Established in 1972, Houlihan's is a casual restaurant & bar with restaurants operating throughout the country, 60% of which are franchised. Houlihan's is privately owned by Houlihan's Restaurants, Inc., a progressive company that developed and owns several restaurant concepts including Bristol Seafood Grill, Devon Seafood Grill and J. Gilbert's Wood-Fired Steaks. The company is headquartered in Kansas City. Over the years as many casual restaurant chains scattered the landscape with little differentiation and a heavy focus on ease of execution, Houlihan's has carved a niche for itself somewhere between casual and fine dining, defined by the company's contemporary mindset and alternate focus on style and quality. You'll see that influence in the menu, the building design, indie music soundtrack, staff uniforms, etc. Menu offerings range from wood grilled center-cut steaks to flatbread pizzas and include both contemporary American and ethnic fare. Houlihan's is dedicated to developing menu options that address diverse consumer lifestyles — large and small portion items, vegetarian fare and utilizing natural ingredients from quality-focused partners. Kitchens are run from scratch and the menu is ever-evolving, with development a constant at the company's test kitchen. In the bar, interesting cocktails and wine along with small bites have landed many local ‘Best of' happy hour awards. Houlihan's serves lunch & dinner, and offers brunch in select locations.
