Food was great, big portion. Entree comes with salad and bread. Loved the ambiance! Nice overlooking view of Phoenix. The slide was a hit for the kids and kids at heart! I recommend to make a reservation especially for big groups. Our server was fine but she got busy with other tables towards the end of our stay. We had to ask for our check from someone else. Overall, our experience was great and our guests had a great time. Will definitely comeback read more

Nothing but an overpriced tourist trap of a steakhouse with a slide and a view of the city. Parking is terrible. We fortunately got one at the top or else we would have had to walk from the lower parking lot as the shuttle was not running on a busy Friday night The server was more on the rude side. I understand we had a party of roughly 30 but it took forever to place a drink order and then forever to actually order. My prime rib was good but not 40$ good. My daughter Mac and cheese was cold by the time she got it. If this is how they treat large parties who spent about 1000$ to eat there, I would hate to see how they treat a normal sized party. read more

This place has a fun ambiance and I do like the barn feel and the sunset views. However, the food here is just so mediocre. In the bbq platter, the chicken is dry and the potatoes were so salty it was unedible. Their rattlesnake and cactus fries were not bad though. Service was also decent. read more

Loved the Enchilada and steak plate. Forgot the name of it but it was so good. That is my new favorite. The sauce had a great flavor. Also, I love the salad that comes out in a big bowl. So good and fresh. The live music is great and the drinks are also great. read more

This place was near my hotel, the Grand Arizona, and was the only other spot I hadn't eaten at so I gave it a go! Plenty of parking, but I took a golf cart from the hotel. I was greeted by a LIVE BULL outside the entrance! (I now feel very guilty for ordering steak....) Plenty of clean bathrooms and this place is MASSIVE! I sat at the bar but it appears to have at least two floors. Very fun, live music was playing that added to the fun cowboys atmosphere. Very friendly servers and great service. I ordered a lemon drop martini and the prime rib for dinner. It comes with their famous beans and salad and bread and corn and carrots! I was also talked into ordering mashed potatoes which looks like it could feed a small country! I don't typically eat a lot but if you do-this is your spot!! Definitely come here hungry!!! I heard they are very accommodating for large groups and friends from my conference came with a big group and were sat immediately. Jesus was my bartender and he was great!! Food is good (and a tad intimidating with the portions!) I took the chocolate cake to go as I was told not to miss it and it looks delicious! Seems like a super fun spot and I'd love to come back with another person, as I was on a solo work trip this time. read more

Kudos to managing to sit, feed, and sort out payments for 200+ hockey families! We had people pre-order Thanksgiving meals, order off the menu, and order family style as well. The barn was very cute and rustic + there was a separate bathroom which was nice. Lots of space for the restless to move around after they were done eating. The drinks were tasty; prices were reasonable. Food was average but the ambiance and atmosphere were great & I think that's the main reason for going. The slide next to the band in the center of the restaurant was a highlight for the kids. Parking is ample and you walk into the multilevel restaurant thinking you've entered Frontierland in Disneyland. If you're in the area with a large group...I highly recommend! Chaotic and fun experience! read more

Rustler's Rooste is all about the experience, and it definitely delivers. The ambiance is great -- fun, lively, and full of that classic Phoenix charm, with amazing views that make the drive up totally worth it. We came with a group of 11, and it was an awesome spot for a celebration. It's a perfect place for a party or group gathering, with lots of energy, music, and that "only-in-Phoenix" kind of vibe. The food was okay, nothing mind-blowing, but honestly the atmosphere more than makes up for it. read more

This is the perfect place for families, tourists, locals, couples, so that means all those that want to have some fun. The views of the mountains and city are lovely as well. Our little ones enjoyed the lady that came and made some animal balloons and the free cotton candy at the end of the meal too. There's a fun indoor slide that I can't wait for them to go on when they are older too. We sat inside by the window and got to enjoy the views. The weather was great so maybe next time we should just sit outside so the kids have some more space to run around. The food is ok, nothing to complain about. You get free salad, free cowboy beans, biscuits and fry bread with your meals. We got the sautéed shrimp plate and the rotisserie chicken and they were both ok. Please don't come with the high hopes of a fancy meal, just coming for the experience and views are well worth the visit! read more

Good things: the view is spectacular, our server was fun and checked in on us frequently, everyone was friendly and efficient, the decor and layout were unusual and interesting, the hot rolls with butter were tasty, lots of salad, we had a tableside magic show, the time with friends. Not so good: rotisserie chicken didn't have much flavor, the brisket was more liked overcooked roast, the dressing on the salad was skimpy and we could hardly taste it, the beans were so-so, the only veggies were high carb ones, the cost of the meals, it was really loud. read more

