“ Not for the faint hearted (price-wise) but a must place to visit. There is a definite aura of culture deeply rooted with history, struggle, family, and tradition that is eloquently complemented with years of experience with ranching that is clearly depicted with quality meat cuts, service, and food preparation. They cut/prep in house daily and even offer butcher items on demand to take home ”

“ WOW! This steakhouse has 2 different type of severs! The drink server was awesome and recommend us very delicious drinks like the Mango paleta (tasted like a mango paradise) and the bloody Maria which was delicious. We first got an order of the jumbo breaded shrimp and I was left speechless with how great it tasted. The shrimp were huge and breaded perfectly. The steak was so good I had flashbacks to when I was a child eating steak on a ranch. I wish I could eat this every weekend. In my opinion my favorite thing was the kettle beans. 10/10 recommend ”

“ I've never been to a ranch before, but I'm glad my first time was Cattleman's. As our family waited to be seated, we went to the back to see and feed the ranch animals. The ranch has an ostrich, rabbits, goats, horses, sheep, peacocks, and buffalo. We were able to feed the goats and rabbits for a quarter. There's also a lakeside view that is stunning during sunset and you can see the geese on the water/flying as night falls. After an hour of waiting, our party of 14 was seated. The interior of the ranch really made you feel like you were in a cabin in the rural countryside, but a nice and cozy cabin and not a wild west saloon. The waiter had a heavy but jolly Southern accent and took care of us for the night. The food was served in large portions, with ginormous ribs, steaks, and sides. Bread, butter, coleslaw and baked beans are refillable throughout the night so my partner and I opted for a 14 oz ribeye with corn on the cob and beef brisket and ribs with curly fries so we wouldn't get full too fast. The ribeye, which I got medium rare, was well seasoned and super tender. The beef brisket and ribs were also tasty and had a smoky flavor paired with tasty barbecue sauce. The piña colada we ordered, initially a little sweet, was great when paired with the savory food. For the tasty food, large portions, and mini zoo, the experience was worth the money. My only regret was not trying their dessert (darn these big Texas portions!). ”

“ Someone recommended this place on our flight and we had to go. When in Tx! The portions were huge. Everything we ordered was just so good. The place is huge. We were seated right away! Our server was great efficient and helpful. ”

“ When I found out I was going to El Paso for the first time (for a work trip), it was unanimous from my coworkers that Cattleman's was a must. I'm a big steak guy and knowing that this was a restaurant on an actual ranch intrigued me. I was concerned since it was a bit of a drive but it was well worth it. This restaurant is obviously older with a lot of history, the zoo was a surprise, and the food was fantastic. There's a lot to see when you get there. Once you get seated and your food ordered, you can walk around the restaurant and see the historic memorabilia at the front, the movie memorabilia in the back of all the famous films that were filmed there, or go out on the back deck and check out the beautiful scenery. After dinner, be sure to check all the animals. The steakhouse reminds me of a steakhouse back outside of Nashville. It's old school and the menu even has the same font. Obviously in Texas, you go big and because my favorite food is steak, I went for the biggest, The Cowboy (a 2lb T-Bone) with a baked potato and mushrooms. The coleslaw, beans, and bread were complimentary. The steak was great, cooked to a perfect medium rare with light seasoning. Although it's not the best steak I've had (it needed a bit more salt), it hit the spot of what I was craving and I ate the entire thing. The baked potato came plain and came with butter and sour cream. The mushrooms were interesting... They were sweet but the waitress told me they would be. Very unique twist! The coleslaw also had a unique twist, it had pineapple chunks in it. I think this is a Texas thing because other Texas restaurants I visited had the same thing. Finally the baked beans were interesting as well. It tasted more like chili due to the cumin seasoning added to it. I ate everything you saw in my pictures. It was quite a bit of food and the zoo/ranch was a perfect opportunity to walk it off. There's plenty to see here and it really is an iconic destination. I would definitely return again! ”

“ One of my all time favorites. I took one of my colleagues to this masterful steakhouse. I love the scenery there, reminds me of an old western movie. I suggest the coyote room, but didn't see any of them that night. The service is always outstanding, I had multiple waiting staff regularly checking on us. My ribeye was soft, tender and delicious! My coworkers got ribs and brisket, huge portions! If you're visiting El Paso, it worth the drive out there. ”
