In Short – Festive decor of colorfully tiled tables, vintage photographs and sunny Southwestern accents welcomes an all-ages crowd at this informal hangout. Youngsters and their parents pile into dining room booths; casual business types toss back margaritas and watch televised sports at the bar. The menu features mild versions of Lone Star state favorites, from double-basted baby back ribs and steak fajitas to red-beef chili and deep-fried onions.

Editor's Tips

What to Drink:
Thirsty? Chili's features bottomless beverages, with free refills on coffee, brewed and flavored teas, lemonade and fountain drinks. Adults may prefer frosted mugs of beer and five varieties of hand-shaken margaritas.

South I 35 and Stassney location

by Loui at Citysearch

The south location was a bad experience. I ordered a burger; cheese. mayo. lett. tom. pickles only. My waiter Jessica took my order right , but when I received my order (1) the burger had everything including onions. Gross. She appologized and took it back. She brang it back (2) and asked me to check if it was correct and "no" , it was made must. lett. tom. pickles. She again appologized and had it remade, and this time when she brang it back, (3) it was almost made right ; mayo. lett. tom. pickles. Hello!! where the cheese.? I told her it was'nt her fault that if she can please bring me some cheese. She was embarrased and kept appologizing for the burger being rong and asked if I wanted to speak to a manager. I told her it was fine I just wanted to eat with my family. It wasn't her fault that the cook couldn't read an order properly . The waiter was awesome and told me she'd be mad and not calm like me. i was upset but kept calm because I wasn't feeling good and with this 100+ degree weather. I wasn't in the mood for drama.

  • Pros: Food served hot
  • Cons: Food was remade 3 times before correct

High fat, High sodium

by oldhickory at Citysearch

read the nutrirtional information for chili's menus and you'll re-think.

I don't know how they can serve with a straight face. If a dish is not 70+ grams of fat (70 grams for the SALADS) it's got over 2000 mg of sodium.

How about 82 grams of fat in your baby back ribs--and don't forget the 4400 mg of sodium.

Mayb you'd prefer 129 grams of fat with your chicken crispers, or 5800 mg of sodium with your cajun chicken pasta.

Heart attack just waiting to happen....it's criminal...

  • Pros: service is good. "Can I get a triple bypass with that salad?"
  • Cons: food is not healthy

I don't see the problem..

Basically Chili's is Chili's is Chili's. I've never had a problem at this location - in fact, the service has been just fine, if a little too 'peppy' for my taste, but hey, that's Chili's I guess.

Food is good - Sometimes the margarita's are a bit sketchy but apart from that, no complaints.

Be aware though, this location is the closest to the UT campus so it can get really busy. There is always room in the bar area though, if you don't mind the smoke and TV's.

  • Pros: Good Food, Friendly people
  • Cons: Very Busy, Televisions
