Chili's is responding to a backlash over Ruth's Chris Steak House's "business casual" policy, which requires guests to wear "proper attire" and may ask them to eat in the bar or lounge area instead of the main dining room. The chain responded by stating that the only dress code at Chili's is that you must be dressed. This comment quickly gained traction and sparked debate about the two chains' different approaches. The policy also prohibits inappropriate attire, such as inappropriate clothing or nudity, and requires hats to be removed upon entering.
