Let's start with the service! My girls and I had a reservation and were seated right away. Our server John was absolutely fantastic. He was enthusiastic and provided a worry free experience. If you had a question, he got an answer. If you needed anything, he got it covered. He provided a very relaxing evening after a long work week. Additionally, all of our food came out in a very timely manner. Now the food. For starters, I opted for the tenderloin chili which was very flavorful. Despite the cheese not looking melted on top of the chili, it was perfectly heated and had a little spicy kick to it as well. The jalapeño honey cornbread was the perfect pairing. For the entree, I went with the filet mignon which was cooked to perfection, medium rare plus. It was flavorful and melted in my mouth. Rarely do I finish a steak in one sitting but I was determined to enjoy every bite. My steak was paired with their parmesan potatoes which was like an elevated au gratin. Both items were very delicious. For drinks I had the copper spur which was a slight riff on a classic gold rush cocktail. For dessert, I had the chocolate mousse which was like chocolate pudding with pizazz. Again, both items were very good. All in all, I would absolutely return. Easy 5/5 for me . read more

I very much wanted to give the restaurant a 5 star rating due to the exceptional service our waiter "Tom" provided. However we ordered the prime rib for 2 and the meat left much to be desired. It was not as tender as a steak restaurant would usually serve.The portion was very generous for the price but some areas of the serving were hard to cut through. Maybe I'm just spoiled with the quality of the prime rib served at Lawry's. In any event I plan on returning to Stockyards to sample some of the steaks served there. read more

Tom, our servicer, was great. Very personable but not pushy. He checked our drinks and water often. The salad wedge was good. The steak soup was full of steak. Yum. The calf fries were kinda bloody inside. We shared an 18 oz Delmonico. It was grizzly but wonderful meat flavor I expected a 2" steak and it was not even 1.5". Delmonico are typically 2". Overall our meal was good. The bar is amazing. Love all the history. read more

Great service from Cecily tonight at the Stockyards steakhouse. I'm gonna keep this one short cause I'm tired and I still have a ways to travel tonight. I ordered a filet mignon with the mashed potatoes, side salad, glass of wine and a crème brûlée. Food and service are solid, Cecily was very attentive, and the prices are some of the best for the local steakhouses. I'll be back! read more

This place absolutely knocked it out of the park. We don't usually splurge on fine dining, but for my other half's birthday we decided to make an exception, and wow... we are beyond glad we did. From the moment we walked in, everything was phenomenal. The service was stellar, attentive without being overbearing, and made the whole evening feel special. The atmosphere was the perfect balance of upscale and welcoming, with an incredible vibe that still made our kids feel comfortable and included. Now the food... unreal. Every single thing we ordered was perfection. The steak was hands down the best I've ever had in my life, cooked flawlessly and portioned generously enough that we even had leftovers. The elk medallions were absolutely superb, tender, flavorful, and unforgettable. And the sides? Just as impressive. Every bite was beyond amazing and clearly crafted with care. Even my extremely picky 11-year-old, who rarely likes much of anything when we go out, loved his meal, which honestly says a lot all by itself. This dinner was everything we hoped for and more. Incredible food, amazing service, generous portions, and an experience that felt both special and comfortable. We will absolutely be back and will be telling everyone we know how much we loved it. Thank you for making this birthday celebration so perfect! read more

We were in town for one night and had dinner with friends. This place is great - pricy but great. Service was exceptional from start to finish. We had the 16oz ribeyes, two cooked medium and two medium rare. All four were perfect, which rarely happens at steak restaurants. The flavor was very good and the steaks were tender and juicy. Two of us had a loaded baked potato which was a pretty standard potato - hard to mess up, but I always asks for a lot of extra butter and very rarely actually get it. I got plenty of butter. Two had the garlic mashed potatoes, which were also very good. We all had house salads which were fresh and cold and the various dressings (ranch, bleu cheese and orange balsamic vinaigrette were very good. We also shared a basket of onion rings which were excellent - perfect amount of crispy breading and perfect crispiness. For dessert one had pecan pie which was very good. The rest of us had the bread pudding. So - it was good but definitely not like bread pudding we've ever had. It was closer to a slice of marbled cake with ice cream and a drizzle on top. Not bad, just not what we expected or what bread pudding is to us. We'd definitely go back if we are back in town and want an upscale meal. The restaurant itself has apparently been around for decades and the walls reflect some awesome history, which was very cool in itself. The prices are a bit high - about $450 before tip and without any drinks, but otherwise, great place. read more

