"Fleming's was not part of Bloomin' from the start, but it got brought into the fold very quickly. It was founded in 1998 in Newport Beach, California by namesake Paul Fleming and Bill Allen. Fleming is a longtime restaurateur who moved from opening Ruth's Chris franchises into starting his own restaurants. He might be most famous as one of the co-founders of P.F. Chang's, and if you didn't know those, the chain got its initials from the combination of "Paul Fleming" and co-founder Philip Chiang. So Fleming's and P.F. Chang's are actually named after the same person."
"While Fleming's started as an independent steakhouse it quickly started expanding, and only a year later it was partnering with Bloomin' to open new locations as joint ventures. Bloomin' took over the brand in the early 2000s, and it has since expanded to more than 65 locations across the country."
"Menu wise, Fleming's is pretty much your standard steakhouse with some high-end ingredients. It serves 100% USDA Prime beef, including some wagyu and dry-aged steak options. It also has more luxurious accompaniments, including a full chilled shellfish tower, oysters, the ability to add trifle-poached lobster & caviar to a steak, and sides like pancetta Brussels sprouts and sweet corn br&uc"
