Chilis Grill & Bar - Effingham (IL)

5 /5 Manda B.W.: Our waitress/ she was also the bartender, worked there for 8 years, was BEYOND EXCELLENT. Very nice, warm welcome, gave wonderful suggestions, and loved getting a chance to see a everyday side of a server! We will definitely be back. Tysm

3 /5 Rebecca Dill: I would like to start by saying that our waitress was fantastic. She was the highlight of our 1-night stay in Effingham. Very personable with an overall sweet and kind demeanor. As far as the restaurant, it was fairly clean. We arrived around 9p and there were only a couple of other customers inside. The food was quite disappointing. So much so that even our waitress was surprised. lol Ordered our usual Smokehouse platter with 3 options. Btw, Chili’s…please bring back the corn - it was the best part of y’all’s menu!! Anyway, the chicken strips were old and so dried out I could barely cut it with my knife. I tried to chew through a piece of it but I couldn’t make myself finish it. The fries had been sitting under the light for quite some time as they too were just dry…luckily I smothered them in ketchup and it helped them go down. The sausage was amazing and the quesadillas were fresh and hot. I tried the mac and cheese in place of my usual corn and it was spectacular! May I be so bold to say my new favorite side here??!! Overall, there was enough decent food to not make dinner a complete bust but I think this should be a teachable moment for cooks that you should never serve food to paying customers that you wouldn’t wanna eat yourself. That’s just not cool! Take a little pride in the food you’re preparing and we will most definitely appreciate the effort!

4 /5 Chitra Solomon: Daren was very friendly It was past 8 pm He made fresh coffee for us , with a smile. He made sure that everything was to our requests. Food was not bad. Molten Lava Cake with Vanilla ice cream is a must try

4 /5 Prachi Munjal: Good place ...great service. We had south western egg rolls and steak. Steak was good
