Lee Roy Selmon's was an American casual dining restaurant chain located and founded in Florida by former NFL player Lee Roy Selmon. Lee Roy Selmon's served Southern-style food and comfort food, such as fried green tomatoes and pecan pie.[1][2]
The concept was originally owned by OSI Restaurant Partners until 2008, when it was sold to Outback Steakhouse founders Robert D. "Bob" Basham and Chris T. Sullivan.[1] Lee Roy Selmon continued to work with the company through its transfer of ownership until he died in 2011. There were three locations, all of which were located in west-central Florida.[3] It was announced on May 23, 2018, that the original location would close after 17 years.[4]
