My husband and I went to dinner last September at that restaurant because it was late and this place seemed to be the only one still open. We did not expect nothing out of the extraordinary from a chain restaurant as far as the food goes. I ordered fajitas and my husband had ribs. His ribs were very good, the... more

We chose Chili's because it was familiar and usually have a consistent, pleasant experience with the chain. This was probably the worst restaurant experience we've ever had. The waitress was nice enough but then we ordered and thats when it went downhill. They didn't have most of the food they had advertised as being on special actually as part of... more

Before going to Carlsbad, I checked Trip Advisor for the restaurant reviews and had written down 2 different choices that were well reviewed and thought would appeal to my family. Sadly, both restaurants happened to be closed that day, as it was the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend so as we drove through town we saw a Chili's and thought... more

One doesn't have a lot of choices when going out for dinner in Carlsbad. Since Chilis is a chain restaurant, we decided to stop by for dinner. The place was dark and gloomy and looked run down inside. The waitress was nice enough but the food wasn't that great. The place is overpriced for what one gets. more

All in all, our experience was that this is a middle of the pack restaurant and definitely average or below average for a Chili’s. The restaurant was not particularly crowded... more

This was a bottom-of-the-barrel dining experience for me and my family. We were asked to wait 30 to 45 minutes (along with dozens of other people and people lining up behind us), which would have been fine (though unusual at 4:30 on a weekday) had there not been 6 to 8 EMPTY tables right in the middle of the restaurant,... more

Eat at Chili's for your evening meal after scrambling through the caves during the day. The portions are very generous; one plate could serve 2 people. The food is also very delicious with lots of choices from ribs, chicken, and beef dishes. The place is popular judging by the number of locals of all age ranges who were there at... more
