Chili's Grill & Bar — Restaurant in McAllen

I wanted to treat my son to a burger at Chili's on Nolana Loop, just a few blocks west of McColl Rd. Once seated we placed our drink order and also ordered a sampler platter. You choose three items from a list offered. We decided on fried cheese, buffalo wings (bone-in), and the southwest egg rolls. The fried cheese is two squares of breaded mozzarella,and comes with a wanna be Marina sauce. The egg rolls have black beans, corn, and red peppers stuffed inside, and served with an avocado ranch sauce. The rolls have a decent balance of flavors that pairs well with the sauce. The wings are the traditional buffalo and served with ranch. My son ordered the bacon burger, I ordered the buffalo chicken salad. He loved his burger, he practically inhaled it. My salad was lame, first it didn't come with the blue cheese crumbles that were in the menu description, nor was the chicken dipped or coated with buffalo sauce, just plain ole fried chicken breast cut into strips. So the only components on my salad were lettuce mix(pre-dressed), tortilla strips,a few bacon bits and the chicken, Boring! I asked my server about the missing components and she returned promptly with both, but this did little to help an already weak salad. A few grape tomatoes , red onion rings, and maybe some Avocado would have made a huge difference. The prices at Chili's are reasonable but for a $12 dollar salad it could have been a lot better. Next time I go I'll...

Our order was good. Food was great. Waitress was kind, But let me let you in on some advice. If you are at a restaurant or workplace of a family member or friend. You need to be kind and respectful . Let me tell you what happened we were in the dining area and there was a booth in the bar area that were either employees or friends of employees. These girls were loud like teenage girls loud. We couldn’t hear our server they were so loud. The reason we think they were employees was because other employees would stop by and sit with them to chat. And another reason we think they were related or dating an employee was because one girl yelled out to the bartender “Hey Babe!” And he turned around and motioned with his finger over his mouth as in to be quiet. Point being is that when someone you know is at your place of work number one rule they should know is to be respectful. The actions your friend or family has at your workplace reflects on...

My family decided to dine here cause I indicated that the server at the bar was awesome. Arrived to find out that the bar section was full which where are server worked so we sat at the restaurant area. Are server started fine but once we received are meal it was down hill from there. First I order a beer with a bowl of limes on the side...didn’t get it. I had to go to the bar section & request it. Second the kids meal small cheese burgers (sliders) came without the cheese. My burger meat was toasty. Requested desert. Told it would be five minutes & 20 minutes later...still waiting. The excuse we got...system down....If you say so....had a coupon for free chips, salsa & a non alcohol drink...credit chips but not the soda. Try to get the server to correct but after 20 plus minutes waiting I pretty much just ate the cost.... So...
