Food is Great, App is Terrible

Chili’s is good. App is bad
Can’t stay logged in. Trouble searching/selecting location. Buying a product shouldn’t be this hard.
★★★★ SD914 6/24/2026 v8.4.0
Terrible
The app NEVER lets me select a location to be able to place an order online. WTH!
★★★★ chilimuffin 6/24/2026 v8.3.9
Fix your app
Please fix your app, it can’t find locations or log me into my account to order. So then I went into the restaurant to order at an off peak time and nobody is here to take my order. Not cool chilis!
★★★★ Beicowoxiwhsks 6/21/2026 v8.3.9
What did you do!!!
Before the update my account info and rewards were on there. Now after the update I tried logging in and it says “having difficulty pulling up your account. Try again later”.
What the hell?!?!
★★★★ Pknj099 6/19/2026 v8.3.9
App never works!
The app always has issues- can never login or order from it !!
★★★★ Armyvet09 6/16/2026 v8.3.8
Can’t find store or account
Before the update I could log into my account now I can’t log into my account. It says it can’t find it and it can’t find the chilis that is right down the street from me. It says no location is near me and that is a complete lie. Ugh please fix this issue. I see everyone is having the same problem.
★★★★ Samsin420 6/15/2026 v8.3.8
Works when it wants to and thats not often.
App is just not that good. Either the restaurant is blocking orders or the payment processor is garbage. Either way, you got a 50/50 chance of placing a successful dinner order.
★★★★ rtyqwe329 6/15/2026 v8.3.8
Won’t Find Restaurant
App won’t load restaurants I guess you don’t want my money?

Update
This app needs a major update. It rarely works.
★★★★ ZucchiniSuddon 6/12/2026 v8.3.8
App doesn’t work
Sometimes app can’t find a store. It also won’t let me order. Keeps putting up an error message talking about recaptcha provider not registered.
★★★★ MRS_ESTERHOUSE 6/11/2026 v8.3.8
Can’t sign up
Won’t allow me to find a Chili’s
★★★★ Ops Thought 6/11/2026 v8.3.8
Food sickness and overcharged
The food got us all 4 sick soon after we left with abdominal pain that lasted 12 hours. Went back to get overcharged by $80 due to waiter adding dishes we never ordered. It was covering the wrong 3 dishes we asked to be corrected. Manager said she would correct and never did at Diamond Bar Chili’s.

App is broken
Can’t order food in it. Also cannot sign in
★★★★ KuronoKei2007 6/6/2026 v8.3.8
Not working since last update
Since the last update the location choice no longer works. Every time I want to put an order in I have to delete and reinstall the application to choose a restaurant.
★★★★ Survivorfan95 6/5/2026 v8.3.8
Fix the app!
App doesn’t work and can’t order and sometimes can’t even log in to my account.
★★★★ NeoNick2k 6/5/2026 v8.3.8
App doesn’t work
Every day now I can’t order from the app. Can’t pick a location. Rewards aren’t available. Fix the app.
★★★★ asdfdas 6/4/2026 v8.3.8
App so bad I couldn’t order
Went somewhere else. Will never return.
★★★★ Coolout 6/4/2026 v8.3.8
Happy Birthday to Me!
Got a spam text announcing I had a free birthday dessert due. Went to Chili’s app and it had lost my info. Did “reset password” and it sent me an email to go to the website to change my password (coulda done that myself, fellas) but the “enter” button didn’t work though it acknowledged the password was good. Went back to the app and tried to just get it to text me and then I got “invalid account”
So… no birthday dessert, I’m guessing?
Y’all suck. I’m gonna enjoy my birthday anyway.
★★★★ Joanport 6/2/2026 v8.3.8
App
Chilis is one of the best restaurants chains out there but the app genuinely suck so bad half the time it doesn’t work or let you pick a location and when it does it takes forever to load I don’t recommend.
★★★★ User 22730 6/1/2026 v8.3.8
Update makes the app unusable
We’ve been order through the app for ages. Had to do the update and went to checkout. Keep getting error codes. Would rate it 0 stars if I could. Can’t even get an email for forgotten password sent out.
★★★★ Tylerdbarnett 5/31/2026 v8.3.8
Can’t use app with most recent update
Use location and search no longer works and can’t order food with the app anymore after using it for years, previously worked with out issue and I used it quite a bit ordering though it probably about once a week up until the most recent update, vib coding at its finest.
★★★★ Kian zadeh 5/30/2026 v8.3.8
Usually not functioning
It doesn't work most of the time on weekends.
★★★★ mcspaul 5/30/2026 v8.3.8
Ordering doesn’t work
The app no longer works for ordering food for pickup. Click pickup, enter location, and then nothing happens. Arguably the main function of the app is ordering so it’s a major issue.
★★★★ mikecatsu 5/30/2026 v8.3.8
App doesn’t work
I’ve been trying to search for locations to place a pickup order but it wont let me. I’ve seen many other reviews say the same things so im not surprised but still disappointed. Also unable to login as it keeps giving me an error. This is just this app and not anything else, as my internet is fine as well.
★★★★ Chicken Noodle Soup Dog 5/29/2026 v8.3.8

