Always love going to Chili’s for their margarita of the month!!! Also the triple dipper is a classic and way more than enough for 2 meals!! I always get the egg rolls, chicken crispers but can change things up if I ever get tired of things. They also have specials where for ~$10.99 you can get chips & salsa, a burger + slides and add the margarita for $6!! A steal for sure with the amount of food we got.

Brynn is hands down one of the best servers I’ve ever had. She went above and beyond for us the entire time. She was super friendly, attentive, and had a smile on her face even while dealing with some seriously disrespectful tables around her. You could tell she genuinely cared about giving great service no matter what. Chili’s is lucky to have her. She’s easily the definition of professionalism and positivity.

The service, and the food is hit or miss. Honestly I wish it was more consistent. However this time our server was really kind, and even helped us sing happy birthday to my coworker. He was very attentive and friendly. Loved the burger, fries, and strawberry lemonade.

My fiance and I visited Athens and made sure to visit Chili's. We are both fans but this location is now our favorite. Food and service were excellent. Burgers and appetizers were perfectly made and tasted amazing. We will definitely stop here whenever we are in town.

My daughter was ordering off the kids' menu and asked for a lemonade. The server asked her if she wanted it in the small cup or if she'd prefer a bigger cup, and my daughter, wanting to feel older and cool, said shyly with a smile, "a bigger cup is fine." When we went to pay the bill, the server had charged us $3.19 for an adult lemonade, and when I showed her the kids' menu clearly says the entree includes a side and a drink, the server stood arguing that she put the kids' drink in a bigger cup. I tried to reason with her that (1) we never agreed to pay more, (2) the kids' drink comes with free refills so size of cup doesn't even matter, and (3) that when my daughter ordered the chicken tenders, the server asked if fries were OK as a side, but she never asked what kids' drink she wanted, all proved that the server knew we ordered a kids' drink. Nothing worked until I finally said I would just take the drink charge out of the tip. Only then did she finally agree to ask a manager to clear the charge. Afterwards, in the car, my daughter was mortified, saying "Dad, I never would have said 'big cup' if I knew she would try to charge you extra for it!" I just told her, "I know, no reasonable person ever would have thought she'd try to charge us." I'm not sure if it was just the server trying to scam us for a bigger bill and therefore tip, or if it's actually the restaurant ownership/management encouraging it, since they also make a higher profit margin with the scam, and since the server seemed so comfortable with arguing for her original extra charge. Either way, I now think of Chili's as a scam restaurant, and I won't be back. Judging by response rate on other Google reviews, the owner will reply to this post, so others will be able to tell how the owners truly feel about the scam.

When we arrived to the restaurant things were great. I ordered watermelon lemonade it was terrible. We ordered I informed the waitress I was allergic to shrimp. And I let her know my allergy was severe. I ordered the fajita with steak and chicken. The steak was burned to a crisp. The chicken peppers and onions were ice cold. When I asked could it be done over I was told it would be to much trouble because of my allergy.

I love their cheesy and meaty quesadillas, taste is perfect and not salty, can be eaten alone or with the dipping sauce.

When I order the triple dipper to go, I'm really hoping that all three items will taste the same. They made that happen! Seriously? Is this how corporate thinks things should be served to-go or is this just a one off? Either way it's terrible. It's nowhere near what I expect in store so why should I accept it to be so bad to-go? Get it together Chilis!!!!!!

FOR REAL?! included is a photo of what I ordered vs what I got- absolutely horrible. How does expo let this pass?? No buffalo sauce, lettuce is brown and slimy, and the amount of ranch put on the bun is pathetic. I will definitely be reaching out to the manager to get this corrected. The only reason this location stays open is because it’s the only one around. Otherwise- its doors would be closed. Do better.

I’ve always liked this location but on 5/20/2025 my burger was basically raw.
