After picking Megan up from Sarah in Silsbee and was STARVING... okay, not starving, but pretty on the hungry side so, since Chili's was conviently located right there in the corner of the Wal-Mart parking lot, we head in that direction.
We go in, its about 2:30pm on a Friday, and we are immediately seated. "Hhmmmm..." I'm thinking to myself, "this is out of the ordinary. Maybe, just maybe, this will be a good visit."
Our waitress comes up pretty quick, we place our drink order and ask for a few moments to look over the menu, which they're updated and CLEANED! Everytime I've gone and wanted something, I get a "Sorry, that's not on our menu any longer." Uummmmm, I'm looking right at it, it is on your menu. Or the menu is covered in crusty nastiness which is beyond me seeing as how the menus are picked up before the food arrives at the table.
The waitress comes back and right as we're going to tell her what we want, she goes, "I'll be right back..." Ooooookay... She does, eventually, come back and (by then Megan's glass of lemonade is empty and at the edge of the table), quickly order, before she runs off again.
We order the 2 for $20 deal. To share and appeteezer and then the two full meals. I've always understood, correct me if I'm wrong, that the appeteezer is just that...a dish that's supposed to tease your appetite, get you ready for the meal.
Oooohhhh... and Megan's drink still hasn't been filled. I even share a bit of mine with her. The other waitress, who is cleaning a table next to us, asks if we need anything and we tell her the drink needs to be filled. She hollers, yes hollers to our waitress, who is talking to a couple with a baby across the non-smoking section, and tells her we need a refill.
Our waitress proceeds to fill waters and teas and even a coffee and a beer and we still have no refills, I'm out by this time too. Its been 25 minutes since we ordered and our appeteezer has not arrived, either... (which is only a half order of Texas Style Cheese Fries).
The manager ends up coming by and filling it for us... thanks man! I hope you "spoke" with your waitress. Just saying...
Our appeteezer arrives... a whole 35 minutes after we placed our order. Now get this, one couple has come in after us...only ONE...they got their food before us...they got their ticket before us...they left 15 minutes before we did.
Not three minutes after we got this small plate that "if we touch it, it wiiiiill buuuuurrrn." (Much sarcasm from the waitress)
Megan needs another refill...forget it...
The food was good and I'm mean just a simple good.
Megan needs a to-go back, she asks for "one" and the waitress looks in my direction, "Do you need one, too?" Sweet pea, if you'll take 1/2 a second and look at my plate, you'll see that I have, literally, two to three bites left. No. I do not need a to-go box. Thanks for asking, though. Nice to see you're taking care of us.
Needless to say, she received no tip! And I will not be going back to Chili's in the future!
