'Best value out there' say Chili's fans as chain adds new burger for $10.99 that has twice the meat of a Big Mac | I01SE7I | 2024-05-05 17:08:01
CHILI'S fans have hailed the addition of a new value-for-money burger for just $10.99.
Famished diners can now sink their teeth into the chain's first burger in three years following its April 29 launch.
The highly-anticipated Big Smasher Burger comes complete with shredded lettuce, diced red onions, pickles, American cheese, and Thousand Island dressing.
Chili's new meaty offering's chief selling point is its thick patty – weighing in at about a half pound and boasting twice as much beef as a Big Mac from rival fast food chain McDonald's.
Chili's has declared war on fast food with the latest addition to its 3ForMe meal deal.
With this deal, customers can nab a bottomless non-alcoholic drink, unlimited chips and salsa, the new burger, and a side of fries for $10.99.
Burger fans flocked to a Reddit to celebrate the fresh menu addition.
"I didn't even realize this was new and had it today for lunch. It was absolutely delicious," one diner said.
A second chimed in: "Ok I want this."
A third added: "The Chili's 3 For Me is really the best value out there.
"It's cheaper than a lot of fast food combos and you get so much more food."

In early April, Chili's added a new cocktail to its menu, putting a spin on the famous espresso martini.
The Chili's espresso martini is made with Reposado tequila instead of the usual vodka.
It was created in collaboration with Vanderpump Rules stars Katie Maloney and Scheana Shay.
Scheana worked as a Chili's waitress before her reality TV fame.

STORE CLOSURE
A Chili's restaurant in Maine is set to permanently close in the coming days, leaving one location remaining in the state.
The popular chain's establishment in South Portland will shut for the last time on May 7.
News of the closure was confirmed by a manager weeks before the restaurant's set to shutter, per the ABC affiliate WMTW-TV.
It means staffers and customers were only given around two weeks notice regarding the closure.
Around 35 workers will lose their jobs, per the Bangor Daily News.
There are only two Chili's restaurants in the state of Maine, according to its restaurant locator.
The other establishment is in Bangor – located more than 130 miles from the South Portland restaurant.
Chili's has six restaurants in New Hampshire – in Dover, Keene, Nashua, Salem, Seabrook, and West Lebanon.
The Chili's restaurant is located near the Maine Mall – a shopping center home to major retailers including Banana Republic, Macy's, Foot Locker, and J.Crew.
The pending shutdown of the Chili's outlet in Maine will come just weeks after an establishment in Irvine, California, closed.
