NEW YORK (WPVI) -- Donald Trump's running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, created some strong reactions on social media after he tweeted a picture with his family sitting down for a meal at a local Chili's before heading back home.

Shortly after Pence's tweet was posted, he got numerous replies questioning his choice of restaurants while in the area - some even questioning why he couldn't get a seat at Trump Grill.

According to Chili's website, the only restaurant location in New York City is on Richmond Avenue on Staten Island.
