"In its early days, The Stockyards was a watering hole for cattlemen, cowboys, politicians, and bankers. (Rumor has it that John Wayne was a regular—you can reserve what people say was his favorite table, booth 26, for yourself.) Today, over 75 years later, the spirit of the Old West is still very much alive here, though the restaurant has been restored with oversized leather booths and twinkly crystal chandeliers. The facade may have changed, but the old-timey charm and menu has stayed pretty much the same. This spot goes heavy on hand-cut aged steaks, wild game, and baking soda biscuits. " - lauren topor
