Chili’s Rib Options Explained
Half Rack vs Full Rack
A half rack has about 6 bones and is plenty for most adults once you add sides. A full rack has about 12 bones — order it if you are very hungry or want leftovers. The full rack costs about $6 more but gives double the meat, so it is better value per bone.
Smokehouse Combo Pick 2
Choose two items such as a half rack of ribs, smoked brisket, Chicken Crispers® or grilled chicken. It is the easiest way to try Chili’s ribs with something else.
Smokehouse Combo Pick 3
Three proteins on one plate. At up to 3,850 calories it is one of the biggest meals on the menu and easily shared by two.
What Comes With Chili’s Ribs?

Tips for Ordering Ribs
- Ask for sauce on the side if you prefer drier, smokier ribs.
- Swap fries for broccoli to save several hundred calories.
- Order a full rack and take half home — it reheats well in the oven at 300°F.
- Ribs are not part of 3 For Me, so the half rack is the cheapest way to try them.
Ribs Price Per Bone
| Order | Approx. bones | Price | Price per bone |
|---|---|---|---|
| Half Rack | About 6 | $25.99 | About $4.33 |
| Full Rack | About 12 | $31.79 | About $2.65 |
The full rack is much better value per bone if you can finish it or take some home.
Best Sides for Ribs
- Coleslaw — cool and crunchy against the smoky ribs.
- Corn on the cob — sweet and classic BBQ pairing.
- Homestyle fries — the most popular choice.
- Steamed broccoli — the lightest option.
- Loaded mashed potatoes — for a hearty meal.
Ribs for Parties
For groups, the Texas-size Baby Back Ribs party platter costs about $79 and serves around six to eight people. Order it at least 24 hours ahead. Ribs also pair well with a Triple Dipper to start and a Presidente Margarita for adults.
