The story

Founded by Norman E. Brinker in 1975.1

Larry Lavine opened the first Chili's Grill & Bar in Dallas, Texas. The company was renamed Chili's Inc. in 1976.

Chili's Inc. was sold to Norman E. Brinker in 1983, and took the company public a year later. The first Romano's Macaroni Grill opened in Leon Springs, Texas, in 1988.

In 1991, Chili's Inc. became Brinker International, Inc. In 1992, the company entered into an agreement with Pac-Am Food Concepts to expand the Chili's brand to the Far East.

In 2000, Norman Brinker stepped down as company chairman; he died in June 2009.

In November 2012, Brinker announced the election of Wyman Roberts as CEO and President of Brinker International, and President of Chili's Grill & Bar, effective January 1, 2013. He served in this role until his retirement in June 2022 and was succeeded by Kevin Hochman. Roberts' Brinker tenure includes his role as President of Chili's since 2009. Previously, Roberts also served as Brinker's Chief Marketing Officer and President of the Maggiano's Little Italy brand.

In May 2022, Brinker International announced it joined the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation (NRAED)’s SkillBridge program. The program, in partnership with the Department of Defense, “helps transitioning service members prepare for a Department of Labor-approved restaurant management apprenticeship program.”

In June 2024, CFO Joe Taylor retired and was succeeded by Mika Ware.
