Went yesterday (Friday) for my birthday. Was seated quickly and even was able to choose which booth we wanted.
Our server Brian was awesome. He kept our drinks topped off and made sure we were never in need of anything. Originally we ordered the Queso Skillet and Chips and an order of fried onion rings. Both arrived fairly quickly yet both needed to be returned just as quickly. The chips were so salty it came with a side of High Blood Pressure. The Queso was subpar. Tasted as if it had been sitting all night. The onion rings were so overly cooked and burnt that my husband refused to have them remake them. We did choose to have them swap out the original Queso for White Spinach Queso and it was actually one of the best appetizers I've tasted in awhile. They really did regain themselves with that one.
In addition to my appetizer we ordered two kids meals that weren't bad for the price and hubby and I split a Mix and Match Trio platter with an extra order of shrimp. The hubby said his steak was really tender, seasoned well, and cooked to perfection. The vegetables were charred very nicely without being over cooked or mushy. The warm tortilla shells were a pleasant contrast to the cool creaminess of the sour cream and guacamole. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the hint of spicy was just right.
I had the Triple Berry Margarita on the rocks. Another awesome for Chili's. So much so that I had to order another! They weren't skimpy on the alcohol nor was the flavor over bearing.
Sometime during our meal my husband was able to sneak away and let the staff know it was my birthday because halfway through the meal they came out with a vanilla scoop ice cream topped with hot fudge. Pretty basic since the hubby said the lady next to us who also had a birthday was brought a slice of fudge cake. But hey, it's free and unexpected so I was happy! Especially since I had no room for dessert and my girls ate it anyway
Other than having to return our original appetizers, our dinner and waiter was awesome! Price wasn't too expensive. They applied the 10% military discount to all items except alcohol so it allowed for a nice tip for our waiter. We usually add the 10% we get off on top of their normal tip. I know he was happy.
