Summary

Hillstone Restaurant Group is headquartered at 2710 E Camelback Rd in Phoenix, Arizona, and is a privately held, family-owned restaurant company. Founder George Biel opened the first restaurant, named Houston's, in Nashville in 1977. The group grew from a base in Atlanta into cities across the South, the Midwest and the Northeast, then expanded to the West Coast in the early 1990s. It operates restaurants under many different names, each with its own menu and design, and several former Houston's locations now carry the Hillstone name. Concepts include Bandera, Cherry Creek Grill and Houston's, plus 10 others. Restaurants are casual dining and serve lunch and dinner with American dishes. A typical restaurant offers roughly 400 seats in about 10,000 square feet. The company's restaurants are located in major metropolitan areas across the United States.

The Restaurant Enterprise Index focuses primarily on companies with a substantial role in restaurant operations. Investment firms, financial sponsors, and other ownership partners are generally not included unless they also play a meaningful operating role; an otherwise qualifying entity may also be omitted when sufficient reliable information is unavailable.

The ownership hierarchy follows the entity structure from the bottom up, showing the profiled entity in relation to its parent organizations, including its ultimate parent. When the entity owns or operates concepts beneath it, up to three are displayed.

Verify Our Data Methodology

  • Foundation: Active state business registries form the primary backbone of every record.
  • Sources: Publicly available filings throughout, including public Franchise Disclosure Documents (FDDs).
  • Integrity: Zero proprietary third-party databases utilized.
  • Verification: Entity/concept records are validated at the source by our in-house research team.

Leveraging Human-Verified Connections

  • Collection: Filings and public records are gathered through intake procedures.
  • Verification: In-house researchers review every record before it enters the database.
  • Ownership Chain: Where relationships can be established, researchers work upward from a concept headquarters or single concept through parent, grandparent, and ultimate parent, resolving operators into one connected structure.

Maintaining the Longitudinal Record

  • Duration: Continuous tracking since 1997. Twenty-nine years of unit-level history.
  • Method: Same methodology applied across the full period so year-over-year comparisons hold.
  • Change Tracking: Openings, closures, ownership transfers, and operator consolidation are recorded as they occur, not backfilled.
  • Result: Expansion and contraction trends visible over decades, not snapshots.
