Chili's is good restaurant?

Hi All,

Is Chili's Restaurant very good fine hamburgers and ribs and etc. So I remember where we ate at Chili's too with my friends who work at DL in FLL. I realize that I knows mostly airports does have own restaurant at Chili's too. I knows which airports is already have it there is: FLL, ATL, PHX, JAX, JFK and mostly some airports who have it the restaurant at Chili's too. So which one of mostly fine restaurant at airports. I think that I will expect go out a nice lunch with my friends at JFK inside of DL terminals. I remember that I saw Chili's too is in DL terminals. So let's speculations begin where you can tell us who have with Chili's too at airports or nearest at your house. Thanks all.

Regards

Now you're just toying with me.

I despise . . . no . . DESPISE. . .all these chain restaurants. I'd rather bring a sandwich from home than eat what they serve (and in the atmosphere in which they serve it).

There was a chilie's too at MIA at some point, but I don't eat at it, its the premade kind. I don't eat at chili's down the road from me either, overpriced underperforming foods in my opinion

Chillis is at the upper end of the casual dining chain segment IMO. Pretty good (not Great) for burgers, ribs, etc - and the Chilli is very good (though a bit salty).

Chillis Too is a bit restricted in the menu, and not consistent - eg some locations have fajitas, some don't.

Chillis/Chillis Too is a pretty good bar - usually have several craft beers on tap, with edible appetizers and a ball game on the TV.

I recall a Chilis at ATL, maybe 2. Centerpoint (B) and another at E? We ate at the E Chilis last June and one of us got sick on the flight - not the first ATL restaurant to leave me with stomach discomfort - Quiznos on C has done the same thing to me.

I always thought Chilis was ok until I had to eat 5 dinners there in 1 week - next door to my Hampton Inn in Austin with no car. Now, I'd almost rather eat anywhere else. We don't have one where I live, but I don't think I'd be tempted.

You don't like it? I thought you like at Chili's very often?

I think Chili's as a restaurant/chain is ok. Their chili, I dont like.

Being vegetarian, I know that I can always get a consistent, filling, semi-nutritious meal at chili's. (Old timer burger sub black bean burger)
It's one of the few chain restaurants with a decent veggie burger.
When in the airport with a layover and there are no better options (IE DFW) this is where I head.
If there's a better option (Maui Taco's) I switch it up.

Would I ever go to Chili's by choice when not in the airport? Hell no.

There's a Chili's Too on the WN airside at TPA. It stays open late if flights are delayed and has a decent bar.

Good! You don't have worry about complaints with those people who not have sick at the restaurant.

Oh yes, I remember where it is. It is near Airside C. I remember that I have been there before.

Odd, but I share this view. They have surprisingly good salads but the chili is way too mild.
