Sirloin Stockade

Sirloin Stockade Steakhouse & Buffet is an American family-style all-you-can-eat buffet steakhouse restaurant chain and franchisor founded in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in 1966.[1] As of, the parent company, Stockade Companies, operated over 80 restaurants in the United States and Mexico. Some restaurants are company-owned, and some are operated as franchises. Some Sirloin Stockade restaurants have closed in recent years, some of which were in business for a significant time. As of April 2024, there are nine Sirloin Stockade locations in Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. The restaurants are typically 8000 - 9000 sqft in size and have around 100–115 employees at each location.[2]

History

Sirloin Stockade's first restaurant was opened in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in 1966[2] by William L. Keele.[3] The original location had a giant 1,800-pound (820 kg) plastic ornamental cow at the location circa the 1970s.[4] Other locations also had, and some continue to have, large ornamental cows on trailers and mounted atop outdoor signage.[5][6]

By 2008, there were 28 company-owned and managed Sirloin Stockade restaurants and 74 restaurant franchises.[7][8] Circa December 2014, a Sirloin Stockade location in Galesburg, Illinois discontinued offering steak in its buffet due to escalating beef and food prices, but continued to offer steak as a menu item.[9]

Menu

Sirloin Stockade restaurants provide an all-you-can-eat buffet,[10][11] serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sirloin Stockade fare includes broiled steaks, chicken, and fried shrimp.[12]
