“Great chicken fingers!!! But if someone in charge could please fix the menu on DoorDash for the mozzarella sticks? It says it comes with marinara sauce, but then makes you select from a list of sauces and marinara is not a choice. So one time I just picked a different sauce and got that sauce and not the marinara and the other time I picked no sauce and didn’t get anything. So if marinara sauce could be added to the sauce selection so there’s no confusion that would be wonderful.“

“Annabelle provided exceptional service during our visit to Chili’s. She was the most attentive server we’ve had in a long time, ensuring our drinks never went empty and tending to everything we needed with a great attitude. Her efficiency and friendliness made our dining experience outstanding. More servers should be like Annabelle—she is a valuable employee, and Chili’s should do whatever it takes to keep her happy. Excellent service like hers is rare these days, and it truly enhances the overall experience. The food was also excellent, making for an all-around great visit.
