Make sure to wear a tie! Okay so good food Amazing staff! Went here not sure what to expect The area is amazing Really fun for everyone The restaurant itself is pretty awesome and so cool to look at. I guess you're supposed to go in with a tie... you'll figure out why soon after So I will say I think I'd rather go with the option of ribs or along that route Personal preference The steak is great but very little seasoning which some people enjoy a steak with little done to it Then this will be perfect for you The cook of the steak was perfect though The house ranch they have for the salad is very good also so recommend asking for that with your salad Beans are okay They're just beans nothing special The food was good nothing was bad But it wasn't wow The service and vibe from the place overshadowed all of that Cool stuff to look at Cool staff members Friendly and nice and helpful I would still be coming back Family friendly and lots of options for kids to enjoy as well! Highly recommended for the experience! read more

So many reviews for this spot but it's not that good. Got the steak and was a bit scared too was it cause wasn't sure if it was cooked the way I wanted it. My cousin didn't like her ribs. They are not fall off the bones. It was hard. We started with the sampler. Didn't like the tortilla chips and the salsa could have been better. They give you one quesadilla that looks like u can make at home. The Mac and cheese tasted like it's from the box. The salad and mash potatoes kinda tasted like old country buffets (ranch and gravy). I think beans were suppose to come with the meal but was never brought out. The bread was thick sandwich bread slices. read more

The good: We were seated quick, the service was fast, food came out quick (almost too quick, as we were still not finished with the salads when entrees came out). The "meh": The food and service wasn't worth the price. The thick slices of white bread were dry and unappetizing and served without any bread plates for you to place the bread upon, which forced the awkward decision to set either the bread on a napkin or directly on the tablecloth, or just eat the whole thing right then. The beans were bland and unexciting, served without any side bowls or cups ahead of our entrees, so we had to use our entree plates when they arrived (the beans went largely uneaten; no one went for extra). The ribs were disappointingly overcooked and dry. Burgers were served without any condiments, and when you ask for condiments, they arrive in small, portioned plastic ramekins instead of just bringing out a bottle of ketchup or mustard, which feels cheap overall for what you're paying. Drinks were never offered refills. Server made the table feel rushed to eat, as we were asked if they could start clearing plates while majority of guests were still eating. No manager approached the table to ask how the meal was going or if there was anything that was needed; something I often see in restaurants that pride themselves in service and quality. Overall, the visit was a waste of money, in my opinion. Overpriced, mediocre food and lack-luster customer service. This was my second time here (first time was over 8 years ago) and we wont be back. read more

This is a pretty unique steak house. A lot of cool older stuff inside and outside the restaurant. A remake of old western living on the outside definitely makes it good. Their big thing is cutting off the ties of anyone who wears them there. I had the cowboy steak, beans and Mac n Cheese. The steak was great. Beans were great. Mac n Cheese was pretty bland and definitely not worth the 5 dollars they charge for a simple side dish. Prices were a little high, but normal considering all the stuff they have going on around there. Service was pretty good. I can see this as being a place to return too every once in a while. read more

The service was really great and I loved the theme! The whole menu was very decently priced. My cowgirl steak was a great size but I do wish it had a little more flavor. I personally didn't like the house beans but I've never been one to have beans with my steak so I could be biased. The peach cobbler was a great size with the combo! read more

The concept of this place was cool! It's located in an old cowboy town so plenty of shopping and browsing for before and after your meal. The restaurant itself was themed in old western country also and included its own saloon with swinging doors. They have a tradition where they cut your neck tie and hang it up which is cool! The staff were super friendly and the food was okay. There just wasn't a lot going on with flavors in the food. The steak was cooked well but was kind of bland and the salmon was a little on the charred side. Overall, cool place to visit and sit down for a nice dinner read more

The overall concept was really cool. We loved the neck tie story and watching people get their neck ties cut off. The theme and vibe was fun too, lived tying to the whole little town experience. The food was ok at best. The ribs were the best tasting and very meaty. The beans and Mac were kind of bland and the Mac tasted like it came out of a box. Our server was great. He was very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu to offer suggestions. Unfortunately, I just wasn't very impressed with the food. read more

