So it was definitely with low expectations that I ordered the Southern Smoked Bacon Big Mouth Burger ($8.79). It comes with brown sugar chili rubbed bacon, smoked cheddar, onion strings, mayo, lettuce, tomato and ancho chili BBQ sauce. It also comes with fries. John ordered the Big Mouth Bites ($7.99), which are basically Chili’s take on sliders. I verified with the server that the beef is frozen and not fresh.
I must say the burger was very good. The flavors mixed very well. The bacon was great by itself, thick, sweet and a little spicy. I ate the whole thing and was happy I did. The fries are run-of-the-mill medium cut with skins on. They were salty and hot, but unremarkable. So, in a pinch, Chili’s isn’t a bad option, even though it is a chain. They get my props for giving it a solid effort on the burger.

While I do like the idea of fries with skis on, I'm pretty sure you're an n short :-)
Thanks. Should not have skipped that typing class in high school.
Growing up we used to eat out at Chili's in Cupertino as a treat. I remember the Old-Timer that filled the entire basket. And basket of fries were to die for! Yum. I haven't been to chili's for quite a while - living north of Seattle there isn't one near by. But when they went "chain" I did enjoy their soft tacos.
Great website, btw. Have u been to Seattle to check out their burgers??
Liz: I have not burgerred in Seattle yet. What do you recommend? SRK
Apparently, I haven't really checked my email for awhile...
For Recs, there is always Red Robin (which introduced a "naked" burger which I enjoy because it doesn't have all those extra flavors their other burgers do), Dick's is apparently world-famous although I have only eaten there once. The best burger, though, that my family and I always enjoy is Time Out burgers in Mountlake Terrace (north of Seattle). It is owned by a Greek family, that also serves greek food but their burgers are very popular. Just some ideas. Oh, and I just tried Red Mill Burgers in the Greenwood neighborhood which was also very tasty and very popular (cash only).
how's that? lol
