Steak-Out

Jim's Steak Out is a family-owned casual dining steakhouse chain with deep roots in Western New York. The company began in 1981 when Army veteran Jim Incorvaia opened the first location on Elmwood Avenue in Buffalo. Over the next four decades, the business grew steadily, adding a total of 10 locations across the region, all managed by family members and trusted associates. The restaurants are known for their straightforward approach—quality steaks, classic American dishes, and a relaxed atmosphere that welcomes both regulars and special occasion guests.

As of October 2025, Jim's Steak Out continues to operate its 10 locations, maintaining a strong presence in the Buffalo area and nearby communities. The chain has always focused on consistency and community, building its reputation through word of mouth and dependable service rather than aggressive expansion or franchising. After Jim Incorvaia passed away in October 2025, leadership transitioned to his nephews and a longtime friend, ensuring the business remains true to its founding values.

The company’s evolution over the past five years has centered on operational continuity and preserving the brand’s legacy. There are no current plans for new locations or franchise development. Jim's Steak Out stands out as a stable, locally-focused operator with a long track record in a competitive market, reflecting both resilience and a commitment to its regional identity.
