What Perry’s Restaurants does

Perry's Restaurants Ltd. is a family-owned fine dining steakhouse operator headquartered in Houston, Texas. Founded in 1979 as a small butcher shop on Scarsdale Boulevard by Bob Perry and later expanded by his son Chris Perry, the company opened its first full-service restaurant, Perry's Steakhouse & Grille, in Bay Area Houston in 1993 and has since grown organically to 22 locations across 12 U.S. markets (Texas, Illinois, Colorado, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, and Arizona, with Nebraska announced for 2027). The flagship concept emphasizes an in-house butchered, USDA-aged prime steak program and a signature 7-finger-high, 32oz slow-smoked and caramelized pork chop carved tableside, alongside flaming desserts, private dining, and a craft cocktail program (Bar 79) curated by a corporate sommelier and beverage director. The headcount range is 1,001-5,000 employees.

Revenue is generated primarily through dine-in service at premium price points (e.g., Anniversary Celebration Menu at $90/guest, Prime Rib Thursday at $59, signature pork chop lunch specials from $17.95), supplemented by take-out and delivery, gift card sales (including promotional bundles with reward cards), private dining events, and a direct-to-consumer e-commerce channel (the Chop Online market and ShopPerrysWines.com for Perry's Reserve wines and the new Perry's Reserve Premier Cru Champagne). Distribution is co-located with upscale retail centers (Neiman Marcus at Oakbrook Center, Stonebriar Centre, Short Pump Town Center, Park Meadows) that anchor affluent consumer foot traffic, and the company markets through OpenTable, earned media, email, and community-event sponsorships (Houston Food Bank, Make-A-Wish, North Texas Food Bank). The business remains family-owned with no disclosed institutional investors; operations and growth to date have been funded internally. A pending wage-and-hour matter (Green v. Perry's Restaurants Ltd.) over FLSA tip credit is currently proceeding to trial on damages.
