Bourbon Steak

7575 E. Princess Dr. North Scottsdale

480-585-2694

Steakhouse, New American, Critics' Pick, Best Of

Let's face it: Upscale steakhouses can tend to be one trick ponies. However, with a chef like Chris Curtiss at the helm, North Scottsdale's Bourbon Steak is elevated to something unique, while still being familiar. Grilled octopus, raw fish crudo dishes, gnocchi with mussels in a white wine sauce, and whiskey-centric classic cocktails are a great place to start at this luxe, dark, and stunning restaurant inside the Fairmont Princess Resort. You also won't be disappointed with sides like crispy roasted Brussels sprouts with pancetta and black truffle mac and cheese. While you could certainly splurge for a $75 Maine lobster pot pie, you'll feel equally pampered getting a butter poached steak. In particular, the mesquite-grilled filet mignon is as tender and moist as it could possibly be inside, with the smokey, uniquely Southwestern mesquite flavor on the outside. The grill also serves up fish and Wagyu beef options. Read our review.

Cave Creek Smokehouse Grill & Pour House

6245 E. Cave Creek Rd. Cave Creek

480-488-3317

Grill, Steakhouse, Menu

Cave Creek Smokehouse is, shockingly enough, a BBQ joint with a large patio in Cave Creek. Their signature dish is a smoked brisket lasagna which is also exactly what it sounds like. Beyond the food though, Cave Creek Smokehouse also host a staggering number of events virtually every day of ever week. It's an excellent place to watch the game at or even to get into a Texas Hold'em game.

Cholla Prime Steakhouse and Lounge

An excellent first-date restaurant with fancy digs, fine dining and a bonus: for entertainment, an Elvis impersonator show next door. With dishes like elk, pheasant, grilled asparagus with prosciutto, and lobster and shrimp puff pastry, it's a treat no matter the occasion.

If you want to impress and surprise your significant other, book a table at Dominick's Steakhouse. Be prepared to be dazzled with a red carpet upon entering the restaurant.

Fresh burrata, shishito peppers, a seafood tower, and filet mignon are some of the options for appetizers and entrees.

This old-school chophouse boasts great grub, superior service, and one of the best collections of baseball memorabilia next to Cooperstown, and no, we ain't talkin' about Alice Cooper'stown, bucko. Where else can you see a wall of glassed-in baseballs signed by such legends of the game as Joe DiMaggio, Reggie Jackson, and even Babe Ruth? The food scores a home run, too, with pastas, steaks, prime rib, barbecue, and so on. The crème brûlée or the cheesecake for dessert are not to be missed.

Donovan's Steak and Chop House

American, Restaurants, Steakhouse, Recommended, Best Of

Swank steak house with soft yellow lighting, Sinatra on the box, and faux Rembrandts on the walls. Donovan's motto regarding its steak is "all prime all the time," and it has prices to match. When it comes to the steak alone, you get what you pay for, though preparation is minimal. Stellar appetizers include bacon-wrapped scallops, Maryland crab cake, and lamb chops. Make sure there's room in your belly before you go. Not for the faint of bank account. Read our review.

Durant's

2611 N. Central Ave. Central Phoenix

602-264-5967

Steakhouse, American, Bars and Clubs, Critics' Pick, Best Of, Menu, Slideshow, Readers' Choice

Since 1950, Durant's has sat proudly on Central Avenue, its iconic midcentury sign lit up for decades as the city has slowly grown around it. This vibe here is old-school, vaguely Rat Pack-ish: red-leather banquettes, scarlet wallpaper, dim lighting, a back entrance that takes you through the kitchen. (Gangster tales and Hollywood lore abound regarding original owner Jack Durant.) You'll still find Phoenix power players gathering at this chophouse today; Durant's continues to cook a mean 48-ounce porterhouse steak, in addition to slow-roasted prime rib, liver specials, lamb chops, and a sizable selection of seafood. (Another time-warp trademark at Durant's is the gratis relish tray: carrots, celery, green onions, and black olives served over ice.) The wine list is long, but for when-in-Rome reasons, go with a martini or an old fashioned. They pour 'em strong here. No takeout or delivery, and guests are asked to call the restaurant directly to make reservations.

