Chili’s Delivery 2026: Prices, Fees & Cheapest Way to Order
You can get Chili’s delivered through the Chili’s app and website or third-party apps such as DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub. Delivery is convenient but usually costs more: third-party apps often list menu items 10–25% higher than in the restaurant and add delivery and service fees. The cheapest option is almost always carryout ordered in the Chili’s app.

- Use your My Chili’s Rewards perks when ordering in the app.
- Compare app prices before ordering; they differ between platforms.

Tips for Better Delivery Orders
- Order fried items like Crispers® and fries last-minute — they travel better when eaten quickly.
- Ask for sauces and dressings on the side to avoid soggy food.
- Fajitas and ribs hold heat well and are good delivery choices.
- Check your bag for drinks and sides before the driver leaves.
- Tip your driver fairly — they rarely set delivery fees.
Is Delivery Worth It?
Delivery is worth it when convenience matters more than price, such as late at night or in bad weather. If you live close to a restaurant, carryout ordered in the Chili’s app is almost always cheaper, and you keep any Rewards perks.
