REMEMBER STOPPING AT CHI-CHI'S AFTER WORK?

Founded by restaurateur Marno McDermott and former Green Bay Packers player Max McGee in 1975, Chi-Chi's quickly became a beloved staple in the American dining scene. Initially opened in Richfield, Minnesota, the restaurant stood out with its vibrant Mexican 'eatery' concept, enticing guests with family dining in a Mexican garden atmosphere and offering superb food and pitchers of margaritas.

Now, in 2025, Marno’s son, Michael McDermott, is bringing Chi-Chi’s back for a new era—reimagined with a fresh menu, modern atmosphere and a heartfelt nod to its roots. With a deep understanding of the brand’s history and the hospitality industry, Michael is reviving the Chi-Chi’s name—inviting a new generation to experience its charm and lifelong fans to relive the magic they’ve always loved.
