The Family Chill and Grill\u2019s expanded area is now open as of 11 o\u2019clock this morning.
\nThe restaurant has operated on old Route 220 in Snyder Township near the Bald Eagle intersection for the last three years. Owner Scott Illig said the expansion has been in the works for about six months.
\nThe restaurant has offered ice cream and food items from the grill with sit down service at a counter and tables. The restaurant has had seating for about 50 people prior to the expansion.
\nThe new side of the building will be able to accommodate another 55 to 60 people, according to Illig. The restaurant had been employing about a dozen people and Illig said he\u2019ll be able to employ two to three more people with the expansion.
\nIllig also said the expansion will bring some new features to the menu.
\n\u201cWe are going to offer pizza and subs,\u201d said Illig. \u201cWe are going to make our own bread (and) our own dough right here. Everything will be able to be seen as we\u2019re making it.\u201d
\nIllig explained that concept will be no different than what the restaurant has already been doing.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s almost the same concept that we have in the restaurant,\u201d said Illig. \u201cEverything is cooked right in front of you and you can see it happening. That\u2019s a big seller and a plus for when people come in here.\u201d
\nThe Family Chill and Grill is open Monday through Friday from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on Sunday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
\nIllig operates the store with his wife Juanita. Wayne Kaspick is the restaurant manager.
\nOne highlight each year for the restaurant is an annual fireworks display. The Family Chill and Grill has offered the display during the Fourth of July holiday as a way of saying thanks to its customers.
\nThe restaurant phone number is 684-1990.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
