History

The first restaurant was founded by Texas restaurateur Philip J. Romano in Leon Springs, Texas (now a district of San Antonio) on April 19, 1988. (The original location is now independently operated as The Grill at Leon Springs.)

Brinker International, Inc. bought the franchise rights to the company on November 22, 1989.

Brinker announced on August 8, 2007, that it would begin exploring a buyer for the 230 company-owned stores. On December 18, 2008, Brinker announced that a majority stake in the chain was sold to Mac Acquisition LLC, an affiliate of Golden Gate Capital. As of June 29, 2011, Brinker still holds a 15.6% minority interest in the concept.

On 6 February 2013, Ignite Restaurant Group announced the acquisition of Romano's Macaroni Grill from Golden Gate Capital through a $55.0 million all-cash transaction.

Redrock Partners LLC purchased the concept from Ignite in April 2015 for $8 million US.
