About Preston's

Edward Preston Schwerd began making his mark in meat packing in the mid 1940's. By 1950, Preston – as he was known – would establish Meridian Meat Packers in Idaho. His commitment to quality and craft was passed to his sons, Chuck and Ed, who continued their father's tradition with the launch of Red Steer Meats in Phoenix, in 1969. Both businesses remain family owned and operated.


Schwerd's uncompromising vision is one of mouthwatering perfection. Preston's offers an enticing combination of traditional steakhouse classics and innovative surprises. Premium cuts of meat aged to perfection, fresh seafood served mercury-free, and locally sourced ingredients are the foundation of a rich and flavorful menu sure to delight the most sophisticated palate.
