Our waiter was more than attentive! He kept the diet cokes flowing throughout our lengthy stay. We were catching up with old friends and never once felt rushed. The manager proactively gave my fiancé wet wipes just before she picked up the wings in her triple dipper. The service and food were impeccable. I can’t express how perfect everything was!

I literally drove 380+ miles from Mexico to eat here again, because you've set the bar really high on this location. Food, drinks and service were above and beyond as i remember from my last visit. Y'all should show any Mexican chili's how things are done!

Went in for lunch with my sister and had a 10/10 experience. Our server Jose was attentive, friendly, made honest recommendations, and quick to anticipate our needs. The food was so fresh and tasty. Jose also made chilled green tea shots that were sooo smooth and good! I wish all locations provided such a flawless experience. Thank you!

Chili's on Lamar n 45th st is 1 of my favorite. Our server John Johnson was so freaking AWESOME. The food was good also.

We had to stop by and try the one and only, online posted, Michelin star rated Chilis in the USA (wasn’t sure if it’s true but…). I was just 28 years old last time I was at one and I was frankly surprised. Michelin rated, probably not, however, the service, speed, and general quality was as high as it gets for a restaurant that does not have a valet or a dimly lit space. That being said, what they do have is worth writing about. Unbelievably fast, friendly service, someone always looking over your shoulder to refill your drink and at price that does not eat up an honest days wages. The food was as you would expect and adjusted for price pretty darn good but not pretentious or over sold in a “too many garnishes” kind of a way. It was good, fried food for the most part that was great in texture, fresh frying oil crispness and of high quality overall. I give tonight’s Baby Back rib Saturday night experience a high five star review! P.S.The molted chocolate cake is pretty ridiculous (melted chocolate filling in the middle of decadent chocolate cake with a caramel drizzle topped with vanilla ice cream under a hard chocolate shell topping). Sorry we forgot to take pictures of the food but here’s the last bit of dessert…

Sometimes I forget the impact of how warm friendly customer service can have on your dining experience. Wilson was our server and took care of us. Josh was the manager and he checked in on us. Food was good and a great value. This Chilli's will get my repeat business.

The best Chili’s I’ve probably been too. Our server was kind and efficient. The food came out quickly and pipping hot. Not to mention that our food was also delicious. You just can’t beat the prices either. This is the only Chili’s I want to dine at in Austin. The rest do not compare. Very satisfied with my experience here for sure.

Can't beat Chili's, its a great place. We sat down and ordered a triple dipper. Mozzarella sticks were fantastic, a cheese pull that must be seen to be believed. The sliders were alright, a little tough, not my favorite. The chicken tenders were divine, perfectly moist and breaded. The bacon ranch quesadilla was pretty good as well, although I was already full after splitting a triple dip. As the Greeks say, "Know Thyself". I had a strawberry margarita too, it was superb. Our waiter was also really good, super on top of things and very friendly. Unfortunately I'm bad with names. Anyways I love Chili's and you should too.

Fantastic spot for a quick lunch that is not a drive through. The wait staff here are friendly and efficient and the food service is very fast. Consistently much better than any fast food in area with a similar price point to wendy’s for burgers.

Orion Rhoades

It's what you'd expect from chili's. Service was good, food was salty (especially the fries. I'm not normally a ranch guy but I wound up dipping them in ranch just to dilute the salt flavor), table kiosk had bootleg subway surfers on it. Truly the chili's at 45th and Lamar of all time

Service was great, the waiter was super friendly and funny and we had a great time with him. The drinks came pretty fast and the food came relatively quick as well. Even on a Wednesday it was super full, both the parking lot and the interior. The food is more on the bigger end, especially if you order something filling like pasta. However, there are not very many options that are vegan or vegetarian, most of the menu is meaty or starchy. You're not going to find many fresh fruits or vegetables being used. The tvs playing in the background is also annoying, 8/10 times I looked up there was an ad playing. It's overstimulating. The mini iPad thing at the table was incredibly useful for splitting up payment as a group, but the other time it was at the table it was just playing ads. There was no napkin dispenser, and instead simply a pile of them in the middle of the table. The bathroom was relatively clean, fully functional which is nice. Overall I would come again with friends.

My experiences here have always been acceptable.  Meals have been made to specification 85% of the time. Service has run the gambit from the very personable servers to the disinterested. Management has been responsive to concerns I've expressed.  They run with some hiccups during their busy times, and I recommend you calling ahead to get on their waiting list, rather than just showing up at rush times. TVs are situated well in the bar and there is ample seating there.

the ambiance is nonexistent. the lobby is lit brightly with hot white fluorescent bulbs and i'm overstimulated. food is great, service is great, my eyes hurt.

Been to this location twice in one week. The first time, my order was perfect. No issues. Second time (the next day) ordered the same thing (3 for me) & was slightly disappointed. My lemonade wasn’t filled. Had to ask for them to top it off, also the salsa was completely watery with no chunks of tomatoes… dipping chips was pointless. Also gave me ONE ketchup packet. Had to ask for me. Please be consistent with food & service. This isn’t a “don’t come here” review, just please note, CONSISTENCY MATTERS.

My problem wasn't the food or the service. My problem was the PRICES. $13.59 for a margarita and $13.39 for a burger and fries! How did the drink cost MORE than the meal. The bartender apologized as he wasn't aware and said he would have suggested something else. I didnt want the margarita of the month but I am sure they could have made me some kind of $6 drink. Very disappointing.

The wait times here are ridiculous, nobody should have to wait to eat at a chilis. But a $6 margarita is a $6 margarita.

I ordered the nachos and my partner got the triple dipper with the fried mozzarella, bone in buffalo wings, and the nashville hot chicken crispers . The nachos were subpar, it didn't have many to…

I grew up going to the original Chilis in Dallas on Greenville Avenue. It has been a staple in my life for a very long time. I was recently at the Chilis on Lamar Avenue in Austin and tried to order the skillet queso. What came out was NOT skillet queso. When I asked about why KT was different the server told me Chilis had discontinued it. I nearly passed out. I asked if they still had chili as a joke and she responded that it had been discontinued also. I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone. How could the restaurant I had know since I was a child discontinue what made them who they are?! Many years ago they discontinued the classic chicken crispers…you know, the ones with the tempura batter. All of these items were some of my favorite items and the sole reason I would go to Chilis. Now they are gone. So I give them good ratings for atmosphere and service but I have to take exception with Chilis removing the classics from the menu. Why would I come here anymore?

Saw the biggest roach I've ever seen in the bathroom and the queso was ice cold. Didn't even get a discount after telling the manager lol

They ran out the waffles to complete my order and got an attitude when asked if it would be the same price.. I already payed at this point and just asked for three extra boneless wings that went wi…

After seeing all the tiktoks and the trends I caved and I was dissapointed severely. The mozz sticks were alright but I felt like I had diabetes after and the burger and crisper were just bad. Mad expensive too for the nasty quality of food.
