Chili's

Chili's

Chili's is a national chain of grill and bar restaurants with a Southwestern flair. There are other locations throughout Orange County in Irvine, Yorba Linda, Orange, Huntington Beach, Foothill Ranch, Buena Park, Mission Viejo, and Aliso Viejo. We went to La Habra location for dinner.

We had a 10-minute wait to be seated. We were seated in a comfortable booth near the middle of the restaurant. The decor is eclectic, with street signs, pictures, and other interesting items. It somewhat similar to a TGI Friday's.

Our waiter took our drink orders and brought them to us rather quickly. We had already looked at the menu while waiting to be seated and ordered. My friends ordered the Chili's Classic Sirloin and the Grilled Chicken Sandwich, and I chose the Flame Grilled Ribeye. We chose the Skillet Queso as an appetizer.

The Skillet Queso appetizer arrived shortly thereafter. It's a warm cheese dip with seasoned beef served in a warm iron skillet. It's served with tostada chips. It's a very savory and cheesy, if fattening appetizer. All of us polished it off in a few moments.

A while later, our entrees arrived. My friend's Grilled Chicken Sandwich looked very good. It made of marinated grilled chicken, applewood smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, Swiss cheese, and honey mustard dressing served on a warm bun. My friend said it was very good and the bacon's smoky flavor made it that much better. It's served with steak fries.

My other friend's Chili's Classic Sirloin is a seasoned 8 ounce sirloin, with savory steak butter and herb au jus sauce. It's served with garlic toast and cheesy mashed potatoes and steamed veggies. My friend had his prepared medium and loved every bite of it. The savory steak butter really enhanced the flavor.

My Flame Grilled Ribeye is a seasoned 12 ounce ribeye steak topped with garlic butter and roasted au jus. It also came with garlic toast, cheesy mashed potatoes and steamed veggies. I had my ribeye prepared medium rare. It was very juicy and tasty. The garlic butter gave it a rich buttery taste.

We easily polished off our entrees and were ready for dessert. We chose to share the Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie. It arrived moments later. The Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie is a warm chewy chocolate chip cookie bar with walnuts and coconut. It's topped with vanilla ice cream drizzled with hot fudge and caramel. We made short work of it. The coconut and walnuts really brings out the flavor of the cookie bar.

Our total bill with the appetizer, 3 dinners, dessert, and 2 sodas was $61. Not too bad for a nice satisfying dining experience. We've been to other Chili's before and the food is consistently good from location to location. It's not the best steak I've ever had, but nowhere near the worst. It's good food at an affordable price in a fun, yet relaxing atmosphere.
