East Valley Restaurant

[Red Rabbit]

Someone on MM posted about a new restaurant with many trophy mounts. Looks like a nice place to have a dinner with hunters. Wish some buffalo steaks were on the menu (drool). Anyone been there yet?

Yeah,

 

Let us know if anyone has been there. I may be in town for business and would like to give them a try.

Anyone know the hours and days? Did not see it on the site.

It's only a block or two away from my house. I'll have to stop in soon!

That is an awesome way to write off all of your North American hunts!!!

 

Hopefully it is a great restaurant, I consider the east valley an area of culinary blight. Very few good eateries for the population and $$ in the area.

 

Anxious to hear some reports when it opens

i went there a few weeks ago...the food was pretty good and it was cool seein all those mounts...however it looks like the taxidermist needs to be fired, and the staff, even managers, knew nothing about the animals. in one picture it talks about the sonoran COVES deer and when i asked someone about it they acted like thats what they were called and i was foolish for trying to correct it..its worth eating at once just to see what it is all about, but i wont go back

Hi, GreyGhost85,

 

I am writing to thank you for pointing out how we misspelled Coues on the piece of artwork we had in the booth at Trophy's steakhouse. My sister in North Dakota did all of the framing and had another company do the name plates and they got it wrong and we didn't catch it. As to the taxidermy work I am sure you are referring to my lifesize Coues mount. I had qiute a struuglle with hides for the mount. The original got ruined in shipping, so I bought asecond one from the tannery and it was no good when we got it as the hair was slipping, and the third one which we used because w ran out of patience to get the mount done had a problem in the neck area, which my taxidermist couldn't fix completely.

Evidently the day you ate at Trophy's we must have been while my wife and I along with our two sons who also manage where back to South Dakota for my nephews wedding. If you had talked to any of us four your questions would have been answered. Our staff knows quite a bit about the animals, but have been instructed to direct the patrons questions to us as one of us or more is in the restaurant everyday.

 

Thanks again for your comments

Well Kevin, I really like the idea.. me and my wife will be driving down from Payson sometime in the near future to see what you have to offer.

If I am not mistaken it is illegal to sell game meat, so can we assume that the meat is farm raised? Nothing I like better than a good buffalo burger so I will certainly be making the trip soon. I just wish it had been there a few years ago when I was going to QC to work every other day or so, I would have made you rich!