We're becoming regulars here, lol! The waitstaff are all excellent we've never had to ask for refills on drinks, they just show up. We feel so watched over here! The decor is so beautiful, old steakhouse fabulous, something interesting to look at every where you look! The seating is comfy. NEVER had a bad meal and the meat is cooked to perfection, no matter how you ordered it. Highly recommend those Parmesan Potatoes! We went for my birthday yesterday and they treated me so sweetly! I'm in a wheelchair temporarily and they were so kind to me! read more

Beautiful steaks served perfectly cooked. I had the 14 oz local ribeye cooked to a perfect medium-rare with compound butter and bearnaise sauce; Parmesan potatoes and asparagus. It is a 5 star place but steaks are a 60-75$/plate investment. read more

ABSOLUTELY a yes from me! The service was incredible and the food was AMAZING! For a starter we ordered a wedge salad and split it in half. We did have to ask for a couple of the toppings because it was missing some things when it came out but no prob! We ordered the filet with Parmesan potatoes. The steak was perfectly cooked and the potatoes might be the best I've ever had! We also ordered the bread pudding for dessert and it was great! read more

Great food and nice huge bar area with one tv for sports watching. decent service.. Awesome ambiance..nice pictures in the restaurant and nice fancy dining area. Chili was a little spicy for my basic self . The steak was favorable..I feel you could get the same favorable steak at other places for less money. Prices is what gives it only 4 out of 5 stars..just my opinion. definitely try it and see what you think.. kind of forgettable to be honest.

Overall we had a wonderful time at the Stockyards and enjoyed our meal! We came to celebrate my birthday. We enjoyed the lowkey atmosphere for a Sunday evening. The elk that my niece got was honestly the best bite most of us tried but all our steaks were cooked to preferred temp and very flavorful. The drinks were well made and the corn bread was tasty. Soups and salad were also good, but the Caesar salad was truly wonderful! Dessert was good but the main standout was the bread pudding. Omg so tasty and I don't even like bread pudding but this was just amazing!!! Only reason for 4 starts was service was slightly on the slower side and seemed questionable at first but as the evening went on it got better. Definitely plan on coming back with friends! read more

It has been quiet some time since I've been to Stockyards. Glad we decided to go for date night. I love the feel of going to an old time saloon and see all the old menus and pictures of Arizona from years ago. From start to finish we enjoyed everything. The hostesses were friendly and greeted us with a smile, our server was pleasant and checked on us often, and the food was amazing. If you're looking for a date night restaurant you should definitely try Stockyards. read more

Wanted to love The Stockyards... but honestly, it missed the mark for me. We sat in the bar area, which was probably a mistake. The noise level was so loud everyone was talking over one another just to have a conversation. The bigger disappointment was the filet. I ordered the larger cut expecting a thick, tender steakhouse filet... instead it came out thin, stringy, and overcooked with tough silver running through the center. A good filet should cut like butter, and this one simply didn't. Also asked to substitute fries for the garlic mashed potatoes and still got the mashed potatoes. Vegetables were actually very good, but even the coffee at the end was weak. Overall... for all the hype surrounding this place, it just didn't deliver the experience or quality I expected. read more

Service was fantastic, setting was on par with a "cattle themed restaurant. My son had the calf calf fries for the first time in his life and loved them. Steaks were cooked to perfection and could not ask for a better meal as we passed through Phoenix. Definitely going every time I'm in Phoenix. Great job! read more

Back for Round Two! Two weeks in Phoenix and I couldn't resist returning. This time we got the Chateaubriand for two. The salad was delicious. Ordered the Old Fashioned & Still Superb. The Beef Tenderloin was cooked to medium, but was a little rare in the middle. Still melt in your mouth superb steak. I tried it with each sauce and the creamed horseradish was the best. This didn't need any sauce and was perfect. The Parmesan potatoes were good. The Sautéed Button Mushrooms were perfect. The Brussel sprouts were good. Service was good. Looking for a Steak House and the Stockyards Restaurant sounded perfect. Ordered the Old Fashioned with Stockyards Bourbon by Outlaw Whiskey. Perfect Compliment with the steak. The Cornbread was good and the bread just ok. Went with the Baseball Sirloin with salad & garlic whipped potatoes. The steak was lean and cooked medium perfectly. The whipped potatoes were fluffy and paired perfectly with the sirloin. Lean & tender was excellent. The salad was fresh and delicious. The Crem Brûlée was absolutely phenomenal end to the meal. The service was superb. Loved the old style steak house. Would definitely recommend and return. read more

