Chili’s Experience
I know it’s been a long time since I’ve written anything but my life has been pretty dull lately. Anyhow, my wife and I got a chance to try out the Chili’s today and I thought I’d share a little bit about our good experience.
We got there around 5:15 and were seated immediately. A friend asked a waitress how busy they had been that day and apparently it wasn’t bad any time of the day. I guess most people are either staying away on opening day, didn’t know it was open, or are just waiting until the weekend (or will never go, I suppose).
Unlike David over at GreaterFalls or some friends of mine who didn’t have a perfect wait staff experience, our wait staff was wonderful and knowledgeable. We pretty much had two waitresses the entire night. The orders came out a little slow but not bad AT ALL compared to some other restaurants (like Monty’s or whatever they are now…yikes!). Even with the waiters that were new at the tables around us were trying very hard. There was an atmosphere about the place that just seemed to indicate everyone was trying very hard to make a great first impression.
Our food was very good. My wife got a salad that she said was absolutely fantastic. I got fajitas (the ones with their wing sauce on them) which was quite tasty. The atmosphere inside was great. I almost forgot I was in Great Falls, actually since I was so happy to be in another good chain restaurant.
Like David said, chain restaurants aren’t bad for Great Falls. They don’t have to run out all of the local restaurants nor do I think they ever could here. It’s just so refreshing to have a wide variety of restaurants to choose from. We are really looking forward to the Macaroni Grill opening down the road — we’ve been to the one in Helena a few times already.
Anyway, I’d highly recommend jumping over to Chili’s and trying it out. This week may be the best time because I think the place is going to be PACKED come this weekend.

I went to Chili’s today. It was GREAT! The service was speedy and the food was tasty! I had to wait about five minutes before I was seated, but that’s to be expected when you hit any restaurant during lunch hour. I’m really glad Chili’s is here!
