We have had a flurry of boutique burger restaurants open in NE FL and some of them are really good. But I'm bummed I missed out on the Chili's special of $9.99 for a burger and fries while it lasted.

I just went to RR this past Thursday after our range day. The bacon cheeseburger is what I got though I was tempted to get the one with an egg on top. Was a great burger. Haven’t been to a Hooters or Chili’s in ages.Comment

Haven't been impressed by RR, but Hooters I go for the chicken breasts. That's the ticket, chicken breasts..
I think you should include 5 Guys. For a sit down more expensive burger, I think they are the hands down winner.Comment

I gotta say that Chili’s burger looks pretty dang good. I only go to these types of restaurants if I’m on a road trip bc in the city I live there are tons of good burger joints and these types of places are only on the outskirts of town. Next road trip I’ll look for a Chili’sComment

Fred's in Burlington, WI and Small Cheval
Sorry, my bad. This is about a Chilis, Hooters and Red Robin mash up.Last edited by CRO; February 16, 2025, 06:20 PM.Comment

Like I mentioned above, I used to work at one of the competitors, they are local and not nationwide. But I would put an Islands Hula Burger (mushroom and Swiss) up against chilis or RR any day. Since I worked for a chain, it was my business to eat in them often. Chilis is nostalgic for me…. I was a chili-head for a minute. Oldtimer with Cheese is is go-to (and queso dip). The mushroom burger at RR is my choice or the bleu cheese (no steak sauce). Fries well done!
Never been to a hooters.Comment

I think the Chili’s burger is surprisingly good. I haven’t been to a Red Robin in years, but that is because i thought the burger i had there was not very good. I haven’t been to a Hooters in years either. Last time i went my son was with me and he was around 14. The waitress hugged him and told him he was her new man. Messed him up; he wanted to go back every day. I think he is still looking for her - he is 27 now.Last edited by klflowers; February 16, 2025, 07:11 PM.Comment

Love the write up and the comments. My favorite at RR is the sauteed mushroom burger. Something about the buttery mushrooms and cheese on the buttered bun is just delicious. I haven't eaten at Chili's in years. We have one in GSO so will definitely give their burger a shot. If you are doing a part II, see if you can fit Ruby Tuesday's in. I think they have the best burgers over the other (3) and you can get them cooked to order, literally medium rare if you wish. I know you aren't a salad guy PJ but if you ever lose your mind and want one, their salad bar is top notch.Comment

Thanks Hulagn1971 Yeah, I’d like to do a Pt. 2, there’s several other places I want to try. I just checked and Ruby Tuesdays is no longer in Houston, they’re all permanently closed. 😢 And please, don’t tell anyone but I do like salads! 😳 I have one at home at least twice a week.

We will be hitting up a Hard Rock Cafe Thursday; AC casino, and we don’t want to eat fancy food this trip. I’ll probably get a burger, so I’ll have something to say about it.Comment

After not going to Chili's for years we took the kids a few weeks ago for the 3 for Me $10.99 deal. Better deal than you will get at most fast food restaurants and the bottomless chips and salsa are a definite bonus. Not the best burger you will ever have of course but for $10.99 with fries, a drink, and the chips and salsa it is one of the better deals you will find.Comment

Hahaha, I would love to be a fly on the wall and watch you interact with people at Hooters. I bet "Kayla" (probably just her stage name, IDK asking for a friend) was a big fan of you. LOL.Comment
