My wife and I went here for a date night. I called ahead to make a reservation, and Mrs. Cagle assisted me. She was extraordinarily helpful and personable over the phone, as well as in person when we arrived. We were seated promptly, and the service from the waiter throughout our visit was perfect. He checked in on us just enough, but was never an annoyance. He even remembered little details about what we had requested that wait staff at a lesser restaurant would have ignored/forgotten. The food was perfect. Weeks later, my wife still talks about how delicious her filet tasted. She says it's the best steak she ever had. I might have to agree. The beans were also about the best I've tasted. We will most definitely be back, unless the Lord comes to take us home first. A+!!! read more

Such a nice place to go. Great staff and service. The ribeye didn't have its typical seasoning, but we didn't complain. House salads are boring, but competent. Corn bread was unusually dry. New blacktop on driveway. Very nice. I want to support this great business, but it needs to step it up a notch. read more

Great atmosphere, attentive waitress, and excellent food! Western themed grounds and buildings at an extremely affordable price for it all. Four friends all satisfied at $92 total bill. Had the BarBQ Ham, Turkey, Chicken, and Brisket with a baked potato and salad. Friends had Fajitas and steak and said they were very good as well. Cobbler and ice cream at other tables looked and smelled tempting but we were stuffed. Will be back! read more

We ate here last night after a long day at the hospital with a family member and was so pleasantly surprised!! We found this place here on yelp and thought we were driving to just another steakhouse and when we finally saw the turn off for Cagle Steaks we were shocked to find out that it's also an old western town backdrop, live music, a general store, all on a huge beautiful ranch! We had to wait for a table but didn't mind as we sat in the courtyard was great live music. When we were in the dining room we ordered the appetizer sampler, and the 10oz ribeye steak. Oh my were they tender and the perfect medium!! The steak came with 2 sides and you get free (to die for) beans and choice of corn bread (which we chose) or white bread. We ended up buying the steak seasoning in the general store and a postcard for my collection. We will definitely go back and take our friends! read more

The best steak dinner I've had in as long as I can remember. The staff is friendly. The atmosphere is pretty authentic. My only issue is that the room echoes a bit so if someone isn't minding their toddler it can be obnoxious. Why someone would bring a kid that young to a steak place is beyond me. A separate area for families with young children would be great. read more

Cagle Steaks - 1" steak (medium rare) and baked potato with everything. Heaven. - Steakhouses Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Best steak in the Lubbock area. Good service and locally owned by great people.

Brought an out of town visitor during the 50% capacity phase of re-opening and was a little surprised none of the staff were wearing masks. However, there was a focus on distancing parties away from one another as much as possible. The service was great and my ribeye was delicious. Beans and bread were basic. read more

Came to Lubbock to see some family and we decided to go here for a steak dinner. My sister was squealing with excitement when we pulled in because she loves to document EVERYTHING and Cagle's is on a beautiful piece of property with some sweet West Texas charm. The staff was extremely friendly and the steaks were delicious. My dad wished there was a larger wine selection but they do have shiner bock on tap! Definitely go here and support this family owned restaurant! read more

I've eaten here a few times. Food is okay. Steaks were okay. But everytime the food was always a little cold. Atmosphere was the best thing they have going for them. read more

Went to Cagle's with my wife and daughter recently and had another great experience. You can tell you're in a good place when the owner seats you and is obviously involved in the business. She is always friendly. Her husband seems to be doing some of the cooking, but also comes around some as well. Steak was great and I really like their beans. I'm not sure what other people are looking for in their steak, but theirs is what I measure everyone else against. read more

Service was slow. The restaurant was almost empty and it took 40 minutes to get the food. As soon as we got it everyone in the party had there steak undercooked or overcooked. I asked to send it back and they said it will take 20 minutes to cook another. I told them i didn't like my steak because i order medium and i got well done. Dam beef jerky cost me $29 and they call themselves a steak place! Never again! read more

Service was bad. Ordered the filet medium rare came out 40 minutes later so well done it was like a hockey puck. Took me another 15 minutes to waive down the server to send it back. Avoid this place. read more

