About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Hot spot
  • Good for groups
From the Pretty Decent Concepts team comes Filthy Animal. Elegant and wild, this concept is inspired by the beauty and brutality of the jungle. Featuring a wood fire cooking pit as the focal point of the restaurant, this concept is delivering a dining experience like no other in Arizona.

Why they're an Icon

From the OpenTable editors: Stepping into Filthy Animal is a transportive experience, thanks to a sexy dining room done up in rich leathers, dark wood, and hanging greenery—all centered around a large jaguar. The global restaurant comes from the team behind popular spots Wren & Wolf and Carry On, and must-tries on the wood-fire-driven menu include tuna pineapple ceviche and spicy grilled lobster with mala sauce and gochujang butter. Pro tip: Don't miss Drop Dead Gorgeous, the disco-inspired cocktail bar hidden inside.

    Oysters were tiny. I ordered wine with dinner but it came out much later than my entree. Food otherwise was delicious! Service was great!

    Filthy Animal is an absolute gem! The food was outstanding. Bold flavors, perfectly cooked, and clearly made with care. Just as impressive was the service: friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. From start to finish, it was a top-notch dining experience. Highly recommend!

    Service was impeccable from the minute we entered the establishment. Wine was priced and not gouged at all and the price of a tap beer was great price. We did Restaurant week so we could try a few things. The dumplings are amazing and so is the sauce. Sides with our steak was delicious and perfect complement with steak. Flavor of steak was delicious and sauce was also perfect but shouldn’t need for steak. Just my opinion but will highly recommend and will be back. We celebrated my Birthday and nicely done with desserts! Overall 90 with the exception of steak or would have been a 100. Kudos to your kitchen and staff.

    Filthy Animal – 3/5 Stars Cool vibe, great drinks, and a name that grabs your attention—but the experience fell short. The cocktails were the highlight—creative and well-executed. Unfortunately, the food was forgettable, the speakeasy felt more like a marketing gimmick than a hidden gem, and they ran out of parking validation before 8pm, which is just lazy. It’s no Wren & Wolf. Not even close.
