    Half of Cowboy Cut Prime Rib
    Brian B.

    Spectacular service, old west ambiance and generous, delicious steak dinner! Fun, prompt service, fresh salad bar, steaks cooked to perfection and the old west feel of a true AZ tradition since 1984. You get lots of choices for your dinner, so the price is warranted.

    Super busy on arrival. Staff friendly and welcoming. Started with nice warm rolls and butter. Had salad bar as option for a side. Very nice little salad bar with plenty of toppings. Nothing fancy but just right. Ordered French onion soup-was just ok. Not bad but nothing memorable. Hubby had the cheddar burger add bacon. Was massive and very tasty. Could use a bit more cheese. I had the meat sampler with baked potato. Was very disappointed to have an odd nacho cheese sauce on the potato. Should stick with good old shredded cheddar. Was also a bit shocked that the chicken piece was a boneless breast- menu mentioned quarter chicken so was expecting a grilled bone in piece. But flavor ok. Overall well priced and good experience. Will be back.

    I would 100 % recommend this place! We have lived here for a few yrs and have driven past many times on the freeway! Had a reservation for 6:30 pm on a Friday night! 08/28/2026! Was taken back within a few minutes. Had a great table with a view of the open pit - fun to watch! Everything ran so smoothly! Our waitress Madie was delightful ! Stated she was yet not 21 but took my drink order like a PRO! Our prime rib was out of this world and cooked to perfection! My husband had dessert which is the only pic - I managed to take! Great Job Tucson - we will be back!

    When someone asks for a steak house recommendations in Tucson, this is usually one of the first places that pops up so ive always wanted to try it. I get why people like this place. It's not a fancy steak place but serves good quality meat.and the having salad bar is always nice. I love the South Western feel of this restaurant and it particularly felt nice coz I went there after watching the rodeo. Service is great and I do agree with many people that this place is a true Tucson staple that you have to try at least once.

    A warm and rustic atmosphere was created inside the Silver Saddle Steakhouse and Tapadera Lounge. In keeping with old southwest tradition, a custom steel and brick mesquite wood grill and pit were built. An antique buggy wheel with welded horseshoes attached serve to raise the cooking grill to appropriate levels above the smoky mesquite wood fire. Burning Arizona's native mesquite wood lends an unmatched smoke flavor to the food, plus this amazing wood, while burning, can produce temperatures which can exceed 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, so we suggest that no one stand too close to our open fire. Excellent steaks, prepare to order. Service is top notch. Delicious tasting steaks. Thick and juicy! The place is clean and inviting. One of our favorite steak houses. Give it a try.

    What a great place to eat if you live in Tucson or you're visiting like me. My aunt loves this place and I've never been before so why not? The steaks are cooked to order so it comes hot off the grill to your table and I love it! My steak was cooked medium rare and it was delicious. This restaurant has been around for 30 years I believe and it's worth every penny and worth the wait if there's a line. We went around 4pm and it shortly became packed inside, the service was great and fast. We left with our bellies full and no room for dessert. It is an older restaurant so the booths are made for smaller sized people, so if you are a little chunky definitely sit at a table. They have a bar area as well, and they have plenty of space for large parties, if you do have a party of 5 or more call or go online to make a reservation. I liked that the meal came with either a salad bar or a soup, I would've loved to eat more than one plate of salad but I'm glad I didn't because I got so much food. I had a baked potato, and a 10oz NY steak, it also came along with baked beans and dinner rolls. I highly recommend eating here you'll enjoy every bite of food. And come with an empty stomach.

    This place is **Exceptional**! Karen our server never missed a beat. Every trip to the table she never walked away empty handed. Even if it meant a piece of straw paper! She truly was the best. Management, take note & Clone her. Started with "Trio" app of Zucchini, mushrooms & onion rings. All great! Dinner was perfect. Perfectly cooked, served etc., even down to a *cold salad fork* the way it should be. Salad bar h ad such a great selection. My prime rib couldn't of been done any better. The T-Bone steak for my Wife, again cooked perfect! Baked potatoes were the bomb!! Fresh Scallions, sour cream & butter. Even the skins of the potato were done right! Rolls & butter, where do you get them? Outstanding! We took desserts home. Cheesecake & apple pie. Delish. Table $137+ Tip. Worth every penny & we'll be back for sure! Thanks so much!! Finally, great service, food and prices.