Heard a lot about this place. Great western ambiance but food was just so-so. Our son's ribeye was so peppered he had 2 large waters. And his baked potato was cold. "Baked potato on campus is awesome. This one is room temperature and kinda hard". My chicken fried ribeye was terrible. Over fried and crunchy. The sliver of steak was dry inside. Didn't eat but a quarter of it. And here's the real rub: get out of the bbq business. The worst cold piece of brisket and fatty rib my husband said he's ever had. We'll stick to steak joint in town. It's been 3 for 3. read more

We went for our first time and could not be more disappointed! I ordered the brisket plate and after waiting a hour and 15 minutes it finally arrived (we showed up at 5:45 on a Saturday evening). It was literally NOTHING but fat! I tried to take a couple of bites and it was like chewing lard. The hush puppies on my fathers plate were brown on the outside and raw dough in the middle. I usually just bite the bullet but considering it was 18$ , i decided to say something. The waiter got his manager and she introduces herself as the owner. I explained the problem and she hatefully stated 'that is all meat from the outside of the brisket' and stormed off. Next thing you know, we had our check. Will NEVER return! If the owner does not care about the quality of food then the employees definitely will not either!! Not worth the drive or the money!!! read more

Cagle Steaks - I took one bite. This is how the brisket was presented! - Steakhouses Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Valentines dinner is busy when you don't make reservations ahead of time. That said we were prepared to wait our turn because the steak is good at this place. We arrived at 7:00 and waited 15 minutes in line just to put our name on the wait list. We were told the wait was an hour and a half and that was ok with us. We walked across the restaurant to wait in the area where music is played. Lots of tables with empty beer bottles that needed to be bussed. The daughter of the owner was the only one in there and she was bar tending. The band was playing some very eclectic music from many genres. I noticed people who were in line behind us were leaving but I didn't think anything about it until I had to go to the bathroom then I saw those people eating. On my way back I stopped to ask how much longer our wait was and then this is where everything went south. The owners wife flipped through 3 pages of the steno pad to find our name. There were a lot of names with beeper numbers beside the name crossed out and our name was the only one not crossed out that was left. Without hesitation, she looked at me and said everyone else had reservations so she had to work them in first. I pretty much surmised she was not being truthful and told me it would be about 15 minutes. No sooner did I get back to the music place when my beeper started buzzing. As we walked into the restaurant it was pretty much empty at 9:00 pm. We were sat at a table for 8 despite there being a lot of empty booths. It's upsetting to say the least. We were finally served our dinner at 9:30 pm and it wasn't worth the 2 1/2 hour wait. I won't be back. read more

Good, not great. Steak was cooked right, flavor was ok, sides were lacking. Only ate at restaurant, didn't take time to look around at the other things. read more

I don't come to Lubbock often but I come here almost every time. This visit everything was WONDERFUL! The bread was delish, the salad was fresh (go for the balsamic...SOOOO GOOD)! My steak was perfect (even though I'm leery of going with the thin steak, my Jake was cooked PERFECTLY). All of the food for our table of 6 was above par. Well done...can't wait until next time! read more

Was heading to the Panhandle for a funeral, decided to stay the night in Lubbock and went to Cagle Steakhouse for dinner. Seated promptly, the wait staff was professional and attentive. Ordered my ribeye steak, RARE with the baked potato and a side salad. The steak was wonderful, tender and flavorful, also partook of the pinto beans. After I paid the check and headed out the door, an unassuming man walked up and asked me how was the food. I told him the honest truth, the food was outstanding and the staff excellent. After a few minutes of talking, he introduced himself - John Cagle, owner. This was an AWESOME experience and I will be back any time I am in Lubbock. read more

Cagle's has great curb appeal ... 1 star, Atmosphere ... 1 star, an adequate but completely unengaging waitress ... 1/2 star, free beans ... 1/2 star. Way over priced. I won't be back. read more

