A Dash of History

While this location is a modern South Jersey staple, the Chili’s legacy is rooted in the early days of American casual dining. The very first Chili’s Grill & Bar opened its doors in 1975 in a converted post office in Dallas, Texas, founded by Larry Lavine. Originally conceived as a small neighborhood bar serving great burgers and chili, the concept rapidly grew. The introduction of fajitas in the 1980s solidified the chain’s Tex-Mex identity, and it was quickly recognized as a pioneer in the casual dining segment. Under the ownership of Brinker International since 1984, the brand grew into a global powerhouse, forever cementing its place in popular culture with the earworm “Baby Back Ribs” jingle.
