The Stockyards: A Taste of Arizona's Rich Cattle Heritage
Nestled in the heart of Phoenix, Arizona, The Stockyards stands as a living testament to the state's rich cattle heritage and culinary excellence. Established in 1947, this iconic establishment, known as Arizona's Original Steakhouse, has continued to serve the finest corn-fed, aged steaks and prime rib, maintaining a steadfast commitment to its historical roots and a dedication to culinary innovation. Today, The Stockyards is celebrated not only for its delectable "New West Cuisine" but also for its place in local history, making it a beloved gathering spot for Arizonans.
A Heritage of Cattle and Flavor
The story of The Stockyards begins with the legendary "Cattle Baron" Edward A. Tovrea, who, in 1919, opened his Phoenix packing house just west of 48th Street and Van Buren. This was a pivotal move to support his burgeoning beef operations, which had grown to a staggering 40,000 head of cattle. To accommodate this vast operation, Tovrea secured 200 acres of cattle pens, creating the world's largest feedlot.
In 1947, The Stockyards Restaurant opened its doors, becoming an instant hit among cattlemen, bankers, politicians, and locals alike. It was a place where the spirit of the Old West converged with the flavors of the Southwest. Although the cattle industry's fortune experienced a decline in the late 1950s and the sprawling cattle pens gave way to urban expansion, the allure of Arizona's Original Steakhouse remained unwavering.
A Journey Through Time and Taste
In 2004, a visionary team embarked on a painstaking journey to restore and revitalize The Stockyards, recognizing its historical significance in Arizona's cattle industry and its architectural charm. The effort paid off, with the restaurant earning a place on the City of Phoenix Historical Register.
Today, The Stockyards retains its Old West charm while establishing itself as one of Phoenix's premier steakhouses. It's not just a restaurant; it's a living tribute to Arizona's cattle legacy, offering patrons an authentic taste of the state's rich history.
