Chili’s Review & Giveaway!

Our family loves to go out to eat – it’s a nice outing and I love the break from cooking! My husband works a lot and every so often he has a few days off. We try to spend his off days together as a family.

Today was one of those days, so we hit up Chili’s at lunchtime to try out their new “Fresh Pairings” menu (which includes an appetizer and entree for only $9.99!). We were very pleased with our delicious meal and our helpful, attentive waitress! I love going out at lunch because restaurants are much quieter and the service is faster!

Ridley chewed on a straw and ate his cheesy, mashed potatoes.

Appetizers: Southwestern Egg Rolls and Texas Cheese Fries.  Yum!

Entrees: I had the Mini Tacos with Beans and Rice and Ernie had the Memphis Rub Ribs with Fries.  Everything was delicious!!

Ernie and Ridley enjoyed the Molten Chocolate Cake for dessert.  I had a few precious bites. 🙂

We had a fantastic experience at Chili’s courtesy of the Chili’s marketing team who provided us with a $50 gift card to try out the new “Fresh Pairings” menu!

After we ate lunch we went to the park to enjoy the gorgeous day!

  1. The pictures of your son are adorable! The food looks delicious too so I’d certainly love a chance to win a gift card (and your right…lunch is the best time to go). I would probably try the Fried Cheese and small Asian Salad (although those mini tacos look delicious). Oh…I am following Chili’s on Twitter now and have tweeted the giveaway.
