Welcome to The Old Hoof & Horn Steakhouse!
The old Hoof and Horn was built in 1898, the same year as the Stockyards Exchange Building in Chicago, and both began their long-standing traditions of quality cuts of roasts, steaks and ribs. Hoof & Horn is the oldest restaurant in St Joseph. The original two-story building began as a saloon and brothel. In 1907 a retired policeman bought the building and turned it into a cafe. It has remained a restaurant ever since.
In 1963 Jack and Rosie Miller purchased the Hoof & Horn Restaurant. Due to their dedication to quality and consistency, the Millers built a reputation matched by few others. They believed in using only choice aged Dugdale beef and an in-house butcher shop to ensure the quality of their steaks and further enhance your dining pleasures.
The same dedication to quality and consistency has continued since 1896 with the current owner. We use an exclusive aged Certified Black Angus beef program in our in-house butcher shop so that every cut is perfectly tender.
Since the 1800’s, the Stock Yard Meat Packing Company has been known for their unprecedented quality of meat, and Hoof & Horn’s cuts are no exception. In 1990 the Hoof & Horn was the first restaurant to receive the Missouri Beef Backer Award, and in 2002 it was inducted to the Missouri Beef Hall of Fame.
