Chili's
is
ALWAYS
a
great
place
to
go
for
good
food.
Last
week,
I
went
twice
to
the
one
off
Almaden,
and
each
time
was
a
pleasure.
Our
waiter
on
my
first
visit,
Kenny,
was
VERY
sweet.
The
poor
thing
did
his
best
to
see
to
each
of
his
tables
WHILE
playing
busboy!
I
guess
this
restaurant
is
experiencing
the
same
thing
most
businesses
are
right
now
in
a
lack
of
employees,
so
I
think
the
waiters
were
having
to
do
double
duty
that
night
(and
cover
more
tables
than
usual).
So
it
did
take
time
for
Kenny
to
get
to
us
for
refills,
but
that
wasn’t
his
fault,
and
he
was
super
apologetic
when
he
finally
returned.
But
there
was
no
cause
for
that
because
low
staffing
isn't
his
fault
(or
the
restaurant's,
really,
because
they
have
a
Hiring
sign
right
outside
the
door).
Anyhow,
about
the
food!
I
hadn't
been
to
Chili's
in
years,
so
I
opted
for
the
chicken
fajita
platter.
And
it
was
as
good
as
I
remembered.
My
uncle
and
cousin
were
with
me,
and
my
uncle
had
never
seen
the
platters
before
and
was
super
impressed,
even
saying
he
would
have
to
remember
to
get
that
the
next
time.
My
uncle
had
his
favorite
Turkey
Club
sandwich,
and
my
cousin
loves
the
Loaded
Potato
Soup.
But
word
of
warning:
The
fajita
platter
is
HUGE!
Either
come
with
an
appetite
or
expect
to
take
half
of
it
home.
You
get
3
to
4
tortillas,
chicken
(or
steak
or
shrimp
or
a
combo
of
2
or
3),
black
beans,
rice,
and
the
typical
fajita
vegetables
of
grilled
onions
and
bell
peppers.
PLUS
you
get
a
separate
tray
of
condiments
(salsa,
pica
de
gallo,
sour
cream,
shredded
cheese,
&
guacamole).
It
really
is
a
FILLING
meal
and
SO
good!
My
last
visit
was
with
a
friend
from
high
school
whom
I
hadn't
seen
since
graduation
(and,
no,
you
don't
get
to
learn
how
long
ago
THAT
was
😉).
I
decided
to
try
the
Quesadilla
Salad,
and,
WOW,
was
THAT
filling!
I
had
to
take
half
of
it
home.
I
didn't
catch
our
waiter's
name
for
this
visit,
but
when
I
asked
for
a
box,
he
asked
if
I
wanted
to
take
the
chips
home,
too,
so
I
said
sure.
Next
thing
I
know,
he's
brought
a
FRESH
portion
of
chips
in
a
bag
AND
a
big
batch
of
FRESH
salsa
in
a
to-go
lidded
bowl!
That
was
super
sweet
of
him,
and
I
absolutely
enjoyed
my
chips
and
salsa
for
multiple
days
after.
(And
the
bag
they
give
has
an
instruction
sticker
saying
you
can
microwave
the
chips
right
in
the
bag!
Talk
about
convenient!)
So,
yes,
I
wholeheartedly
recommend
Chili's
and
this
one
in
particular.
I
haven't
been
disappointed
yet.
(Except,
of
course,
they
play
soccer
games
on
the
overhead
TVs,
and
I'm
a
proud
American--I
don't
go
in
for
soccer
AT
ALL
(😁--don't
get
all
touchy
&
offended,
I’m
only
teasing...sort
of).
Give
me
baseball,
football,
basketball,
or
hockey.
Heck,
even
golf
will
do!
(I've
come
to
enjoy
watching
golf
on
TV,
which
I
never
thought
would
be
the
case.)
Just
not
soccer.
Or
reality
shows.
PLEASE,
no
"reality"
shows!
😄)
Bottom
line:
Chili's
is
a
"must-try"
if
you've
never
gone
and
an
absolute
"will-return"
if
you
have.
Their
food
is
always
so
good
that
you
won't
be
disappointed,
and
the
menu
is
so
diverse
that
they're
sure
to
have
something
for
everyone.
And
though
I
haven't
had
any
since
returning
to
the
restaurant,
I
used
to
enjoy
their
margaritas.
Straight
or
frozen,
they
really
were
excellent.
And,
of
course,
the
atmosphere
is
fun
and
laid-back.
Lots
of
people
talking
and
laughing,
music
in
the
background,
and
the
TVs
for
those
who
want
to
keep
up
on
their
team's
latest
game.
Go
and
enjoy!