It's been a while since I came here but decided to stop by on Jan 28, 2026 at 6:30pm. Service is amazing , as soon as you walk into the restaurant they sit you down and have your drink order going. I ordered the cowgirl . Smaller t bone steak . The steak was okay . The fat was not really rendered down but it did have a good smoke flavor. This place serves a no frills steak so if you're used to peppercorn crust , steak with sauce or dry aged you will be disappointed. Keep that in mind. The steak does come with family style ranch beans and bread. Over all, it's an experience with the cowboy theme restaurant and shops near by . read more

Visiting my sister. First time here. Absolutely cute little spot. The 32 ounce steak is big enough to share.. And it was delicious. My husband got the baby back ribs and they will probably the best I've had in a while .peach cobbler was just ok read more

Food was very good, it's not a true steakhouse so it wasn't the best cut of beef I've ever had, but it was very good for what it was and it was seasoned well. It was cooked on a Mesquite grill and that made it even better. Our service was absolutely outstanding, our server was "Bat Masterson" yep, they all have old-time country western star names, from back in the day, actually back from 1950's. It's kind of a cool place, looks like a old country saloon, it's all rustic, but that's what you should expect when you're coming here. The only downside was they didn't have a good selection of whiskey or bourbon's. I would've given it a five rating but because we didn't get any of the whiskey/bourbon we would've liked to have had it just kinda sent me back a little bit. It's a cute little village area and kids absolutely would love it. The desserts were very good too, very big and we ordered two of them for three of us. We probably could've ordered one. . read more

So sad about tonight's outing to Pinnacle Peak...thin, poor quality steaks cooked incorrectly that are $39.99 a piece. The sampler was a tiny plate with two tiny plastic to-go type cups of salsa and a container with a clump of brisket with cheese that wasn't melted. Server was very nice, so that was good. This was our last visit to Pinnacle Peak. The quality and pride has dropped considerably so we will go elsewhere. read more

As a Tucson chef, I don't hand out compliments lightly -- but Pinnacle Peak Steakhouse deserves its reputation. This place is pure Old West Tucson charm with a side of mesquite smoke. The minute you walk into Trail Dust Town, you can smell the wood fire and hear that grill popping. I ordered the Cowboy Steak -- a ribeye big enough to make a ranch hand blush -- and it came out beautifully charred, smoky, and rich. My only critique? Ordered medium rare, got medium well. Easy fix, but chefs, keep an eye on those thermometers. When done right, it's one of the best steaks in town. Service was warm, fun, and totally on-brand for the cowboy vibe -- friendly staff in boots and hats, no ties allowed (literally). Sides like the baked potato and cowboy beans hit the comfort zone perfectly, and dessert from the Chocolate Depot next door sealed the deal. If you're visiting Tucson or live here and want to taste real Arizona flavor, this is a must-try. Family-friendly, date-night-worthy, and still one of the most consistent steakhouses in the Southwest. -- Chef William Zabaleta (@TucsonCook) Trail Dust Town - Tucson, AZ Full review: https://tucsonazcook.blogspot.com/?m=1 read more

I've enjoyed 40 years of great dining here. Steaks always perfect, staff always helpful and cheerful. The only change sad to see my first visit the cowboy 20 ounce bone was 8.99 now 37.99 but that's life. Indoor western styling, no ties or cut off. It's a tucson must for steak lovers. read more

Two stars for the burger everything else I just .... Ghhhrrrr.. Okay so just attitude and the way you word things is important and our server just didnt have it . The way he replied to things was just off. I felt like I was being rushed when dude didnt even have another table . The restaurant was empty , it was a Monday night. I had to ask for condiments multiple times. I mean got a baked potato and wasnt given any butter sour cream just a dry ass potato . The prices for the size is just wild. Im sorry but this place just wasnt it . I mean who does night closing duties in front of customers. For the price that it is here I would assume its some type of fine dinning .

