    Crème brûlée
    Susan R.

    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!

    Wedge Salad (split in half)
    Lindsey K.

    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!

    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.

    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. Prob recommend this place for large groups..it's quite nice

    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!

    Absolutely delicious! The filet mignon was cooked perfect and well seasoned. The parmesan potatoes were sliced really thin and so good! Service was excellent & friendly. I would definitely go back.

    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.

    Steak with mashed potato and asparagus
    Sterling A.

    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.

    Chateaubriand for Two
    Clem M.

    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.

    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.

    This is the 14 oz ribeye - house specialty.  It is served with a compound butter and a bearnaise sauce with Parmesan potatoes and asparagus.
    Will C.

    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.

    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.

    Caesar with anchovies
    Jon B.

    I was seeking a nice steakhouse by the airport and found Stockyards on Yelp. Classic steakhouse decor with stellar service . The food was exceptional with the Caesar salad leaving me speechless ( which is rare ). To be honest , as good as any steakhouse in NY - I live there ;)

My husband and I came here for lunch on Valentine's Day and it was fantastic! We were seated outside on the patio, it was lovely as the weather was perfect. They had many plants and trees including a lemon and grapefruit tree! We ordered a variety dishes to share like the beef tartare with squid ink milk bread, Japanese sweet potato, Spanish octopus, golden beets and roasted cauliflower. I was impressed with everything. You can taste the quality in each ingredient and I appreciate that. My husband and I agreed that the Spanish octopus was our favorite dish. It was the best octopus I've had in a while, the char flavor and slight crisp was amazing. We enjoyed the creamy sauce, artichokes, and other veggies that came with this dish. The cauliflower and golden beets were incredible too. The chef told us that the Japanese sweet potato was one of the popular dishes, but out of everything we ordered, it was surprisingly my least favorite. It was still good but everything else tasted better to me. Pa'La is a bit pricey but the quality makes up for it. I would recommend this place for people who are visiting or for a date night!

Companion and I arrived at 5:45 and were seated promptly. Our server Nikki brought menus and took our drink orders. We started off with Calamari. It was perfectly cooked and came with 2 sauces that I have never had served with it before. One was MaPloi, and the other was an aioli that was nicely spicey. The portion was large and unfortunately, we couldn't finish it. Companion ordered Fish & Chips. A nice sized portion of cod, perfectly fried. Unfortunately, the chips were not fried the way companion asked for them and most of them were left on the plate. For myself, I ordered the Scallop & Shrimp Combo which came with nicely prepared brussel sprouts which were grilled and then had balsamic vinegar over them. I also ordered the char broiled zucchini, which I did not care for and left most of it on my plate. On to desserts! Desserts are prepared in house and not from the outside. Companion ordered Bread Pudding. Sliced from a loaf and served with a Jack Daniels Whiskey sauce and a ball of vanilla ice cream. Companion was so full that it was not finished but not before declaring it to be delicious. I ordered the Butter Cake. A delicious cupcake sized portion tasting deeply of butter, served with whipped cream, berries, and topped with vanilla ice cream. Once again, the portion was so big that I could only eat half of it. As one might expect in a restaurant of this caliber, it was squeaky clean. Service was efficient and almost all of the food was prepared as ordered. 5 stars

It's very efficient and well manned though. The menu is an interesting mix of fun starters, nicely done Nigiri sushi, steak, and seafood entrées. We started with a Nigiri sampler, and the house special catch sushi roll. Both were really good and the bluefin tuna Nigiri with a bit of caviar on top was outstanding. For entrées, we sampled the miso Seabass and a lobster pasta. There was nothing left on either of our plates and the portion sizes are not too big to encourage you to try different things on the menu. The wine list is extensive, maybe one of the most extensive list of international wines I've seen in a long time. They are aggressively marked up in price and would be the only thing I could complain about in the whole evening. The wine the Sommelier recommended was outstanding but at $330 a bottle. It really made the whole place seem overly expensive for what you get. Service was very attentive the whole evening without being overbearing. I enjoyed it, but not sure I'd go back just based on the value proposition.
