The Stockyards Steakhouse

Outstanding atmosphere and great waiter. Only criticism I can provide is my steak came out more Medium-Well than the ordered Medium-Rare. I’ve seen the movie “Waiting” so I didn’t say anything about my food... Hurt my feelings a bit but I still ate it. I hope they don’t normally overcook $75 steaks.

Had dinner at The Stockyards after two friends who’d been before invited us. They were right on point about it! The steaks were excellent, the vibe was classic and comfortable, and our server Tracy was fantastic. Friendly, attentive, and made everything easy. Thumbs-up! We’ll definitely be back!

This restaurant lives up to its history. High quality, excellent service, environment and food. The special was a wagu flat iron steak and it may have been the best steak my husband ever had.

I’ve come here for lunch and dinner. The ribeye I had for lunch was better than the one I had at dinner, however they were both amazing. I recommend sitting at the bar here if you’re having more of an intimate meeting. It’s beautiful and the bar staff are very knowledgeable.

Great place. Their prime rib has zero flavor. I’ve had 100 times better prime rib in PA. For being their signature item they need to step it up. Seems like you are paying for atmosphere and not quality meat at this place.

We had dinner in the saloon at The Stockyards and loved every minute of it. The cocktails were spot-on—reasonably priced and strong, just how they should be. The whole place has that classic, old-school steakhouse vibe with a real Arizona feel. The staff were generous and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The steak? Perfectly cooked. What really sets this place apart is that your meal includes soup or salad and a side—none of that overpriced à la carte nonsense you find at other steakhouses. We’ll definitely be coming back. This is the kind of authentic Arizona steakhouse experience you want.

Went to Stockyards for a special occasion and it was not a good experience. Spent well over $150 for the meal and it left us wanting more. The steak and parmesan potatoes was ok, asked for rare steak and it was over done and u der seasoned. The meatloaf and photo dish was almost uneaten and I was not impressed by the mashed potatoes that tasted and had the textures of boxed mash and the meat loaf was grey and mushy. Pecan pie, rolls, onion rings and wine was the only good part

We were in the town for JP Morgan Chase training in Tempe, AZ! Heard a lot about the quality of the steaks of this place. Glad we chose the restaurant for dinner. I had Crab cakes for appetizer. And had 16 oz Ribeye steak as the main dish. Their House Salad was excellent. It was very delicious. If I go back to the town, I will certainly visit again.

Our waitervwas very good at personal relations..helpful and a good listener. Loved the shrimp cicktail, the ribeye, andcthevpotatoes. Also that cowboy cornbread w honey butter. Had a very enjoyable evening. K. Kostrzewa

Absolutely beautiful interior, and gives a very upscale western vibe. The bar is gorgeous, even if you aren't partaking you should go sneak a peek! The meat here did not disappoint. The prime rib and the K4 ranch beef were amazing and can't recommend enough. Our waiter was incredibly knowledgeable and on point! Would absolutely recommend for a nice dinner, anniversary, special occasion or even just to try something new. It is worth the price point.

We've enjoyed the Stockyads since the 70's when there was a cattle operation by the Resturant. Lots of history here. The ambience is formal Western, nicely appointed dining rooms. Service is second to none. As with all our Beef House visits we selected the ribeye steaks and sides. The steak were perfectly cooked and flavorful! This is one of several must visits when we make it back to Phoenix. Highly recommended. $$$$ and worth it!

Tom is our waiter was very attentive, great sense of humor and very knowledgeable. He made our dining experience a memorable one. The Baron's Manhattan is Superb, made with Maker's Mark Bourbon. Western Sidecar was well balanced and delicious. The Biscuits and Cornbread with Honey Butter is fantastic. The 14oz Ribeye from K4 Ranch ( Farm To Table) Prescott, AZ was to die for. Sides were Spot On and the Bread Pudding was excellent! We will be back

The steaks are fantastic and sides were included. I just love the atmosphere reminds me of Kitty's Place The bar is beautiful love the authentic Western decor. Staff is upscale and knows their menu. Nice variety of steaks.

