Chili's Specials and Deals Right Now (November 2026)

What Chili's specials are running right now?

Chili's runs a short list of national specials, and they barely change from one restaurant to the next, since about 93% of U.S. Chili's are company-owned. We pulled the online menus and restaurant pages of 21 Chili's in 21 states on Nov. 1, 2026. The same 3 for Me prices showed up at all 20 mainland restaurants, and 19 of the 20 restaurants that listed a happy hour used the same drink prices.

The one outlier was a franchised Chili's in Mililani, Hawaii. Its online menu had no 3 for Me section and no happy hour listing, and most prices were several dollars higher. The table below lists every special we found, with when and where it applies.

What is the Chili's 3 for Me deal?

Chili's 3 for Me is a bundled meal: you pick one non-alcoholic drink, one starter and one entree, and the entree sets the price. At the 20 mainland Chili's we checked, it covered 13 entrees in four price tiers, shown in the table below. Brinker International, Chili's parent company, describes the same setup in its 2026 annual report.

Your starter can be chips and salsa, a side house salad, or a cup of Chicken Enchilada or Baked Potato soup. A bowl of soup costs $1 more, and the Dip Trio, chips with three dips, costs $6 more. Drinks include Coke, Diet Coke, Coke Zero, Dr Pepper, Sprite, lemonade, strawberry or watermelon lemonade, and sweet, unsweet or flavored iced tea. Entrees come with their usual side, usually fries, and you can add a Molten Chocolate Cake, Skillet Chocolate Chip Cookie or Classic Cheesecake for $6.

Chips are bottomless only when you eat in. A 2025 report noted that pickup orders do not get refills, which makes sense for a to-go bag.

How much do you save with Chili's 3 for Me?

Most of the savings come from the drink and the starter. Take the Big Smasher Burger: on the regular menu the burger alone had a median price of $15.69, a soft drink $3.49 and Chips & Salsa $6.99, about $26 together. The 3 for Me version is $12.99, so you save roughly $13 before tax. The Big QP tier saves about $14 on the same math.

The gap shrinks at the top tier. The 6 oz Classic Sirloin costs about $17.64 alone and $16.99 in 3 for Me, so there you are mainly getting the drink and starter included. Still, 3 for Me was cheaper than the entree alone for every item we could compare, including Cajun Pasta with shrimp, which ran about $19.69 on the regular menu. One more angle: My Chili's members already get chips and salsa free with a $5 order, so picking the soup or side salad as your 3 for Me starter gets you a little more variety.

Does Chili's still have the 2 for $25 menu?

No. Chili's retired its 2 for $25 deal, along with an older 3 for $10.99 offer, when it launched 3 for Me. No 2 for $25 option appeared on any of the 21 online menus we checked in November 2026.

Two people can get close to the old deal by ordering two 3 for Me meals, which comes to $21.98 to $33.98 with both drinks and starters included. The old 2 for $25 did not include drinks, so two 3 for Me meals at the lower tiers are often the better buy. If you want a two-entree bundle with a shared appetizer, Applebee's still sells one; compare it on our Applebee's menu page.

What is on the Chili's happy hour menu?

Chili's happy hour is a drinks-only special at most restaurants. At 15 of the 20 Chili's that listed a happy hour, it ran Monday to Friday from 3 to 6 p.m., and every listing we saw applied to the bar area, not the dining room. Three restaurants, in Johns Creek, Georgia; Leominster, Massachusetts; and High Point, North Carolina, listed happy hour all day, every day. A Lancaster, Pennsylvania, store ran it from 3 to 6 p.m. Monday to Thursday and 4 to 6 p.m. on Friday.

The standard price list, used at 19 of those 20 restaurants, is in the table below. None of the offers we found included food. A franchised Kansas City restaurant ran its own version, with drinks such as well cocktails, house wine and 16-ounce classic margaritas at $4.95 from 4 to 7 p.m. every day. Times and drinks can change, so check your restaurant's page on chilis.com before you go.

Does Chili's have lunch specials?

Yes, but the lunch special is 3 for Me, not a separate lunch price list. Chili's sold weekday 3 for Lunch combos in 2024, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., but the November 2026 online menus show 3 for Me all day and a Lunch Favorites section priced exactly like the regular menu. Our Chili's lunch menu guide covers lunch prices and the cheapest midday orders.

What do My Chili's Rewards members get?

My Chili's is free. Members get chips and salsa on every visit with a $5 minimum purchase, a free birthday dessert that expires 10 days after it is issued, plus surprise rewards and giveaways. You can join in the Chili's app, at chilis.com/register, or on the tabletop device at participating restaurants.

The surprise rewards are where short-term deals show up. In 2025, for example, members could redeem free Southwestern Queso and chips from Oct. 7 to 21. There are no points to track: rewards land in your account, and you pick them in the app or on the tabletop device when you order. Turn on app notifications or emails if you want to catch them.

Does Chili's offer kids eat free or a senior discount?

Neither is a national program right now. Chili's rewards page lists no free kids meal in November 2026, though food sites reported a members' free kids meal with an adult entree in 2025; our Chili's kids menu guide covers what is current. Chili's website does not list a senior menu or senior discount either. A 2025 report said some participating restaurants gave guests 55 and older 10% off, so it is worth asking your server, but do not count on it.

Is there a printable Chili's menu with prices?

We found no official printable Chili's menu with prices, as a PDF or otherwise, because each restaurant sets its own prices. Printable menus that circulate online are usually old or from one city. The reliable way is to open chilis.com, choose your restaurant and view its menu, which shows current prices and calories. You can also use our Chili's menu page for estimated typical prices across the whole menu.
