Scotch & Sirloin

What Scotch & Sirloin does

Scotch & Sirloin operates a single full-service steakhouse in Wichita, Kansas, founded in 1968/1969 and held under private family ownership by Mike Issa since 2014. The business serves fine dining guests with hand-cut Sterling Silver Premium Meats (Cargill) aged a minimum of 40 days and broiled at 1,600 degrees, alongside an extensive wine program featuring over 200 labels stored in a 1,100-bottle temperature-controlled cellar and poured through varietal-specific Riedel glassware. Customer segments include fine dining enthusiasts, corporate and social event clients (weddings, rehearsal dinners, business functions), and retail butcher shop buyers purchasing premium aged steaks for home grilling.

The company's revenue model combines on-premises dining (lunch, dinner, Sunday brunch and holiday buffets), full-service banquet and off-premise catering across five private rooms accommodating 25-300+ guests, an e-commerce butcher shop (online ordering with in-store pickup, including cryopak freshness up to 10 days), gift card sales, and ticketed wine dinner events. Pricing is unit-based across all streams, with butcher cuts priced at $30-$40 and wine dinners historically at $75 per person. Distribution is exclusively domestic and concentrated in the Wichita MSA, with no multi-unit footprint or franchise model.

Operationally, Scotch & Sirloin runs 51-100 employees at its 5325 E. Kellogg Dr. headquarters under Owner Mike Issa, General Manager Karl Bachman (named Riedel Sommelier of the Month, February 2015), and Special Events Coordinator Emily. The business has received ZAGAT Top 20 in America for wine service, a Wine Spectator one-glass rating (2018), the Sterling Silver Beef Operator of the Year (2014), and Business Insider's Most Iconic Steakhouse in Kansas (2026). Revenue is not publicly disclosed and there are no institutional investors, parent entities, or subsidiary holdings.