I brought my boyfriend here for his 40th birthday. I had called ahead and asked if they had availability for a good view and they said yes they would put a note about the birthday and the window view. It looks like there might have been an issue with the note because The hostess took us to a table that did not have a window. I did speak up and we got moved to the window, which was nice. The menu hasn't changed much since the last time I was there so that is good. The only thing that really did change was the price of the rattlesnake. It was probably 45% more. If I remember correctly from the last time. I did not get it this time since the server said it was $32 today. I also remember not liking the Perkley pair of cactus fries so for me it wasn't worth it to get it again even though I really like the rattlesnake. We ended up getting the burger and then the brisket sandwich with fries. The fries were pretty good and most of them were cooked perfectly and some of them were overcooked, but they do give a very hefty portion so that was a plus. The only couple of issues were the soggy bottom buns made eating them as a handheld pretty difficult. The second was the burger was cooked medium instead of medium rare. The view is stellar from here and I highly recommend coming a little bit before sunset and of course asking if there's a good view for your meal, especially if it's for a special occasion. I had no idea about the cotton candy, but I looked it up and saw that everybody gets one. That was a cool highlight. Neither of us have had cotton candy in a very, very, very long time so this was a cool treat. I'm giving it a 4 for the wonderful service and our server, Kendall, the view, and then the ent read more

Fun fun fun fun spot to come for a party, bachelor/bachelorette parties etc. Staff was a bit slow but it was packed so I can only imagine how hard they were working. Food was delicious, and the drinks were good. Get the smoked brisket definitely worth it. You can either sit down at normal dining or sit in the high tops and order just drinks and apps. There is live music a small dance floor, and a slide, with a pretty cool entrance. Fun for families with kids. Also fun bar games. Not a boring moment at this spot and it's a must try if you're in the area read more

Rustlers Rooste is like your Grand Dads Rowdy Steakhouse. Do not go here if you're expecting Quiet and Fine Dining unless you rent it out for private parties or events. It's great for the children. Great portions. But very touristy so be prepared for a long wait. You can grab a drink at the bar or look at the beautiful view though! The slide is iconic. read more

Rustler's Rooste - Prime Rib - Steakhouses Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Awesome atmosphere. Great service. Amazing food. Very kid friendly with a full-size slide inside!

Loved the view ..... 2 in our party had the 8oz prime rib and it was not good. Flavorless and tough, even the au jus didn't help enough. I would never order it again. Salad did not appear to have dressing on it, though other members of my party said it was there, just not mixed well enough to coat the salad. I tried a second helping of salad and still did not detect flavor. Fry bread seemed overcooked or dry. Carrots were the best thing on my $34 plate. I wanted a margarita but with none under $12 it wasn't worth it to me. For the price we paid, I won't be in a hurry to go back. 5 people in my party and none were thrilled with the food we spent over $200 on. $200 gone, and we all drank tap water. Our server was nice, and the staff hustled. read more

Been wanting to try this place. It wasn't busy, probably thanks to the Arizona summer! Got a great table by the window. (Which doesn't provide a sunset view, but a great city/mountain view' Had a fantastic server named Brooke Food was a bit pricy for what it was. Chicken fried steak was flavorful, but the sides were cold. Smoked sausage was pretty tasty and the bbq sauce was a great addition. The bacon jalapeño mac & cheese was dry and icky bland. Mixed drinks were pretty on point. We would come back with an event or big party during the winter months just to sit outside! read more

We came on a Saturday without a reservation and was seated pretty quickly, wait time was about 20 minutes. Our server was Kyle and he was really knowledgeable and very kind. He was fast and really funny. We got the fried mushrooms and they were amazing. We did the full slab of ribs and they were fall off the bone delicious. The double barrel margarita was so good and fresh. We will definitely come back. I cannot say enough positive things about this place. 5 stars all the way. read more

Our first time going to Rustler's Rooste and we LOVED it! Our server was so attentive and we experienced really great customer service! I read the reviews and decided to go with the prime rib sandwich. I would give it a 3.5/5 but my son got the Big Burger and that meat patty was huge. He gives it a 4/5. My husband got the nachos and that was a GINORMOUS plate of nachos! 4/5 - For the price it was really good and a good amount of brisket. What I love most is the entrees come with the DELICIOUS bread rolls with cinnamon butter, a really good family size salad to share, beans and fresh cotton candy at the end! We got green apple cotton candy (ask for the cotton candy if you don't get it!) and it was delicious! The ambiance was 5/5 - loved the band playing and we got a window seat with a beautiful view!! read more

We stayed at the Arizona Grand Resort and took the shuttle to this restaurant and it was such a neat experience! The place is very unique, the staff are all very friendly, there's a Long Horn greeting you at the entrance and a fun slide for the kids (or some adults) to skip the stairs. The food was okay, the brisket was a little too greasy and the salmon was NOT good but the mashed potatoes and the ribs tasted great and the plate sizes are huge! They also have a very cool cotton candy birthday to celebrate those having birthdays! The view is also pretty good and they had a band playing. Overall, we enjoyed it very much mainly because it's very family friendly and it has a very unique decor. read more

