sauce. The chicken was just so soft I wondered how it was supposed to be grilled. I had to put my chili on the burrito to spice it up. I tried to ask for hot sauce but the server did not return for so long. Once again a long wait for the bill. I wanted to get out of there! Thank god we had exact change for the check and tip because she did not come back.

This place is horrible. Service sucks here, they sat us down and literally forgot about us until we had to say something. This place is a joke! DO NOT EAT HERE!!!

Ordered to-​go from here and it was horrible the fries were stale, the food was burnt and the ice cream was melted!
This is a warning for people who order to go
Never making that mistake again

I enjoyed the chicken breast plate. Very tasty and cooked to perfection. The pasta plate was also very delicious. I used the dinner for two special for $ 35 and this is a great deal. Loved the fried pickles and of course the Molten Chocolate Cake!
The server was great!

I don’t really like posting bad reviews online and be a reason of screwing someone’s business. I hope this review will get you guys informed that you don’r have any kind of fresh and good food. Non of our plates was good.
We ordered chicken buffalo wings «as an appetizer», mac & cheese «kids menu», combo plat «salmon & chicken breast», and past Alfredo with shrimp.
Worst food ever. it was the first and last time we ‘re going to this place. Food was so bad. with all respect to the server but she got nothing to do other than working on that horrible place.
No wonder why they really have bad reviews on Unilocal.Even the table next to us was asking the server to see the manager.

My Wife Got violently ill from a burger here
I would steer clear from this chilies as they made my wife sick with their food. She’s been sick all day and evening now from the bacon burger.
We called them to report it and the manager actually argued with her on whether or not she got sick from their food (it’s all she ate unfortunately). Stay far away from this Chilis.

Chili’s Grill & Bar is a classic place to eat. Chili’s Grill & Bar as appetizers we ordered the triple deeper southwestern egg rolls Chipotle chicken Krispers and the mouth watering Burger bites… So delicious. To drink ordered the presidente Margaritas. For our meal we got the spicy Shrimp tacos very light and delicious.
The location is in Torrance, next to Walmart and Subway.
Parking: Can be a struggle.
Inside: organize and clean.
Customer service is always excellent, very polite, helpful, and always smiling this place definitely gets an A+++++
I will definitely will be coming back

Standard Chili’s fare, but with slow service. I’ve ordered steaks here and had then cooked exactly to my specifications with no trouble. Appetizers and desserts were also great.
The service is slow, however, which really detracts from the dining experience. Things like drink refills require lots of looking around for your server, who often disappears after delivering your food.

My experience at this Chili’s has been rather hit-​and-​miss. The first time I went was for lunch on a Sunday; the eatery wasn’t crowded and we experienced prompt service and great food. When I went once on a Saturday night for dinner, the restaurant was packed and service was a bit slower, but it wasn’t bad. However, on a different Saturday when I went for dinner with a group of people, we experienced the worst service ever — I don’t think we even left a tip that night. Our waitress filled one of our water glasses only halfway because she ran out of water in her pitcher … and she didn’t return! We had to flag her down to ask for more water (as well as for our other needs). Not cool.
However, I have to say that the food quality has been consistent at this location, so though I don’t know what to expect now when it comes to service, I can pretty much be safe that my usual entrees and desserts will be good.
Here are some of my favorites when it comes to ordering at Chili’s:
«Chocolate Chip Cookie Skillet»: This Pizookie knock-​off was delicious, and I usually opt for this sweet treat whenever I need a break from my usual «Molten Cake» order. This dessert features a soft, warm, chocolate chip cookie fresh out of the oven – served in one of those iron skillets – and it’s topped with vanilla ice cream and hot fudge. I think I’ve had a peanut butter version of this cookie before, which was amazing, but the chocolate chip version is still good. The cookies I’ve received have always been soft and tender, pairing perfectly with the luscious vanilla ice cream and warm hot fudge.
«Buffalo Chicken Ranch Sandwich»: If I’m in the mood to order a sandwich at Chili’s, I go for this savory combo. The «Buffalo Chicken Ranch Sandwich» features crispy chicken (same as the chicken in the «Boneless Buffalo Chicken Salad») topped with spicy Buffalo sauce, a fresh-​sliced tomato, lettuce and the eatery’s homemade ranch dressing. The sandwich is served with French Fries; I love the extra saltiness the fries at Chili’s seem to have. I can only handle mildly spicy dishes, so this sandwich was pushing it for me (I had to drink lots of water during/​after my meal), but I enjoyed it nonetheless!
«Seasonal Desserts»: Be on the lookout for current, seasonal offerings at Chili’s, because some of these limited-​time specials have been some of my favorites. The «Chocolate Peanut Butter Molten» in particular is noteworthy – I wish it were a regular on the restaurant menu. It’s probably my favorite molten. This «Chocolate Peanut Butter Molten» featured a moist peanut butter-​chocolate molten cake topped with vanilla ice cream and chocolate and caramel sauce drizzles. Generous chunks of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups – my favorite candy – topped off this dessert. And, of course, a melted peanut butter center was at the cake’s core. This is simply chocolate-​peanut butter heaven.
«Southwestern Mac ‘n’ Cheese»: Though this dish is just a side, it might be worth substituting for one of the other sides in your entrée (slight extra fee) or just ordering on the side if you’re a serious mac ‘n cheese lover. This dish is definitely heavy on the cheese (the macaroni itself is cheesy, with the cheese oozing out of every bite) and the breadcrumbs on top add extra savoriness. It’s one of my favorite mac ‘n cheeses.
«Boneless Buffalo Chicken Salad»: This salad is my go-​to entrée at Chili’s, as it’s one of my favorite salads ever. It features a medley of wild greens (spring mix), crispy boneless chicken tossed in the eatery’s spicy Buffalo sauce, applewood smoked bacon, bleu cheese crumbles, homemade pico de gallo, crispy tortilla strips and homemade ranch dressing. I always get this salad without pico and with extra bleu cheese crumbles (I love my cheese). I also ask for the dressing on the side (I’ve found that, if you do, you’ll sometimes end up with more dressing). I’ve noticed also that, in recent years, the greens in this salad are now a spring mix/​wild greens … and though they aren’t my favorite (I don’t like the bitter purple lettuce), the toppings on this salad – the strongly flavored bleu cheese with the mildly spicy boneless chicken strips – are worth it.
«Molten Chocolate Cake»: When there isn’t a seasonal «Molten Cake» that I want to try, this «Molten Chocolate Cake» always gets my dessert vote. It features a moist, warm chocolate cake with a melted chocolate center and is topped with vanilla ice cream surrounded by a thin chocolate shell. The contradicting mixtures in this one dessert make it so fun (and challenging) to eat. I always enjoy sopping up the cake pieces in the gooey chocolate mixture oozing out from the center, while trying to simultaneously eat the ice cream and hard chocolate topping without the ice cream melting completely because of the cake’s warmth!
