Always loved Chili's, but this location was the worst! Thankfully they've really picked things up. Service is so much better and the new menu has a lot of tasty (and healthy) options. We've had consistent service the last 3 times we've visited. Welcome back Saxon Blvd Chili's!!

I love this place and that were kids always ask me to go to in our family nights. Unfortunately their drinks are getting more and more watery and this is no go for me. Other than that I will highly recommend!

I bought a couple appetizers last night at the curb side ordering service. Never again. The food tasted old and so very obviously nuked. I can do that at home and for far less money.

I haven't been big on eating at chain restaurants for reasons that include over priced, sub tasting food, and poor service. I'm not a blogger in any fashion; but let it be known that this Chili's experience was amazing. Had the Bottomless soup and salad. Southwest Chicken was perfect and salad was great. The server was wonderful.

Just had a perfect meal served by Brett. Very proactive. Never had to ask for anything. Best experience since last had Seth as a server. If you go, ask for either Brett or Seth.

The place was packed due to Cinco de mayo, which I'm sure this isn't their first cinco de mayo, however they had 1 bartender on. She was taking care of all the serving staff orders and trying to run the bar. Needless to say, people at the bar were waiting for 10 minutes plus to get a drink, and so leaving. Don't get me wrong she was doing her best, but the genius who scheduled 1 bartender on one of the busiest drinking days should be fired. So dirty dishes and glasses were strewn on every surface behind the bar for over an hour. It was like a wasteland. I have the pictures to prove it. The food was good when it came no faults there. My last shot at chilis is the 2 for 1 margaritas. As it's cinco de mayo these should be good. Otherwise it's an insult right? Well they weren't. They were watered down and had less alcohol in them than the tap water. I didn't even want my second one. I didn't come out to drink juice. Shame on you chilis. It was like a lemon and lime juice. Needless to say I was disappointed

We made a pit stop while on the way back from a trip to Mt. Dora. I give Chili's a lot of credit for being consistent. You could eat at 50 different Chili's restaurants and its the same experience. We liked our server as he was a fellow runner and we chatted about that. What made this experience better than a regular visit to Chili's as they had the table top screens that we could use to add items and pay our bill without waiting on the server which speeds up our time when in a rush. Good Job to Chli's and the company who created those machines. Should be at every casual dining place.

I really like this Chili's it's close to home. The drinks are cold and delicious. The food is always what you would expect from a good Chili's. The staff is always courteous and friendly. My only complaint about Chili's in general (not just this one) is there's too much junk on their tables. Stuff always ends up on the floor or on another table. FIX THIS CHILI'S PLEASE.

We were a big family that stopped here for a late lunch on our way home after a visit to Daytona Beach. The food & atmosphere were good, which is typical for Chili's. But, our server, Deb, was top-notch. She was very attentive to all our needs (we sat at separate tables). She had a very upbeat personality. All servers should strive to be like Deb!

The service was okay nothing to brag about the food was delicious tho. I don't normally eat spicy food and told the waiter that and he seemed annoyed that I asked him to please give me the meal without hot peppers. He brought my food out with peppers anyways and I was so hungry that I ate it . Ended up having horrible stomach aches and throwing up ... Waiter was horrible but the food that I ate even tho spicy was good. I recommend chilis just not this chilis

Chili's in orange city is always packed but surprisingly there is never a wait. The food and service has also never suffered despite how busy they get. That shows that this Chili's knows how to operate and treat customers. I ordered a 10z sirloin with mashed potatoes and broccoli. It was cooked correctly- medium rare - and the mashed potatoes were really good. I appreciated how quickly the food arrived at our table. If you're looking for consistency and decent food, Chili's never disappoints.

Typical Chillis, they have improved their menu and have a larger selection of items. Overall the food was good. Service was ok not fast or slow but could have been faster since at the time we went it was half empty. Did not like the fact that the Makers was not 2-1 happy hour.

