What type of company is Borrie's?
Emilio "Barrie" Grasseschi opened the doors of the
popular restaurant and lounge in 1938. Borrie's continues
to be a legendary staple for many families across Black
Eagle, Great Falls, all throughout Montana and many states
beyond. Through the last eight decades, four generations of
Grasseschi's have served their loyal customers through thick
and thin. We stay committed to quality and consistency. Every
batch of spaghetti sauce, soup, salad dressings, and the
thousands of hand-rolled raviolis follow the same decades-old
recipes. Borrie's remains a testament to enduring values, great
food, and family ties that will never go out of style.

What are the company values? Goals?
At Borrie's our values run deep. We have been blessed
enough to have the privilege of serving our customers for
83 years. In those 83 years we have had many employees
who have worked 20, 30, 40, and even 50 years of service,
providing the face of Borrie's, many all over the community,
state and country, now know and love. Over the years we have
always taken pride in welcoming our employees as family. We
have built a team, that is beyond our wildest dreams.
As years progress, and we adapt to change, our values
remain the same. The labor and love each family member over
the years has poured into Borrie's and its many homemade
recipes is a true testament of what matters most. We have a
passion for making a difference throughout our community.
The local community supports us daily. In return, we value
giving back where we can and as often as possible. Giving
back and making a positive impact throughout the community
is one of our most important goals.
How long has your business been in GF?

What brought you to or why did you choose Great Falls?
