Steak Escape

The Steak Escape name and reputation for fresh, quality food are recognized across North America and beyond. Our restaurants are in 23 states and four countries, offering our made-to-order menu of fresh-grilled Cheesesteaks and specialty Subs, Fresh-Cut Fries, Salads, Wraps, Steak Burgers, and Smashed Potatoes. The centerpiece of all our restaurants is the grill, where we proudly prepare our customers' food right before their eyes.

Steak Escape was born in 1982 to provide customers with a dining experience that was different from any quick serve meal they had previously encountered. 29 years later, we remain committed to providing that unique experience, while offering our franchisees the opportunity and freedom to make lifestyle choices that can't be achieved from behind the desk.

"I've been fortunate enough to make a very comfortable living as a Steak Escape franchisee for 19 years. I continue to build new stores because, quite honestly, I've not found a better place to put my money."

Greg Thomas, Steak Escape franchisee for 19 years Jackson, Mississippi