Pinnacle Peak - Ties ties ties , i dare you to wear a tie - Steakhouses Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

I came here with a friend Friday night and service was excellent. We both ordered the filet mignon and while it was cooked to the right temperature, the steak itself was really salty and not good. I did like the salad because the ranch is amazing. I would ask for ranch on side though since they put a bit too much on it. We ordered a backed potato which was good. The green beans the steak came with were really bad. They tasted really sour so we didn't eat them. I ordered both the Paniolo (Hawaiian Cowboy) and the Doc Holiday cocktails less sweet. He liked the Paniolo and I LOVED the Hawaiian Cowboy less sweet. read more

Such a fun place for dinner. Great steaks from small or massive. All at a reasonable price and great customer service.

My family has been coming here since 1970...I was a kid...Met a friend and his wife from out of town...got there first asked to be seated my party was 15 minutes behind wanted to order a drink and appetizer...was told could not be seated until my party arrived...ok can I put my name on a list....Oh no reason I was told because the restaurant is not busy....Why not seat me then. My friend shows up they ask him my name...WTF?? Ordered food...tasted good...Steaks came out....I had to ask the waiter where our salads were...they came out 10 minutes after the steaks were delivered... order the loaded potato everything comes in a plastic pizza cheese cup. I asked the waiter if he could break a 100 so I could tip him in cash...he told me to go up front to the cashier...so I did... Im not returning here...just another great place run into the ground by dumb management and untrained service at top notch prices...I will no longer reward incompetence with my money... read more

Atmosphere was fun but definitely not a relaxing vibe with the amount of stuff going on. It's definitely more of a BBQ vibe but most of the sides were on the bland side; steaks were hit and miss, but good portions overall. Prickly pear margarita was basic but I liked it a lot. Overall, it's a fine place, just not really worth the price. read more

My group of 19 had dinner at Pinnacle Peak Steakhouse on Saturday, September 6th. It's a very interesting and very large restaurant. Apparently, they can accept reservations for up to 50 people, which is amazing. It is very much a "theme park" restaurant for the "wild west". They have several buildings touting the wild west theme. They also have a small area off to the side of the restaurant with a ferris wheel and a merry-go-round with other rides and arcade games. They also have a small train that traverses the property. Everyone pretty much ordered steak, although there were chicken and salmon (farmed - Ick!) meals available. There are really no choices for vegetarians or vegans. My husband ordered the filet mignon. It was cooked correctly, but it was very small for the price, which was a bit expensive. Nonetheless several of the diners shared the large steaks on offer and were satisfied with their choices. Everyone generally enjoyed their meals. The wait staff were adequate and accommodating. For all large groups an automatic gratuity of 20% is added to the bills. Our waiter worked very hard to accommodate all our requests in a timely manner. Many of us weren't sure if we would have dinner at Pinnacle Peak again. Not for any other reason except it is really targeted towards families and large groups. This is also definitely a "beef" only restaurant as the dining choices are limited. Nonetheless it was a good Saturday night out. Of note be sure to check your credit card charges. One of our diners was charged for the entire dinner for everyone, although all of the diners had already paid for their meals. read more

Casey W, your quality or cut of meat is the problem, not the service or the way the steak was prepared.

