Ramona: a bowl of Chili and Caesar salad, iced tea, paradise pie
Jim: Mushroom Swiss burger, iced tea, fudge brownie w/ ice cream
Of all the times I've been to Chili's over the last twenty years, I don't remember ever ordering their chili, so I decided to try it. I'm sorry I did; I think it would have been just as good if I had opened a can of chili from the grocery store. But it inspired me to dig out my own recipe and make a pot of Santa Fe Stew a few days later. The paradise pie was very good, but I couldn't eat it all. It had coconut in it, so I couldn't share it with Jim.
Jim was disappointed in his burger also; it had mayonnaise and pickles on it. He sent it back for a new bun, one without the mayo, etc. When it came back, the cheese was gone as well. But he finished it off anyway. He was more restrained than I was in his dessert selection, having one of their little mini dessert shots.

Ramona: Margarita chicken, iced tea
Jim: Shrimp Alfredo, iced tea
We were a little pressed for time, since we had some errends to run before our campaign meeting at 6:30, so Chili's was the perfect choice.
The service was quick, and the food was delicious, the portions were just right, and our waiter kept us in ice tea and lemons very nicely.

Ramona & Jim shared: Combo fajitas (chicken and steak, peppers, onions, rice, beans, with sour cream, cheese, guacamole, and pico de gallo, cheesecake, iced tea
We had a wonderful, leisurely weekend, and decided at the last minute not to cook. We haven't been to Chili's in a couple of months, so we headed there.
It seems as if every time we go to Chili's they have a new menu. It doesn't seem to change much, just the graphics.
This dish was especially good this time. It was the perfect amount for sharing. We each had four tortillas, but did not need all of them.
The service was good, even though we had to endure a 15 minute birthday celebration by the wait staff in our room. There were clowns, jugglers, a giant chili pepper on stilts, a magician, and a fire eater. I exaggerate. Oh, well, I guess they had a good time.
The dessert was a large slice of cheesecake with raspberry sauce.
It was the 234th weekly anniversary of our wedding, so we had to celebrate!

Ramona: Top-shelf, giant, double margarita, Rack of ribs
Jim: Mushroom Swiss burger and fries, iced tea (some ribs).
Great place for a quick meal when we don't feel like cooking. I have not had an actual hamburger in ages, so I got one here. It was a good size, but not so big I could not hold and eat. Some burgers in this town are HUGE -- Chili's is the perfect size for me. I also helped Ramona with her ribs. The meet was tender and juicy, but Sticky Fingers in Charleston, SC has ruined me for anyone else's ribs. Ramona thought they were great. We will be going to Charleston in November, so we are looking forward to SF and two other restaurants there we like.
One problem this visit to Chili's. Twice I asked for mustard for my french fries. Yes, I know, it's weird, but I love mustard, and I love it on fries. Not a big deal, just a minor annoyance. We made a small deduction from the tip.

Ramona: Guiltless salmon, sauteed veggies, iced tea
Jim: Shrimp Alfredo, iced tea
Shared: White chocolate molten cake
We were headed to the polls for caucus on election night, so we needed a quick, filling dinner. Chili's was perfect. Both dishes were excellent, and the dessert was a new one, so we had to try it. The cake was moist and warm, the ice cream was coated with a crunchy, white chocolate shell, and the plate was decorated with raspberry sauce and shaved white chocolate. Super yums!

Ramona: Magarita (2!), Margarita Grilled Chicken
Jim: Steak and Portobello fajitas, red & green peppers, onions, cheese, sour cream, chopped tomatoes, iced tea, & we shared chocolate molten cake with vanilla ice cream.
Always reliable, we arrived just minutes before the dinner rush, and it was a good thing, because the waiting area quickly filled. Curiously, there were a lot of empty tables, but we still had to wait about 20 minutes. Even our waitress complained they were not filling two of her tables. The top shelf margaritas Ramona had were good, but she and my son complained that the side dishes were lukewarm at best. My fajitas were sizzling, and I am not a real big fan of scalding hot food anyway. All in all a pretty good place for a simple dinner or a late night snack.
