Sedona is a popular Arizona tourist town. Southwestern spirituality mixes with real cowboys living the Wild West life in the 21st century (i.e. driving topless Jeeps instead of horses) in Sedona, and the amazing formations of red rocks everywhere make the entire region look otherworldly. If you’d think a town like Sedona has some great, authentic Southwestern food, well, you’d think right. My favorite Southwestern style steakhouse restaurant that is also tourist-friendly – not off the beaten track, that is – is the Cowboy Club, right on Hwy 89A.

The Cowboy Club bills itself as serving “High Desert Cuisine,” with over 50 years of “Old West Tradition and Hospitality.” Kids on vacation in Sedona get into the spirit of the area, and even typically picky eaters (at least mine) will try the Cactus Fries, BBQ Bison skewers, and maybe even the Rattlesnake Tamale. I had them all; they’re different than normal travel fare, but that’s part of what makes a vacation memorable. And yes; they are all very, very good!

There are plenty of menu items to please the less adventurous eater, of course; soups, salads, burgers and the like. I enjoyed the Grilled Top Sirloin, and my dining companion polished off those Baby Back Ribs like they were going out of style. My kids were very happy with the items on the Children’s Menu, which was pretty typical kiddie fare. They aren’t exactly high-end gourmands, however. If it comes with fries, they’re happy. The Cowboy Club is one of Sedona’s more popular casual restaurants for tourists, and for good reason. It’s a real crowd pleaser.
