Chili's - pick a location

Only bringing this up for discussion because their ad just popped up on Pandora.
What happened to this place? At one time, a very long time ago, it used to be good, in comparison to what it is now.
I can remember back in the early 90's, they were decent. Used to have a fairly good grilled chicken pasta dish. And chicken fingers. The last time two time I ate at one was in Dallas at the airport and at the Gonzales location. Everything was frozen. I mean everything. Are they all like that now?
Only thing that is decent that I can get at the airport is the torilla soup and I know that is boiled in a bag.

It has gotten progressively worse over time for sure.
The country fried steak was at one point pretty damn good, it was very mediocre last time I was there.

About 10 yrs ago when I worked on the north shore Chili's was the hangout spot on Wednesday nights. 2 for 1 ritas.

I've had few burgers there before at diff location... Always pretty solid.

been several years since I've been but I recall the food being pretty piss poor. also, people go nuts about their two-for-one beer specials, but I swear those have to be 6 oz glasses they pour them in.

I used to love their southwest eggrolls. I wish I knew who their supplier was.

I gotta say it's been a while since I've been to Chili's, but I do rememeber it being pretty decent for what it was. Much better than Applebees 
But like I said, it's been at least a couple of years, so it could have totally gone downhill

They went to some new chicken breast don't even cook it anymore from what I was told by a manager. I think they basically pass it through a machine like a Quizno sandwich. Starting to remind me of a fast food restaurant with an overpriced bill.

Had to buy a box of 400 I believe.
Really didn't want a box of 400

Anyone ever seen the movie "Hall Pass"? It shows what Chilis used to be perceived as compared to what it is now.
(Now - frozen food and horrible clientele)

There was a time....
I do like their chips and salsa with a cold beer.
Maybe three.

if you place an order to go at the millerville location
add 40 minutes to the time they tell you
and be prepared for it to be incorrect

Chili's is crap, but I was there a few weeks ago and had a club sandwich that was actually not terrible.

One of my best friends manages the Chili's in Laplace, and he maintains a very high standard. That's the only one I'll eat at.

I used your love their baby back ribs.
The last time I hit them I was disappointed, but I thought that might have been because of the location.
The Monterey chicken is good too.