Pinnacle Peak Steakhouse is a Tucson iconic restaurant. It opened in 1961, was tragically burned down, and was rebuilt. So it's been open for over 60 years . The restaurant serves Western style steaks and barbecue all open pit with Mesquite wood charcoal. They try to create a fun family atmosphere with lots of influence of the old West.. They're located within "the trail dust town" compound -shopping mall. Which has its own history back to when Tucson was the town of maybe 45, 000 the 50s. It was an early western themed area, including gun fights  and a kid's train and a couple of kids' rides.. The restaurant is anchor of the "Trail Dust Town" The "town" also includes a more recent addition but iconic breakfast area "Millies Pancake House" This restaurant has its own unique Tuscan history from 1981. It fits into  "Trail Dust Town" very well.. Pinnacle Peak Steakhouse started back in the day when people dressed up for dinner. They became famous for their  "No Ties Allowed" policy and have always been a part of the Pinnacle Peak fun. Even though ties are not broadly worn these days. They're still a local tradition to bring young people in and have a tie cut off.. Hundreds of ties are proudly displayed all over the ceiling. One of  my fellow diners had a tie cut off when he was in high school, and he's over fifty. He told me his grandfather and dad also did. Restaurants and bars are also about expectations. What type of bar and restaurant are you going to? Everyone is understaffed, so I always appreciate the service staff who are working. I also always overtip The restaurant itself has a classic type vibe, with lots of Western kitch.  It's very family friendly. My group included four  adults and five children. They have a great plate sharing option, which works well with children who are a little older or people who don't have a huge appetite.. Basically, you can share the main dish and have a reasonable upcharge, and get an extra salad and a baked potato together with the shared plate. They also have a kids menu, which has lots of good choices.  It's a busy place and that's because it has great food and a nice atmosphere. They also have a very Western theme bar called " the silver dollar saloon".... They have mixed drinks, a pretty good wine list, and lots of local beers... I sat at the bar as a single person, waiting for everyone to show up and was given prompt attention.  The meals were all generous, so sharing was easy.  We had "the cowboy" the Cowgirl " and "the kids cowboy" all of which were different sized Mesquite grilled Tbone steaks. Everyone's salad and baked beans,  bread, and potatoes were fine. I  would absolutely recommend the restaurant again. Also include time for the family to wander around and explore " Trail Dust Town " read more

We brought our family here for dinner and we really had a good time. The first time we came I ordered a steak salad and the jalapeño stuffed with cream cheese, they are called rattlesnake eggs, and oh my gosh they are so hot but so delicious. My daughter enjoyed her hot dog we loved the fruit cobbler!! We also love the ambience of the ties hanging in the room and it was so funny to watch peoples ties get cut off. The second time we came, it was kind of an off experience. I do not recommend getting the hamburgers. My hamburger did not taste that great and the bun was overcooked so I would stick to the salads and steak or the rattlesnake eggs because those are good. The service is inconsistent. First visit our sever was friendly and very attentive, second time our server disappeared and my FIL had to find him to get help and again to get our check. That won't stop us from coming back, we plan on bringing more friends here and enjoying more on the menu but to also wear ties to get the experience! I will update my review with more photos as we continue to come. read more

We came here with a group to celebrate a birthday and were delighted with the ambiance! We didn't know what we were getting into! We love the town around the steakhouse! The hosts were able to accommodate our large group. The ties of those who were brave enough to wear were throughout the place, which gave a gun touch, and the best was the many "ya'lls" that came from the staff as we entered and left. Our server was awesome! He moved quickly but was patient as our group asked lots of questions, and he gave great recommendations. The steaks were good- not the best, but solid. I ate all of mine, so I liked it! The rattlesnake bites were tasty, and the salsa with the chips was good. Everything about our meals was right, even with many special requests; the server quickly got us a few additional food requests after the food was out. Our food came out quickly, and he continued to check on us. Overall, everyone was really happy with our trip here! I'd suggest allowing a little extra time so you can check out the town! read more

Fantastic steakhouse! The servers are always very friendly, the service is always top-notch, the food (especially the steak) is always delicious, & the atmosphere is fun. We live in NV, but every time we visit AZ, we make sure to stop here for dinner at least once. *** wear a tie so they can cut it off & hang it up in the rafters, it's big fun! read more

We came to Pinnacle Peak because we saw all the rave reviews. To be honest, it was mediocre at best. We tried the cowboy, the burger, the rib and multiple other items on the menu. In my fully honest opinion Texas Roadhouse would be a better option if you wanted a cheaper alternative steak/bbq option. The service was great, they were attentive but the food was lacking flavor. Overall a 2/5 star place read more

Took my friend for his Birthday, a tradition. Our visit was marred by our server's rude treatment of my elderly friend which I found inappropriate. The understanding manager gave my friend a free dinner voucher, and I refuse to let anyone ruin our good time! 19 cats run the property, and eat quite well. Trail Dust Town is great for the folks from back east, let Uncle Leo pick up the check, and take home your leftovers for your pup! read more

