Fast food customers are choosing Chili’s over McDonald’s after realizing that the former has far lower prices than the Golden Arches.
McDonald’s was once hailed as the king offast foodchains, known for its cheap eats and quick service that cemented it as an American favorite.
In fact, McDonald’s is now charging$18 for a Big Mac comboin some areas, leaving customers shocked as prices continue to rise — despite the chain’s CEO promising to focus on affordability in the future.
Chili’s beats McDonald’s for cheap prices as customers switch favorites
The man pointed out Chili’s ‘3 for me’ deal, which includes a beverage, starter, and entree for only $10. “You can’t go to McDonald’s and spend $10.99,” he argued. So, as we’re all avoiding our fast food for the boycott, I love my neighborhood Chili’s.”
Although Chili’s isn’t categorized as a ‘fast food’ joint, its low prices are attracting diners on a budget. Commenters were quick to praise the restaurant chain, although a few worried that the company’s newfound popularity might result in higher prices later down the road.
“McDonald’s is more expensive AND your burger looks like someone punched it before they put it in the bag,” one user wrote. “I’m going to Chili’s.”
“My husband and I had Chili’s last week and it was $25,” another said. “I was shocked! We had Subway and that was like $30.”
“I was JUST saying this to my godson,” another user excitedly shared. “A Chili’s burger is waaaayyyy better in ALL ways than McD’s.”
“Y’all gonna make Chili’s raise their prices,” yet another warned.
This is just the latest outrage against McDonald’s after fast foodies began flocking to Taco Bell in favor of its comparatively low prices.
