Best Steakhouses in Scottsdale
Scottsdale, Arizona — updated August 22, 2026
Four independent and hotel steakhouses in Scottsdale, ranked by how convincingly their ratings hold up, from North Scottsdale Road to Pinnacle Peak.
Listings verified
Scottsdale's steakhouse map is really two maps: the north corridor around Scottsdale Road and Pinnacle Peak, where the big-room dining rooms sit, and the resort restaurants attached to properties along Camelback and Princess Drive. The national brands are heavily represented here, so this list sticks to places that are either one-off Scottsdale rooms or tied to a specific hotel address. Ratings are quoted with their review counts, because a 4.4 across hundreds of visits tells you more than a high score from a handful.
1. Dominick's Steakhouse
The strongest combination of rating and volume on this list: 4.7 across more than 2,300 reviews, which is about as settled as a score gets in a market this crowded. It sits at 15169 N Scottsdale Rd, in the northern restaurant cluster rather than downtown, so plan for a drive if you are staying near Old Town. A room this size and this well reviewed fills on weekend evenings, and the rating suggests the kitchen holds up at volume rather than only on quiet nights. Book ahead rather than walking in after 7pm on a Friday or Saturday.
2. Prestons Scottsdale
Also a 4.7, with more than 1,500 reviews behind it, which puts it a close second to Dominick's on evidence rather than on score. The address is 8700 E Pinnacle Peak Rd #115, in far north Scottsdale near the Pinnacle Peak corridor. Listings file it under bars as well as restaurants, which is worth knowing if you want the lounge side of the experience rather than a formal dinner. Two rooms rated 4.7 in the same part of town gives you a fallback if one is fully committed on a weekend night.
3. J&G Steakhouse
A resort steakhouse at 6000 E Camelback Rd, rated 4.5 from 656 reviews. That is a smaller sample than the two rooms above it, so treat the score as strong but less thoroughly tested. The Camelback location makes it the most convenient entry here for anyone based around Old Town or the Scottsdale Fashion Square area, rather than driving north. Hotel dining rooms tend to run on resort hours and fill around event weekends, so call ahead in high season.
4. BOURBON STEAK
Inside the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess at 7575 E Princess Dr, rated 4.4 from 703 reviews. It carries the lowest score on this list, but across seven hundred visits, which makes it a reliable 4.4 rather than an uncertain one. The Princess address means the restaurant shares a property with the resort's seasonal programming, so parking and access get busier when the hotel is running events. Reserve if you are coming from off-property, and give yourself extra time to find the restaurant within the resort grounds.
What we left off
Fogo de Chao Brazilian Steakhouse on N Scottsdale Road and The Capital Grille on N Scottsdale Road were both cut as national chains, despite strong local ratings. Mastro's Steakhouse on E Pinnacle Peak Rd and Mastro's Ocean Club on N Kierland Blvd were removed on the same grounds, and they are also two locations of a single brand, which would have doubled up the list.
