“Have not been to a Chili's in close to 10 years...especially here in Payson, there are enuff locally-owned places that are good, that it is not necessary to go out for factory food. But, it was Veterans' Day, and Chili's was offering free meal for vets, so we thought, What the heck. I was just hoping that the special was not Chili's baby-back ribs, because there is nothing to brag about, with Chili's ribs. We each ordered the Old Timer Burger with cheese, one of the four options for the Vets' special. It was very good! Surprised us both. Burger patty was large, cooked just right, and the bun was very fresh, soft, and perfect. A very nearby local burger place has been our favorite spot for a burger, but they've slipped lately, and this burger had theirs beat in every way. The only downside to the meal was the fries. OMG did someone loosen the top on the salt shaker in the kitchen??? I've never had such salty fries. We couldn't eat them...it was like SALT with a side of fries!! In another circumstance, I'd have sent them back, but this WAS a free lunch after all, so it didn't seem right to complain. Next time - yeah, I might go back for one of their burgers - I'd ask them to go down the street to the fish and chips joint to get an order of the best fries in Payson. Thanks, Chili's for the gracious offer of a free lunch to honor Vets! And hold the salt...T“
