It's good food with a large variety. Steaks for my party of 8 came out at the same time so everyone got to eat together at the same time. All of it were cooked as wanted with one of my party members who is a yelp elite, wanting it well done (that savage). The server we had was super quick and professional, left us alone and came by as if she could read our minds when we were ready to order. Everything was kind of dark so the feel of the room was kind of like it was private despite all the tables around us. Overall, it was a good experience. Teriyaki Rating: 7.9/10 read more

Pros: Food was good, came out hot and fresh. Our waiter was so nice, but we saw he could only cater to one table at a time, multiple tables at once was clearly overwhelming for him. We saw another table waiting to be serviced by him as well. Multiple workers walked by and just eyed each table but never offered help to the poor guy, therefore a few tables grew impatient. Cons: Soon as we walked in we were told it was going to be a 20-30 minute wait, not a problem. We gave them our phone number to alert us when our table was ready, so we found an area at the bar and sat down and waited. 45 minutes passed someone from our party wanted to see how much longer it would be. When asked how much longer, the host said they "didn't have our number to contact us". (Didn't make sense because we gave it to them soon as they asked us to have a seat to wait) They didn't bother to call for us like they were calling other people waiting for a table, they didn't want to walk around to find our party either. When they finally sat us down at a table, we noticed majority of the restaurant was empty (literally only 6-8 tables). Took us about 10 minutes to just get water for everyone (We were a table of 5 btw). Took over 20 minutes to take our order, took almost 30 minutes to get our order. Waited 15 minutes to get to go boxes and the tab. We came in around 7pm left around 9:45ish just to give an estimate of how long we were there for. As someone who had came here several times as they were a kid, to come as an adult for a quick visit to reminisce, it was a disappointment to say the least. Maybe next time I would go to another location to see if the service gets better. read more

My gosh this place is the best! What have I been missing out on! Just one meal here and I'm a huge Fan now. Decked out western style theme, what a cool setting. Service was incredible and thoughtful and so kind The FOOD! The meat! The very big meat cuts! Goodness we are in heaven having a feast. Got the 2 lb sirloin and the rustler ribeye steak. Ribeye was a lot softer and easier to chew. Sirloin was tough. 2 lbs of meat - wow where else can you order such a massive piece of steak?! Even if you don't finish it, it was a ton of fun, just pack it to go Sides- Artichoke Sourdough bread and butter Baked potato with everything on it Beans Unlimited salad!!!!!!! I would love to come back and bring a big party for a celebration! My cowboy and I walked out of here super happy. Thanks for an incredible night in the Wild West read more

I came to Cattlemen's because my hotel had one of their ads and they were close. I wasn't in the mood for steak but I'd make do with something. At 505pm on a weekday, I was seated immediately with no wait and quickly greeted by an affable server (Molly). Throughout my stay she was attentive without being intrusive and the supporting service was efficient in the way good restaurants are. I got my drinks and breadstick right away, got my appetizer with a pause long enough to enjoy every bite and then my main...clearly they know what they're doing here. My order of Brussels sprouts were delicious; firm with some resistance and well seasoned. I ordered a Cesar salad with steak which was cooked to order...a very satisfying and filling meal. I love a restaurant that embodies their ethos! This is a steakhouse and in every way it shows. Ultimately, the food I ordered was great and if I'm in the area, I'll comeback with my friends and really enjoy the menu selection and service. read more

We came here on friday night after hitting the gym and arrived around 7pm. We specifically wanted to visit for the happy hour specials we've seen. It's mon-fri 4-10pm at the bar area. We honestly were pleasantly surprised at how many people were there. My bf took advantage of the $4 beer special, and I got two of the pendleton sour for $6. He originally wanted the prime rib sandwich for $10 but they were out...so we ended up with the pete's special steak. It felt a lot like prime rib. it also comes with a complimentary drink (beer). The rodeo burger was honestly pretty good, the fries had a good outer crispy texture. The pickle was soggy in a bad way. I think we'll be coming back more to try other items. read more

The food was good overall and price was affordable for what I ordered. Steak had good flavor and was tender with a good sear and tender middle part. I was not a huge fan of the fried onion strings, seemed as they were not freshly fried, in my opinion grilled onions or mushrooms would pair better. Potatoe skins with cheese and bacon were amazing. And cheeseburger was moist and flavorful. Hate to nitpick but service is what was lacking during my first time here. Took a while for us to be seated , greeted and our order taken. I'd still come back though and try again. read more

Came here with my family to celebrate my dad's birthday. While waiting for the rest of my party to arrive, I sat at the bar and ordered a drink. I noticed they had a pretty solid happy hour menu, so I went with a margarita and the lamb lollipops. The margarita was decent, but the lamb lollipops really stood out--very flavorful and tender. Our party arrived a bit earlier than our 7 PM reservation, but we were seated right away. We ordered three appetizers to share: mozzarella sticks, fried onions, and bacon-wrapped shrimp. Everyone enjoyed them, and they also brought out warm bread with butter, which was a nice touch. For our main courses, we ordered the Cowboy ribeyes and beef ribs. The portions were generous and easily shareable. The service was friendly and attentive throughout the evening. Overall, this is a solid spot to enjoy good steak in the Livermore area. read more

I've been here twice and am always happy with my meal. It's so delicious and service is always good. I love that they offer salad with your entree and it's always fresh! Cattle's man's is 1000% better than Texas Road House. They are also way priced decent for the serving sizes you get as well as the sides they offer. It tends to get busy so try to there early or call ahead. read more

