Chili's was one of the first restaurants to open up during covid here in North Alabama. They didn't stress alot of the bull crap about social distancing. My wife and I never ate chili's until then but now it's one of our go to restaurants. Their street corn on the cob is legit.

Their sirloin is pretty good for a quick lunch, although outback’s is better. However, chilis gets you in and out quickly. Not a destination spot for dinner, but for lunch, absolutely

Did they bring back the bowl of red? Quiznos needs to simplify their menu as well.

Chili's isn't that bad no matter what some of the try hards on here say.
This. Their burgers, chips and salsa, and margaritas have never failed me.

My son has a severe shellfish allergy and Chili’s is one of the few sit down places he can go to without us being worried about rushing him to the ER. For that, I am glad to give them my business.

I stopped going when they dropped the Chicken Fried Steak. Now I know why, and still not getting me to go on my own choosing.

Though I was recently in a small town for work that only had a Chili's and Applebee's with a bar past 9pm so stopped in the Chilis for a couple of beers and watch the end of a game after dinner. I got an Applebee's near me in my town, so got fancy and "changed it up some".

Kids love chilis. Decent food for a good price and it’s relatively consistent.

shite, the 3 for me lunch at $10 is less expensive than Chick-fil-A with more and better food

I really think their presidente margarita is one of the best drinks out there.
