“So good definitely recommend and corn so good fully loaded“

“First time in and it was amazing! Great food, drinks and service.“

“Always loved the Salsaritas on Chapman until their latest management took over. When he first took over, 2 tables had people outside (7 ppl) and 2 tables inside (6 ppl) when it became closing time. We were almost done but the other tables recently sat. This new manager locked the doors. The table next to us needed napkins and refills on their drinks and his response was....we are closed. He had no problem selling us food but didn't tell anyone we would be locked out. He was even rude about it. Especially when we asked about it. The people inside, they mopped around them even as much as near their feet. One group got up and left. So, I haven't been back there in months. Left a corporate voice mail instead. Went back tonight, and OMG same manager ever worse. I live 20 minutes from the store and asked if I could have everything separated as to not have soggy tacos when I got home. First 2 ppl said yes but 2nd person ignore it and piled my ingredients together. then had very small amount of chips so I asked for more, offered to pay for more. (the girl put about 6 more chips in the bag and I said, can I please have more? I will pay for them. Then my next ingredient was added on top of another from a girl who came from the back. I said, I wanted everything separated please, she just stared at me. I said, forget it. I a ll just go elsewhere. It was clear, that I was not going to get the food how I wanted. So, I left. However, manager walked up behind me as I was turning to leave.....I decided not to make a scene and called instead. he was cocky from the first 30 seconds like he was the last time I was there. While I was explaining he said: "Are you finished?" The banter started between us and his excuses were: Customers don't order this way. I am a customer and I did. She had just come from the back. I said she was the final nail for me when it was clear I would not get what I ordered. then he said. "Just finish, we are not upset you left! I don't have time to argue with you!" I used horrible language and hung up on him. I lost my cool...shouldn't have but this guy has been a jerk not once but twice. Even the employees aren't happy like they used to be. He will be happy to learn, I won't go back but others should know that he is not someone you want to have to address. Went for real Mexican food...service and food was amazing! Must add, manager also excused behavior by telling me about food costs.“

We encounter a variety of workers and every single one of them has been friendly and helpful and our order is always correct. The food is great each time - portions are always plentiful. I’m never disappointed each time we go.“

“Great food & great service“

“Spinach queso and the Margaritas!!!“

“Absolutely wonderful people at this Chili’s on Kingston Pike. Attentive and kind. My order was taken quickly and given quickly to me. Only a short wait, where the host made sure I had something to drink while I waited for my take out. Will be back soon. My southwestern egg rolls were perfect.“

“I so appreciate that this restaurant is celiac-friendly and offers to change their gloves. We’ve never had an issue with cross contamination. This is one of the only places in Knoxville my daughter can safely eat. Thank you for being (mostly) gluten free!“

“I don't do taco bell usually because they either mess up the order, the place is dirty, or that staff are unprofessional, however I will be going here anytime I want taco bell! The staff was very professional and welcoming, the food was awesome, and the building was spotless!“

“Excellent dude...F’er sure“

“We just left the Chili's on Clinton Hwy and I had to say something. There was a slight issue with part of our meal, but our server, Devon, took care of it. He was courteous, friendly, and did a phenomenal job taking care of my family and I.“

“Amazing atmosphere and food! This place will have you coming back all the time for lunch and dinner! Also they do so much for the community! Make sure when you are around to stop in and eat! I promise you won’t regret it!!“
