Chili's Grill & Bar Hours: Open & Close Times, Holiday & Sunday Hours by Location

Chili's Hours Today: What 51 Location Pages Show

Every restaurant has its own page under chilis.com/locations with an Hours of Operation block, a services row and a happy hour box. We read 51 of them on November 8, 2026, covering 49 states plus the Banff, Alberta restaurant that the site files under its US directory, and sorted the posted weeks into patterns.

Nothing on the site states one schedule for the whole chain, and the FAQ says restaurant hours vary by location. The bars above describe the largest group of pages, not a promise for your neighborhood.

What Time Does Chili's Close? 10 PM, 11 PM, Midnight and 1 AM

Closing time is where Chili's pages differ most, and almost every page splits the week in two: one close for Sunday to Thursday and a later one for Friday and Saturday. The gap is usually one hour.

• 10 PM weeknights, 11 PM weekends: the most common pairing, 21 of 51 pages.
• 11 PM weeknights, midnight weekends: 9 pages, including Austin, Jensen Beach, Hampton, Roseville MI and Hadley MA.
• Midnight or later on Friday and Saturday: 14 pages in total. Grant, Oklahoma is the latest we saw, with a 1:00 AM weekend close.
• Earlier closes: Clive, Iowa stops at 9:30 PM on Sunday to Thursday, and Frederick, Maryland closes at 10:30 PM on Friday and Saturday.

The pages post one closing time per day and do not separate the kitchen, the bar and the doors. If you plan a late dinner, arrive well before the posted time.

What Time Does Chili's Open? 11 AM, 10:45 AM and Early Airport Hours

Eleven in the morning is the standard opening time: 41 of the 51 pages we read opened at exactly 11:00 AM on every day they stated. Six restaurants open fifteen minutes earlier, at 10:45 AM, and they are scattered: Grant OK, Harlingen TX, Hermitage TN, Evergreen Park IL, Jonesboro AR and Clive IA.

Sunday is a separate case at three locations. Buford, Georgia opens at 10:30 AM on Sunday and 11:00 AM the rest of the week, and the page gives no reason for the earlier start.

No mainstream restaurant page we read opened before 10:30 AM. Only the airport units and Banff open for early meals, and those hours follow flight schedules or tourist traffic, so they do not carry over to a neighborhood Chili's.

Chili's Sunday Hours

On 48 of the 51 pages, Sunday carries the same hours as Monday, grouped with Sunday to Thursday or listed on a single every-day line. Where Sunday stands apart, it usually closes earlier than the nights before it.

• Macedonia, Ohio: Sunday 11 AM – 10 PM, Monday to Thursday 11 AM – 11 PM, Friday and Saturday 11 AM – midnight.
• Nashua, New Hampshire: Sunday 11 AM – 9 PM, Monday to Thursday 11 AM – 10 PM, Friday and Saturday 11 AM – 11 PM.
• Buford, Georgia: Sunday 10:30 AM – 11 PM, with the later opening of 11:00 AM on Monday to Thursday.

In these three the Sunday row is worth reading separately from the Sunday to Thursday group on other pages. Everywhere else, planning a Sunday visit means reading the standard weeknight close.

Chili's Holiday Hours: Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's and More

Chili's publishes one holiday statement. In the Holiday Closings answer on its contact page, it says the restaurants are closed on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day, asks guests to contact the local restaurant for Christmas Eve hours because they may vary by location, and says the restaurants will be open on New Year's Day.

Because the company says nothing about Memorial Day, Fourth of July or Labor Day, we show those dates as check your restaurant. The location pages we read did not list special holiday rows either, so the weekly table is all a page offers.

Chili's Happy Hour Times

Happy hour is posted per restaurant and the FAQ says times vary by location and region. Of the 50 pages whose happy hour boxes we tabulated, 33 showed Monday to Friday, 3 PM to 6 PM.

• Monday to Friday 3 – 6 PM: 33 pages.
• Monday to Friday 4 – 6 PM: Greenwood, South Carolina.
• Every day, all day: Buford GA, Hadley MA, Hickory NC and Bennington VT.
• Monday to Sunday 4 – 7 PM: the Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska pages we read.
• Monday and Tuesday all day on one beer: Midvale, Utah.
• Monday to Thursday 3 – 7 PM, plus 9 PM to close on Friday: Cheyenne, Wyoming.
• No happy hour shown: 6 pages, including Grant OK, Banff, Anchorage, the two airports and Kapolei HI.

Prices and drink lists change from page to page, so we do not repeat them here. Read the happy hour box on your restaurant's page, because a 3 PM start in Texas does not guarantee the same in Missouri.

Chili's Pickup, Delivery, Alcohol To Go and Reservations

Each page we read shows the same three icons in its services row: Pickup, Delivery and Alcohol To Go, even for the Banff restaurant. That uniformity suggests the row is generated from a template, so treat it as a hint and confirm with the restaurant. The site itself says online ordering is available at most locations, that many locations offer catering or delivery, and that menu prices differ by location.

Chili's does not accept reservations according to its FAQ. It offers call-ahead seating instead, and the structured data on each page also marks reservations as not accepted. For a busy Friday night, a call to the restaurant is the way to learn the wait.

My Chili's Rewards, Gift Cards and the Veterans Day Offer

The rewards program is called My Chili's. According to the FAQ on the contact page, members get free Chips and Salsa on every visit at participating locations with a minimum spend of $5, a free birthday dessert, and personalized rewards, and the program is open only in the continental United States and Hawaii. Most restaurants also offer a complimentary birthday dessert and a birthday song on request, per the same FAQ.

• Gift cards can be used in the United States, Puerto Rico, Guam and on American military bases in Japan and Germany.
• Gift card sales are final, and cards bought after March 2005 carry no service fees and do not expire.
• The FAQ says the Veterans Day offer's date, menu information and ID requirements are posted each October, and chilis.com has a dedicated Veterans Day page.

Veterans Day 2026 falls on Wednesday, November 11. The Veterans Day page spells out the current details, so read it for the eligible menu and the proof of service the restaurants will ask for.

How Many Chili's Locations Are There, and Where?

Chili's does not print a restaurant count anywhere we could read on chilis.com. Its sitemap lists more than 1,200 location pages, and that figure includes airports, malls, university campuses and military-base units, so it is a count of pages and not of identical dine-in restaurants.

The sitemap has pages for 49 states and no page for Oregon, plus the Banff restaurant filed under Alberta. The site's own structured data gives the founding year as 1975 and the founding place as Dallas, Texas, and the footer credits Brinker International. The Who We Are page mentions a partnership with St. Jude since 2002 worth more than $100 million.