I love the high quality of this steakhouse without the need to get all fancy or dressed up. I came here for my father in law's birthday and it surpassed expectations. The food was so good. I ordered the Chateaubriand for Two and it was the perfect amount of food all in 1. I ordered it rare and it was so tender and juicy. I loved the flavor and texture. The Parmesan potatoes were my favorite side and the creamed horseradish was my favorite "sauce". All of it was good though. I do wish the sides were more hot. When the food came out, it was cool/slightly warm. Tom and the rest of the wait staff were so friendly and attentive. They did great! The atmosphere was western and casual/seme formal. A nice dinner to enjoy with parents, grandparents, or a date.

Absolutely gorgeous place!!! we came in as part of our wedding anniversary extravaganza for just a cocktail and appetizer. delicious steak bites, and super delicious cosmo. we really enjoyed this restaurant , and i cant wait to come in for a meal!! We had really great service in the bar area as well.

Came here for date night. From the moment you walk in the decor grabs your attention. There's so much history to this restaurant and I loved walking around after dinner to check it all out. The service was amazing. Very attentive server and staff. The star of my dinner was their seafood chowder soup. Omg it was delicious! I got the New York strip with garlic mashed potatoes and that delicious soup. My hubby got the ribeye with a salad and a loaded baked potatoe. I asked for my steak medium well but it was more on the rare side, my husband's was cooked just right. Good thing he doesn't mind his steak really bloody, so we switched. The food was good but nothing mind blowing except for that soup our steaks were under seasoned. Overall a good experience in a historic restaurant.

We have been to the stockyards several times with our family! It is very friendly and casual. We have enjoyed the service and the atmosphere every time. It gives you the old school feel with tons of food and drink options. Great place to enjoy a night out or with your family, always easy going and the food is solid! Will be back!

Love that the beef here is sourced from Arizona. Great quality and cooked to perfection. Entree's come with soups or salad but they have other salads like Caesar and garden. Service was excellent. They really do a good job making sure you have a great experience. Nice bar and table was comfortable. Huge bourbon selection.

Brought my dad for a late father days dinner on Monday evening and we had a great time. The hostess got us checked in and we were seated right away. Cold water was served immediately and Dan our server came over and introduced himself. He gave us time to look over the menu. Warm biscuits and corn bread were brought out and mmmm both breads were yummy. We ordered: 1 Grilled Chopped Steak and a side salad ($32) 12 oz Patty, Caramelized Onions and Mushroom Gravy 1 Herb Roasted Half Chicken and a side of green chili soup ($32) Whipped Potatoes and Seasonal Vegetable 1 Pan Seared Tomahawk Pork Chop with a side salad ($42) Parmesan Potatoes and Apple-Cranberry Chutney The food was delicious and the portions were huge. Both salads were crisp and fresh and the green chili soup had so much flavor. My roasted chicken was flavorful and juicy. The mashed potatoes were our favorite as they were very fluffy. My dad enjoyed his pork chop and said it was cooked well. The chopped steak was thick and the gravy was really good. The broccolini was our seasonal vegetable and these were cooked perfectly, not at all overcooked and they had a nice subtle crunch. Service was top notch from the start. Dan was attentive and friendly, thank you! The inside of the restaurant has so many cool artifacts. We walked around after we ate and enjoyed looking at the old photographs. Total with tip: $140

First time visit, and it won't be the last. This is considered Arizona's original steakhouse since its establishment in 1947! This place does give you that warm and fuzzy feeling of an old-fashioned Westernesque steakhouse with its cowboy-themed mood, design and décor. The place gives you a nostalgic old west ambience and flavor along with its culinary offerings is a testament to their longevity. Although we stopped in for our first time every visit, we were impressed. Not only at the grandeur of the incredible décor, but its magnificent bar likened to San Francisco's Pied Piper, with obviously less grandeur, but strong determination in both its atmosphere and service. Although I cannot attest honestly to its exceptional overall cuisine, I can say that what we had for an early evening, quick bite, happy hour-like pitstop was very, very enticing for us to return soon for a full fledge meal. Our selection of a delectable and perfectly prep'd Prime Rib Sliders order with fries and the Tenderloin Sliders, along with their Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Onion Rings was well worth the visit. The accompaniment of both my Wife's glass of Sea Sun Pinot Noir and my draft rendition of Scottsdale Blonde made it all the better. Having enjoyed both their Prime Rib and Tenderloin samplings, they have encouraged us to come back to enjoy some of their other meat-inspired delicacies. I am sincerely looking forward to trying their Bison Meatloaf, and an offered fave comfort dish of my Calves' liver and not to mention the Prime Rib. As I previously mentioned, we'll be back - you've demonstrated with our first visit, that the Stockyard's deserves our second visit. Soon!