My family and I were deeply disapointed with this steak house. Everyone my sister talk to recommended it because the steaks are great, which is true, but it's a little too kitschy in the cowboy vein. It's feels like eating at a theme park's mess-hall. The bar and restaurant, facing side by side, are nothing more than warehouses crudely decorated with Texan bric-a-brac, Christmas lights and beer signs. Margaritta's are served in Styrophome cups and sides are served in small styrophome bowls. I could deal with this but as soon as my sister's boyfriend requested bread-plates for our appetizers, the waitress said, "Um, we usually don't give out bread plates but I'll see what I can find." Since I don't eat steak I ate the "buffet fixins" - a major letdown. The beans and cole-slaw were bland and somewhat generic, although the potato salad was okay. Overall, I'd say this place is a step down from Luby's. read more

We used to love going to Cagle's for their nicely cut and cooked steaks, but the last visit was a big disappointment. The steaks were smaller and the prices were higher! The steaks were fatty and the pinto beans had absolutely zero spices. Not even salt. It is hard to find a place in Texas who forgot to use salt. Last but not least, the prices of their margaritas went up to $12 for a regular size glass. This has got to be the most expensive margarita in town. Too bad there is nothing special about it. read more

Not the place to go for large parties. We had a large group and made reservations so they would be prepared. Sadly they were not. The menu stated with the 3 meat you get 2 sides so people ordered that way. None one mentioned that one of the sides were beans that were in another room so people were charged for an additional side. And the worse part was the waiter when asked about the charge on the ticket said " Oh yes that is a typo on the menu'" I had the salmon which was terribly dry and my mashed potato was the baked potato cut up with a fork. Big miss for the whole group and the when the owner asked about our meal was not very kind when we gave our feedback. read more

That's right, as good as it gets. This place 'is' steaks' served in a cowboy setting. The specialty cuts are all ribeye served by size 3/4 inch 1 inch ++, etc. I laughed pretty hard at the two 1 star reviews. One said it was expensive (pretty much all you can eat for $21!). The other didn't like the barn decor, lol. When you drive onto the Cagles Ranch and see a 1800's general store you really should know what to expect. The taste/texture of this steak was as good as I've had at Sparks or Peter Lugers so put that in your pipe and smoke it. Ps. I can't believe the bill was only $25 all said and done (each). read more

I read the previous post and chuckled a bit as she never even tried the steak! You'd think they'd try the steak before reviewing a STEAKHOUSE, right? I will agree that the decor of the place needs work- if you want fine linens, crystal glasses, and quiet atmosphere - you definitely should go elsewhere. But the steaks and BBQ are easily in the top tier of Lubbock. Its almost as good as Las Brisas and Double Nickel(IMO The best steakhouse in Lubbock) but at more reasonable prices. For bang for the buck, this place rocks. Texas Roadhouse is pretty good too. But if you want to take a date to a "nice" steakhouse, try Double Nickel or Las Brisas. read more

Pros: the restaurant has a great atmosphere on a good size of land. They have a barn outside that has a bar and live music so you have entertainment while you wait. Cons: We called earlier in the day and made a reservation for dinner. We were told they wouldn't take reservations during the busy part of the evening but we could have a reservation for 8PM. We had 7 people in our group. When we got to the restaurant they didn't have our table ready, which was okay considering they had the barn and we weren't in a huge rush. We sat in the barn for about 30 minutes until our table was ready. After being seated and getting our drinks it took the waitress 10 minutes to come back to the table to order. Once our order was put in it took another hour to get our food. Our orders were all BBQ and catfish so I know it was all already made and just needing to be put on a plate. There was another large table that was seated after us that received their food and finished eating before our food was delivered. Overall, the service was terrible. The food was average. Nothing stood out. The catfish was tiny little pieces (probably because it was the last bit of crumbs they had left in the kitchen). read more

Best steaks ever! Great service and great atmosphere! Worth the wait! Will definitely come back next time we are in Lubbock!

