On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Chilis against 4.9 for Denny's. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chilis has 681K ratings behind it against 93K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 22% of Chilis's written reviews are positive against 35% of Denny's's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Chilis ships an update every 3 weeks, Denny's weekly. Both last shipped on October 15, 2026.