Hubby and I went on a Sunday night around 5:30 pm. They gave us a pager and said about 45 mins. We walked around the old west" shops and everything was dressed up for Christmas with beautiful lights! Charming! They paged us after about 25 mins and gave us a great table for four--nice and roomy! We chose to split the "Widow's steak" and added the baked potato and salad option with beans. The steak tasted excellent, the baked potato was HUGE & perfect! Salad was lovely and they bring their bread & butter to the table too. Beans were savory and I would have added some BBQ sauce to jazz it up a bit. Annie was an outstanding server and we had a great experience! Totally Will return if in Tucson again! Don't miss out if you are visiting! read more

I was craving a steak, and finding family friendly activities for my son. Unfortunately "Trail Dust Town" wasn't open today, but we still walked around before dinner. Got a seat at 530p with no waiting, though it was busy by the time we left. I had a ribeye, my son had a hamburger. The salad was meh okay, and I enjoyed the beans but couldn't eat a whole bowl. The bread that came with was thicker and whiter than I am, which is saying a lot. Ribeye was great, perfectly cooked and seasoned, just what I wanted. Our server "Johnny Ringo" only knew the movie version of that cowboy's demise. But he was friendly and service was quick. read more

Haven't been here in over 10 years and we came for date night. The salad had a lot of wilted lettuce in it and we both ended up night eating most of it. The beans were good but the bread lacked any flavor. I was excited for the meat but was so disappointed. My bf liked his steak however my ribs were not "fall off the bone" as the menu says, had no smoke flavor and didn't have a lot of bbq on it. They were very tough. Also wasn't a fan of the apple cobbler. Our waiter was nice and very friendly and attentive. We went at 4:30 on a Sunday right when they opened and were seated right away. Most likely will not return. We don't eat out often because we love cooking and this experience did not hit the mark for us. read more

Date 5/6/25 Time : 6:29 You "cook your ribs slow and low for over 16 hours 'cuz life is too short for tough ribs. We know they are ready to fall off the bone". Well, I ordered 1 FULL rack of ribs for $29.99 that must have been cooked slow and low for 36 hours because FALL OF THE BONE they DID NOT !!! I had a hard time cutting in between the bones to separate them. It was like dried hard pork jerky stuck to the bones !!! What a let down. I never send anything back to the kitchen when not satisfied, I look for homeless people especially ones with dogs to give left overs to. *Holy Smokin Butts on Broadway ribs really do fall off the bone and melt in your mouth. My suggestion to the pit "master" 16 hours IS TOOO long for baby backs, try 4 hours and see if they fall off the bone. read more

It is hard to believe but it has been over 10 years since we have gone to PP. One of our son's family from out of state was visiting us and they wanted to go there to let our grandson experience the "cutting off tie" tradition which we had done with our other grandchildren over the years. I didn't look forward to the meal since our experiences there have been on a steady down hill trend. Happily this time, all our steaks came out cooked as ordered and tasty like in the "old days." The sides were about the same, OK but not great. Our server, Billy the Kid, was excellent. He added to our overall experience. Our grandson, as in our previous tie cutting experiences, was absolutely shocked when his tie got cut. As it should be! We went away happy and will return. read more

You can approve on everything. The service was the worst service I've ever had never even asked us if you needed something else to drink or water how our food was nothing the food was awful. No flavor. Cold wasn't cooked the way we asked didn't get the corn or the baked potato with two of our meals even after we asked and then he brought it after we were done when we said something like who wants it now if it wasn't for all the other stuff around it to do I don't think anybody would go to that place anymore I haven't been there in years and I remember it was a good experience back in the day so I thought let's do it. What a waste of time and money. I don't know how you place you guys can call that place of restaurant. read more

Atmosphere was cute and the employees were very nice. Food was awful. Instant mashed potatoes and the ribs were the toughest my husband said he has ever eaten.

One of the best meals out my family has had in a long time. We had a party of 6 and every single one of us enjoyed our meals. I had the Cowgirl steak and it was amazing.

The same salad and beans I have been having since visiting as a little girl. read more