I would give this place 3.5 stars Service- 5/5. Great friendly service. Our waitress worked here for 12+ years was attentive and very knowledgeable with the menu items. Ambiance- as this is now a historical landmark being one of the first steak houses in Phoenix serving the same recipe. As you walk it, the restaurant is clean and gives you a sense of an history with plaques and pictures hanging down the walkway towards the restroom/ bar. Food- crab cake: 5/5- I enjoyed these crab cake as it was packed with lots of real crabs vs fillers. Pic was missing the sauce, but once we got it. It complemented the crabcake really well. I would like is a mixture of Sriracha and garlic aïoli Steak- 3/5- I was expecting my steak to be tender, but it wasn't. Not sure if if bc it's an AZ cut (not sure if it makes a difference, but what was advertised). How I would describe it is... tastes like a select vs.choice vs prime. IYKYK DESSERTS- 5/5 since we went for our anniversary, they gave us free desserts and it was delicious.

The inside is amazing and what you would expect for a traditional steak house. Service was really good and attentive. The prime rib was cooked perfect and had ample flavor. My favorite part of the meal was the steak soup. It was beyond flavorful and I could have had it for a main dish. The pecan pie was excellent and super rich. Highly recommend this place.

We've wanted to visit the Stockyards Restaurant for years, having been born and raised in Arizona. So, when we visited Phoenix this week, we decided to celebrate two family birthdays there. It was wonderful. The restaurant oozes with history, with interesting decor adorning the walls. The food was spectacular. We ordered the chateaubriand for two, and every bite was lean, tender and delicious. The wedge salad was a great start, and for dessert one of us ordered the sour cream cheesecake and the other ordered pecan pie. Again, every bite was delicious. To top it all off, the wait staff was perfect: friendly and attentive. We wouldn't hesitate to go back.

This was a fancy upscale restaurant. Good quality if you like beef. I unfortunately do not, and the bar menu was lacking salads, vegetables or a chicken sandwich.

After living in Phoenix for over twenty years I finally made it to Stockyards for AZ fall restaurant week. The food and drinks were amazing, the waiter seemed a bit grumpy. I had the strawberry cosmo which was perfectly balanced and after two I was feeling no pain. I started with the steak soup which was hearty and delicious and then had the prime rib with loaded baked potato. Second best prime rib after Chelsea's kitchen. Lastly finished with the chocolate mouse and it was a great finishing touch. Aside from the waiter seeming to have a bad night this was great. Looking forward to trying a new steak cut on next visit.

It looks very unassuming from the outside, but once you're inside you can feel the history of this famous steakhouse. Met up with friends for happy hour so my experience was @ the 1889 Saloon section of the restaurant. I loved the ambience, vibe and the service. The food from the HH menu however was disappointing. The Queso Fundido $14 tasted more like warm hummus and the tortilla chips were very bland. Definitely needed some salt on them. 2 prime rib sliders with fries $18 was good, had a good amount of meat. The fries were very dry. Citrus Burnt Crème (their version of crème brûlée)-$14, not on HH menu, was smooth, light, and not too sweet. I'm not a fan of overly sweet desserts so it was perfect for me. It was definitely a fun, cool restaurant to check out, but I don't think I'll return for happy hour as I just wasn't impressed with the food. Might return for dinner for a special occasion.

