Chili's Restaurant in St. Lucie West - A Review

I'm in college and most of the meals I eat are usually out. I actually enjoy eating out because it saves on having to buy groceries and it also saves on clean-up. Chain restaurants are the basically all there is on the Treasure Coast in Florida. That's not to say there aren't little privately owned restaurants that are enjoyable places to eat, there just aren't many of them. One restaurant that enjoy in particular in the Chili's Restaurant in St. Lucie West. If you've never heard of Chili's, think back to those baby-back ribs commercials from a few years ago where restaurant employees wanted their "baby back...with barbeque sauce."

Atmosphere:
The atmosphere in Chili's is simple. Since most of their dishes revolve around the American southwest, their decor matches. There are plenty of vintage advertisements for chilli cook offs and the like. The tables are decorated with tiles that match Native American art patterns of the American southwest. The restaurant is also quite spacious. The tables are all lined up against walls which allows for clear walking paths and keeps the place looking uncluttered.

Service:
The service at Chili's is always a pleasure. The employees seem to genuinely like working where they're working. The service is also speedy and reliable. Only a few times have I been to the Chili's in St. Lucie West where the service lagged a bit, but that was at peak business hour and that's what one would expect during that time of day. The orders are never messed up either. If you order something, then that is what you're going to get without any confusion.

Food and Price:
Chili's is famous for their fajitas. My favorite fajita is the chicken and shrimp fajita. It is served with enough tortillas that you don't have to keep asking for more. It is also served with peppers, salsa, cheese, lettuce and all the other works that go on a fajita. It is served on the same skillet it is cooked on, so it always comes to the table piping hot. Chili's is also known for their "El Presidente Margarita" which is the usual margarita, but with brandy mixed in so that it is a rather smooth drink. One can have a whole meal at Chili's for the price of twenty dollars and some change.

Overall:
I highly recommend that if anyone in St. Lucie West is looking for a place to eat, then Chili's is that place. There isn't anything that will be disappointing, except maybe having to wait a while to actually get into the restaurant, but once again, that is only at peak times of business.
