Cowboy Club Grill & Steakhouse

Cowboy Club Grill & Steakhouse in Sedona, AZ originally opened in 1946 serving as the meeting place, pool hall, saloon, and grocery store to locals and tourists alike.  During the 1950's and 1960's,  over 50 Western movies were filmed in the area and many of Hollywood's biggest stars (legends like John Wayne, Burt Lancaster, Rock Hudson, Elvis Presley, and Joan Crawford) were known to enjoy the warm fire and welcoming atmosphere of this steakhouse.

Only a short walk from our hotel, we chose to eat here for dinner. The interior has totally been redone, so lost some of that old school Western vibe but the view of the red rocks mountains was still amazing.  We ordered a bottled of Bonanza, Cabernet Sauvignon, from Rutherford, CA to accompany our meal.  

To start we shared the Original Cactus Fries served with a sweet prickly pear dipping sauce.  The combination of sweet and tangy was interesting, and the serving size was more than enough for two people to share.

For his main dish, Keith played it safe and ordered the Cowboy Ribeye - 14oz Angus beef cut served with seasonal vegetables and Yukon gold garlic mashed potatoes.  He liked the extra touch of the big "cowboy" knife that was also presented with his plate.

I enjoyed the Wild Caught Salmon - 7oz filet serve with sautéed asparagus, trio of grains with baby kale, and chimichurri.  This dish was cooked perfectly and really satisfying.

Lastly, instead of dessert Keith ordered a cocktail.  The Old Duke - house made pecan infused local bourbon, prickly pear infused bitters, and an orange twist.  It was a little on the sweet side, but a nice ending to his cowboy meal.
