Chili's Grill & Bar

The smells always waft across Clairemont Mesa from this place. I finally caved and got a full order of the Nashville mozzarella sticks I’ve seen all over social media. I also ordered a QP Burger with fries. The burger was by far the highlight. It was juicy, well-seasoned, and fairly saucy. Everything on it was fresh and delicious. The fries were seasoned and cooked pretty well. Not incredible but pretty good. The mozzarella sticks, on the other hand, were only fun for a couple of minutes. After I eating one I felt kind of sick. There was so much grease, and the mixture of the breading, melted cheese, Nashville dressing, and ranch was just an extreme punch to the gut. My friend had one and was laughing while eating it. Overall I’d say Chili’s has really stepped up their burger game in recent years. The QP Burger is great. The mozzarella sticks are HEAVY. Get an order of 3 if you really want to try them.

We came here at 1pm for lunch and the atmosphere is great, plenty of choices. The grilled I ordered is much bigger than I thought, for 2 people actually, the sauce of rib was too sweet for me but the meat is good and tender. Waiter is really helpful and check you every 10-15 mins to see if you need anything with a great attitude

Inconsistent with food quality. When I got the ribs, mashed potatoes and Mac they were great. This past order yesterday October 18th was terrible but I ordered something I’ve never had there before .. the big mouth burgers… they were supposed to be 4 separated sliders but came as 4 small buns together, all end pieces lol and one Patty in the middle that was pink and undercooked.. The bacon was bacon bits not slices and the Mac and cheese side was a joke .. the container was big but inside was about a tablespoon of Mac n cheese hahaha. I ended up just tossing the order. For 20 bucks go elsewhere.

I had so much hopes for this brand and that it was gonna push forward. Have good food at a decent price but what they’ve done is a baiting switch for months now their food is looked like their pitcher and then all of a sudden the portions are smaller and it’s very inadequate as someone who goes there multiple times a week. I’m pretty much calling it done. This is corporate making decisions trying to save a penny what they advertise versus what you get.

The meal was prepared well and exceeded expectations for a casual dining visit. The burger was served with a soft, glossy bun and a generous portion of toppings, including fresh lettuce, tomato, and melted cheese. The patty had good flavor and was cooked evenly. The fries were a standout, arriving hot with a crisp exterior and a well-seasoned finish that paired nicely with the entrée. The side salad was fresh and balanced. The greens were crisp, the tomatoes were flavorful, and the croutons added a good texture. The dressing was applied in an appropriate amount, coating the salad without overwhelming it. Service was prompt and attentive. Water refills were quick, and the staff ensured everything arrived correctly. The overall experience was consistent and enjoyable, making it a reliable stop for a quality meal. I recommended the 3 & Me!