My 5 star reviews are far and few but this place totally deserved it. The food wasn't the WOW factor, although it was very good, it was our server Kyle! He was fanfrickentastic. Always always checked on us. Made great recommendations and just made us laugh all night. He was such a hoot. He deserves a raise. Or a performance bonus lol. About the food, it was the first time I tried rattlesnake bites and cactus fries. Both were very "interesting" glad I tried them! Oh, there's a slide in this restaurant lol. Yeah a legit SLIDE. Also there was a live band during dinner. Super good place to go for an entertaining dinner read more

Tried the rattlesnake, don't waste your money $32 It is breaded and deep fried you can't taste anything but the fried bread. The BBQ items were ok. Nothing special. Taste was bland. Wouldn't go back again. It's a once and done restaurant. Our waitress Lily was rushing us out, everything we asked her for was either broken or closed. Bad service Lily!! read more

One of our first dates up here, the views are beautiful. The food was really good, came back to catch the sunset and grab a drink.

2 hour wait on a Monday night. Bathroom stall doors are see through and I was told by men in my party that the men's restroom has a mirror that allows for people to see into the urinal that they were at.

I've been coming here for over 25 years and I will continue to keep coming back. The slide is amazing and is a must for all able-bodied family members and friends. When we have a guest in town, we have to take them to Rustler's Rooste. The views are insane! The front entrance has the giant steer, he's such a cutie! Ambiance inside is honestly a whole vibe. Live band plays music. Large bar. Large windows. LOTS of seating, multi-level. Downside: rattlesnake is literally always 86'd. We've tried to order it EVERY TIME. we can never get it. It's apparently elusive. read more

Wow! Great place, it's fun, there's a giant slide, a stage with a band, the food was really good, I had ribs, I can always go with out the extra bbq sauce so I should have asked for light sauce but the sauce is good, has a kick, the portions are huge we had enough food for 4 lol, the bartender was really nice. They don't allow substitutions so each meal comes with sweet potatoes and corn and if you want say mashed potatoes or fries you just have to buy the side they are like $5 each. It's not a value meal but it's hearty and comforting. My man had a giant meat combo meal, that was all well smoked. The food came out quickly. All the staff were really pleasant. read more

Food is average but you come here for the view and the ambiance. It sits on top of a mountain with a beautiful view of the valley. Out of towners like this place and it has a longhorn or Outback Steakhouse kinda vibe. The food is not really memorable but it's a fun place to being people with a bland or picky palate. They have something for everyone read more

Service - 10/10 Bro the place was PACKED like full NPC mode chaos and somehow the staff still moved like elite special forces. No attitude, no disappearing servers, just straight up locked in. Respectfully goated. Food - 10/10 This food had NO reason to go that hard. The pork ribs and ribeye pulled up looking disrespectful. Portion sizes were criminal. Came with corn, beans, carrots -- like they said "you WILL be full today." We added smashed potatoes and yeah... life-changing. Left with leftovers AND emotional satisfaction. Price - 9.6/10 For this much food?? In this economy?? Absolutely valid. My wallet survived and my stomach was fighting for its life. Fair trade. Overall - 9.9/10 This place ate. Literally and spiritually. If you're tired of the same copy-paste steakhouses and mid BBQ spots like Outback, this is the upgrade. Great view, great food, zero regrets. Would absolutely pull up again. read more

Happy Thanksgiving! This was a treat away from sweating to make a meal, charging through the market and especially cleaning up. I came here as a small boy and I did not remember how awesome it was. The views of the valley were beautiful atop South Mountain. The old west ambience was wonderful and their staff is to be so highly commended not only for their hard work on this holiday but being so pleasant and helpful throughout our dining experience. I had the turkey after the salad and dinner rolls. Everything was cooked wonderfully. I really loved the cranberry sauce with an apple pear relish. My dining companions had high praise for the prime rib and ham with rum and raisin glaze. The price point of 36 dollars a plate was the best in town. Had another doggy bag leave with me but I will really enjoy these leftovers. read more

First and last time!!! Although ambiance and food were great, the service was so bad, I will not return. We never saw our server Marilynn after she took our order, sat with dirty salad and app plates stacked in front of us. Never had a refill of wine or beverages. My daughter had dropped her silverware and we never had the opportunity to ask for another set. We shared silverware and finally had to walk up to the bar to get extra. Finally asked the busser if Marilynn had left. And it still took another 20 minutes to receive our tab and pay. read more

Food portions are huge with lots of freebies, (salad, bread, baked beans) but the taste wasn't great. No flavor to the brisket, prime rib dip was about the same. The free beans were actually the best thing we had. The place has a great vibe, with live entertainment, great views of the valley, and a bustling environment. Good place for big parties but don't have high expectations for taste and quality. read more
