Steak Escape Sandwich Grill is a restaurant brand that focuses on freshly prepared sandwiches inspired by the classic cheesesteak, with preparation visible to diners. The concept began in 1982 in Columbus, Ohio, when two co-founders opened the first store in the French Market, drawing on South Philadelphia cheesesteak traditions. Today the chain has grown to roughly 150 locations across the United States and Mexico, with plans to enter Bahrain. Its target customers are casual diners seeking quick, freshly made sandwiches in an environment that emphasizes show cooking and a lively atmosphere. Based in Columbus, Ohio, the company is a mid-sized restaurant group operating across multiple markets. In April 2026, Steak Escape announced a partnership with Square Inc. to modernize 23 locations.
