If I had to summarize this place, it would have been Applebee's quality food at higher prices. We ordered the prime rib and French dip. Both were incredibly dry, as if the food was not made fresh. The french dip tasted bland, with very little flavor. It was a decent sized portion, but not a huge fan of the bread either. My 3 year old had 3 slices of pickle on one of the salad bar plates and apparently the general manager is a stickler about that. So they had to charge us for an extra salad bar. The salad bar had a great selection and we ended up getting that instead of one of the kids plates. The salad bar also had soup and desserts. read more

Went for lunch as was craving prime rib. No specials for lunch for that but it was excellent! Ordered the green chili wonton but it wasn't spicy at ALL. probably due to cream cheese and pepper.. that was disappointing.. get the salad bar instead as it was cheaper too. Must say the prime rib however was cooked and seasoned brilliantly. read more

We are familiar with this chain and it's usually good. Always a great salad bar. Tonight, however, the entire restaurant reeked of raw fish. Our waiter was apparently new and not very proficient. He spoke without moving his lips and mumbled. We gave up trying to understand him. My husbands beer was delivered without the cold glass he requested. My G&T was delivered without extra lime as requested. We waited for both requests to be filled. The food was okay but not great. We ate quickly and left due to the odor of raw fish. Not the top notch dinner I expected from them. read more

Entered at 1600 and sat immediately. They already have a decent sized crowd. The waiter was with us shortly and brought waters. The interior decor is southwest style. Casual. They are out of rotisserie chicken. But then when we ordered prime rib medium, they were out of it. Had medium well left. Understood. It could be finished on the grill though. Sweet potato was good. Asparagus was good. Not great. Overall average. I was hesitant to add this, but after a different waiter talked the same way to the table next to us, I figured it may not be us. But the waiters have an undertone of condescending. So maybe toxic management. Or just an oversight on their part. read more

I ordered the steak and it was cooked to perfection and well as my sweet potato fries. The service was decent as well for how busy it was when I attend. I love the ranch style setting. Very welcoming. read more

Great old style statehouse that still offers the all you can eat salad bar. Steaks are cooked to perfection, great beer and even at 8:00pm the salad bar still was fresh and fully stocked! Highly recommend these guys if you're looking for an amazing steak dinner! read more

We always enjoy Cattle Baron restaurant. The setting is very comfortable and clean. They have truly amazing salad bar that is always stocked and extremely fresh. We ordered the filet mignon and prime rib and enjoyed every bite. Omar our waiter was professional and very friendly (as always). I highly recommend. read more

Heard from folks that this place had a great salad bar and I was really craving a salad. Decided to stop in for lunch on my way to the airport. I was by myself and got sat in the bar area which had only the bartender to wait on all the tables, and he did get quite a few of them. Must have been trying to wait on 8+ tables at a time which meant that service was a bit slower than desired. Nice part is he was really hustling, so can't fault him at all for it. I was torn between the prime rib entree with a salad bar addition, and just the salad bar. I eventually settled for just the salad bar and I am glad that I did. There was a pretty good selection of toppings and a good selection of dressings. Good news is they have bacon bits, which I am a glutton for. I loaded up my plate to overflowing with a salad with lots of fixings and headed back to my table. Veggies were decently fresh, taste was good overall. Bartender kept refilling my drink when it got low. Decent experience for me, but I can't comment on any of the meat/entrees. There was a couple of soup options included, but I didn't try them either. I will say that the bread was fairly lackluster, but that just means that I didn't fill up on it. There are cheaper options available, but not with the selection. If I am in the area again, it would be a toss up whether I went here again. read more

My favorite steakhouse to eat at. It's been years since I've been here. The food was just okay. But back in the day 2004. This was the spot to get a nice margarita and a delicious ribeye steak. read more

Ribeye - 3 Salad bar - 5 Service - 4 The ordered the ribeye steak and it was cooked to my mid-rare liking, but the flavor was not there. I even topped it of with butter and it was just okay. The mashed potatoes were bland. As far as the salad bar goes it's too notch. The tortilla chicken soup was great and salads were fresh. Service was just right. read more

We made a reservation here over the phone and spoke with the manager. She took our reservation and even confirmed the time and today's date (12-11-2023). Our entire group got dressed up and we paid for transportation to the restaurant. As we we're approaching, she comes out and tells us that the restaurant is closed for repairs. We mentioned that we made a reservation and she responds by saying "oh yeah, I remember talking to you.." like WTF? No call, no mention of any of this. You're wasting our time and money due to your lack of customer service and attention to details...more specifically, details regarding you accepting reservations while your establishment is non-op. read more

Shrimp scampi is pretty darn good. Overall, I think they are slightly overpriced. For a meal with just a salad bar, it was $12.95. With a piece of chicken breast it is $18.95. I think it's overpriced. But it is fresh. I'll give them that. read more

Service was good. Had the 10z ribeye with mushroom mash. Steak was tender but not hot. Still a recommend to try out. Decor was okay but nothing spectacular. Nice place to have a convo while you eat. read more

It's a Cattle Baron. Avoid the salad bar around lunchtime, it's packed! Always enjoy the trout.

