Our history

It started in Scottsdale in 1964.

Our first Cork ’n Cleaver restaurant opened in 1964 in Scottsdale, Arizona. The owners and originators, with restaurant experience in Aspen, Colorado, developed the unique concept of Cork ’n Cleaver. Much of the Southwestern decor, building construction and fixtures were built by us. The decor was thoughtfully planned to create the most comfortable, warm atmosphere one could find other than home.

Original and unique concepts such as an innovative salad bar, cleaver-style menus, Jeroboam wine list, a limited steak menu and exhibition cooking added to the atmosphere, but helped establish The Cork as an instant success.

The Cork ’n Cleaver has changed and diversified. But, our basic philosophy remains the same as it was in those early days.

A commitment to quality and excellence in service, people and food. Operating with the idea of treating others as we would like to be treated.
