Why everyone keeps coming back.

Chili's Grill & Bar in Jacksonville, FL, is a vibrant American restaurant and bar that skillfully blends the warmth of family dining with the spirited ambiance of a lively bar & grill. Located conveniently on Baymeadows Road, this spot has earned a loyal following for its diverse Tex-Mex inspired menu and welcoming environment that caters to both casual dinners and vibrant social gatherings.

When it comes to cuisine, Chili's stands out with its flavorful fusion of classic American and Mexican-Tex-Mex favorites. The menu boasts an impressive variety, but the fajitas are undeniably a crowd-pleaser. The Original Trio combines tender steak, juicy chicken, and succulent shrimp, all perfectly grilled alongside sweet bell peppers and onions. Served with fluffy flour tortillas, zesty Mexican rice, black beans, and a rich palette of sides like sour cream, pico de gallo, salsa, and shredded cheese – this dish bursts with layers of fresh, smoky, and savory notes that excite your palate.

The subtle heat from chili spices paired with the sharp bite of Parmesan cheese creates a harmonious balance, all enhanced by the crispy, buttery garlic toast that accompanies each serving. This dish is indulgent and comforting, perfect for those who crave a creamy yet spicy feast.

To conclude your meal on a sweet note, Chili's offers decadent desserts like the skillet-baked Chocolate Chip Cookie, still warm and gooey, topped with vanilla ice cream and drizzled with hot fudge – a divine treat that feels like a warm hug at the end of your dining journey. Or, for chocolate aficionados, the Molten Chocolate Cake with its rich molten center nestled within a crisp chocolate shell, crowned with ice cream and caramel drizzle, is an irresistible finale.

Me and my wife visited this place for dinner, as soon as we entered we were greeted well by the host and made to sit right away. As soon as we sat we had the server come over and ask for drinks. We had a glass of wine and since I’m a vegetarian who eats no eggs, I had this request and the staff was very kind to accommodate the request. I had NICOLE come over and suggest and black bean burger and cheese quesadilla and we ordered it and it was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere is very nice and pleasant. Overall had a very nice experience. Thank you !!!

My wife and I enjoyed the food. The customer service was okay. The waitress was spread kind of thin working several large groups. The wait to be seated only took about 3 minutes. The bar was very packed. And everyone was enjoying themselves! Our food came out in sections and not whole, what I mean is drinks came then my wife's dinner side salad, her meal then appetizers, then my meal, and lastly my wife's fajita bread. Overall the place was clean the staff was over worked and I wouldn't recommend going here right after work on a Friday. ( Sorry for the long review!) Please check out the food pics!

Chicken enchilada soup was delicious! And the steak was cooked medium well to perfection.... so mouth watering. The service was good, I sat at the bar. The atmosphere was cool but someone was having a coughing problem and was still trying to talk to ppl at the bar and someone asked why are u coughing on me, I found that highly rude, disrespectful, and nasty because I'm a germophobe

This has got to be the best chilies in Jacksonville, Florida. The food is always fresh very flavorful. It’s a delight coming here with my family and even for delivery. The food is very fresh like they actually care even though its delivery I might add to the general manager is an amazing guy. I know he probably stresses out seeing me come in with my family of like 10 or more but he always make sure that we are taking care of no matter what I will always come here if I’m in the area thank you so much.

Chilis has the great deals for dinner on a budget! 3 for 11 has some nice options and you can’t go wrong with the 2 for 1 happy hour. Service was ok - our server wasn’t the most attentive but the other server was very sweet and brought over a little sample of chili to try to make sure we would like it (which I don’t recommend). I also think they should ask if you want be charged for the entertainment and not just add it onto the bill. It’s only $3 but it’s just the principle.

It was decent, enjoyed the triple decker or dipper whatever it is named. The pasta not that much though it was decent, but a bit watery for some reason as well tried their $6 mango mambo margarita but oof nothing mango in there taste like a lime margarita more than anything. As well the table where the waitress seated us was dripping water on our table.
