Chili’s took a shot at fast-food prices<\/a> on social media and received a lot of love in return.<\/p>\n

X user @YellowFlashGuy posted a photo of a menu showing what appeared to be a Bacon King sandwich meal, including french fries and a drink<\/a>, priced at $18.19 at one Burger King location. The sandwich alone was listed for $12.99.<\/p>\n

“Why should I get this when I could just go to a restaurant?” @YellowFlashGuy captioned the image. “The food would be close to this price, and better.”<\/p>\n

“This is what we’ve been saying!!!!” Chili’s responded. “Why do y’all let fast food play you like this? Big Crispy Chicken Sandwich 3 for Me with fries, BOTTOMLESS chips and salsa and UNLIMITED drink for $10.99, only at Chili’s.”<\/p>\n

The Bacon King is a sandwich offered by Burger King that includes two quarter-pound beef patties with bacon, American cheese<\/a>, ketchup and mayonnaise on a toasted sesame seed bun.<\/p>\n

Most Burger King restaurants<\/a> are locally owned and operated by franchise operators, according to the chain’s website.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Prices and participation vary by location, Burger King says. Fox News Digital reached out to Burger King for comment.<\/p>\n

Chili’s response was viewed over 5 million times and gained a substantial number of positive reactions.<\/p>\n

“OK, I’m going to Chili’s after work,” one user posted. Chili’s responded, “We can’t wait!”<\/p>\n

“I had the Big Crispy Chicken for lunch<\/a> yesterday,” another user commented. “Great food, great service and outstanding value!”<\/p>\n

“That’s what we’re all about!” Chili’s replied.<\/p>\n

“Thank you for taking care of us, Chili’s,” wrote another user. “Chili’s is for the people.”<\/p>\n

Not all the comments were positive, however.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One user complained about receiving a medium-rare steak<\/a> that “came out nearly blue,” prompting Chili’s to apologize and ask for additional feedback.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other commenters defended the chain, saying the experience reflected one cook rather than the brand.<\/p>\n

The Texas-based chain has been playfully taking aim at fast food over the last few years, a spokesperson for Chili’s parent company, Brinker International, told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

Most recently, in April, Chili’s debuted its Big Crispy Chicken Sandwich.<\/p>\n

“The chicken sandwich category has exploded over the last few years, but consumers continue to feel the empty promise of so-called ‘value’ from fast-food restaurants,” Chili’s said in a news release announcing the chain’s new chicken offerings.<\/p>\n

The sandwich is part of Chili’s value-focused 3 for Me platform, which starts at $10.99.<\/p>\n

Major fast-food chains raised their prices by 60% on average between 2014 and 2024, a FinanceBuzz study<\/a> found.<\/p>\n

“Sixty-eight percent of U.S. consumers say they are cutting back on restaurant dining this year and prioritizing affordability and convenience,” restaurant technology company Popmenu reported.<\/p>\n

Chili’s focus on value appears to be driving the restaurant chain’s growth.<\/p>\n

Brinker International reported in April that Chili’s delivered its 20th consecutive quarter of same-store sales growth, with sales up 4%.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
