The History of the All Steak-See The Beginning...
 

 

In 1934, The All Steak Restaurant was actually founded in Pulaski, Tennessee by Millard Buchmann.  The original name was to have been "All Steak Hamburgers", but when the sign was made, Mr. Buchmann did not have the money to add the word "Hamburgers" to it. 

In 1938, Millard Buchmann moved The All Steak Cafe from Pulaski, TN to Cullman, to a small part of the building where Bennett's Home Supply is now located.  Here, Joe Shelton and Al Gasser joined him in the business.  In 1939, they bought Werner's Cafe from Mrs. Gus Werner and moved The All Steak across the alley.

 

Soon, Al Gasser and Millard Buchmann sold their interest in the restaurant to Joe Shelton who operated The All Steak until 1946 when he sold it to Lucille and Ewing Wallace.

After a 1962 fire occurred at The All Steak, Mr. and Mrs. Wallace rebuilt in the same location and were back in business in 1963.  The King Edward Room was restored and the Crest Room, the Plaid Room, the Hunt Room and a cafeteria were added on the second floor.
