Since 2009 Buffalo Roadhouse Grill has been locally owned and operated. Prior to 2009 there was a chain restaurant named Roadhouse Grill that had 70 stores across the east coast. In 2008 the entire corporation went bankrupt. At that time Jeff Lyons was running 10 of those locations (4 in buffalo, 2 in Rochester and 4 in Columbus Ohio). He and approximately 250 employees and managers lost their jobs over night. In 2009, Jeff partnered up with two old Roadhouse Grill employees and opened Buffalo Roadhouse Grill. He was able to give jobs to over 60 people in Buffalo, hiring the best employees from all 4 closed Buffalo, Roadhouse Grills. Their vision was to have the structure of a corporate restaurant with the feel of a locally owned and run restaurant. They kept some of the Roadhouse Grills staples and added some Buffalo favorites to the menu. A outside patio was added, changed the inside décor and added a jumbotron of tv’s to the bar area. Fast forward to 2019, there is still approximately a dozen employees from the opening of Buffalo Roadhouse Grill that still have say in the direction of the restaurant. All decisions are made by Jeff, the management team and a handful of key employees. Some of those group decisions include the passion for having fresh ingredients, homemade food, and utilizing as many local venders as possible. From our entire staff here at Buffalo Roadhouse Grill, we thank you for supporting Locally Owned and Operated.
