Discover more about Dambar & Steak House

The Dambar & Steak House is more than just a restaurant; it's a Kingman institution that embodies the spirit of the Old West. Located on historic Route 66, also known as 'America's Mother Road,' and Andy Devine Avenue, named after Kingman's native son and famous 1950's film star, the Dambar has been serving locals and travelers alike for over 35 years. The building itself has a rich history, originally constructed in the 1930s as a WPA (Works Progress Administration) project during the Great Depression. It served as a gas station in the 1950s before becoming a bar in the 1960s. Legend says that a construction worker bought the bar, and his wife protested, calling it that "damn bar". The name stuck, and the Dambar eventually expanded into a full-service restaurant. Inside, the Dambar exudes a casual, Wild West ambiance. Wooden booths, sawdust on the floor, and walls adorned with ranching history create a unique and welcoming atmosphere. A dedicated room showcases the life and career of Andy Devine, adding a touch of local celebrity to the experience. The menu features classic American fare, with a focus on hearty steaks and cowboy cuisine. Popular dishes include the Dam Red Ribeye, Cheesy Garlic Steak Sandwich, and the Damburger. With generous portions and friendly service, the Dambar offers a true taste of Kingman's hospitality.
