Company Overviews

About Kelly's Cajun Grill

In 1991, Kelly’s Cajun Grill became the home of the World Famous Bourbon Chicken when it opened its first restaurant in the Sawgrass Mills Mall in Sunrise, Florida. The delicious food and innovative concept fueled the company’s rapid expansion, even surpassing all of IRMG’s other concepts combined. Kelly’s Cajun Grill is a proven concept with an excellent track record. The operations are very streamlined and the restaurants are capable of producing very high sales volumes with a very limited amount of space. Our world famous Bourbon Chicken is a delicious yet healthy dish made with fresh grilled chicken and our own special blend of sauces and seasonings. Other favorites include Blackened Chicken, Blackened Fish, Shrimp Etouffee, Cajun Spicy Chicken, as well as a variety of delicious side dishes.

About Tin Drum Asia Cafe

Founded in 2003, Tin Drum was created to reflect the bustling street-side cafes found throughout Asia. With the limited service operating model of fast casual and the dining experience of full casual, Tin Drum Asia Cafe is setting a new standard for the Fast Casual Dining franchise model. We call it "Fresh Casual." Our menu carries bold and broad flavor profiles; all food is cooked fresh to order in an open kitchen; the food is delivered to the guest at their table rather than being picked up at a counter; all this taking place in an environment with an elevated decor meant to evoke a bustling Asian street market.
