Chili’s is axing some popular items from its kids and dessert menus while also rolling out a new offering aimed at keeping customers satisfied.
In late September, users in the Reddit group r/Chilis raised alarms when a member posted a picture that seemed to show the chain restaurant’s updated menu.
Notable removals include the Kids Pepperoni Pizza and Kids Cheese Quesadillas, as well as the Mini Molten dessert.
The changes drew mostly negative reactions from the community.
“No more kids’ quesadillas! That’s my daughter’s fav!” one Redditor lamented. “Can they bring back the chocolate shake lol I’m craving one.”
“With the removal of the quesadilla, there’s now nothing left that my son will eat,” one parent commented. “First, they got rid of the oranges, then the corn on the cob, and now the quesadilla.”
Others were focused on the Mini Molten, which they described as an ideal dessert due to its small portion size.
“I’m not letting my kid have a full Molten, that’s way too much,” one user wrote. “The Mini Molten was perfect for the two of us to share.”
“No more Mini Molten??? My daughter will be devastated,” another said. “She loved having her ‘own’ dessert.”
Others were perplexed as to why Chili’s would remove the kids’ quesadilla, considering that it’s a simple dish to make.
“Yeah I’m really confused on that,” one person wrote. “We have tortillas and we have cheese. Why would they discontinue it?”
“It is literally two tortillas baked with cheese,” another chimed in. “They don’t even fry them.”
Fox News Digital confirmed the news with a Chili’s spokesperson, who said the changes were part of a streamlining process.
A company representative explained, “As part of our continuous efforts to simplify our offerings, we are discontinuing Mini Moltens to focus on full-sized desserts, and are also removing Kids Pepperoni Pizza and Kids Cheese Quesadillas from the menu.”
Kids Cheese Pizza will remain as an option on Chili’s kids menu.”
The chain will begin rolling out its new Southwestern Queso on Oct. 7, the spokesperson said.
The Southwestern Queso will replace Chili’s Skillet Beef and White Skillet Quesos.
It is crafted using “American and cheddar cheeses with fire-roasted green chilies, onions and a hint of lime for bold, craveable flavor,” per the company.
My Chili’s members can receive a free portion of the new queso from Oct. 7 to Oct. 21, limited to one per member.