This was an amazing steak house and so much fun to go to with my family. Service was really good and professional as well as informative. The food was delicious and worth the price as everything was seasoned and made fresh. The ambiance is also really good when you have beautiful stain glass windows, great photos around, beautiful designs everything. It can get busy but that's expected when it comes to places like this. For sure go here and order whatever interests you most because it's all worth what you pay for. Try the creme brulee and strawberry shortcake for desert. read more

This is an old-fashioned Westernesque steakhouse with a cowboy-themed, cattleman's tone, design and décor from the dark wood aesthetics to the very abundant regional artifacts on the walls. This is really a very sophisticated ambience, with elegant and knowledgeable wait staff and overall attention to detail, with a vast and varied menu selection - not just steaks, as well as high end menu and so as is the pricing - purposefully I omitted the mention of value! Somehow my expectations from our previous visit were not met and we both walked away with a moderated view of this Arizona's famous 'original' steakhouse! We started our evening with excellent Sea Sun Pinot Noir and Felino Malbec servings. Yet, as aforementioned, everything til the moment of having our meal was fabulously superb and as a matter of fact, so was our post dinner time. Both my Wife's and my dinners were steak and as for mine I was especially surprised at the outcome. I ordered a Tenderfoot 8oz cut of Prime Rib, medium rare - yes it was but, I am used to a steak of this type to have been and usually plated, served on a warm platter whereby it retains its warmth when placed at the table. My steak was cold! Not only that, but the knife offered seemed dull enough to have a difficult time cutting through my steak. My Wife's Filet Mignon seemed tasty, appropriately cooked and proper to her, as was our side of asparagus. And I very much appreciated the birthday candled and fabulous tasting Strawberry Shortcake and the overall evening as a whole but could not pass without mentioning my unfortunate prime experience. With over 65 years of steak experience, both cooking and eating them I am well aware of a kitchen's dilemma and value their art and work - I do look forward to a potential next visit. And, I must emphasize that the ambience, attention to detail, atmosphere and John our Server were excellent. Hope to experience it again. read more

I was excited to finally try this place after hearing so much about it. It was my first time in, and I sat at the bar. The bartender started by telling me a bit about the history of the restaurant, which I appreciated and the woodwork around the bar really is beautiful. I was served a bread basket with a variety of breads, but they were barely warm, and some were actually burnt. I ordered a cup of steak soup, which turned out to be the best thing I had all night. For my main, I went with the 14oz prime-grade ribeye, along with creamed spinach and a twice-baked potato. When the steak arrived, the food runner dropped the plate in front of me without a word and walked away. That's a strange touch for an upscale restaurant. I had to ask the bartender what the two sauces on the plate were. He was surprised and a little disappointed that the food runner didn't explain anything, but he quickly fixed it and took care of me. Unfortunately, it was clear the food had been sitting in the window for a while. The steak looked dry and wasn't warm. None of the food was, really. I was hungry and didn't want to hold things up since they were closing in about 30 minutes, so I didn't send it all back--but I did return the creamed spinach. Room-temperature creamed spinach is just unpleasant. The steak was okay at best. For a $75 prime ribeye, I expected better. I took half of it home for breakfast, only to find that a good portion was full of gristle. The bartender was fantastic, and the soup was excellent. But at these prices, I expected a more consistent and elevated experience. Not sure I'll be back. read more

I made a reservation since large groups often gather this time of year for the holidays. We were seated in the bar area, and at first it was quite loud due to a large party waiting for a table. Once they left, the noise level became much more comfortable. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. My guests and I thoroughly enjoyed the steaks we ordered, and I even received compliments on choosing this restaurant. The steaks are accompanied by a soup or salad and many side choices. I selected the salad and vegetables for my side dish.?They also offer a wide selection of wines by the glass and by the bottle. We skipped dessert only because we were fully satisfied with our meal and simply had no room left. read more

SENTRY - WATCHING RESTAURANTS The Stockyards 5009 E Washington Phoenix, 85034 This was spring restaurant week. We arrived at 6:00 and were seated immediately I ordered a glass of Felino Malbec which was quite good. The restaurant week menu had what I wanted, so I ordered it. Companion ordered off the regular menu. My dinner started off with salad. Totally frisee with a tiny bit of dressing and a tomato that was not ripe along with a piece of cucumber. I did not enjoy the salad and sent it back partly eaten. Companion had tomato seafood bisque soup which was a little spicy but was enjoyable. Next was the main course. Companion ordered a half rack of baby back ribs. While they were properly cooked they were slathered in a sauce that tasted like it came from the local supermarket. It was served with french fries that were "o.k.". I ordered the prime rib (12 oz) which was cooked exactly the way I wanted it. My side dish was ordered off the regular menu and was the creamed spinach. It was an extra cost, but was worth it. For dessert, my companion ordered the bread pudding. The only way to describe it was terrible. Chunks of what seemed to be chocolate cake mixed in with a strange tasting soggy bread pudding. After a few bites it was left on the table. For myself, I ordered the sour cream cheesecake. The texture and flavor was adequate, but one of the raspberries on my plate had a spot of grey mold on it, which was totally unacceptable. Unlike days of old, they no longer serve honey butter with the bread basket, and it was missed. While cleanliness was apparent, the noise level was uncomfortable and we could barely speak to each other. 4 stars read more

