The Sit-Down Restaurant Now Cheaper Than McDonald’s

Chili’s Is Now Cheaper Than McDonald’s… And I’m Lovin’ It

In a plot twist nobody saw coming, your next budget-friendly burger run might just be to a sit-down restaurant—with table service, bottomless chips, and a full-size booth. Yep, Chili’s is officially cheaper than McDonald’s.

Enter The Big QP. Chili’s latest menu drop is a direct shot at McDonald’s iconic Quarter Pounder with Cheese. It’s got all the same ingredients, but with a major upgrade: it’s 85% beefier. And here’s the kicker—you also get fries, unlimited soft drinks, and those glorious bottomless chips and salsa for just $10.99.

Let’s be honest—have you tried to get a large Quarter Pounder meal lately? You’ll barely squeak by under $11, and that’s without the chips, the drinks refills, or the friendly Chili’s server asking how your day is going.

Fast food prices have been climbing, but Chili’s just flipped the script. It’s fast food prices… with a full-service upgrade. Nicely done, Chili’s.