Cagle's is kitchy, but hey- it's Texas! The place is family run and beloved by many in Lubbock for good reason. You'll want to order the STEAK- don't bother going if you are on a budget or on a diet. Initially nervous about ordering the 9 oz ribeye and having it cooked properly (my husband and I usually split a thick steak), I was delighted when it was indeed cooked medium rare. Their seasoning is fantastic, service very good, and the accompaniments pretty standard. Just a few wines by the bottle but they are very reasonably priced. I'll look forward to eating at Cagle's the next time I visit Lubbock! read more

The atmosphere was what I expected. It is good for groups but you can't sit in a booth. They only have booths for 4. The cornbread and rolls were hard and we were served butter in a small paper cup for 5 people?. The med rare ribeye was one of the best ive ever eaten read more

This was the best steak I have ever had! The ribeye was cooked to perfection, was very tender, and was seasoned beautifully. The service for our large party was fantastic, we had such a great time! If I am every back in Lubbock I'll be sure to eat at Cagles again. read more

We have been eating here for years and enjoy it most of the time. Tonight was much different. We had a 8oz filet. This was the worst filet I have ever eaten. It was pieces of meat put together, wrapped in bacon and held together with a tooth pick. To add insult to injury it was over cooked. The cost of one steak with only one side item is $30.00. Shame on you cagle's. We talked to the manager and he didn't seem to care. Well, you have lost a long time customer. We won't be returning. read more

Ordered a steak to go without seasoning. They ended up putting some kind of hot pepper on the steak. The steak was inedible. Called the owner. He just brushed me off. He did not try to make it up to me. He denied that his cook could make a mistake. Never going back there. What happened to the customer is always wright. read more

My fiancé and I have been wanting to move to Lubbock for some time and we were in town for a job interview. Had this place recommended to us and did not disappoint! Great food, super friendly staff, and our server Brenna was awesome! read more

Fantastic food and atmosphere. Gentle service. Full of people. I use to go there for many years.

While the set up and ambiance is neat, and the fried appetizers are just as good as any, I was really disappointed in the steaks here. They are definitely large portions, but lack the flavor you expect from a ribeye. The would save a lot by cutting down on portions and focusing on cooking their food better. This is such a charming little place that it seems such a waste to serve so much food at a mediocre quality. read more

I booked my graduation event at cagle steaks graduation buffet. I bought tickets for $17 each expecting a buffet for 9 ppl. When we got our food we were told that it wasn't a buffet, but that it was buffet style. I checked the website and it stated that it was buffet. For the portions that we received Im greatly dissapointed i paid 17 a person for what we received. The ribeye was ok but the potato salad and coleslaw was terrible. I'll never recommend this restaurant to anyone. So sad that I was dissapointed. read more

I love this place even though it is pretty pricey. But it is probably my favorite steak place in Lubbock. The steaks have always been cooked perfect for me every time I have gone. The one down fall to this place is how close some of the seats are. You can hardly move without hitting the person sitting behind you. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend this place. The atmosphere is pretty neat too along with a little gift shop to browse through. read more

Visited for 1st time. Great dining experience! Mr. & Mrs. Cagle visited with us at our table and were very welcoming. The breads were warm. The steaks were excellent, flavorful and cooked to perfection. The sides were also delicious. We'll definitely return! read more

The steaks where awesome and the burgers were great too. This was on a recommendation from a friend to eat here. It's a little pricey but worth the splurge. One of the best steaks I've ever had. I recommend this place! read more

I'm from TN, so when in TX you have to get BBQ or steak. I decided to get some brisket and ribs. Sort of wish I had gone with the steak. The brisket was dry and the ribs were not as good as hoped. The French fries and pinto beans were fantastic. And I can't say enough about how well the service was. But just disappointed in the BBQ. I'll give the place another try if I am back in the area and stick with what they apparently specialize in....steaks. read more

My Friend and I took a road trip (3 1/2 hrs) to Lubbock Tx . to Cagle steaks for their Good Character seasoning. While we were there we ate the best steak in Texas. If you are ever in Lubbock be sure to eat a Cagle Steaks you will not regret. read more