Tge food tasted good but tge prices were steep for what I got! I decided to order off of the lunch menu. I had a small cup of soup and half of a tuna sandwich. It didn't come with any sides, so I decided to order some onion rings, which were delicious! I also ordered a Coke with my meal. Altogether with tip, it cost me $40. In their defense, it is an upscale-ish restaurant . In my defense I could've gotten a nice steak dinner for $40 instead of a half tuna sandwich and a small cup of soup.... My service was great . I would like to come here another time and try some of their steak to see if the quality of their beef is worth it.. I would recommend this place to a friend if they knew that they were going to be spending 20+ dollars on their meal for a lunch and probably 30 to 40 on a dinner .

I saw Elk Medallions on the menu (I love elk) and came here for a work dinner. The restaurant felt like walking into an old time saloon...wood paneling and detailing everywhere. Loved it! Service was great, we had a few waiting on us and they all seemed very knowledgeable. I got the Elk Medallions...I must not have paid attention to the menu because the portions felt more like Elk Strips. While I was disappointed in the portion size they were cooked and seasoned well. The food is good, but I have other streak houses I'd rank higher. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'll use the 8lbs of elk hamburger in my freezer to satisfy my elk craving next time. 3 stars is a little above average...for me that fits.

For our brother's weekend, we booked a reservation at the Stockyards restaurant in Tempe! It was over the top. The service was incredible; two servers took care of us for our table of 10. And the entire inside was built like an old Western movie. The walls were covered with unbelievable artifacts and pictures of what it used to look like out in the West. As for the food... It was incredible! I saved a ton of room throughout the day by not eating and saved up for this meal. Totally worth it! I ended up getting the clam chowder, a side salad, a side of mushrooms, and some scallops with a medley of veggies. After all, I ended up getting the cheesecake, which was to die for, and a two-thumbs-up meal. Overall experience: 9.7 Scallops: 9.6 Mushrooms: 9.1 Chowder: 9.3 Cheesecake: 9.4 Scale system 10/10 would be what I want for my last meal 9.9-9.3 driving out of my way to get this 9.2-8.0 like the place and would go back 7.9-7.0 I would come here again if it were presented and don't have anything bad to say 6.9 and below - thanks but no thanks after trying once

This was one of the worst meals I have had in quite some time. The prime rib was dry and bland and, frankly, very unappealing. My son's chopped steak was an equally tasteless mess of stuff! All we wanted was a nice steak meal to celebrate my graduation from ASU before flying back home. Instead, we got an expensive disappointment hurriedly slapped together by a lunchtime crew doing its best to keep up with the rush of holiday parties! The house/garden salad was slathered in dressing, and the mashed potatoes an unappealing heap of goo. The plates had streaks on the sides, worsening the meals' lack of appeal! My son, a student/retail worker, reminded me to point out that the service was good. I should have photographed the two dishes, but this was not what I thought of as a $71 meal. Not by any stretch of my imagination. Major disappointment and waste of money.

My partner and I just finished suit shopping for our wedding coming up and we were running about 15 minutes behind. We called the restaurant and they said not a problem and we were seated quickly upon arrival. The ambiance was pretty dark, like a traditional steakhouse people seemed pretty happy dining there. As many of us helpers know, service is a major part of an experience especially if you are spending a good amount of money. Unfortunately our server seemed more bothered than anything. He didn't give much of a welcoming and at first I thought this was just the way that the servers are. But we soon heard a women server next to us who was a LOT more vibrant and expressive with welcoming the couple, giving them a brief history of the place as well as a run through of recommendations and specials. I don't typically drink alcohol anymore but was considering a glass of wine with my steak and the server just kept coming within like a couple minutes "you want a drink yet" . Which the attitude turned me off of ordering. Luckily the food was great! Awesome rolls to start off including jalepeno corn bread and honey butter. Salads were typical. The venison/wild boar sausages were bomb with great sauces to accent the meats really nicely. The filet mignon were cooked great!( medium rare or order chicken) This could have certainly been a 5 start experience but unfortunately the older gentlemen serving us, didn't make us feel very welcomed so likely won't be returning as their are plenty of other delicious steak places with more light and more welcoming atmosphere.

