It is a neat little place that cooks steaks on a wood fire grill where you can actually see your steak being cooked. Â I thought that was pretty cool. Â The steaks were okay. Â Mine was cooked to order, but it didn't have much seasoning. Â The baked potatoes were awesome, and my daughter who is a year and a half loved the fried macaroni and cheese triangles that came with the appetizer sampler. Â The only issue I had was that it seemed dark and dingy. Â They really need to clean their light fixtures. Â Overall the service was good and attentive and very friendly.
Review Source:The best steaks EVER, ANYWHERE. Â Hands down. Â Period.
Herb, the owner, insists on preparing each steak himself, over the (locally grown) wood fire pit. Â That's fine by me, because he's a master at it. Â if you order rare, you get rare, medium, you get medium. Â A dining companion ordered well done (Gasp!!!), but Herb still cooked that beef to perfection. Â He got all the color out of it, yet kept it very moist and juicy. Â Mastery, I tell ya!
The prices are quite reasonable.  You get a decent amount of food for the money, especially from a "steak house".  The food on the lunch menu could come down a buck or two.  $9.95 for a burger and chips IS a bit much.  But  it was tasty, I must admit.
The atmosphere is old west and super friendly. Â The staff is very nice and attentive. Â There's a dance floor. Â My kids loved twirling around to the old classic country songs playing on the jukebox. Â It was so much fun being there!
If I could make a personal suggestion or two, to make it a bit more attractive to newbies: Â An update on the furniture, a wider beer selection and better lighting (maybe knock open some of the old windows, or clear the clutter away from the ones already there). Â But leave that old jukebox alone! Â
Love this restaurant. Â I'll be back again. Â I'm torn about spreading the word about this place. Â I don't want it to get so popular the place gets ruined. Â :)
The best shrimp I've ever had (whole family agreed). Â I don't know how Barb makes them but they are cooked in butter and taste like lobster. Â The fried oysters are huge and delicious. Â I asked them to make me a combo meal of the 2. Â Incredible. Â Dinner on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.
Review Source:We were here on 9/15/12 and we were so excited to eat here again as 7 of our party of 8 had not been back for years. Anticipation for mouth watering steaks and good ole Wild West ambience. However, the rib eye steaks were very thin as the cook/owner was seen cutting them thinner. Some were not rare but raw seared. I ordered a New York Strip and was served a raw rib eye. I could only eat 2 bites and let a friend take it home for his dogs.
Mixed drinks were watered down or weak. The bar was empty yet the bartender served the weak, mixed drinks in plastic tumblers, saying she was so busy and her bar glasses were not washed. The restaurant was also not busy at this time (7 pm), so we were shocked to have so much wrong with the food, drinks and overall service. We had reservations so to all in our group this was inexcusable  and totally unprofessional  for an established business. I have to at least give them 1 Star as it is unable to post without a rating. I will leave on a positive note and say the place appeared clean.
Friendly owners and service, historic building, cold beer and great steaks. I can't ask for much more. As another reviewer said, walking in here feels like stepping back in time. The building itself is well over 100 years old--see if they'll let you check out the massive old vault and safe where they kept miners' wages. The railroad spur outside is where local ranchers would load up cattle for sale. Â Miners and ranchers from all over the area would come here for food, drink, and sleep. Â So the Kirkland Bar/Steakhouse/Hotel has been in the center of it all for a long, long time. A very cool piece of old west history. Â
The bar is open Weds through Sunday from 11:00 AM until ??, and is worth the five mile detour from Arizona 89 just to check the old place out while you slake your thirst. Â The steakhouse is only serving dinner on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The steaks are fresh cut, local beef cooked over a mesquite fire producing fantastic flavor. They're served with a salad, potato, and another side of your choice. Prices are reasonable, in the $15-25 range for big steaks with all the fixings. Herb is the owner and the grill master and he couldn't be nicer--not to mention he cooks a perfect steak.
The place is usually very quiet--in fact, in my 5 or so visits, there have been a couple times where my group is the only one there. But don't let that make you think the food isn't good, or the prices are high. It's just an out-of-the-way, Old Arizona outpost that unfortunately a lot of people don't know about. Definitely worth a visit whether you're an out-of-state tourist or an Arizonan checking out the state's quirky and historic back country.
The Fantastic Mr. "It's Complicated" whisked me away for a weekend and promised to show me parts of AZ I'd never seen. First destination was Prescott, and the first stop on the back way to get there was a pit stop/beer break at the Kirkland Bar and Steakhouse. (And Hotel and Arena.)
It's old. It's quirky. It's where cowboys and bikers come together. And it's one of the coolest places I think I've ever been! Haven't had a chance to eat here or stay here - YET! But the service is friendly, the beer is cold, and the place is old enough that you can't help but wonder what stories this building can tell.
From the brochure - built in 1863, Wells Fargo State Stop in 1870. May have been a bordello, was a rail stop, and has been a registered National Historical Site since 1998.
We have the beginnings of a plan to rent out all the hotel rooms and just take the place over for a huge party one weekend. At that point, I will update with a review on the hotel and restaurant - but for now - I can't wait! This place is a find and speaks to what AZ used to be and still is, if you know where to look!
currently having my abode in prescott, az, whenever i'm wanting a steak that tittilates the tastebuds to say ' beef...beef...beef' Â i go to kirkland...the owner is the cook and will cook your steak anyway you want it...rare w/ cool center...he'll cook it rare/med rare.bordering on the cool center...and the taste, you don't want to eat beef unless it really TASTES like beef.....that would be kirkland bar and steakhouse...its the best in no az so far
Review Source:Great ambiance! I was the only person here on a cool overcast day. The pot belly stove was warming to the soul as I drank my frosty beverage and downed a braut. The bartender must have know the Earp brothers. This place is like stepping back one hundred years and after a good long ride on the harley, you'll be glad you stopped.
Review Source:After a fairly bracing ride up from Phoenix via US93 and then the cut across to Bagdad, the Triumph Ratpack found themselves at this establishment.
From the outside, it looks a little beat up and worn down, but as soon as you walk in you are greeted by the ambience of the place. There is a large formal restaurant area one side of the central bar island and an informal and cozy bar area resplendent with a cast iron woodburner, sofa's and pool tables on the other. A large collection of assorted knicknacks, pictures, et al cover the walls.
The service was very friendly, helpful and brisk with the food following shortly behind the order taking. The food itself (at lunchtime) is simple bar fare, burgers (served with a salad to start), pizza, etc; but it was all excellently prepared, fresh and tasty - certainly a few steps up from your local drive thru.
