I would be down for Chili's any night of the week. Fast food prices have equalized sit down restarants.

A Chili's burger hits the spot on occasion.

And they pepper their fries, which is correct.

The last time I had Chili's was at the airport in Miami (a few months ago) and I had zero complaints. Food was great, service was great - even though it was in an airport and their prices were great for an airport

I went to Chilli's in BR off of college for the first time in... Maybe 15 possibly longer years. I was close by and wanted to grab something to eat and didn't feel like thinking about it, it was the first place I could think of right there.

That place is so ghetto. I don't care about race and it wasn't a problem, but me and the person with me were two of the four white people in there.. The kitchen had their music turned and could be heard over the house music and the staff was either black girls or gay black dudes.

And the food really was average at best.

So $13.99?

All that food for the same price as a box combo from Canes

Location and demographics make huge differences in service and quality at any chain restaurant.

I’ve had outstanding service and food quality at certain Popeyes, Chili’s, Outback, etc but it was 100% because of the quality of the labor pool. It makes all the difference.

They were in a great spot until they raised their prices recently. Outside of the burger, their other dishes are stupid expensive, like more than Walk-On's.

The best value is the triple dipper, even after they raised the price.

If Chili’s can do this for $11 then fast food can make a simple burger for $6.

Fast food needs to lower their profit expectations and they would actually make more money

Gotten that burger several times now from the Hammond Chilis and the service and the food has been phenomenal. Before those 3 ish times, I hadn't been to that chilis since several years before COVID because service was so bad. They changed things up and are doing things correctly there. And their new QP burger is much better than McDonald's QP.
