A full-service, Tex-Mex-leaning casual-dining restaurant with a full bar at Lake Nona Landing, open since 2017

Chili's Grill and Bar at Lake Nona Landing on Narcoossee Road

By David Myers, Broker Associate · NonaOrlandoProperties.com · Last updated October 2026

Chili's Grill & Bar is at 11942 Narcoossee Road in the Lake Nona Landing shopping center, just south of the SR 417 interchange. It opened in October 2017 and is owned by Dallas-based Brinker International. The menu is casual American with a Tex-Mex lean: burgers, fajitas, ribs, chips and salsa, and margaritas from a full bar. The Lake Nona location offers dine-in, pickup, delivery and alcohol to go. Miller's Ale House, LongHorn Steakhouse and Olive Garden are the other full-service casual chains on the same stretch of Narcoossee Road.

Nobody moves to Lake Nona for Chili's. But a full-service restaurant with a kids menu, a bar, booths and no reservation stress is something every neighborhood needs, and Chili's has filled that role at Lake Nona Landing since 2017.

Here is where it is, what to expect, and how it fits alongside the other casual-dining chains that line this part of Narcoossee Road.

Where is Chili's in Lake Nona?

Chili's is at 11942 Narcoossee Road in Lake Nona Landing, the Walmart, Sam's Club and Lowe's center just south of the SR 417 interchange.

It sits on the Narcoossee Road side of Lake Nona Landing, near the Walmart Supercenter. That makes it an easy stop combined with errands, and it means the parking lot is shared with some of the busiest stores in Lake Nona.

Miller's Ale House is across Narcoossee Road, and LongHorn Steakhouse and Olive Garden are a short way south, so this stretch is Lake Nona's chain-restaurant row.

What kind of food does Chili's serve?

Chili's serves casual American food with a Tex-Mex lean, built around burgers, fajitas, ribs, appetizers and margaritas.

The menu is the same national menu you will find at any Chili's, which is the point: it is predictable, broad enough for picky eaters, and has a kids menu. Limited-time specials rotate through, so check the current menu rather than relying on a favorite from a few years ago.

There is a full bar, so the bar side works for a drink and a game on TV without committing to a sports bar.

Who owns the Lake Nona Chili's?

Chili's is the flagship brand of Brinker International, a Dallas-based restaurant company that also owns Maggiano's Little Italy.

The Lake Nona restaurant opened on October 2, 2017. The menu, pricing and promotions are set nationally, not locally.

The rewards program is called My Chili's and is free to join. The perks change from time to time, so check the app rather than counting on a specific offer.

Does Chili's Lake Nona offer takeout and delivery?

Yes. The Lake Nona Chili's offers dine-in, pickup orders, delivery and alcohol to go.

Orders can be placed through the Chili's website or app for pickup, and delivery is available through the same system. Alcohol to go, such as margaritas, is offered at this location where Florida law allows.

Hours and menus change, so check the Lake Nona Chili's page before you go.

How does Chili's compare with Miller's Ale House and LongHorn?

Chili's is the all-round family option; Miller's Ale House is the sports bar; LongHorn is the steakhouse.

All three are full-service and within a short drive of each other. Miller's Ale House leans hardest into sports, with a wall of TVs and a big bar. LongHorn Steakhouse is the choice when steak is the plan. Olive Garden covers Italian-American.

Chili's is the middle ground: a bar and TVs without the sports-bar volume, and a menu wide enough that nobody at the table has to compromise much.

Pros, Cons and Our Take

Pros

  • Full-service with a kids menu, booths and a full bar
  • Pickup, delivery and alcohol to go
  • Easy to combine with errands at Lake Nona Landing
  • A predictable national menu that suits mixed groups

Cons

  • A national chain menu with nothing specific to Lake Nona
  • Shared parking with Walmart and Sam's Club gets busy at peak times
  • Limited-time specials come and go
  • Not the place for a special-occasion dinner

Our Take

Chili's is a utility restaurant, and a good one to have nearby. When you want table service, a margarita and something everyone will eat, without driving to Town Center or booking ahead, it does the job. If the evening matters more than convenience, Lake Nona has better options; for a Tuesday night with kids, it is hard to beat for convenience.

What the Neighbors Know

For residents of Laureate Park and Alora, Lake Nona Landing is the nearest big-box center, and the chain restaurants along this stretch of Narcoossee Road are where a lot of weeknight dinners happen.

That everyday convenience is part of the Lake Nona trade-off: the area has fewer independent restaurants than older Orlando neighborhoods, but the reliable options are close and easy to reach. See the full list in our Lake Nona restaurant guide.
