Chili's Grill & Bar 3494 Sports Arena Boulevard, San Diego, CA 92110

"I have been to this location many times, and it is usually a satisfactory experience. Actually I have had fun there before, as a nice happy hour before the Gull's games. But, after this last time 3 nights ago, I will never be going back again. I sat at the bar, which was about 1/2 full. Just FYI, I have been a server, bartender, and event caterer for over 18 years now. I could tell right away that, on this night, the place was not only being poorly managed, but that the bartender hated her job. I could see many other patrons waiting with empty drinks, or waiting to order, or waiting to pay, but she was the slowest moving bartender I have ever seen. Not only that, but she had this scowl on her face the entire time. After at least 12 minutes of sitting there, she finally dropped a few menus sloppily and asked what I would like to drink. I ordered the same thing I always have, dozens and dozens of times at Chili's, for the last 25 years... a beer and a margarita. She said I that I have to order one drink at a time. Whether this is a new policy (I doubt), or just this particular person's feelings, is irrelevant. The beer took forever to arrive, and I never saw the margarita. In fact, I never saw a water refill, or plates or napkins for the apps, or the bartender in general for the rest of the hour I was there. She was right there, behind the bar, slowly making well drinks while ignoring most of the bar, and especially me. I have seen bartenders in the weeds before, and this was not the case. She looked like she personally hated everyone, or her job, or both. On its own, that would be ok I guess. But the horrendous sloth-like movement and complete disregard for service of any kind was the deal-breaker for me. I guess I will be going to Red Lobster for the next happy hour on Sports Arena."

"Very good service, very friendly staff, excellent food, I had a pleasant and special time with my boyfriend, highly recommended.We will return to celebrate my birthday....."

"Chili's (to me) is one of the better diners but still pretty basic. The service here was pretty good. The chicken crispers are my favorite. The burger was mid. The bbq ribs were...decent, but only when comparing it to other diners like Chili's."

"This location has now become my favorite. Great, accurate food, there's usually not too long of a wait and the staff is super friendly! Love the drink selection too! Ample parking on-site."
