Review
One of the lesser visited restaurants along Route 29 in Fairfax, and rightfully so, Chili’s is anything but a hidden treasure. I won’t pretend I didn’t devour every last bite of their Chicken Ranch sandwich, and I wouldn’t dare naysay such a gloriously blended frozen Mango Margherita; however, the fact of the matter remains, Chili’s general aesthetic–both decoratively and culinarily–leaves a lot to be desired. In fact, the whole dining experience at Chili’s leaves one with an overwhelming feeling of lack, for I have never seen service with such little regard for customer’s desires. You know, like, “I desire to order food now,” “I desire to have napkins now,” and even, “I desire to pay you for your (lack of) services now.” The bartender, playing waiter, playing busboy, playing bartender was about the only useful character in the joint. Now, I know I said T.G.I. Friday’s could have used some work in the customer service department, but Chili’s seems to be giving them a run for their money. On the bright side, if I’m ever looking for nothing more than a cold buzz, Chili’s is where I will be headed.
