Chili's Grill & Bar — Restaurant in Manhattan Beach

The red neon light from the restaurant's iconic sign falls on the street. My 2 friends Heather and Josh stand outside admiring the bold architecture high ceilings and bar of endless bud light and margaritas.

We stepped into the doorway, a barrier between the outside world and the marvelous wonderland of middle-class fancy . Our host was kind yet somehow indifferent to your existence. It's a marvel they get them to do anything on the wage they are paid. The space unfolds like a visual symphony, with deep earthy tones serving as the backdrop to a captivating melange of textures and patterns. The walls, adorned with weathered wooden panels and accents of exposed brick, convey a rustic charm that harkens to the cozy corners of Southwestern hideaways.

Suspended from the ceiling, clusters of pendant lights cast a warm, amber glow, infusing the space with a sense of intimacy and depth.

I order The Tequila Trifecta, a testament to Chili's ingenious mixology, which took center stage as an opulent ballet of tequila-infused artistry. A less civilized man would call it a hangover in a cup. And on that thought, we would find common ground. For its essentially a 16oz glass of Tequila masquerading as a margarita Next the Brisket Quesadilla, an enchanting synthesis of robust flavors and tender artistry, emerged as a triumphant embodiment of Chili's culinary prowess. A crescendo of smoked brisket, skillfully nestled between flour tortillas, caramelized onions and high-end Mexican three-blend cheese a melodious interplay of textures and tastes.

We found ourselves at the end of the night full happy and full of life. Chilis is the backbone of this beautiful country we call America. Nothing hits quite like DWI in the heartland rushing back from happy hour before the babysitter charges an extra 10 dollars. In the end, this is why we have freedom this is why we go to...

I got the ribeye here, plus 12 shrimp on top

This steak was absolutely fantastic First of all, it was cooked to a perfect medium rare - exactly how I asked for it. Getting a place that does this is quite rare nowadays, so this was a pleasant surprise. If you'd press down even a little bit on this - you'd get a bunch of juice leaking out throughout the plate. The meat was really tender and had a ton of fat to it - making each bite immensely flavorful Second, the crust on this was incredible. The browning due to the sear was throughout the entire steak, with not a single missing spot. Thirdly, the seasoning on this was perfect. The garlic butter was plentiful throughout the top and even on the sides of the meat. Also, the salt levels were basically perfect - salty but not overly so. No other seasonings were necessary. Cutting with a fork and knife was very clean - there wasn't a lot of pulling apart.

I got a filet mignon the day before trying this, and I have to say this steak was so much better than that one The shrimp, for a small extra price, were also quite good and seasoned well. Even the mashed potatoes were really good and had a ton of butter to them - although I wasn't able to finish these

The value of getting a ribeye at this price, for around 25-30 dollars, was really good.

Overall, maybe the best steak I've had, with good sides and at a great...

I love Chili's but haven't been in forever!

We went to try that 3 for me deal! Lots of options, and I really liked that.

Our server at the bar was friendly and really patient. He made us laugh a bit during our time together.

Food was good, although I wish the burger patty was a little thicker, I was still satisfied.

The drinks were good too. I'd return for sure!

Our favorite location on this side of town. Our server was really down to earth. Took his time with us, and was really accommodating. Love the way the team works together! Everyone is happy to help!

Tried something different on the 3 for me this time! I noticed the Margarita upgrade was changed to only the Margarita of the month. Which was good, however I was ready for the house instead. I think you can still get house i didn't ask.

We like the soup, I like the salad! Helps me eat my veggies! The steak was good, filling, and I'd do it again. What I also loved was that I had a little sweet tooth and there's a dessert you can add. It's not too big, can share if you don't want too much sweet.

Ultimately, I'd do it again, and we'll see yall...