I've come to stockyards restaurant a couple of times now. It is definitely one of our go to locations when we are in town for work. I'm not a local, and I don't know what the other buildings are in this plaza, but it looks like a business park with a lot of different offices. Not sure if that's actually the case, but that's the vibe it gives. Last time we were here, one of the waiters gave us a background of the history of the restaurant and it was very fascinating. The food is pretty good here. For appetizers, it seems like we ordered a lot of them. We had the shrimp cocktail. The shrimp are really big. This trip I went with the prime rib. It seasoned very well and it was super tender. They give you three different cards to choose from. I went with the middle cut only because I know that we had a tendency of ordering a lot of different appetizers and I wouldn't be as hungry as I normally would. The desserts were amazing, we tried practically one of everything. The strawberry shortcake was one of my favorites. The crème brûlée was spot on as well. The pecan pie was fantastic. And the cheesecake was amazing as well. Sorry for not being any help with narrowing down your dessert choices. I did order a root beer float and that definitely was a great way to end the night. Great food, great service and great hospitality. read more

I wasn't overly impressed but think I'll try Stockyards again just to make sure I'm not missing anything. The place came highly recommended and my friend was raving about it so we went for lunch during the week. The place was pretty busy but we were seated quickly and the waitstaff was truly buzzing about and expediting everything seamlessly. Our waiter was very good and for the most part very professional but did make a few comments which weren't necessary. While I appreciate the nostalgic appearance of the restaurant, I'm simply not into an older rustic western look. Everything looks and feels like it's from another era which again I appreciate but just isn't my thing. I tried the shrimp platter which was ok but a bit overpriced. Literally four shrimp with soupy mashed potatoes and soggy zucchini for $32 wasn't what I was expecting. The lunch wrap and sandwich my friends had looked ok and the french fries were good but a $200 tab for 3 basic lunch dishes and 2 drinks just doesn't feel right. read more

Wait time from seating to main course was 1.5 hours and that was with reservations, overpriced appetizers, I'm talking about almost $30 for a shrimp cocktail which only had 4 shrimp and they didn't taste fresh either, mediocre salad with undercooked salmon and the main course of prime rib wasn't cooked to request, both meat and sides were cold to the touch when brought out, this was a major disappointment for me, based off recommendations on how good this place was supposed to be. read more

The Stockyards has that old-time ambience, great service and a comfortable set of dining rooms - with an unusual set of murals, not Arizona-related but a depiction of Paris circa 1880. Food is mostly top-notch but my top sirloin - the cheapest cut, apparently - was unexpectedly tough and sinewy. I had to give up on it. The waiter told me that the sirloin can run that way. read more

We were looking for a steakhouse to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday and absolutely hit the jackpot with Stockyards! The steak was juicy, perfectly cooked, and bursting with flavor -- truly some of the best I've ever had. But the real star of the show? The garlic whipped potatoes.

We had a nice dining experience here. The service was great all around during our dinner. The steaks are pricey as to be expected, the quality was good but not great. The sides were tasty and the salads were vibrant and flavorful. The decor and set up is what you would expect from a steakhouse, my only suggestion would be to update the lighting. I checked out the bar area in the back of the place and it looks chill and comfortable. read more

Stockyards Restaurant - 43rd Anniversary. - Steakhouses Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The Stockyard is an institution in Phoenix. Having said that, there is an expectation to the experience you will receive for first time visitors. While the establishment is large and classy on the inside there is an air of confidence and ego to their menu and being an institution. The service is extraordinary and attentive and very accommodating where they can be. Where I have to be honest, for my taste, the food doesn't warrant the pricing for the experience. The menu is very limited but that is to be expected from the STOCKYARD. $20 dollar sandwiches are a little extreme, though the portion and size are generous! We ordered the brisket, Cheesesteak, and Prime Rib all of which were very good but not 5star in my opinion. A cup of steak soup while utterly delicious was $7 and finished in about 7 bites. At the End of the Day - three meals with iced tea cost $92 and that seems extreme for lunch all of which were sandwiches. Again they were good but felt like they were trying to be Scottsdale and not old school Phoenix. read more

