How Chili's Has Pulled Off A Remarkable Comeback
Chili’s is one of our favorites in Tucson. The ‘3 for Me’ is a winner. We hit it once a month. Free chips if you’re a regular.

I just tried this deal recently. Fries were delicious; burger was above average; and the chips/soda were normal.

With a tip I think I paid $13.50+/-, which is about the same as McDonald's and better tasting.

So the food doesn’t come out of a freezer or a bag? Chilis, Applebees, Olive Garden, chain, chain, chain.

Chilis here is terrible and you can only order from an app off your phone while the restaurant has terrible cell service and extremely poor slow wifi.

It's a frustrating experience with sub par food.

The wife and I go to the one in Tomball once a qtr. It’s still good, and with value offerings it’s better.

Old timer with cheese has always been a good burger.

Both Chili's and Applebees down in Osage are doing well. They always have. Lately, you can get a pretty darn good burger and fries for less than what the drive thru burger places offer.

What happens if you tell them that you don't have a phone? Do they refuse to serve you?

Chili's near Our Little Airport has actual people to take your order and answer any questions that you might have about menu items.

But it's good to know that they've improved. If I'm traveling and am desperate, I may give them a shot. But locally, absolutely no need to go.


Their fajitas are really good, burgers are good too.

Alot of chain restaurants are either as good, or bad because of their manager. We had 2 Chilis in our town, one was pretty good, the other was terrible except for the bar. Once the good manager left it became as crummy as the other.
