Chili's McAllen Reviews
My server was very attentive and kind. The food was great too.
Stopped by Chilis today and honestly it was just a really good experience all around. As soon as we walked in, the doors were open and the place just felt alive in a good way…great energy, welcoming atmosphere, and everyone was vibing .Our server was super kind and attentive without overdoing it. Checked on us at the right times and made sure everything was right. The food came out hot and tasted great, looked like the picture in the menu What stuck with me was the host opening the door for us when we left. Small thing, but it says a lot. You can tell they care. Definitely coming back.
Today was such a pleasant experience! Our server Alyssa was fantastic! She was so attentive and friendly! The overall vibe of this restaurant was very positive..The food was delicious ( bacon cheeseburger, fries, mozzarella sticks, enchilada soup) and reasonably priced 😋....great location next to theater ☺️
Delicious food , Great service Bonus point because the food get to your table super fast
This location never disappoints! We've done dates, hangouts, bdays, and each time the service rocks! Definitely get the 3 for me if you're on a budget. I guarantee it won't leave you hungry for more
food was great ! Our server Ihana was even better ( i hope im spelling that right ) . she broke the ice and made me feel very comfortable right off the bat . she was on top of everything and gave us refills without even asking . she is so kind and hardworking ! thank you ihana for making my boyfriend and i feel very welcomed !
We had a craving so we went. We enjoyed our Cajun Chicken Pasta plate. Since we are older and don't eat too much, we decided to split a plate and enjoy some soup and salad along with some Chips and Salsa. Quick service. Great attitude from waitress and Gabriel (our grandson) even brought our meal to us. Loved seeing him and the rest of the crew do their best work during lunch rush hours. Great job guys!
Went on a date night with my boyfriend and shared the texas loaded cheese fries aswell as the tripple dipper. The service by lorenzo was amazing, very accommodating and welcoming. The manager on site was adrian and he was very curtious in asking if everything was greatt! Overall great experience and no complaints!
I love this place! If you come to this location(Nolana Ave in McAllen, Texas) between 11am and 4pm, sit either at the bar or a booth or tall table within the bar area and ask for Mario. Excellent bar tender/server. When I come in for lunch, I make sure I sit in the bar area for lunch. Mario makes great drinks(I highly recommend you try the El Niño). Give this place a try and tell Mario that Tommy sent you! Enjoy!!
Wanted to try there new 3 and me with smash burger so I went. We got there and no wait, got seated. They were quick to take our drinks and orders. My mom and I ordered the same thing only 3 and me with smash burger I went with chips and salsa and my mom went with chicken enchilada soup. My dad got ribs combo. My mom said soup was good but a bit salty for her. They brought out a lot of chips for chips and salsa. The service was great we had a young girl with glasses named Ana. She always checked on us. The food was great honestly that was a great smash burger It had island dressing, but didn't taste it. The smash burger was flavorful and juicy. Top 3 burgers I've had for sure. Will definitely go here again.

My wife and I recently went to Chili's on Nolana. The service was good as was the food. Overall, it was a good eating experience. Looking forward to going back.
I have never had a problem with Chili's. The service is great and have always gotten our food in a decent amount of time. Their drinks are delicious and recommend any of their burgers!
Delicious food, server started good but last 30 min didn't come back to offer refills
Went with a friend for a beer and small plate. The brisket quesadillas we great, but I did not have a full meal. Very friendly atmosphere, people enjoying the evening.
The food was brought to our table very fast! The steak fajitas, chicken Cajun pasta, and the triple dipper were amazing. The chicken crispers were ok but could've been better in my opinion. The staff were super friendly and helpful but the music was a bit too loud.
Food here was very tasty and filling, the fries were not made to order it seems, they were only barely warm and slightly soggy, the boss burger i got wasn't the best one I've had, i have eaten it before, meat for both burgers was juicy. The ribs were good and soft, we really enjoyed the taste of the coleslaw. Service this night was a bit slow but nothing serious. I do recommend chili's for any type of appetite.
Excelente burgers they truly have a double meat burger that is juicy. Fríes are sometimes overcooked and seasoned

I wanted to treat my son to a burger at Chili's on Nolana Loop, just a few blocks west of McColl Rd. Once seated we placed our drink order and also ordered a sampler platter. You choose three items from a list offered. We decided on fried cheese, buffalo wings (bone-in), and the southwest egg rolls. The fried cheese is two squares of breaded mozzarella,and comes with a wanna be Marina sauce. The egg rolls have black beans, corn, and red peppers stuffed inside, and served with an avocado ranch sauce. The rolls have a decent balance of flavors that pairs well with the sauce. The wings are the traditional buffalo and served with ranch. My son ordered the bacon burger, I ordered the buffalo chicken salad. He loved his burger, he practically inhaled it. My salad was lame, first it didn't come with the blue cheese crumbles that were in the menu description, nor was the chicken dipped or coated with buffalo sauce, just plain ole fried chicken breast cut into strips. So the only components on my salad were lettuce mix(pre-dressed), tortilla strips,a few bacon bits and the chicken, Boring! I asked my server about the missing components and she returned promptly with both, but this did little to help an already weak salad. A few grape tomatoes , red onion rings, and maybe some Avocado would have made a huge difference. The prices at Chili's are reasonable but for a $12 dollar salad it could have been a lot better. Next time I go I'll order a burger.
I WISH they had better deals like APPLEBEE'S its was to expensive for a itty bitty plate. I dont know why but 25 for a 6 ounce steak is crazy... and need more food options. But overall it was delicious.
Chose the brisket quesadilla and it was great. Our waitress took great care of us! Only thing I didn’t appreciate was an automatic charge for a “donation” that was applied to my receipt. When I asked the waitress, she stated it was automatically added to everyone’s tab. I asked her to take it off because I never said I was donating. If I hadn’t looked at the receipt closely, I would’ve paid for something I didn’t authorize.
Appetizers took forever to arrive. waitress was pulling double duty as bartender. Worst seer I've I've ever had at this restaurant.
Sucked.\nThe new chicken bacon ranch nachos are crap, probably will never return here again

Arrived at chilis and waited 40 minutes for a table. People started arriving after me and were getting seated. I was a party of 5 and bigger parties were getting seated. I did request a high chair for my table but regardless of the fact they could have made it work at any table whether a booth or table. I also had called ahead of time for the table or to be on a waitlist and they said they go based off first come first serve. Will not be coming back here again.
the worst service. manager on floor was being rude when i told him my issue. when i wanted a completely fresh queso. i was charged for it ..when the server never came for me to ask to reheat it ? manager made so many excuses for servers and i asked the food runner if we can get our server and get never came? when i asked for refills none! food was hot but cold when i waited for server to get my drink refills. server did ignored our section and did refills for other tables. the manager lied and said he checked up on us when he never did? worst place to go to. and definitely my last! it’s always the couples that go and get crappy service . i wonder how the manager keep running a place when they don’t satisfy their customers?
