A Recipe for Success
Connor Concepts reflects a rich tradition of hospitality spanning three decades of excellence. In 1973, Mike Connor, a University of Tennessee graduate, began his restaurant career with Steak & Ale in Knoxville, TN. He progressed within the company until 1982, when he joined with the Regas family of Knoxville to create the Grady's Goodtimes restaurant chain. Over the next seven years Mike served as president of Grady's and opened seven additional restaurants before merging with Chili's® (Brinker International). Mike continued to serve as concept head of Grady's, opening seven more restaurants in the next two years. In 1992, Mike, along with a loyal team of restauranteurs including Tony Watson, Kevin Thompson, Bo Connor, and Brian Keyes, formed Connor Concepts, Inc. Connor Concepts developed The Chop House® steakhouse, and later went on to create Connors Steak & Seafood™.
Superior Dining Experiences. Everyday.
The basis for Connor Concepts' success is an unrelenting commitment to "Superior Dining Experiences. Everyday." Each concept offers a distinctive dining experience based upon old-fashioned food with an original flair. Connor Concepts remembers the good old days when food preparation and service knew no shortcuts; when fresh, natural ingredients were used in consistently preparing the highest quality food. Connor Concepts is committed to creating and preserving casual dining that exemplifies these old principles in a fresh, young way.
