About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for business meals
  • Charming
Arizona's Original Steakhouse.

Step through the copper entry doors and feel the warm authentic atmosphere of this classic American Steakhouse. Once adjacent to the largest feedlot in the world, the restaurant is a living history museum that documents Arizona's cattle industry with historical photos and a Western Art collection. Established in 1947, The Stockyards has been serving the best hand-cut aged steaks and prime rib for 70 years. The menu also features wild game, seafood, poultry, pork, and a wide variety of appetizers, salads and desserts. Be sure to visit the 1889 Saloon where you will find a solid mahogany hand carved bar, crystal chandeliers, and walls adorned with original murals that were painted in the 50's. Step back in time and relax while you enjoy an Arizona landmark. Banquet space and private dining rooms are available, and The Stockyards is always an excellent choice for groups.

    Hey Restaurant, not to be missed in the Phoenix area. It is the original stockyards of Phoenix bag in the 1800s. The interior is beautiful. The food is amazing and the service is excellent worth every penny spent.

    The service was a little slow but the restaurant was very busy so that’s understandable. We ordered an appetizer that we never received (but we weren’t charged for it); I think the waiter was so busy he forgot about it. Nonetheless the food was amazing as always!
