How's the food? It is quite tasty, and includes quite a few calories. You can stick with salads & soups, but that isn't what Chili's is known for. To get a gestimate of their prices, a special that ran in 2010 offered two entrees for $20, no beverage, etc.

Fortune Magazine called the company that owns Chili's (Brinker's) the World's Most Admired Food Services Companies in 2009. FORBES Magazine named it one of the 400 Best Companies in America between 2002-2007.

Chili's Grill & Bar is a restaurant chain founded by Larry Lavine. In 1975 Chili's opened its first location, a converted postal station on Greenville Avenue in Dallas, as a fun burger joint with a popular happy hour. The following year it was renamed Chili's, Inc. By the early 1980's there were close to 30 Chili's locations featuring similar Southwest decor and an affordable, American menu.  In 1983, Lavine sold Chili's, Inc. to Norman E. Brinker, formerly with Pillsbury restaurant group. He joined the company and under his leadership, it went public that same year.  In 1991, to encompass a growing restaurant portfolio, the name was changed to Brinker International, Inc. Dallas-based Brinker International, Inc.

Chili's Grill & Bar and Maggiano's Little Italy are its two brands. While the restaurant has offered franchise opportunities, no such opportunities existed in the U.S. at the close of 2010, according to the official Brinker website.
