Guide Review - Chili's


Chili's is one of my favorite restaurants to fall back on because their big, juicy hamburgers. With a soft bun and flavoring that is unique to Chili's, the $5.99 burger may be the best in San Antonio. If you're not in the mood for burgers, don't worry, there is plenty to keep your stomach in good spirits. From pitas to fajitas, Chili's has got you covered.

A familiar and steady franchise, Chili's is usually dependable for a fun meal with sit down appeal. The service is almost always top-notch. The atmosphere is trendy enough for the younger set, but also great for families or an older crowd.

Chili's can win over even the most grizzled diner with its fantastic appetizers, such as boneless buffalo wings, Southwestern eggrolls, and carne y queso dip.

Their array of fruity drinks also provide a discussion point to diversify both the scenery and conversation if one is looking to bring more dynamics to an early date or an awkward silence.

Finally, if you decide to save your drinks for later and stay on the low end for your meal, you can smile with a bill of $14 or less for two people. Even if you decide to splurge a little this Friday night and go for a pink drink, you won't put a dent in your bank anymore than you would another locale.
