What's on the Chili's menu
Chili's started in 1975 in a former post office on Greenville Avenue in Dallas, opened by Larry Lavine with two partners. It is now the main brand of Brinker International, which still runs it from Dallas. As of September 2026 there were about 1,210 Chili's in the United States, and nearly all of them are company-owned rather than franchised. That matters for you: menus and deals are very consistent from one Chili's to the next.
Chili's is a sit-down grill and bar with a full bar, but most people come for value. The 3 for Me deal bundles a drink, a starter and an entree from $10.99, and My Chili's members get free chips and salsa on every visit over $5. Our prices are estimated typical U.S. prices. When we checked online menus at 21 Chili's on Nov. 1, 2026, many items cost $1 to $2 more than these estimates, so treat them as a floor.

Chili's nutrition and menu highlights
We show calories only when they come from Chili's own nutrition information, and we could not match official figures to this menu yet, so the calorie and protein columns show a dash. Check the chain's nutrition guide before you order.
Allergens at Chili's
Chili's links an interactive nutrition and allergen guide and a printable allergen guide (updated Aug. 4, 2026) from chilis.com/nutrition.

Fried foods share soybean oil and kitchen equipment, and Chili's says it cannot guarantee any item is allergen-free, so tell a manager about allergies before you order.
