"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!

"funnel cake fries were the best part, not just because they usually ate but because they were fresh. bacc9n on the sandwich was barely cooked. the chicken was chewy like it had been under a heater for the day. the chicken bites were good but only 4 tiny pieces (hardly would be enough for a kid if they weren't hungry and the fries were cold while all the other food was hot. usually, I like Rallys but this was dissapointing"

"Always amazing! The 6 pc Chicken Wings Meal wings were a little smaller than usual but tbh that's the economy so it's cool. The veggies are always crunchy and the breadsticks are nice and soft. 10/10 :)"
"I always get the epic chicken and rice bowl, in fact 15 times and it's always been great that's why I reorder. Tonight it wasn't great. The rice was very old tasting, hardly any sweet chili sauce which I love the sauce and less chicken than normal. The sauce was barely over the chicken - I'll order again hoping to have a better bowl because 14 of them have been great. The rice is clumpy and not really edible
I think if it had sauce on it, it would have tasted better. I'm not going to send this to everyone just to the store so they can hopefully tell the cook"

"SOOOOO good and they gave me extra chicken! the fries were kinda cold when they came but tbh it was still rlly good my go to order frfr "
"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."

"For the price, these portions are awesome. The 3 PIECE BATTERED FISH & CHIPS was huge and honestly could be split between two people. They were generous with the TARTAR SAUCE . The FIRE ROASTED STREET CORN wasn't very fiery but lovers of Elote will still like it, I mixed it with some ranch and it was *chefs kiss*. Yeah these guys are bangin', eat here if you like fish <3"
"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. Far better deals around town than this."

"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. "
