Steak and Ale announces first Dallas-Fort Worth location in restaurant chain’s comeback

The Steak and Ale restaurant chain, founded in North Texas, is making a comeback, and officials announced this week that its first Dallas-Fort Worth location is planned for Grand Prairie.

Steak and Ale closed its original restaurants after declaring bankruptcy in 2008.

In January, parent company Legendary Restaurant Brands announced the signing of a development agreement with Endeavor Properties to open new locations in several markets throughout the United States, according to RestaurantNews.com. New restaurants also will include locations of the company’s brands Bennigan’s and Bennigan’s On The Fly

“The revival of Steak and Ale has truly been a labor of love for our team, and while we were eager to reintroduce the brand, we understood the importance of finding the ideal partner first,” said Paul Mangiamele, chairman and CEO of Legendary Restaurant Brands, in a news release. “We believe we found that partner in Endeavor. They understand how much our loyal guests miss the polished casual steakhouses and the value-driven, family-friendly food and service at Steak and Ale, just as they long for the signature Bennigan’s menu and memorable dining experiences. We’re looking forward to growing together through this exciting relationship.”

Grand Prairie Mayor Ron Jensen confirmed to WFAA-TV that the restaurant is expected to open a location in the city off of Interstate 30 in 2024.

The Steak and Ale menu will feature past favorites, including its popular unlimited salad bar and a variety of steaks, as well as new offerings such as a prime rib carving station.
