Nineteen 86 Steakhouse

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

The West Valley's Prime Steakhouse

Nineteen 86 Steakhouse sits inside Desert Diamond Casino's West Valley property in Glendale, Arizona, and it earns its place as the area's go-to American steakhouse through straightforward commitment to quality. Oversized booths, marble accents, and warm wood tones set a tone the restaurant itself describes as "casual elegance" — comfortable enough for a weeknight dinner, polished enough for a special occasion.

A Wine List Worth Celebrating

The restaurant's wine program carries a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for 2024, recognition that reflects genuine depth and curation. Every Thursday, the kitchen leans into that strength with half-price bottles up to $200 — a rare opportunity to explore the list without reservation. Pairing a well-chosen bottle with a perfectly grilled steak is exactly the kind of evening Nineteen 86 was built for.

What's on the Plate

The menu moves confidently across the steakhouse canon. Weekly features give a sense of the kitchen's range: a Thursday Filet and Lobster pairing — grilled Atlantic lobster tail alongside a 6 oz filet tenderloin with potatoes au gratin and seasonal vegetables — and a Sunday slow-roasted 14 oz Prime Rib served with mashed potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. Special occasion menus have featured a 33 oz Prime Tomahawk for two and chef-crafted plates like Bone-in NY Steak Bleu and Tournedos Rossini, rounding out a roster that extends to lobster and desserts the restaurant describes, without exaggeration, as "swoon-worthy."

An Honest Night Out

Open Wednesday through Sunday from 4 pm, Nineteen 86 Steakhouse delivers the kind of American steakhouse experience that keeps guests planning their next visit before the check arrives — the restaurant's own words, and a fair summary of what the place consistently delivers.
