Chili's Grill & Bar — Restaurant in Livermore

Not too fond of the recent remodel personally. But not much else has changed.

I used to love this restaurant about 20 years ago. It has really changed for the worse in many areas since then. Fajitas used to be fresh chicken that was yummy. Now it tastes like rubber and has a fake look and feel to it while eating. I won't ever order it again.

Chips are hit or miss...sometimes good and crispy with a good salt ratio. And salsa is now always kinda bland and boring.

Overall, sometimes its good and sometimes not so good.

Can always drown it out with the nice selection of margaritas though.

UPDATE 4/17/23

Chili's is really a dying brand. They have run this place into the ground over the last couple decades. Somehow it finds ways to stay alive.

I tried the baby back ribs a month ago, which I have not had in probably 15 years. They are terrible! Skinny ribs, overcooked, small amount of meat is not flavorful, but the sauce hides it somewhat. Never ever will order these again.

Fajitas still use their rubber chicken.

I mostly go here for the basic nachos with a...

I can't believe how good this place. We came after a hike and were starving. The food came out right away. The one server was also tending bar and she was super busy and just nailed it. The bathrooms were clean and everything came out together. None of the food was too under flavored like I was expecting. The chips were those light and salty types. They came with two different salsa types and cheese. The plates were actually very good portion sizes. There was some nice people watching to do also with the strange people at the bar. The food didn’t take too long either. We got a refil without asking which is always nice and pretty much unexpected at restaurants these days. The girl did a really great job juggling all of us. The cheese was that delicious stuff similar to what they have at Chipotle and Taco bell. It’s almost a chalky texture. None of that melted velveeta trash here. I really enjoyed our time at this location and I would definitely come back and visit. Especially if never ending cheese to the never ending chips becomes a thing.

Thank you Chili’s for your...

If i could give one star i totally would!

I ordered my food 6:17 i got to the place 17 minutes later. I return home which is FOUR minutes away. I open my food it’s alot smaller than when i usually order, I notice i dont have the EXTRAS i ordered which is Ranch, and Alfredo.

I ignore it and start to eat my first bite my food is COLD! My husbands food is cold. Not just one bite but the more bites (Which was 4 bites) i take the colder it gets.!

I call and speak to the manager and he literally tells me of I remember that order nothing was wrong with the portion size, and the food wasn’t cold....EXCUSE ME? I literally don’t complain about food at all i just roll with the punches but my food literally tasted like it was sitting there for awhile.

He goes on to say I don’t know what you want me to do about it i know it wasn’t small nor cold. I offered to take my food back so he could feel it. I’m highly upset.

I’ll NEVER return to this location! I’m sad i had to leave a bad review i never try to leave negative...
