About
Muscle Maker Grill was founded in 1995 by Rod Silva with the
goal of offering people a nutritious alternative to fast food
restaurants. A fitness enthusiast since he was 18, Rod
recognized a void in the marketplace for tasty, healthy options.
While running a smoothie store he owned in Colonia, New Jersey,
Rod would bring in dishes he prepared for lunch and dinner.
Customers who smelled the delicious aroma of Rod's meals
asked about the food and Rod began cooking for regular
customers, thus Muscle Maker Grill was born.
In response to customers' requests to be part of the Muscle
Maker Grill Nation, Rod decided to turn Muscle Maker Grill into a
franchise in 2007. Since then, Silva's vision has helped make
Muscle Maker Grill one of the hottest franchise concepts. Today,
there are over 200 Muscle Maker Grill restaurants open or under
development throughout the continental United States. With
international locations on the horizon.
Unlike many restaurants that make healthy claims, Muscle Maker
Grill does not sacrifice taste to serve healthy options. We pride
ourselves on creating healthier versions of your favorite foods
that taste great, making it easy and enjoyable to eat healthy. In
addition, we cater to all different types of healthy eating
lifestyles.
Over the past 17 years, we have created a menu that satisfies
everyone from vegetarians to the carb-free consumer to people
following a gluten-free diet. We have created a friendly, relaxed,
and social environment where people can enjoy great-tasting
food, learn about healthy eating and engage with other
customers.
