Editorial Review for Cheli's Chili Bar – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
Imagine a sporting event with no sport and only the food, and you get the idea. Owned by Red Wings hockey star Chris Chelios, the restaurant is more hockey-temple than neighborhood bar. With multiple television screens and the loud chatter of fans and after-work revelers alike, Cheli's pleases all. If you can do without the memorabilia, the outdoor deck is relaxed and packed in the warmer months.

My husband and I had went out for dinner at your restaurnt We had ordered the wings, and when we finally got them (about 25 minutes after ordering and the place wasn't even croweded!) they were very scrawny looking, and way over cooked. When we tried a few, and wanted to have them taken off our bill, the waitress came back and said the manager said no, he wasn't going to do that, and he would replace what we didn't eat. He wouldn't even come over to the table to explain why, and kept going through the waitress. They gave us the replaced wings to go, and when we got home opened the box to find a long piece of human hair fried into one of the wings. So we went back up there to show the manager, and his explaination was that it was from the chicken! Whatever! Horrilbe management there! Do not know how to treat their customers, or resolve customer conflicts. You need to look into how your management is running your business, because they are horrible at what they do, and we would not go back there again. There are plenty of restaurants down Michigan Ave. that would love to have our business. If you keep managing your restaurant like it is being run now, you won't have to worry about staying open. They are running you right into the ground.

Cons: horrible dining experience!

So I decided to stop in the new Cheils Chili Bar of Clinton Twp. and it was awesome. The jerseys on the walls, the scoreboard in the middle of the bar, pool, air hockey, a hunting game, and you can even work on your jumpshot with the basketball game. And don't even get me started on the food. I started off with the pizza sticks which were amazing, then i decided to try the chicken marsella (sorry if I spelled that wrong), my dad got the saganaki which was cool because they litterally light it on fire! And we finished the night off with a hot fudge sundae. Overall I was completely amazed with the service, proficaiany and determination the entire waitstaff (waiters, waitresses, bartenders, busers, and managers) led their resturant with. I also heard that going there during a Red Wings or Pistons game is awesome so I think ill go on wednesday... hope to see you there!

Pros: Food, Waitstaff, EVERTHING!!!

Cons: Nothing.....

Hockey fans have a new place of worship--and the deck offers a great spot to enjoy the outdoors.  See the full editorial review.