Feeney's Restaurant & Bar

American, Steakhouse, Best Of, Menu

This popular eatery has been a local dining tradition since 1965, and we only wish we'd known about it as long. When we go for dinner, we can't help but start things off with the Tenderloin Toast, a tasty hors d'oeuvres of beef tenderloin, garlic crostini, and herbed cheese that we dream about when we're not at Feeney's dining on it. Typically we move on to the excellent Veal Picatta but, if we just can't get enough of the delicious, tender beef that comes from Feeney's kitchen, we order the London Broil-an end cut, because we love how crispy-brown and tender it is. Earlier in the day, we go for Louie's Big Fat Greek Salad, a tasty combo of calamata olives, tangy peppers, and tender lettuce leaves. Any time of day, we're happy to find ourselves at this fabulous Phoenix staple.

Steakhouse, Contemporary, Best Of

Steakhouses aren’t the most electric places to eat these days, but Maple & Ash jolts fresh life into the old American concept. An import from Chicago, the massive, modern, glitzy, 250-seat meat temple a gem’s throw from the Scottsdale Waterfront uses a wood-fired grill to sear steaks from affordable hangar to $175 dry-aged tomahawk rib-eye. This spot is a scene: a tastefully dim, snazzy crowd, plush furnishings, and ceilings to the sky. Pasta is hand-crafted. Seafood towers rise. Look to break-the-mold starters like octopus and an updated wedge. A complimentary cocktail will be poured once you sit down.

Mastro's City Hall Steakhouse

Steakhouse, Seafood, Recommended

Another offering from the Mastro's Group, with the same USDA Prime steak, chops and seafood menu, but a more modern decor. Meat portions are huge (33-ounce rib chop) and slathered in sizzling butter. Everything is à la carte, with one-pound baked potatoes and vats of creamed corn swimming in half-and-half. It's not healthful, but it is pure heaven.

A smart-looking, high-end steak house, featuring USDA Prime-grade beef. The 22-ounce bone-in rib eye is a thing of beauty, a marvel of taste and texture. The New York strip and T-bone are just about as powerful. Excellent appetizers and desserts (not to mention well-trained waiters) add to Mastro's charms. Read our review.

Offering two bars in one, this popular Scottsdale spot is a haven for both jock types and music fans. The main bar boasts more TVs than a Best Buy, each broadcasting the latest athletic events and highlights, and always seems to be populated by college kids, sports nuts, and weekend warriors. Meanwhile, the Jester Room offers live music action almost every night of the week, where local rock, blues, and acoustic musicians such as Hans Olson and Ronnie Glover strum their guitars for those in attendance. More than a dozen beers are on tap if you get thirsty during the show.

Scottsdale's uber-stylish Roka Akor, a spin-off of London-based Roka, sets itself apart from the Valley's myriad other Japanese restaurants by specializing in robatayaki, Japanese-style grilled dishes; a few are traditional, but many have a creative, contemporary spin. Of course, there's sushi here, too, as well as other top-notch tapas-style dishes. Honey-glazed grilled duck breast, butterfish tataki with white asparagus, and kamameshi — traditional rice hot pots — are among the highlights. And surprisingly (for a Japanese place), the desserts are scrumptious. Turns out, they were created by a French pastry chef.

Rokerij

Steakhouse, Recommended, Best Of

Here sits a beautiful stone house of a restaurant just down the street from Richardson Browne's other eatery, Richardson's. Rokerij is Dutch for "smokehouse," but this is basically a classy chop shop with plenty of atmosphere. Dim lighting, copper-topped bars, European prints on the walls, and outstanding service make this the sort of place you'd take your boss or that wanna-be supermodel you've been chasing. The fare doesn't quite live up to the digs, which is slightly dispiriting. Still, it's better than Black Angus, so stop your whinin' and eat!

Rustler's Rooste

American, Steakhouse, Recommended, Best Of, Menu, Slideshow, Readers' Choice

Is it possible that it's been 40 years since this landmark restaurant and bar opened? It is. And what's even more impressive than Rustler's Roost's longevity is its long-time commitment to preparing and serving some of the best steaks, chops and ribs in town. Whether you're ordering a choice, center-cut Tenderfoot Filet (available in both eight-ounce Cowboy or ten-ounce Cattle Baron portions) or a Top Sirloin Rustler's Cut, you'll wind up with a plateful of the best-tasting beef this side of anywhere — and an earful of some purty darn good live country music, as well. (Fans of fish shouldn't miss the grilled salmon platter, topped with homemade honey-dill butter.) This is bar-none the most authentic cowboy grub around; for proof, look no further than the short list of Rustler's Sides: potatoes served baked, mashed, or fried. And while that's about it, you'll leave wanting more of these sides, because no one makes a potato (or a steak, or a pork chop) like Rustler's Roost.
