History of Ryan’s Grill

Ryan’s Grill is owned by Buffets, Inc. who has their office located in Eagan, Minnesota. The company owns a series of buffet style restaurants and Ryan’s Grill is in the group. Joe Hatlen and C. Dennis Scott began the company in 1983 acquiring Ryan’s Grill on November 1, 2006 which let them add an additional 340 buffet style restaurants to their organization. Due to the fact that the economy has gotten so bad and taken a turn for the worse it was necessary for the Buffet’s Inc. to file Chapter 11 Bankruptcy in order to save the restaurants.

They wanted to keep all the stores open under the new structuring plan but unfortunately it was necessary for them to close down about 52 of the restaurants nationwide.   Buffet, Inc. was able to emerge from their Chapter 11 Bankruptcy with a stronger balance sheet and a reduced debt. They have grown to be the largest operators of buffet style restaurants. Ryan’s was founded by Alvin A. McCall in 1977 but today they are owned by Buffet Inc.
