Chili’s

Chili’s gets the award for the longest, most diverse kids’ menu we’ve seen, and many of the items on it represent reasonable nutritional options. Unfortunately, sodium is a major problem. And the adult menu, where older kids might be tempted to wander, is an abomination.

SURVIVAL STRATEGY

Choose wisely, as the difference between good (corn dog) and bad (chicken strips) can be 700 calories. On the adult menu, the Chicken Fajita pita is a solid choice.
