The editorial take
Chili's Grill & Bar runs a beverage program built around margaritas and familiar domestic beers, with a handful of house-made nonalcoholic options. The To-Go Alcohol menu lists a wide range of margaritas, from the Presidente Margarita® to a Tito's Watermelon Spritz. Happy Hour brings $6 Margarita of the Month, $7 Tequila Classic Marg, and $3–$5 beers in 16 and 22 ounces. Wine is limited to a $5 house red and white. Flavored lemonades and iced teas round out the nonalcoholic side.
- What should I order?
- Start with a margarita from the To-Go Alcohol menu, such as the Presidente Margarita® or Don Julio® Marg. For beer, the Modelo 16 oz at $4 during Happy Hour is a solid pick. If you're skipping alcohol, the Dragonfruit Lemonade or Blackberry Iced Tea are house-made options.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- This program suits anyone looking for a straightforward margarita or a cold domestic beer at a casual chain restaurant. It's also a reasonable stop for a flavored lemonade or iced tea if you're not drinking.
- When should I go?
- Happy Hour is the clear time to visit for the $6 Margarita of the Month, $7 Tequila Classic Marg, and $3–$5 beers. The full menu is available otherwise.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Happy Hour pricing is the best value: beers are $3–$5, margaritas are $6–$7, and house wine is $5. Outside Happy Hour, expect standard restaurant pricing for margaritas and beer.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The margarita list is unusually broad for a chain, spanning classic, skinny, and branded versions like the Henny Marg and Casamigos® Marg. The nonalcoholic side goes beyond soda with house-made lemonades and flavored iced teas.
