W.H. Brakspear & Sons owns more than 150 leased and tenanted pubs, most of which are in the south of England. The public houses offer a variety of beers, wines, and other beverages, along with a menu of food items. The company was founded as a brewer more than 200 years ago but sold its beer business in 2003. (Brakspear beer is still made under license by Marston's-owned Refresh UK.) J. T. Davies & Sons Limited, another tenanted pub company, bought out the Brakspear family's shares in 2006, ending hundreds of years of family involvement in the company.

Don't look for pancakes at this house, because it doesn't serve 'em. Waffle House is the #2 family-style restaurant chain (behind Denny's) with more than 1,500 diners in about two dozen states, mostly in the South. The eateries are popular for eggs, grits, and waffles, as well as their famous "scattered, smothered, and covered" hash browns. In addition to day starters, the menu features T-bone steaks, cheeseburgers, and sandwiches for lunch and dinner. Invoking the 1950s-style diner, Waffle House units are typically free standing and open 24 hours a day. About half the locations are franchised. Joe Rogers Sr., father of CEO Joe Rogers Jr., started the family-owned business with partner Tom Forkner in 1955.

You might say this restaurant company has doubled down on the beef. Wendy's/Arby's Group is one of the largest fast-food companies in the world with more than 10,200 locations encompassing its two brands, Wendy's and Arby's. The #3 hamburger chain behind McDonald's and Burger King, Wendy's oversees more than 6,500 restaurants in the US and about 20 other countries. Arby's, with more than 3,700 eateries specializing in roast beef sandwiches, trails only Subway and Quiznos as one of the largest sandwich outlets. About three-fourths of Wendy's/Arby's restaurants are franchised. Chairman Nelson Peltz and vice chairman Peter May together own more than 20% of the company through investment firm Trian Partners.

Steak and salad fans might have the hots for this company's restaurants. Western Sizzlin operates a chain of more than 100 family steak houses in about 20 states mostly under the name WesterN SizzliN. The eateries serve a menu of standard American fare but are primarily known for their flame-grilled steaks and fully stocked salad bars. In addition to its flagship brand, the company has a small number of locations operating under the names Great American Steak & Buffet and Quincy Steakhouse. Nearly all the restaurants are franchised. Western Sizzlin was acquired by Biglari Holdings in 2010.
