Value-Packed Smashed Burgers

Chili's Big Smasher Challenges the Rising Cost of Fast Food

Amidst fierce competition, Chili's Grill & Bar crafted a craveable, value-packed Big Smasher burger to rival the signature offerings of fast food giants.

With this new offering, Chili's updated its 3 For Me menu to include the Big Smasher and a new Crispy Chicken sandwich. With this industry-leading value menu, customers can enjoy a bottomless non-alcoholic beverage, bottomless chips and salsa, plus the Big Smasher with fries for $10.99—a starting price that hasn't changed since 2022.

The Big Smasher is Chili's first burger innovation in three years and it boasts "twice the beef of a Big Mac and flavors fast food lovers will recognize." Layered with diced red onions, lettuce, pickles, Thousand Island dressing and American cheese, this hand-smashed burger patty challenges the rising cost of fast food.
