COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A popular local restaurant chain has filed for Chapter 11.

Both companies have their roots in Columbus, but are owned by Pittsburgh-based G&R Acquisition Inc.

There are 53 Damon's restaurants.

Damon’s listed $1 million to $10 million in assets and $1 million to $10 million in debt.