It's Chili's... The server was responsive and pleasant and the atmosphere is calibrated with corporate precision to be pleasant for the broadest audience possible. My steak was cooked to order, but had a strangely "enhanced" beef taste that I would call "chemical marinate." The broccoli was nicely cooked. The "skillet mashed potatoes" were good. They were clearly from a box, but none the less, very good boxed mashed potatoes. All in all, three stars in its class. Don't come here expecting anything spectacular. It's good chain food with good service.

My first trip as a Yelper to this Chili's location was on a date night with my husband. It was rather late, probably about 8pm when we arrived. The food was great, no complaints in that department at all! The problem we had was with our waitress. She acted as if we stopped her from going home or maybe she just had enough of dealing with people for the night. She didn't have a pleasant attitude, was very straight forward, and didn't spend much time on us. Anyway, I said something to Chili's management without pointing out who the waitress was. I was hoping for a team meeting rather than getting someone into trouble. They offered for us to come back on their dime. Our next visit was a much better one. We were greeted with a pleasant host and a waitress with a positive attitude. Our food on this visit was just as good as the last visit. I wouldn't hesitate to come back. After all, the 2 for $20 menu is perfect for our date night. Tip! Try the Mango Margarita rimmed with sugar and zest! Amazing!

Only thing good at this place is there presidente margaritas & that's only if u tell them not to over do the sour mix. Oh there chips r thin & salty & I like that. But they always get our orders wrong, or the a/c isn't working or it take an hour to get ur food & it's not even crowded.

I have to say that I LOVE Chili's--I just don't like this location very much. I've tried ordering steak from this location a few times, and it's never turned out great. The last time they brought out my first steak completely over cooked, and I mean it was noticeably wayyy over done. The second time the cow was still kicking. The manager came out and said "would you like me to have them make you a third steak?". Uhmmmm, what do you think? Not so much dude. I appreciate the friendly service, but the steak sucks. I know it's a chain restaurant, and I shouldn't have such high expectations, but I really wanted a freaking steak. I'll go back for chips and salsa at the bar!

Terrible service; not by the waitress, but the kitchen. Party of 10, took over an hour to get the food. It wasn't hot, it wasn't fresh, it was awful. Granted the kitchen manager was very sorry, accepted responsibility, and comped everything. Won't go back.

Giving them one star is one start too many! I usually like Chili's restaurant's, granted they may not be my first choice on the list but I do like them. However, at this location it is horrible!!! Back in the day when it was the only location around it was good. Now though that it has another chain in DeLand as well as other competition they are disgusting. The food is mediocre and for the past 2 months their chips for the queso have been horrid! Constantly dark and oily, its like they don't change their fryer grease or use a different fryer for their chips. Also, just last weekend 01/08/12 I ordered the boneless buffalo wings, which came after they delivered everyone else's food, they told me that they were waiting on the wings, when they did finally come out they were stone cold! Straight through the middle, cold. I returned them to have them fire a new order, nope. Instead they just threw them in the microwave or the fryer again because when they cam back out they were not only hot but they were so hard that the knife they gave me to use, wouldn't cut through them!! I've had so many problems with just this location it's pathetic. It's not the waitress, waiter's or hostess that is the problem, they're great! However, the management and the kitchen staff is a joke. I've worked in the food industry and I would be ashamed if I not only worked in that kind of business but if I ran a business like that. The only reason they make any kind of money is because of their drink specials. I will never return to this location again. The good service does not make up for the atrocious food and rude management. Stay away!

Not a fan of chili's or this type of restaurant at all, but was looking for a bar close to my buddy's house. He said he goes here allot. Good bar crowd on a Friday nite, This guy next to me was eating a country fried steak or something like that, which looks like fried chicken but its steak. Never tried that but it was great . The bonus was this bar does 2 for 1 drinks all the time. Drafts, and mixed drinks. So i was drinking two stolis for 5.50 ,
Sorry, Store hours have not been updated. If you are the owner of this restaurants. Please update the store hours.
