Sirloin Stockade is an American family-style all-you-can-eat buffet steakhouse, restaurant chain and franchisor founded in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in 1966.[1][2][3] As of June 2016[update], 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.
Sirloin Stockade's first restaurant opened in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in 1966.[1] 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, such large ornamental cows on trailers and mounted atop outdoor signage.[5][6] Sirloin Stockade restaurants provide an all-you-can-eat buffet,[7][8] serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sirloin Stockade fare includes broiled steaks, chicken, and fried shrimp.[9] In 2008, there were 28 company-owned and managed Sirloin Stockade restaurants and 74 restaurant franchises.[10][2] As of April 2024, the company operates 9 locations in Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. [1] The restaurants are typically 8,000–9,000 square feet (740–840 m2) in size and have around 100–115 employees at each location.[1] 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.[11]
Historyedit
Sirloin Stockade has grown into Stockade Companies, a multi-concept restaurant company,[10] presently based in Round Rock, Texas.[12] In 2008, the CEO of Stockade Companies was Tom Ford, who began working for the company on its first day in 1966 as a dishwasher at the debut restaurant in Oklahoma City.[1][13] Ford worked in additional positions while attending college, and purchased a Sirloin Stockade restaurant in 1979 in the Austin, Texas area.[13] As of June 2016[update], Ford and Doug Frieling, a franchisee with the company, are the owners of Stockade Companies.[1]
