My sister and I chose this place based purely on its rich history - it's been around forever.
The hospitality was great, and unlike other stuffy steakhouses, I preferred the light airiness to the restaurant.
I had 12oz ribeye. It comes with either a soup/salad - I had their delicious seafood chowder - as well as a side - I chose their loaded baked potato.
A steak is a steak is a steak, but here at Stockyards, they make a mighty good steak. It's so tender, juicy, and flavorful and that you don't need any sort of condiment to offset the flavor of the meat. It was so good.
Our waiter was great. He comped our dessert when he was informed it was my sister's birthday. If you're looking for a nice dinner option, or some place for a celebratory meal, I would highly recommend Stockyards.
