I can count the number of times I've dined at Chili's in my lifetime prior to this visit on two fingers, so you know it's certainly not my go to place. Unfortunately the Calgary airport is lame and this is the only sit down restaurant after security, so I had no choice but to eat here before my 9 hour flight.
I didn't really expect much and it ended up being better than expected (back handed compliment?) Our server was super perky and pretty quick. There was a solo man at a table beside us who was very rushed for time and she suggested some meals that would come out more quickly than others and explained that fried things would take longer than, say, a side salad.
I ordered a chicken burger and my husband had a beef burger, both with fries. They only took 8 minutes to get to our table. There was nothing wrong with the taste at all. Again, better than I expected them to be.
