Salisbury House is a restaurant chain based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Known locally as "Sals", the chain is considered a Winnipeg institution. The first Salisbury House restaurant was founded in Downtown Winnipeg in 1931 by Ralph Erwin (September 2, 1902 – June 5, 1983),[2] who named the venture after the salisbury steak. Erwin disliked the term 'hamburger' so named his burger a "nip" to market his hamburgers as a small 'nip' or bite of Salisbury steak.

The restaurant has seventeen locations in Winnipeg and employs over 500 people. In 1979 Erwin sold his majority interest in the chain to a group of investors. In 2001, it was bought from its then Montreal owners by a group of local investors.

In December 2017, majority owners Earl and Cheryl Barish and their partners sold the chain to a partnership group that includes restaurateur Noel Bernier, the Metis Economic Development Fund (MEDF), David Filmon, and several senior managers of Salisbury House.[3]
