    Chili's

    Their fire grilled chicken and shrimp is devine. I havent seen their carb menu so I dont know if its even on it, but its a delicious chicken breast and 5 big grilled shrimp, along with steamed veggies like broccoli and squash. I get it every time I go there, though since i've been on atkins i'm wondering if theres anything they marinate in the chicken that I shouldn't be eating.

    This reminds me, the one thing that I REALLY miss on atkins is chocolate. Chili's molten chocolate cake is my altime favorite thing EVER, and I wonder when I'll be able to treat myself to it once again without worrying too much. Maybe after I lose my 50 i'll be bad and share one with sweety, but knowing me after I get that far in my loss I wont want it anymore.

      Hi,
      I went to Chili's the other day for lunch, so I wasn't really looking at the dinnery type menu where the fish and steak were. I ended up getting the buffalo wings boneless chicken over a salad. The chicken was breaded, but I pulled the outside off anyway. I had a feeling I wouldn't like the taste of the sauce, so it worked out. I got blue cheese in place of whatever dressing they had- chipotle or something like that.

      If I am thinking of the right place, though, it did label carb/fat counts on some section of the menu. I might thinking of somewhere else.

        I had the Wings which are 5 carbs split them with my mom with blue cheese they were good. And then I ordered the chicken fajitas without tortillas. I live in Chicago so they now have low carb options at Chiles. They were delicious but I was so full.

          I went to Chili's tonight for dinner and had the mushroom jack...can we say sooooooo good, it has grilled chicken, bacon, and mushrooms on a frying pan of sorts, on the side they have cheese, lettuce, tomato, and sour cream, and comes with tortilla shells...obviously the tomato and tortillas were avoided and the sour cream used in a very small amount but i did spread some on the meat with some cheese and waited for it to melt a bit....IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD, I cannot say enough about it, I also got a side salad, but I wouldn't recommend waisting your money on such a small salad that is loaded down with carrots and bread crumbs.....anywho, needless to say, dinner was good tonight

            I go to Chili's and get the fajitas. I just ace the tortillas and the rest of it is to die for. I see nothing on there that isn't Atkins too. Yum!

              just a note

              Hello all, one more thing to add...Chili's does marinate all their chicken and steak, so I would be careful. But, you can ask to have anything cooked without the marinade because they do have some without, just ask for it. Good luck, and enjoy!

                The chilli's I go to said they got rid of their low-carb menu. That Chilli's wasn't doing it anymore. Is this just at the one I went to? Sounds like you guys still get low-carb options. I know I can make their regular stuff low-carb, but I miss the menu.

                  We eat at Chili's a couple of times a week...

                  for lunch at work. I have been getting their mushroom burger without the bun. It is yummy!!

                  I think it says on the menu that their chicken and shrimp is marinating in a margarita mix. I would be careful.

                    I pick up a restaurant carb counter book the other day at the grocery checkout and was SHOCKED! :yikes to see that the mushroom jack fajitas w/o tortillas have 24 carbs. What a dissapointment. Just be careful. Stick with the burgers or wings.

                      Even after I posted about the margarita mix, I got these yesterday! Yikes.! I didn't eat much of the onion or peppers, so maybe I was still under 20-- :anger

                        I would think if you didn't eat the onions and peppers, it wouldn't be that bad. Unless they use some kind of high carb marinade or something.
