As one of America's oldest and most enduring casual theme restaurant chains with over 40 years of successful operation, the Ground Round^® Grill & Bar has a long and proud history. Our restaurant concept was the pioneer of casual dining, the fastest growing segment of the restaurant industry. Through the years, the Ground Round^® Grill & Bar has adapted and evolved its brand image to fit the changing needs of our guests and their lifestyles. A lot has changed since 1969, but we've always been at the forefront of major trends, which have helped define the restaurant industry's casual dining segment over the last three decades.

Today, our company and brand is owned and operated by our franchise owners. This group of experienced and dedicated operators is poised to continue to upgrade the food quality and taste profiles of our Ground Round^® menu and product offerings. The franchise owners and leadership of the Ground Round^® brand operates under the company name of Independent Owners Cooperative, LLC; operating with more than 28 locations in 12 States spread across the Midwest and Northeast areas of the United States.
