I ordered the prime rib when it arrived I took a bite and it was ice cold. I told the waitress and she took the steak back they put it on the grill and returned the same steak I originally bit off of which was now well done and my original order was medium.Feel uneasy about how sanitary they are there how many other people ordered a steak that they put back on the grill after being touched and eating off of. read more

First impression is the STENCH of the bar. It has that stale/soured water smell....disgusting, I wouldn't order a mixed drink from that bar if someone paid me to drink it..... The entire floor of the restaurant is a greasy trip hazard. The entire establishment has an uncleanly feeling (bathrooms, tables, dust on bottles over the bar). This is obviously a 100% management problem and could be easily corrected with some pride and elbow grease. For Hobbs, NM they have a great salad bar and the steaks are good. I ordered the bacon wrapped jalapeño shrimp and it was awesome! The kids menu even has a good steak. Service is poor (typical Hobbs). Half the tables were vacant and it still took almost 30 minutes to get seated. I forgot to mention that my blonde headed son found a long black hair on his plate, and our larger salad plates arrived somewhat dirty. read more

it's a good steak, a great bacon burger with fried onion strings, and a fine prime rib.

Atmosphere is nice, wait staff is ok at best. Price for what you get is ridiculous. Steak was over cooked, I seriously think it would have been better if I cooked it in a microwave. read more

We were in town for the night and this place was suggested by our hotel. Our server was great. Very nice and attentive. The food wasn't as good. Tough steak and peppered terribly. Salad bar was ok. I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

The salad bar was huge and varied and the Ny strip was decent but..... The prices are high for what you get, the service was just ok and a gross thing happened while we were there. While at the salad bar we saw the worker cleaning it pick up a piece of garnish off the floor and put it back on the salad bar - ick! We spoke to a manager and she just said "he should know better". read more

I had the Teriyaki Kabob. I thought it sounded tasty. I was wrong the meat tasted funny and had a mealy texture. Would not recommend. It was to come on bed of rice. No rice. It also had no sauce on it as described all for a rather costly amount of sixteen dollars. read more

I must say the wait staff at CB are an odd mixture! The waitresses we have had have been very got to excellent. The waiters are on the other hand either pompous poofs getting in people's way or trying to learn their job and get to be like the ladies! So they are either very bad or good leaning to getting better. The noise level tonight about 7 PM was more what I would expect from a Sports Bar rather than a high end Steak House. It must have been a bad night for a lot of people because the a portion of clientele was abnormally rude! The quality of the steak was just ok and it was prepared to minimums of being Medium Rare. The steak was tough and not what I am accustomed to from this establishment. I was afraid of this it happened to so many eateries in the oil field. The ladies will work their tushes off trying to be the best there is, and many of the males are just not the same quality employee! read more

Coming to Hobbs, New Mexico every few months, this is one of my favorite places to get a good meal in a town where it's fast food everywhere, or poor services. Our food was very good and ordered exactly how we liked (at first). The drinks came very quick and the waitress was very helpful. Also, defiantly one of the best salad bars I've ever been to. But, we decided to take an order to-go and bring it to my aunt, but they forgot the gravy that our aunt really wanted, and shorted us a chicken tender. This was a shock because the service was great before. Nothing too big, they fixed the mess up before we left and all was good. Would for sure come back next time I visit. read more

We ate here last night with a large group. It was so good we came back for lunch today. Fabulous salad bar, friendly staff and great service. The green chili soup is delicious! read more

I'm new in town but I've been total "Cattle Baron" is THE STEAKHOUSE in town. Well,I describe it as a ramped up version of Ponderosa. (showing my age) no you don't order your steak while going through the line but that's just what it reminds me of. On the plus side (for them) we have been there several different days & times and it appears they are always busy! With a wait - we usually grab a seat in the bar so we can at least have a drink while we wait. The service leaves a little to be desired and I think it's just because they don't have enough staff, the servers always seem to be running around headless. The salad bar on the other hand gets 5 stars - nice selection of salads, 2-3 soups, 2 cheese blocks, and a nice array of salad fixins. I don't consider it a steak house but I do love the salad bar and chose to go there often because of it. Just wish it wasn't always packed at the door and a little faster/better service. I did have a patty melt on a Sunday afternoon and it was quite good - but how hard is a patty melt? - I was once there with a party of 8 and the server(male) was just a little too chatty for my liking, it was starting to become intrusive, there is a difference between cordial and nice and telling me your life story when I've never met you before. Most other visits it's been me plus one and the girls just run around and try to do their jobs. read more

