The 5 Best Steak House Restaurants in Phoenix, Arizona

You have it made if you're a steak lover living near or visiting Phoenix, Arizona. While Arizona is known for its dairy industry, its cattle are also responsible for some of the best steakhouses in the country. And whether you are in the mood for bison filet, lamb T-bone, lobster mashed potatoes, rib eye, or delicious filets, nothing could be better than arriving at your favorite steak hot spot in a luxurious limousine.

Arizona Sedan & Limousine Service and several other highly reputable area limousine companies mentioned below have likely delivered thousands of steak-loving clients to nearly every steakhouse in Arizona. With so many delicious options to choose from, their drivers have filtered through the best of the best to your benefit. The five best steakhouses listed below are the cream of the crop and feature a variety of meats, atmospheres, and sides to suit everyone's tastes.

#1 - Durant's

Since 1950, Durant's has been a Phoenix hotspot. In a stylish, retro setting, this old-school steakhouse dishes customers some of the most fabulous steaks in the state. Filet mignon, rib eye, and slow-roasted prime rib are among the juicy broiled steaks available. Fresh oysters, crab cakes with chipotle aioli, and Kobe sliders are popular starters. Fans of seafood will obsess over the restaurant's combination dishes, which feature shrimp, grilled scallops, and lobster tails.

When Jack Durant's restaurant first opened in 1950, it became instantly famous. The proprietor was a colorful man, so much so that his life was adapted into a film starring Tom Sizemore in 2016. Sizemore's character, the larger-than-life Durant, is famed for refusing a big meat order because it didn't meet his standards. The preferred entrance at Durant’s is through the kitchen, which is an essential and unusual detail. This ritual is still followed by local business executives, politicians, and others in the know. And all the more reason you should consider arriving like a celebrity in a classy limo from Phoenix Limo Service.

The food at Durant’s is hearty steakhouse fare. There's a delicious prime rib that's been slow-roasted (get it eight, 12, or 16 ounces), and steaks come in a variety of cuts, ranging from 12-ounce sirloin to 22-ounce bone-in rib-eye. Traditional Italian fare is also available, such as chicken marsala, chicken piccata, and shrimp scampi with fettuccine.

This iconic downtown Phoenix steakhouse may not appear as opulent as suburban chain steakhouses. Still, what it lacks in modern decor, it more than makes up for in history, character, and ambiance—not to mention a delicious prime rib.

#2 - Steak 44

Steak 44 is a high-end steakhouse known for its exquisite gourmet dining experience and outstanding personal service. USDA Prime Grade Beef, the best grade Domestic Wagyu, fresh seafood, creative side dishes, and delectable appetizers are all on the menu. Their meals are also wonderfully complemented by their award-winning wine list and fantastic beverages.

Imagine pulling up to Steak 44 with you and your date or group of friends in a gorgeous stretch limo from Phoenix Sedan & Limousine Service. When you arrive at Steak 44 in the center of Phoenix, you will be greeted by a friendly staff ready to ensure that you have a memorable evening. As you approach the formal dining section designed by Arizona’s own Testani Design Troupe, you'll pass through the 3,000-bottle wine vault and be seated in one of the many distinct corners on the dining room floor. Their terrace with a cozy fireplace, dining bar overlooking the action of their busy restaurant, or a comfy table with a unique perspective of the culinary crew in action in the glassed-in exhibition kitchen are all available for dine-in seating.

Fresh fish, lamb, chicken, and veal are all on the menu. But if you're ready for a steak and have a large appetite, try the 22-ounce 45-Day Dry Aged Bone-In Ribeye or Bone-In KC Strip. Don’t forget the sides, including Chef Moroni’s Potatoes (with caramelized onions, gouda, and mozzarella), Alaskan King Crab & Rock Shrimp Mac & Cheese, and Creamed Spinach with smoked garlic, artichoke hearts, and sweet cream.

#3 - Feeney’s

Feeney's has been a Phoenix dining classic since 1965 and was one of the earliest steakhouses in north-central Phoenix. It is one of the city's oldest steakhouses, with a friendly neighborhood ambiance that sets it apart from the city's steakhouse chains. It’s also the perfect local setting for small corporate groups, bachelor or bachelorette parties, or birthday celebrations. You can make it the first stop on an evening of fun by arriving in Arizona Tours’ 38 Passenger Party Bus.

Conveniently located in the heart of Phoenix, Feeney's is a terrific choice when you want to unwind in a casual, welcoming neighborhood eatery that enjoys delicious steak as much as you do. That is precisely what they offer here, and it is evident. Lunch, dinner, and a complete Sunday brunch are available with many homemade sauces, soups, salad dressings, and desserts.

Start with the special sauce chicken wings or the perfectly fried onion rings. There are also a variety of salads available, including the steak salad. And Feeney's Sirloin Burger with your choice of melted cheese is one of the juicy burgers in the Grand Canyon State!

However, the steak menu is the main attraction, with excellent prime rib and New York strip. Various surf and turf platters, lamb and pork dinners, and pasta dishes round out the menu. All dinners include a soup or salad bar, baked potato, mashed potatoes with gravy, rice pilaf, French fries, or fresh veggies. Rumor has it that Feeney’s Famous Prime Rib, offered in a traditional or Feeney's cut, is the best in the city. Various homemade desserts are available, as are a wide range of wines and beers.

#4 - The Stockyards Restaurant

The Stockyards is an iconic Phoenix steakhouse with an “old-school steakhouse” ambiance with a uniquely Western flair. Since 1947, this typical American restaurant has been grilling some of Phoenix's greatest steaks. The restaurant was meticulously restored and revived in 2004 by a committed team of employees, and it was just added to the City of Phoenix Historic Register. What an excellent piece of history for you to include on any of your tours through Arizona Charter Bus!

Try the "Best of the West" prime rib or anything else on the menu, including corn-fed, matured steaks, and prime rib of the highest grade. The menu features "New West Cuisine," which integrates native Southwestern ingredients in creative ways. Know that they serve their Stockyard steaks with whiskey peppercorn, house steak butter, or béarnaise sauce. "The Arizona Cut," or a 24-ounce bone-in rib eye, is truly the best of their steaks. The Stockyards also has elk, venison, and calf's liver on the menu for a less typical lunch.

Professional event planning services are available at The Stockyard for groups of 15 to 225 people. Everything is meticulously planned to exceed your expectations, from business meetings to rehearsal banquets. Their banquet menus are designed to reflect the Southwest culture and culinary trends and include three, four, and five meal options. Their dishes are complemented by an extensive wine selection, including Arizona wines.

#5 - J&G Steakhouse At The Phoenician

Located at the sophisticated Phoenician Resort on the boundary between Phoenix and Scottsdale, J&G is an award-winning steakhouse with a sleek, modern design and amazing views of the Phoenician's colossal pool and surrounding Camelback Valley landscape. It’s perfect for an intimate date or small gathering, and what could match the vibe of this place better than arriving in an Elite Black Car from Scottsdale Sedan & Limousine Service?

Chef de cuisine Jacques Qualin oversees the menu, which features innovative versions of American steakhouse staples and sides. Choose from a beautiful filet mignon and a prime bone-in rib eye, or try the irresistible pairing of roasted red snapper and grilled beef tenderloin. Got a big appetite? Try, for two people, the 30-ounce Wagyu Tomahawk with J&G Lobster Shell Mac and Cheese with brussels sprouts. The restaurant also features a raw bar with fresh, chilled shellfish and lobster for seafood aficionados.
