| - This is the closest place to my office that has soup, so for the last 4 weeks while I have had a cold that I cannot get rid of, we went back to this Chili's for soup and liquor for lunch.
A little over a year ago, I vowed to never return, but they seem to have gotten their shit together and we actually went enough over the past few weeks that the wait staff in the bar area of seating recognizes us when we come in (we're awfully cute and personable, plus good tippers - so I understand why we are memorable). They have a revamped menu and while a lot of the old standards are there, they have some new items too. I *really* like the option to turn any burger into a turkey burger (or veggie, or 2 thin beef patties) and had that twice last week. The potato soup was very good and my BFF was living on their chicken enchilada soup while she was sick and she said that was very good too.
I have to absolutely commend the daytime bar-area wait staff. I think the one gentleman's name is Adam, who has been there forever and has always been a shining star, and there is also a woman working in that area (can't remember her name - ugh) and they are rock stars. Drinks never go empty, plates are cleared, sweeteners are brought, etc. Seriously - they are amazing and should be given gold stars or raises or whatever it is that Chili does. The food has improved drastically, but the wait staff that can get us fed and back to work in time is what is keeping us coming there.
Great job by this Chili's to turn it around. It's verging on a 4-star review for me, keep it up!
