When ordering food for pickup it can be a hit or miss type of experience. Often you arrive and have to wait additional time, an item is left off of your order or the food is over or under cooked. I am happy to report I encountered no such issues with my pickup order. I was greeted promptly upon entering the restaurant. Even fellow patrons welcome me in. The food was bagged and ready and the associates were cordial and hospitable. Once I reached my destination the food was still warm, all the additional condiments were included and the extra cutlery as well I highly recommend for pickup if you aren't dining in.

The food was hot and fresh. The service was great. There was a lot of management onsite and the quality of food and service showed it. Keep up the good work. Just make sure you wipe down the payment/game machines. They were not clean but the restaurant definitely was.

Went to dinner with my family. We had a large group (11 people). I called a few days before to give them a heads and they were able to accommodate us with no issues. The two waitress were attentive and friendly. My family and I had a wonderful evening. My food was good and everyone in my party seemed to enjoy their food as well. Definitely recommended.

Dude Robert took care of us at the bar. He was friendly, professional, respectful and straight up when we couldn’t get the game at the bar let us know what TV we could catch it on. Place was busy so all things considered the food came fast and was decent. Passing thru and its standard corporate chain service and standard fare but the staff made it seem better than average quality.

Very accommodating. Clean and confortable, low noise. Good place to eat and think. Food was good. Manager seemed unconcerned about their Ziosk Table Service Device sending people to the wrong websites to download the Chili's app. No desire to look into it at all. Not his responsibility. I guess customer experience is not part of his role either.