    We came here for dinner about 4:30 on a Friday night. A lot of customers were rocking cowboy hats and we even saw some boots with spurs. I ordered some drinks along with the 10 ounce NY strip steak. The steak comes with a trip to the salad bar, which was awesome. My steak arrived with a loaded baked potato and cowboy beans plus bread. My steak was cooked medium rare and think thy deliver it deliberately unseasoned so you can do it your self. I just added a dash of salt and it was perfect. The potato was delicious and the beans were super tasty. For $34 I received a lot of food, a steak any bigger would have been too much for me. The interior is no frills cowboy themed steakhouse. I shall return when in Tucson again.

    Been to Silver Saddle Steakhouse about 8 years ago, had a their prime rib with the light seared to it. My first visit made such an impact I've been talking about it for the last 8 years, fast forward to Father's Day 2026 we decided to drive from Phoenix to Tucson to celebrate my father in law, with our family at Silver Saddle Steakhouse. We all loved it, drinks were DELICIOUS!!!!! And the service was great!!!! We should up at 12:50 since they open at 1 pm to my surprise but not a surprise they already had a line. Oh and the service bar looks delicious and next to it you can see them grilling. I wish I could have taken more pictures but we were hungry.

    I'm a local and I find it hard to get a good steak so usually just end up grilling one at home. But my friend and I wanted to try this place because we know it's iconic to Tucson and she wanted to take me out for my birthday. So we made reservations for Sunday when they opened for lunch, there was already a line at the door before they opened and it honestly didn't seem like they cared about the reservations they just sat everyone at that time. It's definitely a cowboy feel, if you've been to pinnacle peak id say the food and vibes are the same. Service was good! Never felt neglected and made sure we had our drinks refilled and food came out promptly We both ordered NY strip, baked potato loaded that included the bread and salad bar. The bread was actually REALLY Good I wish they gave more out or maybe they did and I didn't ask. The salad bar was very basic but they do seem to make their dressings in house. Let's get down to the main course, the steak now it was cooked to the correct temperature but when I say this is the most flavorless steak I've had I mean it. I'm pretty sure they just take the steak and cook it without any seasoning. The meat was tender and nice but seriously no seasoning. They do give you the ranch style beans which I don't really care for but the baked potato was nice and we got it loaded. Overall, it's very cowboy style and too bland for me. But I'm glad I finally got to try it.

    A half rack of ribs was plenty.

    I love that they still have a salad bar, since so many restaurants have discontinued them after COVID. The waitstaff were very attentive, and the food was great.

    Bone in Ribeye not on the menu

    This is an old school Route 66 style western steak house. In business for decades and unchanged. Steaks cooked over an open mesquite wood fire , simple salad bar with real house made dressing (blue cheese A+) simple side of a well prepared baked potato and bread. Our server Faith was fantastic, with great recommendations and a convincing speech on why we should try the mud pie for dessert (we did). We had a T Bone and a bone in ribeye- cooked to absolute perfection my a real pit master. Tender and full of flavor, just needed the requisite salt and pepper for me. The have a shaker of the secret house seasoning on the table and it was great on the baked potato. This place is rough saw wood and black booths. Old west for sure. If you are looking for linen table clothes and table attendants, probably not your spot. Highly recommended. Hidden gem

    I could not make up my mind where I wanted to celebrate Mother's Day dinner, and of course I had not made a reservation anywhere. My kids have never been to Silver Saddle and I wanted to share this dining experience with them. I called to see if they were accepting walk ins. They said yes but unsure of the wait time depending on the time we arrive. We went to mass and heading over around 6pm. We had a 30 min wait and an amazing dinner and service! I love that it is still a rustic steakhouse with the open mesquite grill inside! The smell is so incredible. Our server was so nice and patient since we haven't been in over 20 years at least. Their menu has so many nice choices and depending on your meal it may include so many extras! We really enjoyed our chicken and steaks! They all were cooked to perfection! Baked potatoes were delicious along with the soup and fresh salad from their salad bar. Our dinner rolls were excellent too. Thank you for a memorable dinner with my family!

