Chili's - Lewisville, Texas



Instead of information about the company, Chili’s website is just one big advertisement for their menu and gift cards. It has a nice little animated slideshow about their newest menu items, myspace page décor, you can even listen to Chili’s radio…but a simple “about us” is missing. Perhaps giving this information out to the public is too revealing? What do you have to hide, Chilis?

Jennifer Says:

Pepper in some fun TM. Pepper in this. Pepper in that. Ok, I get it. Chili pepper…the logo. Very clever.


Chili’s has been around for a long long time. It’s the quintessential teen date night spot right before the movies. The easy choice for lunch or dinner. A friendly face on a long road trip. No matter where you are, every Chili’s tastes the same….looks the same…smells the same. This can either be boring or comforting.


I don’t love Chili’s. I like it. Everything tastes fairly good, the staff is usually always very friendly (due to their overbearing managers) and they’re usually near a mall or movie theater for easy access.


You can never go wrong with the Chicken Club Tacos, Chicken Crispers, Fajitas or any of their countless burgers. They’ve even caught onto the mini burger craze. FYI: Their skillet queso is amazing, I suggest you dip your equally yummy fries into it. Then when you’re done, take your date to the movies and have a good ol’ teenage makeout session.


Go U.S.A! Go Chili’s!

Matt Says:

We’ve all been there. You know what’s on the menu. It’s easy to get lazy and say, “you wanna just go to chili’s?”


Today was one of those lazy days I guess. Jennifer and I went to Chili’s not intending to review it, but we thought, “what the hell…let’s give em a go.”


I ordered the chicken ranch sandwich, a staple to the Chili’s menu. I bet those people sell a million of these things every month. I was starving and my sandwich was tasty. Hell, I probably could have eaten my plate I was so hungry. We were laughing at the menu and how everything pictured is splashing and sloshing all over, like when they had the food photographed there was a giant earthquake or something. Chili’s, why is your menu head-banging to Slipknot?
