OUR STORY

1973

You could say this is the year it all began. Larry Lavine, the founder of Chili’s, took his chances at the inaugural Terlingua Chili Cook-Off in Terlingua, Texas. After watching hundreds of people down spicy chili and cold beer, Larry recognized a true taste of Texas that could make for a unique restaurant experience.

Chili's® Grill & Bar

Chili’s Grill & Bar first opened its doors on the corner of Greenville Avenue and Meadow Road in Dallas back in 1975. It was a one-of-a-kind place that pioneered our unique and fun restaurant experience. Guests were sold on the bold flavors, quality ingredients and Texas-sized portions. But, what really stuck out most was the “come as you are” atmosphere and energetic Team Members, making Guests feel right at home. You’ll still find that relaxed and welcoming spirit in our restaurants today.

Maggiano's Little Italy® 

Maggiano’s Little Italy has brought people together to celebrate the love of family and friends ever since the first location opened in Chicago on the corner of Clark Street and Grand Avenue in 1991. Its recipes are authentic Italian classics made in a scratch kitchen and served with family-style dining options. Maggiano’s is a place where weddings, birthdays and anniversaries are celebrated – a place where every Guest feels comfortable enough to laugh out loud, reminisce and indulge.
