Nowhere else in Arizona can you get the full cowboy experience than at this restaurant that even has a Longhorn steer (named Horney, if it matters) out front to greet every visitor. Rustler’s Rooste opened 47 years ago, in 1971, and has been a favorite experience of locals and visitors alike ever since. Perched high on a butte and delivering forever views, this 2-story restaurant is as unique as they come.

Seriously. How many steakhouses can you name that have a pet Longhorn out front? But that's not even the beginning of the fun that's in store for you at this eatery...

Step inside and hop on the one-of-a-kind tin slide to enter the downstairs dining room. (If that's too much excitement for one day, then you can opt for a more traditional entry via the stairs.)

Downstairs, you'll find a Texas-style toe-tapping band, complete with a life sized cutout of Kenny Chesney on the edge of the stage.

A kid's menu doles out much of the same, but in smaller portions. If you look closely at the menu, you'll see an asterisk pointing out that kids "can eat free, just ask your server." Don't forget to ask!
