Chili’s Triple Dipper Review & Gift Card Giveaway!

Our family loves Chili’s, which I’m sure I’ve mentioned on here before. Seriously – we pass by one every morning and the boys always say, “Hi Chili’s!”

We enjoy going as a family, and also with friends. It’s a great place for families with small children to go – they often offer free kids’ meals, and it’s loud enough that the kids’ chattering doesn’t cause a problem.

We got the chance recently to review the Triple Dipper, and we thought it sounded like a perfect thing to share with friends! The Triple Dipper provides you with three appetizer choices, so there’s sure to be something for everyone. Now, if I could select the dream Triple Dipper it’d probably involve chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate (ooooh, wouldn’t a Triple Dipper: Dessert Edition be great?). But the choices they do offer are pretty great! You can pick from:

• NEW! Loaded Potato Skins
• NEW! Memphis BBQ Skins
• NEW! Honey-Chipotle Shrimp
• Big Mouth® Bites
• Boneless Buffalo Wings
• Southwestern Eggrolls
• Chicken Crispers®
• Wings Over Buffalo®
• Fried Cheese
• Hot Spinach & Artichoke Dip

Brian and I picked the potato skins, Big Mouth Bites, and boneless buffalo wings.

Our friends Paul and Jen tried the wings, fried cheese, and spinach & artichoke dip.

Overall everything was really great! Brian and I liked everything on ours; I especially liked the burgers, and he loved the wings. Paul enjoyed the wings on their Triple Dipper, and Jen really liked the spinach artichoke dip. She liked the cheese sticks better than he did, though – he wished the cheese was a little more stringy. All in all, though, we enjoyed the food and had a lot of fun sampling different things.

The kids had fun, too – we got a free chips and salsa by checking in through FourSquare, and they munched on quite a few chips while we waited for our food. This is C with his friend… G. :)
