Chili's - West Dundee

We recently visited Chili's after not going there for a few years. The chips were a bit salty but tasty, and they were quite hard to eat, so we requested a refill. The highlight of our meal was the Chipotle Black Bean Veggie Burger, which was absolutely delicious and quite filling. I had mine with avocado and various toppings, making it incredibly hearty. If we return, I wouldn't hesitate to order this burger again. I rated the experience 4 stars instead of 5 due to the slower service. I understand we went during a busy time, but I felt sympathetic for the waiter who was running around to serve everyone. I also wish they had a better selection of beer options.

The ribs were a standout dish. The server suggested some vegetarian options, and I opted for the black bean patty on a Guacamolburger. It was a bit chaotic, but the service was quick and friendly. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with many families dining there.

My wife and I both opted for the meal for two deal, choosing the 6oz Sirloin. Each steak was cooked perfectly to our individual preferences. We also ordered loaded potatoes and extra vegetables—roasted asparagus for me and extra broccoli for my wife. The vegetables were crisp and flavorful, unlike the soggy offerings you sometimes find at other places. For dessert, we enjoyed the cheesecake, which was delicious and topped with a generous strawberry sauce that beautifully decorated the plate. When it came time to pay the bill, we used the kiosk at our table, where the slider on the screen made it easy to calculate an appropriate tip for our server. Overall, it was a very enjoyable meal with excellent service.

The Quesadilla Explosion Salad was phenomenal and the waitress was extremely helpful.

Presentation is getting better. All types of drinks taste good and refreshing. The wait time can be tedious. Sometimes you forget that you ordered food by the 3rd drink but it's always gives a me a small surprise when the food arrived. Good smells everywhere.
