Sirloin Stockade's first restaurant was opened in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in 1966[1] by William L. Keele.[4] The original location had a giant 1,800-pound (820 kg) plastic ornamental cow at the location circa the 1970s.[5] Other locations also had, and some continue to have, large ornamental cows on trailers and mounted atop outdoor signage.[6][7]
By 2008, there were 28 company-owned and managed Sirloin Stockade restaurants and 74 restaurant franchises.[8] [2] 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.[9]
Sirloin Stockade restaurants provide an all-you-can-eat buffet,[10][11] serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sirloin Stockade fare includes broiled steaks, chicken, and fried shrimp.[12]
