There was a bday scheduled there that day and they invited us to partake. Treated as family and will probably make this the preferred meet up spot when I come together with friends from out of town. It's halfway between our homes and 3 pool tables available with slayer on the jukebox“

“I've lost track of how many times we stopped here. The drinks are ridiculously cheap and the bartenders are great. We never sit with empty glasses. We like to go when its quieter on Sundays, but even durning the weekend when it was really crowded we still found seats at the bar. They always have all the games on, including horse racing. This is one of our faves.“

The staff were very accommodating and helped us put together a menu of shareable items from their appetizers, which worked really well for the group. They made the whole experience easy and enjoyable, and it was a great choice for a birthday celebration. We would definitely come back.“

Our waitress, Piper was phenomenal, .... friendly, accommodating, and very attentive. The food was perfectly portioned and all tasted great. The soft pretzel was wonderful.

“Very pleasant, great staff, excellent manager and the food is very good. They seem to maintain control over liquor sales in a part of Main Street at the intersection of Chapel which seems to be the worst in the City. The only thing seems to be the kitchen staff which seems very unfriendly. Have known the owner since day 1 when Gus asked me to help him put.“

The ribs were flavorful and cooked just right, the fries were crispy, and the honey mustard was the perfect addition. The mango tea was refreshing and went really well with the meal. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back again. Highly recommend Chili’s if you’re looking for a good meal and a great dining experience!“
