Scott and SadieIt’s the kind of corporate drama we didn’t know we needed: Chili’s and Applebee’s are feuding on social media over who has the best meal deal. Yes, while the rest of us are just trying to decide between fajitas or boneless wings, these casual dining chains are throwing shade like it’s a reality TV reunion special.
Chili’s kicked things off by taking a swipe at Applebee’s 2-for-$25 deal, claiming their own “3-for-Me” menu is the real MVP. Applebee’s clapped back, doubling down on their “great food at a great price” slogan. And before long, the tweets were flying faster than a plate of mozzarella sticks during happy hour.
Meal Deal Throwdown Highlights:
- Chili’s Flexes First: Chili’s pointed out that their “3-for-Me” deal offers more variety, with options starting at just $10.49. Applebee’s response? “More variety doesn’t mean better.” Oh, it’s ON.
- Applebee’s Holds the Line: Applebee’s insisted their 2-for-$25 is still the ultimate value for sharing, essentially calling Chili’s a try-hard. Bold move, considering Chili’s has margaritas that can silence any critic.
- Twitter Gets Spicy: Fans jumped into the debate, with one user commenting, “The only real winner here is my wallet. Keep fighting, y’all.” Another chimed in, “Can’t we just agree that Olive Garden breadsticks win?”
The Real Winner? Social Media Drama
Let’s be honest: no one’s going to these places for a fine dining experience. But now we’re invested. Are we team Chili’s for their crispy chicken crispers or team Applebee’s for their bottomless boneless wings? Either way, the real MVPs are the social media managers who turned casual dining into an episode of The Real Housewives of the Suburbs.

So, let’s hear it: Do you follow brands or accounts just for the drama? Which restaurant would you side with in this battle of the meal deals? And while we’re at it, what’s your go-to order at either place? Sound off in the comments and let the debate continue.
