Chili's Review and $50 Gift Card Giveaway {closed}

(Sign up to receive a coupon for a FREE Chili's Chips & Queso Appetizer!)

A little over a month ago, we were given a $50 gift card and asked to review Chili's Bar and Grill Restaurant and write about our experience.

We were super excited about the opportunity to take the entire family out for dinner. A night of no prep work, cooking, or dish washing sounded wonderful!

Chili's is a great, family-friendly restaurant that caters to everyone, as well as every budget. We discovered that Chili's has great prices, generous portions, and fresh tasting flavors. The items on the new menu all sound completely scrumptious.

Chili's has a wonderful variety of appetizers, entrees, and desserts. There are meals that include chicken, seafood, beef, and pork. Chili's even has a Vegetarian Menu. They also have a wide array of sides that sound wonderful.

Tim had discovered a coupon for a FREE Skillet Queso appetizer before we headed out to dinner so we started dinner off with the creamy, beany cheese sauce and incredibly thin and crispy tortilla chips. Jonathan especially loved the queso dip and would have scarfed the whole bowl down in 3 minutes if we hadn't moved it to the other end of the table!

After gorging on our fair share of chips and queso dip, Tim and I decided to split a meal. We ordered the Fajita Trio, grilled steak, chicken and spicy garlic and lime shrimp. Along with freshly lettuce, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, rice, beans and an extra order of tortillas this one meal was actually more than tho two of us could finish! Emahry and Jonathan shared a Cheese Quesadilla kid's meal.

Even with sharing a meal we were all completely stuffed on our way out the door. Even better is that we enjoyed a wonderful meal out while only spending $26 including a 20% tip!

Now, Tim and I will be able to use the second half of the gift card for a date night once my sister, our resident babysitter, returns to school.

I've already scouted out the menu for what I'll order next time. Tim and I will probably share a large appetizer or meal and then get separate desserts. Not that I don't like sharing my dessert with my husband, but Tim can't eat chocolate and I absolutely LOVE IT. So, the thought of ordering a non-chocolate dessert leaves me with a little sinking feeling. Maybe we'll settle with the White Chocolate Molten Cake, since white chocolate doesn't bother Tim, but is still considered chocolate in my book. Then again, it looks so good that we may each want our own!

We would definitely recommend Chili's for anyone who is looking for a relaxing atmosphere and fresh, delicious food. Chili's is also easy on the wallet so it makes an ideal dining out location for frugal families or those with lots of bellies to fill.