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. read more

I really wanted to LOVE this place after reading the amazing reviews about the food, and also because of its historical significance in Phoenix; but the quality of the food and service at The Stockyards was mediocre at best. The history of this place is very cool, and the overall ambiance and decor is definitely fitting for an old school Cowboy Americana Tavern type feel with an awesome looking Saloon in the back rear of the restaurant. Upon arrival for our reservation, we were promptly seated by the hostess and greeted by our waitress. The most memorable part of The Stockyards had to be how loud it was inside--I'm not even sure if the restaurant had music playing or not ...? It literally felt like we were on set in an old western movie saloon, and everyone inside was yelling as obnoxiously loud as they possibly could!!! My mom and I dropped in here on a Thursday evening, and we could barely hear each other speaking across the table without raising our voices; it was extremely difficult to hear what our waitress was saying--I really honed in on my lip-reading skills! The complimentary corn bread and biscuits would have been better if they came out hot and soft, but they were luke warm and burnt ;( My mom's house salad was very basic and blah--I could easily whip up a better salad at my house. My steak soup was good, but it was definitely not as amazing as several reviews made it out to be--it was essentially just chunks of tender steak in a creamy broth. As we were eating our salad/soup, a runner quickly dropped off shrimp and sausage at our table, which we hoped may have been a complimentary gift because it was our first time here, and we didn't order either of those items. We tried to tell him we didn't order them, but he probably couldn't hear us over everyone screaming at each other and just walked away. Someone else's appetizers literally sat on our table for about 5 min. before our waitress came by, and we caught her attention to ask her if this was someone else's food or if she wanted us to try the shrimp/sausage? She seemed annoyed by this blunder and without giving us a verbal response, she quickly flagged another food runner walking by to take the two appetizers off our table and bring them back to the kitchen. I sincerely hope they didn't try to re-serve those apps to the table they were supposed to go to; it seemed like our waitress likely intended to have the kitchen re-heat them and then send them back out to the correct table. If this were a classy establishment, they would have left the apps at our table, apologized for the mistake, and told us to try them on the house, especially since they'd been sitting on our table for so long. My mom was not impressed by the Herb Crusted Alaskan Halibut or the sides--she said they were "okay". I tried her Halibut, and it was too "fishy" tasting for me, even after squeezing a lemon wedge on a little piece. My 8 oz. filet mignon was also merely okay, the bearnaise sauce definitely made it better. But the filet by itself had a kind of perfume or gas-like after taste; which the bernaise helped off-set. The filet looked better than it actually tasted. The scallop potatoes were surprisingly excellent, but I didn't come here for great potatoes--I expected a great filet mignon! We both got the pecan pie, which the first few bites of were AMAZING! But, that initial nostalgia died off quickly because the pie was mostly composed of large pieces of pecan, so it literally felt like we were just eating mostly pecans inside a pie crust--there should have been more gooey filling in there; or at the very least, the pecans should have been chopped up finer. Ultimately, the pecan pie was not at all what it was hyped up to be; I would not order it again. Overall, The Stockyards ... allegedly "Arizona's Original Steakhouse" missed the mark. I am not one to celebrate mediocrity, and the entire experience at this lower-end fairly expensive steakhouse was so underwhelming that it left me feeling like I was swindled out of my hard earned money. My mom and I would rate the food and service here as okay, but below average when considering the price of the fish/steak; especially when comparing it to other upscale local steakhouses we have dined at, hence the reasonably appropriate 2-Star review. I do not plan to return to the Stockyards because there are so many better steakhouses in Arizona; and I would recommend others to avoid this place if you are looking for a great filet mignon or seafood dish. Frankly, I would prefer Texas Roadhouse or The Keg over this place. Restaurants like Capital Grill, Eddie V's, Morton's, and Ruth Chris completely destroy The Stockyard. read more

Sad decline for one of our favorites. We have not been here for about two years and they have gone through some changes. Not all of them good. The remodel they did is nice - place is a bit brighter. But they now serve "high-choice" grade steak, which is not the same prime. Only they don't tell you that on the menu. You have to ask. They only have one prime-grade steak which is from Prescott of all places. All the other steaks are high choice. The problem is my high-choice ribeye was chewy and even had some grizzle I could not eat. My wifes prime Prescott steak was good though. I ordered rice pilaf as my side and it was disappointing. It had pecans & cranberries and did not even taste like rice, let alone rice pilaf. We always used to consider Stockyards as a good alternative to the Scottsdale steakhouses. Not any more. read more