    Ask the Community - Silver Saddle Steakhouse

    Is there patio seating?

    No it's indoor only

    Are there gluten-free options? Usually steakhouses have plenty of options but I wanted to be sure there is knowledge of cross-contamination (i.e. are fries safe or should we go with a different potato dish, are menus items marked GF, etc.).

    I would call the and ask. There was a lot of meat, potatoes, salads and good beans. I don't recall seeing GF on the menu, but I'm familiar with GF.

    Do they carry Pabst blue ribbon?

    I don't believe they do. Great wine list and lots of other beers including several microbrews

    How old is restaurant?

    Who cares? The roofs not falling in and all the employees are alive!

    Time to go back and review. I like to revisit places after a few years and see what is different…read more Smoky Mo didn't disappoint. Places are successful because they stay the course and do what they do best. Today we went with the four meat platter, perfect amount for two people, brisket, pulled pork, turkey and sausage. With four side of coleslaw, mac and cheese, potato salad and cornbread. All meats are still sauced unless requested "on the side", but not so much to overwhelm the meat taste. Juicy flavorful pulled pork. Delicious smoked turkey. Brisket was just slightly dry but the sauce and nice bark made it enjoyable. The sausage was AMAZING, juicy and packed with flavor. Coleslaw in my opinion, could use a little more "wetness" but it was still delicious. What can I say about the mac and cheese and potato salad, people from the south, Texas to the Carolina's just know how to get it done. The "Texas Sweet Tea", if you are a diabetic do not drink, however this is a true southern tea, it's done the same all across the south, sugar with some tea thrown in. Four meats, four sides and two drinks with tip $50, not bad for two people, I've definitely spent more for food that didn't even come close to this. Once again Smoky Mo you did not disappoint. If you are a BBQ person this is STILL the best of Tucson. Get out and support this small local business!

It comes with 1/2 lb sliced brisket, 1/2 lb of other meat of your choice, 3 sides, half a sour pickle and a smoked crack pie). The friendly cashier informed us the sausages were an additional $3 today so we decided to add it to our order as well. My major complaint about BBQ is dry, tough and overly salty meats. OMG, this was the most tender and juicy brisket I have ever had. And don't get me started on the pulled pork, it was perfectly seasoned. Just wished I had it on a bun instead. My son went crazy for the Sonoran spicy sausage. My favorite side was the dill potato salad. I had to ask, Toby the owner, where the cute name, Bashful Bandit Barbecue comes from. He said I was asking some great questions. Lol. Place used to be a biker's bar. When he took over he decided to just keep the name. We had a lovely and engaging conversation with him. He is one smart guy, graduated from NYU and Northern Arizona University. He welcomes each customer by asking where they are from. Who else does that?? Entire staff are incredibly friendly.

This included Brisket, Pulled Pork, Tri-tip, Sausage, Turkey, two St. Louis Style Pork Ribs, and 4 slices of toast with our choice of two eight-ounce sides (we chose the baked beans and coleslaw. My favorites were the Ribs, Brisket, Tri-tip, and baked beans. The turky was solid and smokey. I'm not really a fan of sausage, but my wife enjoyed these. I loved that you could really taste the smokey taste and that everything was fresh, juicy, and tender. The baked beans were the kind of love, with pieces of pork throughout the mixture.

It ultimately pushed me to stop supporting this business, and based on those experiences, I can no longer recommend it. There are far better BBQ options out there. From what I personally witnessed, the owner, David, was consistently disrespectful toward employees and created a company culture that I don't believe deserves support.

Brooks, the owner, runs a well-oiled machine. The portions are generous and the prices are fair. They're a food truck, so you'll have to follow them on social media to find out where they'll be but it's definitely worth the trip.
