Description
Steak and Ale was founded as an independent restaurant chain in Dallas, Texas, on February 26, 1966, by Norman E. Brinker. Menu items featured the signature herb-roasted prime rib, Kensington club, New York strip, filet mignon, Hawaiian chicken, and spicy grilled chicken pasta. On July 29, 2008, the chain's remaining 58 locations closed as part of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceeding. In 2014, Bennigan's CEO Paul Mangiamele announced they intended to reopen in 2016, but as of August 2020, no locations have opened and later also stated another possible location in 2021 in CancĂșn, Mexico.
