Best Items at Chili's#
1. Baby Back Ribs (half rack) — $21.29. Chili's signature item. The Baby Back Ribs are slow-smoked and fall-off-the-bone tender, with a house BBQ glaze. Better than most casual dining ribs at this price point. Order the full rack ($29.29) if you want ribs as your entire meal.
2. Chicken Fajitas — $17.29. Sizzling cast-iron skillet, grilled chicken, charred peppers and onions, fresh tortillas, and all the toppings. The Trio Fajitas ($21.29) with chicken, steak, and shrimp is the best value if you want variety.
3. Triple Dipper — $15.29. Pick three appetizers from the combo menu — the best combination is usually boneless wings, southwestern eggrolls, and quesadilla bites. Great for 2–3 people who want to graze rather than commit to one starter.
4. Molten Chocolate Cake — $8.29. One of the best desserts in casual dining. Warm chocolate lava cake with a gooey center, served with vanilla ice cream. The Skillet Cookie ($7.29) is a close second.
5. Bottomless Chips & Salsa — Free. The best table starter in casual dining. Chili's house-seasoned tortilla chips with fresh pico de gallo arrive at every table. Add the Skillet Queso ($7.29) for a warm upgrade. The chips keep coming until you stop asking.

Is Chili's Worth It in 2026?#
At $13–$21 for a main course at regular pricing, Chili's is mid-range for casual dining. The 3 for Me deal at $10.99 makes it one of the best value casual dining experiences in the US — a full meal for under $11 is exceptional for a sit-down restaurant. Outside the deal, the Baby Back Ribs and Fajitas are the items most worth the standard price. The free bottomless chips and salsa table service is a genuine differentiator. If you are going at regular price without a deal, Applebee's and Texas Roadhouse offer comparable value. If you are using the 3 for Me or visiting during happy hour, Chili's is hard to beat.
