Chili's in Chula Vista

“Just so you know, we don’t dine at corporate, franchise, chain restaurants often. It’s probably mom & pop/independent eateries 90% & chain restaurants 10%. But two friends of mine independently told me that Chili’s has a pretty good burger! I looked Chili’s up and discovered they offered a “3 for me” $10.99 special which featured a smash burger so I figured the planets were aligning for me to check out their delicious burger. We dined here on a Thursday during happy hour & sat at the bar. Jesse, our bartender took great care of us. I ordered the 3 for me with their Big Smasher, fries, house salad, & unsweetened iced tea. The wife got their $16.99 classic 6oz sirloin steak w/ steamed broccoli & a house salad. She also got a premium margarita. My pals were right! Their smash burger was delicious (well portioned, tasted similar to a Big Mac but way better, fries were cooked crispy). The wife’s steak was cooked at the perfect temperature. Jesse’s service was on point. Our bar area wasn’t ready for new patrons as the counter was still not cleaned from the last customer. Restrooms were clean. All in all, for the price, you can’t beat Chili’s 3 for me!!! I’ll be back because you’d almost be paying the same price for some fast food combos, why not get full-service with a much better environment? Had our bartender not been great, I would’ve given Chili’s a solid 4 stars, but because Jesse took great care during our visit, they get a 5!“

“I usually go to the bar at chili's to get a few drinks and watch a game or two. I usually got to the East H st and more recently been going to Eastlakes. The bartenders mainly a lead I see (Andy) has been doing an amazing job, but they seem to have stock issue specifically for my favorite drinks.... and for more than a week which is not acceptable. Management get your stuff together and support these hard workers....“