I thought about going to the salad bar but opted for the lunch deal instead. I had catfish and a baked potato for lunch. The fish was fine but the butter for the potato was horrible. So this made eating the bread and butter so so as well. I'm not sure what butter they provide but it needs to be changed out. Yes, people are trying to eat healthier but bad butter is bad no matter how much you try to make it. So this review will just get 3 stars since I have eatern here before. But the butter they provide has got to go. read more

I absolutely loved my dinner here. It's a throwback to the great restaurants of the 80s/90s but in the best way possible--think Steak and Ale. Who doesn't love a good salad bar? Sat at the bar and the bartender had been with the company for over 20 years and it showed. He was one of the best servers I've ever had. Wish I would have got his name.... but you will know who I am talking back as soon as you sit down. Well done El Paso... read more

The cattle baron did not disappoint. From the moment you walk in you are greater with smiles and a warm welcome. Had my dinner at the bar sense I was by myself. The bar tender was busy yet still very attentive. Joe service was amazing. When I got my food I thought this food looks great. Well folks let me tell you that this food tasted better then even the picture. It tasted like a slice of heaven and guess what this new York strip does not break the bank. If you want good food, good service and a great environment you won't go anywhere else read more

It was surprisingly really nice here. It was also my first time at Cattle Baron. I was craving a steak, and we saw this place on the drive home. I'm glad we went here because it was worth it. I got the ribeye with mashed potatoes and cleaned the plate (don't judge me). My roomie got the steak and mashed potatoes with asparagus. The bread was really good too. Our waiter was super nice and attentive but not overbearing. We were not dressed fancy at all either. We were on our way back from a running event on a lazy Sunday afternoon that we didn't do and stopped here. It was worth the stop. read more

I eat here once a year when I am in town for business. It's just a well run establishment with great employees and kind of a hokey, down-home feel inside. I will come.back always. read more

Excellent experience! I ordered prime rib which was juicy with not too much fat. The salad bar was excellent with a large selection. Everything appeared fresh and surprisingly they have gloves to use with the utensils. Our service and server were great! This location appears clean and well kept -- it's sort of a hidden find near the airport. read more

Conveniently located across the street from the hotel. Great location. Great service. Great salad bar. Mediocre steaks. We had debated making the drive out to Cattleman's in Fabens but chose the path of convenience. Unfortunate. So wish we had opted for the drive. Everyone in our party who did NOT order beef raved about their dish. Apparently the pork chops, fried shrimp, rotisserie chicken, and salmon are all awesome. It's a steak house. So...Where's the beef? Prime rib was cooked to a perfect medium rare. It was tough and exceptionally flavorless. Similar results according to my carnivorous table mates with the filet mignon, rib eye, and NY strip. All cooked perfectly to order but bland and tough. Unfortunate. Next time someone tries to talk me out of the drive to Cattleman's...I'm leaving their ass in the hotel lobby. read more

I actually enjoyed dining here with my family. My mother in law told us that this place had a pretty good salad bar and they really did. Tons of options, nothing fancy but lots of options none the less. Michael was a wonderful server, very friendly, and checked back often to see how things were and make sure beverages were filled. It was nice to walk in and have the same great service from the time we walked in to the time we left. The ladies at the hosteSs desk were super nice, even played a bit with my daughter while we were waiting for our table. The place does look a bit dated possible the same it's always been since opening. Could use a little updating but for the most part no complaints. Bread was tasty and fresh and everything at the salad bar was fresh and delicious. read more

Recently placed an order to go for Shrimp Scampi, received the meal was shocked at the size it was as though it was the serving size of leftovers. Shock is the word. I've eaten at this year's ago. To charge these prices and receive something less than the size of a kids meal is a insult. Server was great the only shining part of the experience. read more

