It's probably been 10 years since I last ate at this Chili's on Erie Boulevard East. I wish I hadn't waited so long to return because I had a great lunch. I decided on the 3-for-lunch special. It included a beverage, starter, and main, all for $10.99. I ordered a diet Coke which was delivered in a Stein with a requested slice of lime. Chips and salsa served as the starter, included enough chips for two hungry people. I did finish most of the salsa which was fresh with good tomato flavor and a slow growing mild heat. The starter kept me busy until my Big Smashburger with Fries arrived. The burger was supported on a delicious toasted brioche roll by shredded lettuce, diced red onion, wonderful large pickle slices, and a hamburger sauce consisting of mayo/ketchup and seasoning. The burger was substantial. A bit crusty on the outside as a smashburger should be, and juicy and perfectly cooked on the inside. It was topped with cheese. This was among the best burgers I've ever had in Syracuse. The french fries were good. Overall, an incredible lunch for an incredible price. The service was friendly and efficient. While waiting for an opportunity to request the check, I discovered that the screen of an electronic unit on the table encouraging me to play a video game could be refreshed to show my bill. I used this to pay. I plan to return soon.

This is just as much of a shock to me! Historically my visits here have been nothing short of excellent. On this day however, Chili's did not bring their A game. While I try to be the first to defend any hard working associates in retail and dining what we observed makes you question how this place is managed. When we arrived we instantly notices how dead the restaurant was. Almost totally empty! We were greeted by 2 to 3 associates as we walked in. To our surprise they instantly seated us directly next to the 4 other families in the restaurant. In a busy restaurant you would expect this but when you are practically empty and the risk of Covid is still very real its surprising that the establishment didn't space out their customers. So we are seated... and waiting... watching... We only see one server running around waiting on the handful of customers clustered together in the dining room. I'm also watching 4 associates standing up front folding shirts and socializing. Part of me wants to say "good for you" after what was probably a busy holiday weekend but at the some time one of them could have taken our drink order. Food was good! Our server was great (while having no help) but common sense was lacking. Our picture shows how empty they were. just behind us were the 3 or 4 other tables just clustered in the corner.

So the first time I showed up no one was there to seat us and I was upset they complemented me with a 20 dollar gift card so we decided to go back and it was not the greatest we got in the person who sat us brought a kids menu then said oh you need menus I'll be right back never came back and then our server came over and ask if we could start with drinks and my fiance said sure can we get menus and she was like omg yes and went and got them and said she would be right back so we could look when she returned we ordered also seeing there was a party right next to us with 4 rows long and they were all catering to them so we ordered quick we waited a while and then the cook I believe or bus boy brought out our food and then left we ate and the food wasn't all it was hyped to be the ribs were way under cooked and the street corn was well not street corn at all mushy soggy corn the only thing I could say was good was the chicken crispers. Definitely not ever going again the hype and commercials are not what they seem. The salsa was like water the ribs were so dry and the sauce was ketchup and barbecue mixed the garlic bread soggy and nasty it was terrible

So glad I found my favorite spot for quesadillas. They are perfectly seasoned, loaded with flavor and definitely need to be a “bottomless” menu item. The ribs didn’t meet my expectations. The texture and flavor weren’t the best. Of course I enjoyed them for breakfast the next morning but they didn’t deliver when I needed them to. I thought the garlic bread and sweet corn was an awesome touch. Service was 💯
