Family-Owned

Take-out since 1986.

We opened Steak-Out on March 21, 1986 with a simple, slightly stubborn idea: deliver hot, fresh, quality American meals — char-broiled the way they're supposed to be.

Our Story

A Madison County original.

Steak-Out Char-Broiled Delivery opened on Jordan Lane in Huntsville in March 1986 — founded by David and Rhonda Martin alongside David's brother Danny and his wife Elisa. The goal was straightforward: hot, fresh, quality American meals, char-broiled and delivered to your door.

A second location opened just a year later, in March 1987. Today we operate five neighborhood spots across Madison County, with over 250 employees — more than 150 of whom have been with us over five years.

"Our goal was to deliver hot, fresh, quality American meals. Forty years on, that hasn't changed a bit."