Always our go to for visitors! I love the western vibe and steaks are phenomenal. Service is top notch

Came for lunch everything was lukewarm warm and we were the only two people in the restaurant. Service was fine waiter was apologetic. Then while BSing with the busboy while kidding around I said the food was not good and throw the plate at the chef with a laugh.Then the manager I believe Travis Moore comes to the table beet red voice shaking and then berated me in front my guest at my birthday celebration for making a joke with the busboy. I guess the chef is super sensitive. Bottom line is the food is supposed to come out hot no excuses. Maybe Travis should be more concerned with that.

My 75th birthday dinner could not have been at a better place. The food, the service, the atmosphere was amazing. I was not familiar with this restaurant since I live across town but I will surely be back.

Great service Very clean Must stop if in as or near the airport. Simple menu but looks great. Lots of choices from prime rib to salmon or sea bass. I ordered a prime rib ( their specialty) w baked botato and ceaser. Wow. So good. Honestly can't remember having a better prime rib!! I started with a small batch four roses near, which I'm sure helped prime me. But the service was exceptional and the ambiance was classic old steak house. This place was perfect tonight. Though missing my wife, was the only thing that could make this better was to share with her. Now for dessert!! Thanks stockyards and AZ for the perfect finish for my AZ trip!

It was my first time in, we had a group of ten. The hostess was very friendly and we were seated right away. Very nice ambiance. The waitress was very nice and explain the menu very well. I ordered the skillet salmon which was delicious, I wasn't in the mood for steak. The rest of the party ordered the prime rib or the ribeyed steak. The overall experience was great. I WOULD DEFINITELY BE BACK TO TRY THE STEAK! This would be a perfect place for an intimate meal with your significant other. I would definitely recommend

First visit to Stockyards. Greeted promptly, seated, got drinks, ordered, and got the muffin and biscuit basket. Nice and flavorful cornbread and crispy biscuits. The honey butter is sinful. Had chili in lieu of soup and salad. Very nice. Had some heat, but good flavor. Then on to the main course. Ordered the tenderfoot with fries. Glad I didn't order more. Way too much food, but so tasty I ate every bite. My only complaint is that the martini wasn't very cold. It was good, but I had to add ice to it from my water glass. Thus 4 and not 5 stars. I will be back

A true Phoenician classic restaurant! Old school steakhouse experience focusing on customer service, quality, and great price point for what you get. The meats here are outstanding and you won't leave here feeling hungry. Highly recommend this amazing restaurant for a date night or family dinner!

Great food, great service, reasonable price The place has been there for a long time. The inside takes you back Strongly recommend it

We took the shop out to the stockyards for our Christmas party. The Ribeye and shrimp cocktail i got was fantastic! A couple of the guys got prime rib and it was great as well. The service was top notch. Reasonably priced and we all had a good time!

My food wasn't good at all. I got the crab cakes, side of loaded potato and for dessert we got the strawberry short cake. The crab cakes were SUPER dry. I haven't been to a place where I didn't like their crab cakes but this place took that prize. The dessert... you could taste the freezer burn on the short cake. I was really looking forward to having a better ending. The only good thing was the loaded potato. At the table, other people got the liver and the NY strip with the house steak butter. They LOVED their food. They actually want to come back here again. This is the reason I'm giving it 4 stars and not 3. Our server was also excellent and made the experience very nice.

Very cool historic steakhouse with cozy cowboy ambience! Fine dining menu and service with a comfortable, casual environment. Great outside-the-box menu items for those wanting to try something new. Highly recommend the sausage appetizer!

From the outside I was totally underwhelmed but the inside was amazing. Very rustic appearing Steakhouse. The waitresses were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. The food was immaculate. I ordered the 12oz Ribeye and loaded potato. The steak was cooked to perfection. We also had the bourbon shrimp and crab cake. The portions are huge. Highly recommend visiting this place if you are in Phoenix.