Cattle Baron - Steakhouses Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I'll start by saying they do close a little early. We tried coming after a movie a week prior, just after 9pm and they were already closed. But we tried again, and I'm so glad we did! The atmosphere is a more quiet, old western feel than a lot of the "trendy" steak houses, but I think that's nice. Especially since the service is great and the food is exceptional! My husband and I started with the salad bar- the very delicious salad bar! There are so many choices of fresh salad toppings, and dressings, as well as pre-made salads (obviously house made, as the flavors are fresh and unique), also 2 house made soups. The salad bar alone is enough to draw me back! (Sorry my pics are a little blurry on those) They brought out a huge, delicious loaf of homemade bread. It was so light and fluffy, and everything that homemade bread should be! So good!!! I ordered the bacon wrapped filet mignon, cooked medium. It was perfect with the degree of doneness. Every bite was melt in your mouth!! I had the sweet potato for the side, which was topped with a cinnamon butter, that in my opinion made it a little too sweet, so next time I think I'll just request plain butter. I also asked for the mushrooms on the side, and they brought out an entire pan full of mushrooms! They were cooked in butterry goodness. My husband had the largest ribeye with the whiskey-pepper glaze upgrade. Also cooked to a true medium. The upgrade was definitely worth it- very tasty! We finished off with the pecan pie. It came out warm and, well, there are no words other than "Go to Cattle Baron!" We will be back! Thank you read more

Wasn't impressed with the Medium prime rib. Came out more rare than anything. The apps were good and the atmosphere was solid but I would have expected a better steak from a Texas steakhouse in Texas. read more

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! It looks like a well kept average steakhouse from the outside, and when you walk in. Then, I turned the corner and saw the salad bar! Woah! Its HUGE, and everything in it is great...I know, I tried it all The steak I had was perfect! I had the baked sweet potato too with cinnamon butter. It was good. The bread they serve is reminiscent of ciabatta, and was also very good! This bread would be great sopping up stews, soups, and chili! Service was spot on, timely and friendly. Jon, our server, was fun and quick witted, which added to the enjoyment of dinner! read more

By far Best Salad Bar in El Paso, the steaks are good but I do know a few other steak houses in the area which steaks are tastier for the same price. Great location and atmosphere. Caring costumer service but I do wish that they would quicker take your used plates off the table. The salad bar consists of a fresh and wide variety of salads, salad items, dressings, a couple of soup varieties and dessert like items such as fruit, mousse and pudding. On Sunday one of the soups is posole. Apparently if you only pay for the salad bar included you may request grilled chicken. read more

Spent a week in the area and enjoyed dinner at Cattle Baron in El Paso. The food, service, and staff are awesome. Everything was excellent. Best of all on February 24, 2023 had the best service ever from Deja. She is absolutely awesome, friendly and made everything superb! Salad bar and entrees are awesome! AWESOME job and will be back!!! read more

Good food and service. Great lunch spot. Will have to try the bar for happy hour later.....

Ambiance is cozy and service is good. After that, things go downhill. I got the prime rib - meh. There was no deep beefy flavor that I expect from a steakhouse. My partner's sirloin was okay - mainly because it was covered in a flavored sauce. The salad bar is from the 1980's - standard lettuce, tomato, couple of veggies, croutons, etc... The dressings did not look homemade - with the possible exception of the spicy ranch. The posole was blah and the desserts looked like pudding from a Jell-o box. Oh well.... read more

I love this place ! Total cozy vibes inside. Reminded us a lot of being out in Ruidoso New Mexico. I love that they had disposable gloves at the salad bar for you to use. They also have hand sanitizer and they require the mask at the salad bar. The menu has a nice variety of options ranging from chicken to seafood steak salad and soups. The salad bar is a wonderful experience. The soups are delicious and to die for. If you get a chance try the green chili corn chowder the corn is cooked to perfection. The salad bar also has pastas, desserts, and plenty of toppings for a wonderful salad creation. I ordered the prime rib I originally had it medium but ended up getting it more on the medium well side which was still amazing and juicy. I ordered a side of the horseradish cream which was amazing. My husband ordered the All American cheeseburger which was a beautiful nice size and very juicy burger. The french fries all I have to say is that's what you call a french fry. read more

Went here today, it was pretty good compared to the reviews. We had the prime rib and it was tasty. Their salad bar with soup and cold pasta was good. Service was friendly and the place seemed pretty clean i enjoyed it i would recommend it to anyone. read more

Outstanding salad bar, highly recommended. That said, very disappointed in the prime rib which arrived with a slightly sour smell and a borderline rancid flavor. This is a shame as we had prime rib on our previous visit and it was excellent. Issue was brought up to the waiter who claims that he had "spoken" to the manager, but who apparently couldn't be bothered. Paid and left. Not sure if we will return for the salad bar, but will definitely NOT order prime rib again. read more

Now this was delicious with great flavor. Went with group of friends so I tried some of their food too. Definitely recommend trying the wontons! They also have a salad bar too. read more

For the price in the location this was a good choice. Opt for salad bar because it's just as good as the steaks.
