Our Story (and We're Sticking to It!) Chili's® Grill & Bar opened its first restaurant in 1975 on Greenville Avenue in Dallas, Texas. Created as a hamburger restaurant/chili house with a uniquely Southwestern flair, Chili's® served homemade-quality food, draft beer and frozen drinks in a casual atmosphere. The menu was as simple as the food was outstanding, with items like the Oldtimer® - a ½ lb. hamburger topped with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions and mustard - and a bowl of Texas Red Chilli. Since then, Chili's® has been welcoming guests with our sizzling personality, serving up a good time, every time with incredible appetizers and entrées, thirst-quenching drinks and decadent desserts. Along the way, we've fed a bunch of folks, hosted a ton of parties and had lots of laughs. Today, Chili's® has more than 1,400 locations in 28 different countries around the world. A lot has changed since our early days in Dallas, Texas but we're still hungry to bring you the big, bold flavours of our original down-home Southwestern-inspired cuisine. So you can still enjoy the mouth-watering burgers, ice-cold beer and margaritas that made us famous. Or you can sink your teeth into even more great Southwest favourites like our legendary Baby Back Ribs, Sizzling Fajitas and Fire-Grilled Steaks. Of course, along with outstanding food, we're still cooking up a whole lot of fun too. That's why after all this time you'll still find that Chili's® is truly like Like No Place Else.®