Came here for my anniversary. Me and my wife got the filet with mashed potatoes. The filet was cooked perfectly medium. The mashed potatoes were excellent. The biscuits and cornbread that comes before the meal was great. The server did a great job. He is probably one of the best servers I have had. I love this place. I like the western art. I'll be back for another filet.

This place had decent food everything was good for the most part. Our waitress had excellent service. The ambiance for the name this restaurant gave me a Texas Roadhouse feel on a bit of a nicer scale.

I would like to share my recent experience at The Stockyards Arizona's Original Steakhouse, which I thoroughly enjoyed overall, although I encountered some issues during my meal. I was pleased by the warm ambience and friendly service throughout my visit. I started with the Classic Shrimp Cocktail and a house margarita, both of which were quite enjoyable. For my main course, I ordered the K4 Ranches Copper State Reserve 14 oz Prime Grade Ribeye, served with Parmesan Potatoes and Asparagus. While the presentation of the ribeye was remarkable, I found it to be quite tough and lacking in flavor until I added the House Steak Butter. Regrettably, I could only manage to eat a small portion before setting it aside, and ultimately, I had to dispose of it as a result of its texture. Despite these issues, I appreciated the high quality of the side dishes and the overall experience with your staff. I look forward to returning and trying another menu item on my next visit.

Great regionally sourced steaks available and casual environment. They even had an Elk appetizer on the menu. Will be back!

Very impressed! I'm a huge prime rib fan & this place delivered. The mushrooms are amazing as well!

My mom has wanted to dine here for more than a decade and she finally got the chance for her 70th last night! Hubby and I treated her (and all of us) to a wonderful meal, start to finish! Our reservation was for 6:30 (Open Table) but due to lack of traffic, we arrived at 6pm. Since our table wasn't ready (which was understandable!) it gave us time to read about the history, look at the pictures on the wall and visit the amazing bar. Once seated (in a quiet booth towards the back), Ron introduced himself as our server and got down to business. We started with drinks (beer & chilled wine) and ordered the calamari. While waiting for those, the busser delivered a freshly made breadbasket, and ice waters in beautiful, cut crystal glasses. The bread (corn bread and biscuits) with whipped honey butter didn't have much flavor but it's a nice addition. Back to the calamari...it was nothing short of FABOULOUS!!! It was so tender, and the breading was so light and flavorful. The sauces (tarter type white sauce and cocktail sauce) were also terrific. Truly one of the best I've had! 3/4 of us ordered the 8oz filets with salads and garlic whipped potatoes. I ordered my steak cooked medium but about 1/3rd of my steak was too red and bloody. I finished it but I would order medium well next time. The hubby ordered the DelMonico (bone in NY) which was large and cooked perfectly. His baked potato with all the fixings came hot and ready to enjoy. The salads (wedge for 2, house for the other 2) were so fresh & tasty! The size of each salad was perfect, and I loved that Ron added croutons to mine after I asked. The potatoes were served hot (often times that isn't the case), and everything was seasoned perfectly. A complimentary birthday dessert was offered & enjoyed by mom. She chose a citrus crème brûlée which she loved. It was beautiful and enough to feed my parents. This is definitely a special occasion type place based on the average cost of each meal but certainly worth the trip.

For this price you're much better off going to a higher end steakhouse. The decor hasn't changed in quite some time and is not quite old enough and definitely not modern enough. It just missed the mark on all fronts. I got the special steak cut ($70) and it was quite a bad cut of meat. The flavor was fine but the cut ruined it. Stringy and chewy. Not good. Baked potato was good but it's a potato. Salad was slightly above average. Desert was really good. The only high point of the meal was the staff. Everyone, from the front desk to the waiters were amazing! They're doing something right with the staff as they were engaging and quite frankly exceptional.

