Not in Connecticut Yet, But Steak and Ale Restaurants Are Back

I just read some good news, and it's got me driving down memory lane. Steak and Ale, one of my favorite restaurant chains in the 1970's-2000's, has been resurrected after almost 16 years.

The bad news? The new Steak and Ale restaurants that are being built are nowhere near Connecticut, yet. According to a recent article on msn.com, there's a new sheriff in town at Steak and Ale. Paul Mangiamele bought the rights to the brand, and recently opened up the first newly reimagined Steak and Ale Restaurant in August 2024. The new Steak and Ale is located just outside of Minneapolis in Burnsville, Minnesota. Mangiamele does have a plan to slowly expand the Steak and Ale Restaurant empire again, but he's unfortunately going to take his time doing it.

At this moment, fifteen new Steak and Ale restaurants are being planned to open over the next couple of years across the Midwest. New locations will be built in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and South Dakota. The Dinner menu at the Burnsville, Minnesota location does not have prices next to the items, but all of your old favorite cuts of steak have made it to the menu. Sirloin, Porterhouse, Ribeye, Filet, NY Strip, and Steak and Ale's signature Kensington Club are all there.

What I do not see in any of the new marketing is their classic tagline 'Come Sup With Us At Steak and Ale'. That was the line that kept me coming back for decades, here's some classic Steak and Ale commercials to help you remember.
