Tonight’s James the Food Slayer takes me to Chili’s in Greensburg in Greengate Center. This is the area formerly known as Greengate Mall (still well missed blue locals even 20 years later). I will be grading tonight’s experience and then to close, reminisce a little bit on the old mall. I’ll also post food pics.
Tonight I ordered the three course meal deal. With this you get a drink, appetizer, and entree. This deal starts at $10.99. For my drink, I ordered the mango iced tea and for my soup, the chicken enchilada soup. For my entree, I ordered the 6 oz. Sirloin. This came with steamed broccoli and loaded mashed potatoes (came with bacon bits and green onions).
When I paid the check, I was given the option of taking a survey to discuss my experience. As I walked into the restaurant, the hostess quickly seated me. It helped that it wasn’t busy. I was given excellent service and taken care of. I was happy to order the meal deal since I already had the mango iced tea in hand. They even gave me the option to pay my check at the table so I was able to get in and get out.
Service: A+
Lots of great options on the menu. First page has all the popular drinks and even what goes with the meal. If you’re calorie conscious they have it listed with what you order. Be prepared to drop at least $20 if you’re eating solo. Eating out is more expensive than it used to be but that’s the way of the world post-COVID due to higher costs. That as well as supply chain issues and people still being wary of eating out amongst crowds.
Menu: B
My food came in a decent amount of time. I wasn’t waiting forever and my server was patient to give me time as I pored over the options. My drink was well-filled and the mango tea was very flavorful. The appetizer (the chicken enchilada soup) was filling and I almost had to ask for the recipe. The entree was good but the portions could have been a little bigger for the price. However, I get it that a good steak dinner will cost you. Overall though, I was still pretty satisfied.
Quality: A-
Closing off the blog, I wanted to look back on this land that used to be Greengate Mall. People have posted pictures that highlight where the mall stood in comparison to what is there now. For example, Walmart should be where JCPenney once stood. Many great memories were made here when it was Greengate and I wish they’d have kept it up a little more over the years leading up to its eventual demise. At least it wasn’t left to rot away like Century III is.
