What Comes With Chili’s 3 for Me?
A bottomless drink, a starter and an entree, starting at $10.99. It is the value deal that turned Chili’s around, and it often costs less than the entree alone.
Chili’s launched its value push to compete directly with fast food prices, and the timing was right. As drive thru combos climbed past $12 in many cities, a sit down meal with a bottomless drink for $10.99 started to look like a bargain. 3 for Me became the center of Chili’s marketing and its sales turnaround.

Is 3 for Me actually a good deal?
Usually, yes. A Big Smasher Burger with fries costs about $12.99 on its own, so the $10.99 3 for Me version is cheaper than the burger alone and adds a bottomless drink and chips and salsa. A soft drink is about $3.49 and chips and salsa about $5.99 separately, which means the value tier saves roughly $10 compared with ordering the same items individually.
When can you order 3 for Me?
3 for Me is available all day, every day at participating Chili’s restaurants, for dine in and to go. It is not tied to lunch hours. Prices can be a little higher in big cities and airports.
