Well, for me, I spent 15 years in a very small metro in the panhandle of Florida. When the community theatre folks hung out, a lot of the regulars would go to Applebees. The “edgy”/“outcast” would tend to go to Chilis.
Frankly, the bigoted stuff from the submission aside, both are… fine enough places to hang out and get food. It’s not great, but it’s not terrible.
I liked the Chilis because the ribs were pretty decent. Not amazing, but decent enough. My wife appreciated their battered chicken tenders, until they got rid of them. She’s autistic and that texture is better for her.
Applebees was more boring to me. I can’t tell you off the top of my head what I ever ate there, but it was alright.
In both cases it was more about hanging out with friends.
So really, to answer your question: Meh. lol.
And yes, I know it was rhetoical, but I have ADHD, so I answered anyway. :)
Chilis always had a fucking terrible dry-ass black bean burger as a vegetarian option, but Applebees had broccoli alfredo that was pretty palatable. It’s not like the chilis one was vegan, either.
Excuse me, that’s Applebees. Chili’s only microwaves some things and deep fries others.
Other than the sign on the building, how can you even tell them apart?
Chips and salsa.
