This old-school Arizonian steakhouse is better pictured in sepia tones, as its long history and original feel make it one of the most true-to-its-origins places in Phoenix. Tagged as “Arizona’s original steakhouse”, The Stockyards opened its doors back in 1947 and continues to pay tribute to the state’s heritage by offering a menu based on its historical past: beef. The restaurant promises only the finest corn-fed, aged steaks and prime ribs coated in flavorful ingredients and paired with hearty sides that will leave guests feeling full and most definitely satisfied.

And, the excellent service will certainly make any guest feel right at home.
