Stockyards Restaurant & 1889 Saloon

Take a step back in time to this Phoenix-area restaurant that was once next-door to the largest feedlot in the world. (Stockyards, itself, is on the national registrar of historic places.) Feast on incredible game dishes, like the starter of wild boar and venison sausage, and the delectable fall-off-the-bone ribs. 5009 E. Washington St., Phoenix, 602.273.7378, www.stockyardsrestaurant.com.

Fab Freebies: Stockyards diners get to start their repast with complimentary - and superscrumptious - cornbread muffins with cinnamon butter.