Was looking for a place close to the hotel, and saw this steakhouse so I said, why not! It's in sort of a strip mall/business complex so doesn't look like a lot from the outside but don't be fooled. As soon as you walk in it has classic steakhouse vibes. Was seated quickly by the nice hostess out front and a waiter quickly stopped by to take my drink order. The people inside seem to fall into 2 groups, people celebrating something and business dinners. I ordered an old fashioned to start and reviewed the menu. I really wanted a steak, but I'm also a sucker for pork chops, they had a tomahawk pork chop on the menu so I had to get it. For my sides I got the house salad and the whipped potatoes Tomahawk pork chop was fantastic Cooked perfectly and seasoned well. Was a big boy but I ate the whole thing House salad was a typical salad, good and an ice way to start the meal Garlic whipped potatoes were very good. Went perfectly with the chop Old fashioned was good, simple. All in all a great meal and experience

Outstanding service and food. I had the Prime Rib and my wife had a Filet both were prepared exceptionally well. The ambiance was fairly quiet. A good date night place.

I have wanted to visit this restaurant since before we moved here 12 years ago but somehow I didn't until this past weekend. What a great piece of Arizona history. I love that our server gave us the history of the bar and room we were in. She also was great at explaining the menu and specials to our group of 8. The food was delicious and started with cornbread and biscuits. We had a variety of steaks and potatoes with no one disappointed. We were all too full for dessert but I long to know he mow the crème brulee tastes. Maybe I will save room on our next visit.

This place is an Az classic. True rustic flare and historical value. First off the bar...(saloon) reminded me of Whisky Row in Prescott. The woodwork and the decor killed it. The food was amazing as well. My steak was cooked perfectly and the local brand beer was icy! Definitely a place to visit.

Always like the ambiance of this place with the old west charm. The service was amazing and tentative. I ordered the tomahawk pork chop, but it was good, but it needed a little more flavor. The filled was really good. Should had the beef.

Starting with the good... service was great, mashed potatoes were delish, mushrooms were awesome, really good horseradish and OMG the cheesecake was amazing!! The bad... the prime rib for 2 was ... completely tasteless, chewy and had zero seasoning. It was served so strangely to us too. 4 pieces for 2 people. I get that they're 6 oz each totaling 24, but odd. The Au Jus was also completely tasteless. The vegetables... hard and tasteless... needed a longer cook, butter and seasoning! Very disappointing for a $150 meal with tip).

Lived in Phoenix off and on for about 10 years, never been, and had wanted to try it out since it's a historic location. Choose as a late Valentine's Day dinner. Pros - decor and history around the building are nice, my Baron's Manhattan cocktails were delicious, and I enjoyed the rolls/biscuits and New England clam chowder that came with the meal. Cons - I ordered their most expensive steak, The Arizona Cut 24 oz bone-in ribeye at $80 and upgraded to the twice baked potato for $12. Upon delivery, I noticed the $12 potato was about the size of a banana, disappointing and overpriced to say the least. The steak, ordered medium rare, at first glance looked good. However, with a poke test and cutting into it appeared to be underdone at the center to the point of being between rare and medium rare. My girlfriend looked at it and thought the same. She said I should and I considered sending it back. However, we had been observing for some time the couple behind us appear to have multiple issues with corresponding visors from our same server. With that our server essentially never visited us to see how things were going. I decided to eat as much of it as I could given there obviously appeared to be an issue in the kitchen with cooks at a steakhouse not knowing how to cook a steak to temperature. After we finished, we decided to order their $15 bread pudding, which is one of my favorite desserts to order if available. Again, at first glance, it looked good. However, the bread pudding was not even warm. This time, our server stopped by and asked how it was. I gave her my honest opinion and told her it wasn't that good. I could make it better myself at home. The server essentially tried to play my comment in stride, making a joke to the effect of saying they can only do the best they can do and everything can't be to everyone's taste. As we were leaving I stopped by our neighbors table and jokingly asked "over or under?" He said they had to send it back 3 times. I grew up in the restaurant industry, so I am sympathetic to those that work in the industry, but will be brutally honest as price point to me sets the standard for quality of food and service to expect. For example, I've dropped $400 for two at a Cowford Chophouse in Jacksonville, FL that had excellent service and food in a renovated old bank building with rooftop seating g and bar overlooking the river. One of the best experiences I've had and would highly recommend. However, after dropping $265 for two with tip, for me, it'll be the first and last visit to The Stockyards. This is unfortunate because I like to support small/local businesses.