Only come for the salad bar, ordered "top sirloin" (medium), received a flat steak completely over cooked. Sent back received another one that was (rare) which is way better than the burnt one but still not what I asked for when paying $18 for a steak. Definitely not a high end restaurant as they try to appear to be. More like the only place in town to buy a steak so people come. Cautious on what you order here. read more

Great food and great service.The place is also very clean and well maintained.Our server was also very nice.If you are looking for a good place to grab a bite,I would recommend this restaurant. read more

I'm just going to say bad food, I could have got a steak like that at Applebee's! Long wait at the door the buffet was good but I didn't come to a steakhouse for the buffet, very overpriced for the quality of food read more

Horrible experience.... I ordered the 16 0z prime rib mr and it came out mw. My server was very apologetic and got me a new one. It was dropped off by a manager, his name was Erin. He was very rude and almost seemed like he didn't care that we weren't having a very good experience. Because of his lack of caring in his words and body language I will never be back. read more

This is my favorite restaurant in Hobbs. The service is the best I've experienced in the city. Staff have always been polite and have been able to answer my questions about the ingredients used. The salad bar is what everyone seems to focus on, but I have really enjoyed their other menu items too. The steaks are delicious! The atmosphere is very nice, with a very Cowboy rugged type feel. It's the perfect place for my husband and I to have a date, or to bring the kids along and have a family meal. We love it! read more

One of the best cuts of prime rib.. Great Service to boot.. Very good food.. Thank you

Nice place to have a steak in Hobbs. Not much of a wine list, but the filet mignon I had was cooked to order. It was tender and tasty. The waitress made sure I it was done properly before moving to the next table. I would go back. read more

This place is by far one of the best restaurants in Hobbs nm the service is fast and the food is great never had problems here. Definitely recommend read more

For a Cattle Barron this one definitely needs some improving! The hostess was no where there was a line of people waiting to be seated. Waiter went very attentive and this was on a Tuesday night. I got the Alfredo pasta which was good. My fiance got the chickem fried steak and said it was just okay. The soup at the salad bar was a beef stew but had no beef. For the prices they need to step it up. A customer expects exceptional service and great tasting food at a restaurant like this. read more

Great steak, the salad bar was very fresh and plentyfull. Fast service and very attentive serving staff.

The salad bar is everything! My assistant and I ate lunch here twice this week...They also have soup of the day of the salad bar and it's good. I must admit I ate so much that I was stuffed. However, I was happy. The customer service was on point as well. read more

Worst experience. Waited mins before hostess even acknowledged us then instead of nicely attending us told us "to wait." Soup at salad bar was empty, after other customer asked if there was more to come, manager said "we will bring more in a few mins." Never came! Ribeye steak was one of the worst I've ever had. Absolutely no flavor whatsoever. Extremely disappointed!!! Totally not worth the price!!! No service and worst yet absolutely no FLAVOR!!! read more

Stopped in here tonight for some dinner. Found the place in yelp, read the reviews and gave it a try. I have to say that I waited a very short time, like maybe 2 minutes to be seated. I was addressed and had a drink in the way within moments of sitting down. I had the prime rib, it was very tender and tasty, I'd recommend it to my mom. I gave 4 stars and feel the place is very deserving of those stars. Try it and see for yourself!! read more

Had a great meal here after flying into town. Surprised to have been served fresh veggies that were not microwaved, previously frozen, or out of a can! Food came quick, service was great, value was good. Maybe next time I'll have room for the peach cobbler :-( read more

The best Steakhouse in Hobbs. The atmosphere and rugged cowboy theme is nice . Fire place was nice during December.

