Hey Chili's..Seeing you appear in Merced is like seeing an old high school classmate that you never really gotten close to or knew much at all, but you recognize the name and kind of remember their face... But hey hey, my real friends would laugh at me, but I've visited you more than I can count. You have become one of my go-tos.. why? Not that your food is spectacular (I mean, it's what you would expect from a Chili's).... and it's not even because Merced food scene is subpar... It's simply because...1) Great option when you have a million kids. Cheap, simple, balanced kids meals make all the difference....2) Your "3 for Me" deals. Yes. In a day and age where food prices has gone up, when you have to give up your arm, your leg, and your least favorite child just to eat... this 3 for me deal is the best deal ever. A solid burger, a side AND a drink for like $10-$13? Can't beat it. 3) Free Unlimited Chips - Yes, on top of it all, if you have a chili's account, you generally can get free unlimited chips. Great way to keep the kids busy/happy while waiting for the meal. They are good chips too.Yes, I wouldn't come here for a special occasion, but if it's a weeknight and I need to lug my family of 54 somewhere, you are one of the easiest options there is...So until next time I need to find a place to feed my 423 kids...

Chilis is a real short drive from my job so I had to come visit when I got off. That 3 for me special is just a real hitter. You get an ice cold drink, appetizer, and entree. I sat at the bar and my serve was very attentive and provided good customer service. I enjoyed a fresh cola along with a salad and their limited time only smash burger. Let me start off by saying the salad was laughable. Very small and finished very quickly. Still it was good.The smash burger was pretty good as well. Had that crispy patty crunch and the fries were good as well. You know, it's not the absolute best, but it did alright. For $10.99 it's good.I like the chilis vibe, has a good feel to it. Parking out front is chill. You'll easily find a spot.

Service underrated and steak was majorly undercooked. When asked to bring it up to a med rare, steak was microwaved and brought back a minute later with one side of steak unseared. They need to take more pride in their food and hold their staff accountable. I was left with food poisoning...never plan on returning.

I was hoping that after my last phone call to the manager last Doordash order, that they would stop sending out bad lettuce but ah, contraire. Third salad probably means we won't order again. Come on, people!! DON'T put the containers with cheese, guac and pico de gallo on their sides!!!! What a sickening mess.

Chilis has come to Merced and I gladly welcome a new place to grab some bites and drinks! Located in the Merced Mall plaza and with plenty of parking. They have a full bar with wine, spirits, and beer on tap. Happy Hour is 3-6 M-F and all day on the weekends! The lighting in this store is nice and bright!When my friend and I got here, the wait for a table was 45min. We got a seat at the bar and sat down right away because spots were available. Our server/bartender was Sylvia, who was helpful and attentive.We both ordered margaritas. Mine was the Presidente and my friend ordered the Straw-Eddy'Rita. So delicious!We ordered the Ultimate Cajun Pasta and split that between us. It was a pretty hearty portion so we were happy to split it, plus it was delicious! The menu is pretty typical of a Chili's but the staff were very helpful and kind! I'm looking forward to coming back!

This new location is beautiful from the outside, in the parking lot of the Merced Mall. Went in on a Sunday afternoon with my 10 year old granddaughter. Hostess asked if we wanted a kids menu, which we replied yes. She took us to a table and laid the kids menu down with a crayon. After she left, I realized there was no adult menu for me! I went to the hostess stand and retrieved a menu. Our server came pretty quickly and we ordered drinks and meals. Our drinks never came. Had to ask for them. Finally came. Asked for a straw. Never came. Intercepted her going to another table...my straw?Got our food. Can we get some BBQ sauce. Never came. Finally asked the manager for some. (Told him we have the worst server ever! - he was unphased! No Followup!)The chicken strips were over cooked and could not be easily bitten through. Fries were lukewarm and soggy. Sliders were ordered with meat well done. They made the buns well done and burned. Meat was rare!Server was very inattentive and absent minded! This place has bad mgmt and bad service. It was dirty inside. The new architecture makes the dining area shared with the bar in one large loud room. A 49er football game was on and the bar patrons were very loudly yelling at the game!This was our first AND last visit. It's amazing that Chilis spends millions of dollars building a beautiful new location and then pissing it away with zero caring/talent managers, cooks and servers! It's a common tale...

OMAR!!!! NEEDS TO BE PROMOTED! 10/10! Absolute unit of a server! If it weren't for him, the food would not have been great. Omar did everything as I requested it and Omar has been the best waiter I've ever had in my entire life.

i have been to better Chili's , they would not make us "blended" margaritas, only on the rocks and they rushed us in/out .... will likely not return..... no audience just a loud, crowded rush.
