Went to Chilis the other week. It was crazy

Fast service and always asking if you want a refill. Pay at the table with the yablet

Burger was excellent

It's really about fast food. Fast food has gotten really expensive, making a Chilis a very economical upgrade.

I haven’t been in years, but I keep hearing good things about the food and prices. I’m going to give it a chance. We drop $50 easily on fast food for a family of four.

Chili's is one of the only restaurants nowadays, including chains, where it doesn't feel like they're ripping me off when I go there.


This. I don’t know if it was COVID or what, but more often than not these last few years I find I’ve been walking out of restaurants with regret. Even places I used to enjoy.

Places like Chili’s don’t leave me with the feeling that I dropped a grand at a strip club for a big case of blue balls.

Not at all surprised to see this story. I have no idea who brought them back from the dead, but that person deserves a raise.

I would never call Chili's great food, but it's good food at very good prices. I love their chips and salsa.

The service is actually pretty good too, and yeah paying with the tablet for some strange reason, makes me like the place even more.

Kudos to Chili's, maybe other restaurants should start taking notes.

I get a Chili's burger to go and drink an average beer from shitty uncleaned taps while I wait for it at least once a month. And we get their chips and salsa sometimes by itself about as often. Good shite.

I don't go to Chili's that often, and then it's only a meeting place to drop off a vehicle, we obviously have to go in and get a beer, that shitty taste of the beer mug is what usually hits me, I really think it's sterilizing/cleaning solution that isn't properly rinsed off

Whatever it is, I could definitely pick out a Chili's beer on a blind taste test. It's crazy how consistently off any beer is
