I absolutely love this place, stopped by for brunch, had a long island, and their fresh mex bowl salad. Wasn't to busy around soonish. Had just about every sports station on playing every major game. The bartender was super friendly and very attentive. Highly recommend

Best place in town to not only let your guard down..but excellent food, great service, and super clean. Atmosphere that compares to none in Santee...even waiting 20 minutes outside. So worth the wait.

We had an absolutely amazing experience thanks to our server, Yoli. She truly went above and beyond and was incredibly kind, warm, and attentive from start to finish. She made sure my family and I were well taken care of the entire time and helped make this one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had here. The food was more delicious than we’ve ever had before, and Yoli’s recommendations were spot on. Her positive attitude and spectacular service truly made our day. She is such a sweet soul and a true asset to this restaurant. We can’t wait to come back!

I visited the Chili’s in Santee, and I can honestly say it was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. My waiter, Taylor, delivered phenomenal service from start to finish. Attentive, friendly, and incredibly professional, Taylor made sure everything was perfect without missing a beat. The level of care and hospitality was truly outstanding. What sets this location apart is the consistency and quality of the service. Even though I live further away, I would gladly drive to this Chili’s any day over any other closer option. The team here goes above and beyond, and it shows. The service is impeccable, the atmosphere is welcoming, and every detail feels intentional. Huge shoutout to Taylor for making a great meal even better. I was seated on Saturday at around 5pm

Got Brian as our server and he was absolutely amazing! We came to try their 3 for me deal and it was WORTH IT. We walked in on a Sunday night right before football started and it was slammed, however we were seated immediately! We did not even realize that the kitchen was behind because of how great the service was - Brian kept checking in on us, offered us some chips and salsa, and was ON TOP of refills. The food itself was great. We all had different variations of the burger and killed it. This location has def earned themselves some repeat customers. Thank you so much Brian and the rest of the santee crew!

We came in for dinner and it was a great experience! Everyone was super friendly and attentive. Our server Cameron was great and even the general manager Austin took time to come and check on us to make sure we were okay! Would definitely eat here again. The food and service were great!

Did the 3 for Me Deal. Tried the artic frost margarita, chips and salsa, and the 6 oz. Sirloin meal. My kid had the chicken tenders and fries. All were delicious, the margarita was my favorite.

Nice updated and service was great! I have not eaten at a chilis in years, the food was good. Burgers and fries were great. They have servals deals and you can dine for great prices. If you sign up for the rewards then you get free chips and salsa. They accommodated our large party easily.

The star of the lunch was our server Elliana. What an incredible experience she provided. Made helpful recommendations and kept a vigil eye on our table. She made our visit, and everyone at the table commented on how good she was. The food was good bot took a back seat to the service. Thank you! I WILL BE BACK

We came in for lunch, there was a Fat tire beer waiting when I came back from the restroom! Enjoyed a plater of fajitas with shrimp, grilled chicken and steak. It came with all the trimmings, I asked for tapatío the bartender said chili’s doesn’t carry it but she shared her own chalula stash with us! What a wonderful addition to a perfect lunch. Thank you for being so accommodating. There’s is ample parking and the garden with its paths is very nice. Will be back

Chili's is absolutely amazing 10/10. Amazing food, served quickly, amazing staff, availability, quality, time, environment. Everything ur looking for in a restaurant, I promise you they will meet your expectations! I went two days in a row around dinner time. Theres a bar, if you want to get some drinks. But there's also a completely different section where everyone and their families were. I seen tons of families, Dads taking their families out for dinner. You can tell this is one of their favorite places to go, huge parties, or one or two people, this place is absolutely for a variety of different people. They sat me down quickly with my best friend. Everywhere is clean and well-taken care of. The menu has so much variety of foods, soups, salads, drinks, alcohol, etc. I went two days in a row! And BOTH TIMES they brought the food out within 10-15 minutes, for two people. Not even joking!! Both times! I received my food so quickly, it was freshly made. The staff, the waiters/waitresses, the cooks, etc. You can tell they actually care, they work SO WELL together, its such an efficient, organized system they have. It works perfectly. Literally 10/10 service. The waitress always made sure i was good with a quick glance but didnt bother you constantly for no reason. They made my experience beyond any other restaurant i have gone to in my life. (A close second is any steak house lol. But they still take long). I definitely recommend this place. Whether your going by yourself, or with friends or family, this place will suit your needs. And the food is such good quality, hot, fresh, tasty. You WILL be eating those leftovers! I love it here. Lastly, they have an electronic tablet at EACH table, for people of all ages to play games on, along with checking out/paying at your own convenience!! It was super easy to just swipe my card on the tablet and leave!? I was like wow.. This place is amazing lol Definitely coming here again

Had a very nice lunch recently at Chili’s in Santee! Sitting in the bar area is always a fun vibe and everything was nice and clean. The service was reasonably friendly, timely and efficient. I noticed the new Ziosk device is a smaller form factor now and much less tacky and obtrusive than before. I was really impressed by their Hand-Battered Chicken Crispers! If you’re a fan of the venerable fried chicken tender, this one is an absolute standout. Plus, it comes with your choice of two dipping sauces. I ordered it as a “Crispy Chicken Crispers Combo” which comes with fries and white cheddar mac & cheese. What truly flummoxed me was how terrible the mac is! It was truly awful. Just a sad, soupy mess. A combo platter like this would be much better with a side of crispy, cool coleslaw or something. Not sure who at Mother Chili’s corporate office thought it was a good idea to serve mac & cheese with fries, but it’s not a good idea.

Chili's is good. Love the bottomless chips and salsa. I always get the burger on the three for me menu. Appetizer, Burger, and a drink all for around $11. Cheaper than most fast food restaurants for a similar meal. Service is good, but it is very loud in there... There are a lot of different TVs, with a lot of different sports on. If you're a sports fan, this is the place you want to go. We just wanted to go out for a nice dinner at a reasonable price. We did get a good dinner at a good price, but it's a little hard to hold a conversation sometimes.

People might not realize you can exchange a deep fried chicken sandwich for a grilled chicken sandwich. Can’t even get rid of the bun then you can exchange the french fries for asparagus or mashed potatoes.. It’s really easy to have a healthy meal at Chili’s.

Always a nice place to stop for some quick eats, seasonal or traditional drinks, and to watch a game! Staff are always so friendly and accommodating, some are even pretty funny! Service is great, especially in the bar, with check-ins, refills, and food delivery. Food is consistently well prepared and tasty. Mixed drinks, they'll sneak up on you as they're nicely balanced so you can enjoy them not just try to drink them.

Well, I tried to get a sirloin steak cooked medium-rare. The first one was RARE rare, and about 98% gristle, the second one was, as the manager described it, "jerky". So I gave up, but Haley, the delightful manager, took my drink off AND let me take the third attempt home at no charge. Props to Haley for doing things right. I still haven't looked at the third attempt. Wish me luck!

First time eating here. Was asked by the waitress if we wanted to start off with some chips and salsa. We said sure. Chips weren't fresh and we're extremely salty & so was the salsa. Played the game at the table white we waited..then we got our food, chicken strips with honey Chipotle sauce were also very salty and the little hamburger appetizers werent fresh tasting either. .got the check and we're shocked to see that the chips weren't free and the game wasn't free either. 🤦‍♀️ we wont be back.