Unable to select restaurant location, not sure what changed but cannot use my location or search for one
★★★★ PetmartSucs 5/28/2026 v8.3.8
Pro Tip You want $ Fix Your Site & App
Guess what crying about how consumers aren't coming to your establishment. They aren't ordering this is all on YOU. Your website doesn't work it errors out. Your app doesn't work. I won't even start on your horrific price increases in this post. You just lost yet another $100+ in business. Great job 👏👏👏
★★★★ Vm49 5/27/2026 v8.3.8
Bring Back Check In Waitlist
New updates took off the check in feature. That was the best part of using a restaurant app is that you could check in and add your name to the waiting list before you get there.
★★★★ RASHAD433 5/25/2026 v8.3.8
Issues
At check out there are required fields. When you made an account without the info wanted they won’t let you check out but also greyed out the required information not letting you fill it out. You have to back out of the order and go to account to fill in info then back to order refilling other info.
★★★★ John-Fx 5/23/2026 v8.3.8
Broken
I’ve used the app for years to order pickup, but the latest version is completely broken. Can’t find my account not can it let me order from my local Chili’s in Texas.
I usually order 2-3 times a week from them but will switch to another restaurant because this app is completely unusable in the current version.
★★★★ Redsoxfanatic45 5/22/2026 v8.3.8
Nothing works
Cant login cant place orders
★★★★ Laurie 6767 5/22/2026 v8.3.8
FRUSTRATING
App wants to bug out when purchasing the food. SUPER ANNOYING and I do NOT want to make or login to an account
★★★★ diamond girl💎💎💎 5/21/2026 v8.3.8
Not very good
This app needs to be fixed because the location is not that great! If you try to type in the location, it doesn’t search anywhere, especially if you’re not in the Internet! I’ve been trying to use this over and over again, but it doesn’t work fix it properly!
★★★★ Mocesito 5/21/2026 v8.3.8
Broken
You can’t place an order
★★★★ Momotseed521 5/21/2026 v8.3.8
Don’t waste your time with the app
This app sucks. It constantly logs me out and it’s hit or miss if it’ll give me an error message or let me log in.
★★★★ 21Texaa 5/20/2026 v8.3.8
App
Cannot join because it says there are no locations found in my city.
★★★★ pverse1 5/16/2026 v8.3.8
Missing
The option to remove the bun from the burgers in the app is missing. Please bring it back.
Update: I’ve updated the app and now it won’t let me login. It says “We’re sorry, we’re having trouble finding your account. Please try again later.” It’s been a couple days and I still get the same message
★★★★ alexa the saint 5/16/2026 v8.3.8
Payment issues
Payment issues
★★★★ Isabella Joness 5/15/2026 v8.3.8
All features down
It will not let me login. It will not let me make an account and it will not let me submit a support request to help me get back into my account. Please fix this.
★★★★ HOG HVN 5/14/2026 v8.3.8
Only rating the App
The restaurant is awesome but the app sucks because it’s a total pain to place an order. It doesn’t list the restaurant in my location so I can’t set up an account and have to order as a guest every time, it’s a total pain. Won’t use until they fix.
