    In 1967, Larry Lavine attended the first Terlingua Chili Cook-off hosted by his father-in-law. He fell in love with the concept and decided to open a restaurant that he hoped would capture the same experience. The first Chili's opened in Dallas in 1975 in a converted postal station. The menu included burgers, tacos, fries and chili along with Schlitz beer because they were the only brewery who would supply on credit while the restaurant was growing. The second Chili's opened in a remodeled flower shop in Houston in 1976. Today there are over 1,200 Chili restaurants through the country. The majority are in Texas with Florida in second place with 138 restaurants. Our family ended up at this Chili's on Mother's Day in Vero Beach because it is halfway between where we live and Orlando where my daughter lives. We ended up having to go to several auto parts store to do minor repairs on my daughter's car so we scrapped our original plan and looked for somewhere we could eat quickly. Chili's to the rescue. This Chili's looks exactly like every other Chili's I have ever been to. The restaurant is in a U shaped configuration with wood tables and booths and Southwestern decor. We decided to start with a round of their $6 margarita of the month, Tito's Watermelon Spritz. They were very refreshing and the perfect Mother's Day cocktail. Meals ordered included the brisket burger, a crispy chicken salad, and my daughter and I had the ribs with chicken crispers, Mexican street corn, and seasoned fries. Chili's always does a great job on ribs. It was a lot of food for the money and we had leftovers to take home. Service was prompt and attentive bringing the food and drinks quickly. It wasn't the water view I originally planned on but the food was enjoyed by all and everyone left satisfied and happy.

    It took forever to be seated, but afterwards everything was OK. I think chili has really stepped up their game with their value of their food and the quality.

    Chili?

    I wasn't terribly hungry. Good thing! I ordered a bowl of chili but what I got was a bowl of meat and cheese floating in grease. I couldn't even take a bite. The server took it off the bill. Drinks were good, service was good.

    Taste horrible.

I don't super recall having one of their beers at the Stuart beer festival, so I was excited about 'retrying' it. First, the building is awesome. Read the history on it, but also hard to ignore the giant generator that the beer comes out of it....super cool visual. I like the vibe of the place overall, and the patio seemed really nice but since it was our first visit I wanted to take the inside 'all in', and glad we did. Ok..the beers.... Flight: 6 5 oz pours for $15. Reasonable enough.. We started here just to see what pint we each wanted: *Freedom Tourch Stout: I loved it. *Hazy IPA *Double Vision IPA: Really enjoyed it; just amped up the hazy a bit. *Hef: Decent (not a super fan of hef, but wanted to sample) *Lager: Decent, it's a lager: * Icon IPA I ended up with an Icon IPA as my pint, enjoyed! Ok..the food * We split 10 wings for $16. Naked with nashville hot and blue cheese on teh side. Really enjoyed, meaty. * We also split a burger..the fun guy (funghi). We upgraded to sweet potato fries. I thought it was delicious, and the swp instead of marshmallow fluff had a maybe sweet cream cheese dip (i don't care it was delicious!) :) Now they were out of a few beers that was my first pick (including the Saison) but I guess it was others picks too..hence why they were out!

The avocado was a half plopped on the sandwich, and wasn't even sliced. Asking for more jam took forever. The server was nice but she had so many tables and we had to wait for a long time to get things. The Mac and cheese was so dry the kids did not like it. The two side Caesar salads were different portions for the same price. The pretzel and cowboy burger were amazing. Disappointing overall. Will we be back? Sure, we just won't order some of those items.

I ate too much of the bread! For my meal, I started with the steak tartare and it was excellent, high quality beef. I then moved onto the chargrilled oysters which were a 1000/10! Amazing flavor... the blend of the butter and 3 cheeses was perfect! I then had the best pork chop I've ever eaten in my life. They brine it for 24 hours in a sweet tea mixture... I was thinking that would taste weird or sweet but it was neither. The chop was simply the most divine, juicy and flavorful pork chop I have ever consumed. Words can't express the deliciousness! It was 10000000/10. The chop was paired with the best grits I've ever had. I take grits seriously as a southern woman and those were magnificent. Restaurant was very clean.

The limoncello cake was lovely. We know we are in Florida,we are from Arizona, the covered patio was not cool enough to be enjoyable, and that's were we sat.

The food is consistently delicious and well-prepared, although it is definitely on the pricier side. It feels more like a place for a special night out than an everyday dinner. On our most recent visit, the only downside (besides the prices) was that there was a very long wait time to get our food. Still, the setting and overall experience was positive so I wouldn't be against another visit.
