It took us 5 minutes to get over there, the service was great and the decor was awful. \u00a0The food was \u00a0subpar. \u00a0My Jalapeno Steak Quesadillas were entirely passable but not worth the $10 or so they cost. \u00a0Matt ordered the &#8220;large&#8221; nachos. \u00a0Apparently &#8220;large&#8221; at Chilis constitutes 10 chips covered with beans and cheese. \u00a0I&#8217;m not sure how this is large, I&#8217;m afraid to find out what the small nacho is.<\/p>\n<p>Our server was kinda furtive but really on the ball with getting our orders, bringing refills and bringing our check. \u00a0He didn&#8217;t pester us with any nonsense which was nice, but his tossing the check down with our food was a little odd. \u00a0Did I smell? \u00a0Was he encouraging us to leave? \u00a0Or did he recognize a &#8220;business&#8221; lunch since I was wearing my shitty polo and jeans. I&#8217;m sometimes afraid that I push business casual a little too far. \u00a0Do cut off jean shorts count as business casual?<\/p>\n<p>I was really jonesing for a quesadilla and it must have clouded my judgement. \u00a0I mean, I know Chilis is just lackluster.. but why did I hope to have a stupid awesome quesadilla? \u00a0I think the key when eating at Chilis is to manage your expectations. \u00a0If you&#8217;re looking for a great experience with amazing food, keep walking.<\/p>\n<p>I give Chilis a\u00a0[rating:2] rating. \u00a0Perfectly passable over priced food. \u00a0If your company is paying it might be more enjoyable. If you really like Crapplebees you&#8217;ll probably enjoy Chili&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p>P.S. &#8211; So what, no pictures.
