Description
Mr. Steak was a steakhouse restaurant chain that began in 1962 by James A. Mather in Colorado Springs, Colorado. At its peak, the chain operated 278 restaurants throughout the United States. It saw a decline in the 1980s when it attempted to update its menu options and instead of steak offered fish, salads, and chicken. Restaurants in central and western Michigan were converted in 1991 to a new chain called Finley's, and the final original Mr. Steak closed in 2009 in St. Charles, Missouri and demolished in July 2022.
