“Food was amazing. I got the chimichanga. My daughter got the chicken quesadilla and fries. Husband got enchiladas. Drinks were tasty. The bunny special looked super cool and would be worth the price if you're into taking photos of cool menu items. A bit pricy for my taste, but cute.“

“Almost always a consistently good and reasonably priced experience.Parking: Plan to walk some unless you are patient to wait for a spot closer that will appear as patrons come and go.Kid-friendliness: A nice place to take a youngster that is old enough to roll with things being different from routine. The "Moo Moo Mr. Cow" burrito is a welcoming example.Wheelchair accessibility: We don't have personal experience with wheelchair access but it appears that it could work but with some struggle due to crowded and narrow aisles. The ordering and checkout space might also require patience to deal with.“

Love the big open doors and festive atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Lots of parking.“

“One of the first things I said upon coming to this Chili's is that "It's like Applebee's but actually good." This was in reference to the Applebee's at Poyner Place, across the road from the Town Center Mall complex, where Chili's is.Service was great, they didn't seem to have any issues with how late we had arrived (it was still a couple hours before closing, but well after any activity.)The food was great as well. I had the Smokehouse Combo with a half rack of ribs and the chicken ranch quesadilla, the ribs were good, unlike the ribs at a certain other establishment I have already mentioned. The quesadilla was also very good.I would comment on prices being high, but high prices aren't a problem specific to this restaurant. The food is at least more worth the price than at other restaurants.My suggestion is that if you are looking to go to a bar and grill, between the two near Town Center Mall, pick Chili's.“
