- I tried Chili’s Big Smasher burger, the chain’s first new burger in three years.
- The half-pound burger comes with lettuce, crunchy pickles, and a creamy Thousand Island dressing.
- The burger was juicy on the inside but had a mouthwatering, crispy crust on the outside.
Chili’s just came out with its first new burger in three years in the hopes of competing with fast-food chains like McDonald’s.
The burger, which launched on April 29, has similar ingredients to a Big Mac but twice the meat. It’s available for $10.99 when included in the chain’s value meal — something the chain is advertising to attract value-driven customers as fast-food prices climb.
I tried the burger for the first time at Chili’s headquarters in Dallas a few weeks before its official launch. After it landed in restaurants nationwide, I tried it again at my local Chili’s.
Here’s what I thought of Chili’s new Big Smasher burger.
