Very pleasant dining experience, solid service and atmosphere. We like the feel of the location.

Food was mixed-spinach dip, tomato and mozzarella salad excellent appetizers, filet and baby back ribs excellent main plates;
Asparagus an excellent side. Really enjoyed the ribs!

The NY strip and the Prime Rib were more “OK..”

So, mixed on the menu. Overall an enjoyable evening!

Visited Keeler's last week for the first time with a friend and I was very impressed. We had heard about this place from my friends parents and we were glad we decided to go! The service was amazing. Our waitress was super knowledgeable about the menu and very attentive. Our appetizer, drinks, steaks and dessert were fantastic. I will say I got the Mac and cheese and the french onion soup as sides and they definitely lacked luster compared to the rest of the meal. They were just very plain and not what I expected compared to everything else. I loved that the owner visited our table! Made it feel very personal meeting the owner. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience. Will definitely be back when I'm back in the area.

Chef Anthony Apolinar at Keelers is one of my favorite chefs in the valley, and I am also a big fan of Keelers Hospitality Group. From the food to the cocktails, they excel at hospitality and bringing diners comfort foods with a passionate twist. Not to mention, the cocktail menu designed by Adam Downing is as diverse as it is fun to sip!

Why I love Keeler's Chef Anthony Apolinar? He brings a deep passion for food and people and a commitment to fresh, from-scratch cooking to Keeler's Neighborhood Steakhouse.

Apolinar's culinary journey began at age six, learning to make chorizo from his mother and “Nana“. His formative years were spent honing his work ethic through baling hay and tending livestock. Those early experiences instilled in him a love of food and a connection to his roots.

The Keeler family, a family owned and operated hospitality group, offered Chef Apolinar a haven for his creativity across their three concepts. For the past nine years, he has revolutionized their menus, transitioning from pre-made dishes to fresh, from-scratch comfort foods.

Chef Apo understood Cave Creek's love for "meat and potatoes," which inspired his "Keelers Loaded Baker." This behemoth baked potato impresses with tender filet mignon, bacon, and a symphony of cheeses. This exemplifies Apolinar’s philosophy of elevating comfort food. "My job is to create dishes that evoke memories of childhood and comfort.“

The Keelers kitchen boasts a close-knit team which is evident in the staff's longevity. Chef beams with pride as he mentions his sous chef's journey from dishwasher four years ago.

A highlight of the menu is Apolinar's favorite cut, a 16-ounce prime rib eye. It bursts with flavor and tenderness. The brisket blend beef burgers with house-made buns sell over 2,000 a month.

Apolinar's Mexican-American heritage shines through in dishes like the Baja Sea Bass, topped with crab meat and a cajun beurre blanc, in addition to a chunky cilantro crab cake finished with chipotle aioli.

For dessert, try Apple Pie, which uses 10 lbs of Granny Smith applies for every pie, or the New York Cheesecake and Creme Brulee.

As you sit at the bar, enjoying one of Keeler’s incredible cocktails, you'll likely encounter the regulars. They come not just for the food and cocktails, but for a place that feels like home. There is also a rooftop patio!

Steak was delicious and would go back to have the stuffed bake potato with filet. But the 2 prime rib dinners were just so so. Mac cheese side would have been better if they used kraft out of a box ...The green beans side was also just so so. Definitely nothing special. We couldn't believe how blah the two sides we picked were. But like I said we would go back and have the stuffed bake potato.

Very cool atmosphere and best service. The portions are large and the pork chops are the best we have ever had. Wife had seabass and it was perfectly cooked

The hostess gave us any option we want to where to sit. Our server Serra was very pleasant and gave us great service. The food was delicious & the establishment should be called Killers Steakhouse because the food is killer! Biker friendly but can tell lots of regulars

Have been there twice. This is a must dine there when you are in Phoenix area. The food, wait staff and atmosphere is fantastic. I had steak one time and short ribs one time, both were wonderful. My friends had a shrimp pasta dish, they shrimp were huge! Very flavorful dishes.
