Price, calories, and timing for the Chili
The numbers first, so you can decide before you reach the speaker.
- Usually served: Most of the day (after breakfast at many stores).
- Typical US price: $3.99. Franchise owners set their own, so your store can charge more or less.
- Typical calories: 230 for the standard build, before extra sauce or a combo drink.
What’s usually on the Chili
This is the standard US build. The crew can hold a sauce or add bacon if it is already on the line.
- Beef and chili base
- Beans
- Tomatoes and chili spices
- Often finished with cheese or onions if you ask
What to order with it
A named combo bundles fries and a drink. Pick sides on their own when you want to keep the calories or the total down.
- Natural-cut fries or chili
- A small Frosty or fountain drink
- Upgrade to a combo only if you want the bundled drink/fries
Allergens, fryers, and cross-contact
A clean ingredient list is not the whole story, because most stores fry several foods in the same oil. Here is what this item usually contains.
- Milk or dairy shows up often: cheese, mayo, a Frosty, or cream.
How to order it at the speaker
Most kitchens will hold mayo, add bacon, or put chili on fries when the ingredient is already on the line. Expect a small upcharge, and skip invented secret-menu names.
- Say the item name first, then the change (“no mayo,” “extra pickle”).
- Delivery menus can be shorter and cost more than the dining room.
- Before about 10:30 a.m., many lunch sandwiches are not on the board yet.
