In 1996, two former college roommates with a combined 21 years of restaurant experience, David Harris and Rodney Byrd, purchased the Cary store. After refining the concept and operations, three more stores were opened. When the popularity and success of Remington Grills kept increasing, Harris and Byrd decided to start licensing Remington Grill locations. The company was on its way.

Each restaurant has unique Old West atmosphere (many with hand painted western scenes on the walls), Texas style portions, customer friendly employees and quick service. Menus are standard with some variations in choice and price depending on location. Because customers place orders at the counter and pick up their food, orders are ready in less than 10 minutes. Savings created by processing orders this way, allows for larger portions and higher-quality foods.

Remington Grill has been featured in the national trade magazines Chain Leader and Quick Service Restaurants, and The Business Journal.