went there for a class trip, i got the alfredo and cheese sticks as my appetizer. the kids who ordered steak were complaining about how the steak was full of blood (yes i know that's stupid) but overall was really good!! read more

My husband and I came in for the first time since the rebuild. The place looks lovely. The salad bar is by far the best in town but still could offer more healthy options (a lot of heavily mayonnaise salads and sweets were half the bar). The prices on the steaks were beyond our budget so hubby got a burger which was very good. And I was able to order a healthy a la carte dinner...grilled chicken breast, baked sweet potato and asparagus. I was able to customize (ask for omissions, substitutions and condiments on the side) as needed for my needs. Our waitress provided great service and was very accommodating. I could not resist the fresh bread...it was very good and they are generous with the butter! We were too full to order dessert. Very happy and satisfied but we will reserve Cattle Baron for special occasions. read more

Alright so last year on my birthday I was turning 19 cuz this year I turned 20 and the service was good the waiters and waitresses were nice and forgot what I thought but like it was so good read more

I have to disagree with the reviews here...the Baron has always satisfied me, and I'm a steak lover. Great salad bar, love their prime rib, it's nicely kept and clean. The servers are friendly, however it is sometimes slow (it's usually very busy on weekend nights). But the food is very good, it's a nice atmosphere, and the price is actually better than Applebee's for what you get. read more

We ate here on a Friday night with 6 of our friends. The salad bar is a salad bar. The steaks were tough, and not prepared as ordered, our server was pleasant and polite though. We won't be going back, as our experience here, and the following night at the sister restaurant has soured us from the Cattle Baron chain forever. read more

Decent salad bar, with Steaks comparable to Chili's (maybe slightly worse) but yet more expensive than Salt Grass. Vegetables that came with my steak were not fresh. Did not like this place, cannot recommend. read more

Awesome food , great service , big huge salad bar with a great selection , my hubby had their chipotle beef stew , he would go there just for that, so great, steaks are wonderfully cooked perfect and the building is beautiful and decorated so nice read more

Food was overpriced and in all honesty, not very tasty. The salad bar was typical with basically opening cans of vegetables. Nothing special. And to top it off, the waitress was extremely rude and not attentive. Would not recommend this unless you are starving to be abused. read more

This resturant stinks,it has a foul obnoxious odor. The food is gross cold greasy potato skins,rubbery texture a teensy sprinkle of bacon bits and cheese substitute .catfish ponchatrain was mushy. Get a burrito off one of the local food trucks,much better read more

This busines is temporarily closed. The building has been razed and a local told me it would be rebuilt and reopened. Apparently there were structural deficiencies which could not be renovated. I ate here a few times previously and appreciated the quality salad bar and decent atmosphere. That said, I've only ate at one place in Hobbs which earned four stars, and this isn't it. read more

If I could give them no stars I would. Staff is very unfriendly, my Caesar salad was FROZEN on the bottom and the waitress told "oh it's because we have them on chilled plates" I refused another salad. They were advertising a Cabernet so I asked them for a glass and after taking about 20 min came back with "if you want that kind of wine you have to buy a bottle",,.. The potato skins were ok, I ordered the prime rib medium rare, the funny thing about it was that it was overcooked and cold lol. Any ways I was in Town visiting friends and family for two days, but I will never come here again if the opportunity arises. read more

Not worth it for the price - ribeye is dry and the side has nothing to rave on. Salad bar was actually a plus that made me gives out 2 stars. It has a pretty nice full bar with great selection of beer, though. read more

Don't get the garlic mashed potatoes, great remodel though, the place looks great! Service is ok but the steaks are ok but not worth the high price. There are better steak houses in Hobbs if you want good steaks read more

Too dark dinner came before app. Which was shrimp cocktail. It was freezer burned. And looked like little salad shrimp. Husband s steak hard. And chewy. Potato cold. And we went on a sunday morning. Before church got out. So you would think everything would be fresh. But was not. And who would pay 9.95for6salad shrimp? This was the third chance we gave this company. Will not do it again. Thanks.
