| - I've only been to Chili's a few times in my life, so I guess I don't have much to compare it to as far as other locations are concerned...but I wasn't really impressed.
The service was great, we were seated immediately, the waitress was wonderfully friendly. We opted for the 2 for $20 meal package to keep it on the low. We shared an appetizer of chips and guacamole/salsa, the husband chose the grilled chicken salad and I ordered the half rack of babybacks. The chips were warm, perfectly salty and I love how thin they are. The on-table trivia game kept us occupied while we devoured guacamole.
The baby back ribs were delicious. Succulent, flavorful and falling off of the bone - lick your fingers good, and the french fries were fantastic. I only ate two of them. My husband was so bummed out about his salad, that I traded him my plate for his. I thought 'how bad could it be? it's a salad!'.
It was bad. It was really bad. My tastebuds were assaulted with an overbearing onion-meets-citrus-meets-bitter-arugula. The grilled chicken wasn't seasoned well, and disappeared into the pile of greens. Every once in a while I stumbled upon a black bean, and I think someone accidentally spilled a few kernels or corn. I'm tell you this was terrible. I couldn't eat it. I picked out the bland chicken to put some protein in my belly, and threw my napkin on the plate. Done.
We utilized the incredibly helpful table-top kiosk to swipe our card to pay so we could leave, full of disappointment instead of dinner.
No more Chilis for us.
