A Taste of Arizona History
Established by cattle baron Edward A. Tovrea in 1919, the Phoenix Stockyards housed nearly 40,000 head of cattle secured by 200 acres of pens, making it the world’s largest feedlot.
In 1947, The Stockyards Restaurant officially opened on the site and quickly became a favorite gathering place for cattlemen, celebrities, bankers and politicians. By the late 1950s cattle pens gave way to urban growth, but the popularity of Arizona’s Original Steakhouse had been established and the restaurant remained intact.
In 2004, a visionary team painstakingly restored and revitalized the restaurant and saloon, recapturing the spirit of Arizona’s cattle industry and authentic western heritage. Today, the Stockyards is a proud part of the City of Phoenix Historical Register, a Valley landmark, and one of Arizona’s most unique and in-demand dining destinations.
Our Food
Staying true to its heritage, The Stockyards’ menu continues to feature only the finest corn-fed, aged steaks and prime rib. With an emphasis on hearty flavors, The Stockyards’ “New West Cuisine” embraces the culture and culinary trends of the Southwest, utilizing the freshest and highest quality indigenous ingredients in new and innovative ways. To date, The Stockyards remains a part of local history and a favorite gathering place for Arizonans.
