[edit] History

Steak and Ale was founded in 1966 in Plano, Texas. It remained an independent chain until 1976 when Pillsbury purchased it and folded it into its restaurant group with Burger King, Bennigan's and other stores. In 1982 Pillsbury spun the company and Bennigan's into the independent S&A Restaurant Corpp. In 1988, Metromedia purchased the company. In 1993 the company was merged with the Metromedia Steak Houses chain's Bonanza and Ponderosa, which now runs all three chains under the S&A Restaurant Group brand.[2]
