"This burger is still one of my favs and Chili's didn't disappoint with how big the burger was. The brisket was tender, flavorful, and there was plenty of it between the buns. The burger was mouth-watering and satisfied my taste buds. The fries were crispy and Chili's cooked it perfectly. Will order again. By the way, you can share this meal with another. "
"I have ordered several different dishes from here & many times. I keep coming back to get delivery too, as I havent been disappointed yet. My favorite is the crispy chicken sandwich & the queso dip w salsa (comes with a HUGE bag of fresh tortilla chils to heal up & warm quickly in the microwave). I also love their potato soup & more recently the white cheddar mac'n'cheese.
My Mom loves their chicken bacon ranch quesadilla. Everything is prepared well & always hot, fresh and crunchy. The only thing I didnt care for was the corn on the cob as it was a bit overcooked for my liking.
Still 5 stars!

"It was so delicious. I will ordering it again soon so I can do a review on tiktok. It was flavorful, yet not over powering. Even though the burber was well done, it was still juicy. The cheese was melted perfectly with the right amount of sauce, and mushrooms. The bacon I ordered on the side truly shined on it's own on the burger, but so did everything else. They all worked well. "
"Great new options good portions for the prices and excellent packaging! Awesome service all the way around. Thank you Applebees. I would order again and again"

"They are consistent with paying attention to my modification requests (no onions), which is very appreciated. This time the fries were even still super hot :D"
"I ordered a Egg McMuffin® Meal but received a sausage McMuffin meal. I ordered ketchup and received no ketchup. My favorite breakfast item from McDonald is their orange juice however this one was as if they were out, so they put a little in the cup and added water. It was horrible! The side of bacon was two small pieces of a piece of bacon not even a whole piece. So disappointing!"

"This was best meal I have ever had from Outback.
Sunday a 9:30 pm order too!
Everything was delicious and perfect!
The steak seasoned perfectly and has a wonder char on the outside. It cut with a butter knife so easily.
The wedge salad had ample onions, blue cheese chunks - it was delicious.
The potato had plenty of my requested toppings, lots of chives, the extra sour cream i clicked and plenty of butter.
I ate every morsel.
It was worth every penny and then some.
Kiss the Chef. It all arrived still hot as well "
"Mushy broccoli again. This is the tiniest 6 oz sirloin I've ever seen and my dad and I order from Outback once a week. The steak is very tough and chewy this time. But I chanced it with the cheap Outback Center-Cut Sirloin* rather than the much more expensive ribeye, New York or filet. But we do actually share a 6 oz steak and shrimp and scallops and it always seems like a nice enough meal. Tonight was not the night. The meal was alright. "

"Our food was not only poorly made but it was incredibly overpriced for what we received. We asked for the 20 Wings to be cooked extra crispy and they were just rubbery skin and slimy Hawaiian sauce. Just gross. We ordered a large side of carrots and celery and got 3 thick carrot chunks and 3 pieces of celery for almost $7. Maybe it was just the worst employees working that night but we'll never order from here again."

"The food arrived fresh and hot. The best I've ever gotten from here truly. The chow mein had lots of noodles and less cabbage. Usually it has so much cabbage I can't even eat it. The reason I didn't give 5 stars is they did not include sweet n sour sauce for the rangoons. That infuriates me. I need the sauce. I always think twice about ordering the rangoons because chances are they won't include the sauce. "
"Quality has gone downhill and the cuts of meat being used are less than ideal (the teriyaki chicken was slimy and rubbery, fatty bits in the orange chicken, etc) especially for the cost. Just not worth it anymore."

"The special for BOGO free Steak & Shrimp Duo was awesome! The meals were about $13 each with the discount which was less than our drive through lunch order of low quality fast food. It was the perfect portion and was delicious. If it was the full price I may have passed for another item on the menu but will d we'll definitely get this again with other side options they're all yummy! "
"It was pretty obvious it sat under a heat lamp or whatever they use for quite awhile. Salmon was dry, bread like a cracker, etc. With less than 50 percent success the last few times ordering, we've decided we won't use Black Angus again. It's not worth the disappointment for the price."

"The chicken is so good. The seasoning is tasty, the chicken is crispy on the outside moist on the inside. I love the soft bun, the sauce has some sweetness to even out the spice, coleslaw is crisp & fresh and the pickles are the right amount of tang and crunch. Fries are perfect everytime. The portions are generous, this time I ordered 1 slider with fries and it was the perfect amount. Will be ordering again and again."

"The pizza was hot, the Stuffed Crazy Bread™ was good. The wings had great flavor and were really tender but they were really tiny. The Cookie Dough Brownie made with M&M’S® MINIS were tasty but soft like raw soft? I'm a personal fan of cookie dough but just a psa for anyone who has texture problems you may want to microwave them to crisp them up. Overall pretty good for the price and any issues aren't really something the staff can control. Signed a fellow fast food worker :) "

"We used to have delivery from here quite often, but the price of good no longer matches the quality so we will not return. Our salmon was a very thin, very small piece, and the fries were half cooked, mushy and greasy. Terrible and $21. The Dynamite bowl was a child sized portion of shrimp and rice for $18.
