stockyards steakhouse

ok food but pricey!. family went there tonight as the last dinner of our vacation, had not had a great steak yet on this trip. wife had thefiletoscar and i had the filet. steaks were ok, but $46 for a 12ozfiletand two very small sides s a bit much when the steak is only ok. they have a standard kids menu which includes a scoop of ice cream. the service was just ok, our waitress seemed somewhat clueless on the timing of the food..the kids were done by the time ours came out, and they were done with their ice cream when she finally brought us a dessert menu. dessert was also just ok. overall, ok food, ok atmosphere, way overpriced for what you get.

great experience. we're from out of town and wanted to try a local steakhouse, so we decided to give the stockyard a try. what a experience, the atmosphere was great, the server was very knowledgeable on the wines and which complemented each type of meat, she was very attentive and punctual ( which is something rare to find these days). the food itself was prepared and presented just right. i had the wild west mixed grill which consisted of elk medallions with a juniper rosemary sauce, afiletof walleyed pike that was breaded with pecans, and a link of wild boar and venison sausage with apple chutney. the flavor from the elk was phenomenal and almost melted in your mouth. i was not to crazy about the fish, but then again i'm not a fish lover. all in all, i would recommend the stockyard for any special occasion. (the prices to me were a bit high to justify a weekly jaunt)

after phil's graduation from mmi we decided to treat him to a steak. i found stockyards and it was a really cool joint. they have a giant cow on the roof. how could you go wrong? we were greeted with a bread/cracker basket while we perused the menu. i had thefiletmignon with their parmesan potato stack which is simply au gratin potatoes with parmesan. it was very tasty and dense. theirfiletwas very good. nicely seasoned and cooked perfectly. it was at a right price at $36 for 8oz., in my opinion. it's also worth mentioning that they were running a side item special that day on sauteed chanterelle mushrooms at $10. worth it! god those are my kryptonite. pat opted for the buffalo steak which was $55 for a 20oz ribeye. pat really loved it and pretty much cleaned the bone. pat had a nice loaded potato on the side which was a generous size. phil on the other hand had the world's largest, bloodiest piece of prime rib ever. he had the "cattle baron's cut" of prime rib which was $36 for 18

awesome steaks!. the corn muffins with prickly pear butter was a great start to the meal. also the salads was tossed just right in a garlic ranch dressing. for the entree, i got thefiletmignon which came with a delicious whiskey peppercorn sauce on the side! the parmesan potato stack was very good as a side. to finish off had a huge slice of ny style cheesecake with a raspberry sauce! i would highly recommend this steakhouse. i can't wait to go back again!
