Huge pieces of meat are music to an Arizonan’s ears, but only when executed perfectly. Stockyards Restaurant in Phoenix, our state’s original steakhouse, does prime rib unlike you’ve ever tasted it before. The portions are absolutely massive, with an 18-ounce cut made with meat lovers everywhere in mind.

Edward A. Tovrea opened the world’s largest feedlot over 100 years ago, accommodating more than 300,000 cattle.

While the exterior has changed significantly after several renovations, the restaurant has an unmistakably timeless air about it.
