The True and Authentic History of Rustler’s Rooste

(As Told by Old Charlie)

Long before there were fences here in the Valley, a few outlaws made a living by rustling cattle in the middle of the night and then selling them to the local restaurants. The rustlers lived in an old wooden cabin high atop a butte in the foothills of the South Mountain, hidden from the prying eyes of ranchers and, more importantly, the sheriff.

As time went by, the gang tired of riding into town to sell what they rustled so they converted their cabin into a restaurant that the town folk soon took to calling the Rustler’s Rooste. The menu included thick juicy steaks, savory BBQ ribs with all the fixin’s and, for the more adventurous, rattlesnake. In no time at all their hideout became well known throughout the Valley, drawing folks who soon discovered they really liked the spectacular views almost as much as the down-home cooking.

Today, The Rooste continues to be Arizona’s legendary cowboy steakhouse. Upon arrival, guests are greeted by H***y, a genuine longhorn steer. Walk inside past the waterfall and to the infamous “Tin Slide”. Lots of tenderfoots ask us why we have both a slide and stairs? Well, back in the Rooste’s outlaw days when it was just a small cabin, the slide was part of a clever escape plan in case the Law or bounty hunters showed up. The rustlers could just open the trap door and slide down a big ol’ piece of tin to their horses and make their getaway.
