When you're carrying a heavy title like "Arizona's Original Steakhouse" on your hip, you better be ready to fire it off. And that's exactly what's done daily at The Stockyards Restaurant and 1889 Saloon. Cattle baron Edward A. Tovrea established a packing house west of 48th Street and Van Buren in 1919, long before The Stockyards Restaurant officially opened in 1947. Now, the classic restaurant has a reputation for serving Western-inspired cuisine — primarily corn-fed aged steaks and prime rib — but today's menu hasn't diverted all that much from the original. Other specialties include Paloma Ranch calf fries, American bison meatloaf, the Arizona cut rib-eye steak and some beloved baking soda biscuits. And who could resist a whiskey in the 1889 Saloon, designed back in the day by Mrs. Cattle Baron herself, Helen Tovrea? Sit yourself down and have a seat, partner.
