The Steak Escape was established in Columbus, Ohio, in 1982 by Ken Smith and Mark Turner. One year later, Escape Enterprise Ltd. was formed, and Steak Escape started franchising mall sites, as well as locations in college campuses, airports and sports arenas. The privately held company specializes in genuine Philadelphia cheesesteaks and operates in more than 30 states as well as overseas.
Coyote Canyon is a casual low price
concept with an exciting twist. It is an all-you-can-eat steak buffet
with juicy steaks, tender chicken and steakburgers, all prepared right
before your eyes on the display grill.
Guests can also enjoy our hot and cold
buffet, soups, salads, side dishes and vegetables as well as a
full-service bakery with rolls, muffins, pies, cakes and soft serve ice
cream with a variety of toppings.