Saw this place when driving to the hotel. Have eaten at other Cattlemen's and have great experiences. Decided to walk here. Ordered the small cut of prime rib. Salad came out quick, though it was blue cheese vs. ranch. Jade offered to replace it. Small cut looked sizable. Great that they get it sizzling right at the table. Great that they do military discounts. I'd come back again. read more

Cattlemens Livermore did not disappoint. Cody our waiter is awesome. Great suggestions from him, like adding sage butter steak topper $2 and mushrooms $6 that I didn't know about. Cody knew the list of light beers by memory. Very impressive. We had the 20 oz porterhouse $55, 8oz steak & lobster $49, 14oz rustler rib eye steak $40, grilled artichoke $12, tumbleweed onions $14, couple of Coors lights $6 each and a coke $4. Everything tasted great. We didn't have to wait long for the food to come out. Loved the western feel of the restaurant. Thank you for a great dinner Cattlemens Livermore. Exceptional job everyone. read more

Other than the long wait for our food, The service was outstanding, It wasn't the server's fault, it's just so busy.

Update for my last review; the last 2 occasions my bf and I have come to cattlemen's for dinner, they have been absolutely delightful thanks to our new favorite waitress Christine! She is a timely, efficient respectful server with the best jokes! Thank you very much Christine for being such a wonderful waitress. Given my last review, since that point I've noticed an influx of servers who are excellently suitable for cattlemen's busy nights!! The food is delicious as always (: read more

My wife and I were seated promptly, in the bar where we chose to sit (game was on there we wanted to watch). We ordered a mojito for her and a large iced milk for me. We went on to do the Original Steak Dinner for Two approach, a Tumbleweed, and two BBQ ribs with sweet potato, and shared an apple for dessert. The service From Nicole and her colleagues was spot on, friendly, prompt and attentive. The food was nicely done, no complaints but lots of compliments for the quality of the fare. It all hit the spot after a long day of traveling in from Ashland by way of Medford to SFO. My only observation for area of improvement would be the men's bathroom which looked like it could use a bit of attention (see picture). I give this experience a solid 4 out of 5. read more

A decent steakhouse where we had excellent service. Special shout out to our server, Benny C, who was phenomenal; warm and friendly demeanor, attentive, and helpful. I would also like to thank the staff for keeping my credit card safe after I left it behind to rush to a movie! While the service was 5/5, the food was 4/5. I ordered one of the beef & reef combos, the 8 oz. sirloin and steamed 1/2 lb. Dungeness crab. The crab was a bit dry for my liking. The steak was better, and I liked the baked potato with all the fixins. I also liked my blackberry lemonade (4/5). The bread and salad that come with the meal were fine. We sat in a comfortable booth. The ambiance of the restaurant fits the theme appropriately. It's a good place for groups and family dinners! Definitely recommend making a reservation. Thanks again to the Benny and the team for the wonderful service. read more

Love the filet and the ribs! We love coming here with the family! Quality meats. Lively ambiance and great service.

Good service and ambiance. Food is ok but support local businesses! I still need 85 characters to post this review? So here it is :-)

This place is amazing, randomly came across this restaurant and made reservation about a week before. The day of the reservation we were about 15 minutes late because of traffic, but there was no problem at all. They seated us at a really nice booth very quickly. We ordered the originally steak dinners for two and that was more than plenty of food for 2 people. The whole experience was fantastic. There were unlimited salad, bread, and sides. All the food came in order in a very reasonable pace. The waiter kept checking in with us and making sure we were doing ok. We had the artichoke cheese Dip, Prime rib, half rack pork ribs, and the deep fried apple pie. Nothing fancy, just classic steakhouse dining experience which was exactly what we were looking for. From the presentation of the food to the taste, it was spot on. We weren't even going to finish the desert but it was so good we ended finishing it all anyway. We left very happy and money well spent! read more

We went to the bar and they were understaffed and super busy. We waited about 15 minutes and decided to eat inside the restaurant vs the bar area. Scott was our waiter and he was so accommodating and friendly!! Everything tasted great from the salad to the prime rib (cooked perfectly!) to the baked potato (so yummy, got to get it fully loaded:). We were stuffed and very satisfied. Temp in the restaurant was slightly cold, but otherwise everything was great!! read more

My husband and I always look forward to dining at our local Cattlemens restaurant in Livermore, and a big part of that is our favorite server, Stacy. She consistently makes us feel like VIPs every time we sit in her section. Her friendly, upbeat, personality creates such a fun and welcoming atmosphere--It truly elevates the entire experience! The food is always delicious too. Our go-to favorites are the salmon and the cowboy or porterhouse steaks, which are cooked to perfection every time. And of course, the hot, fresh sourdough bread is always a highlight we can't seem to resist. Great service, great food, and a great experience all around--consistently. Thank you, Stacy, for always taking such good care of us! We highly recommend dining at Cattlemens! read more

Pleasantly surprised with the food and hospitality here. Shoutout to our server Anthony who took care of us and kept coming back to check on us, refill our drinks and bring us more bread and salad. We were a decent sized group and were probably there for well over 2.5 hrs and were not rushed at all. But most importantly the cook on the steaks were spot on. Thanks for a good time. read more

Came here after a long flight and my husband decided to treat me for a late birthday dinner. There was a 20 min wait but I didn't mind. I was just excited to eat since I've never been to this restaurant and I have not had steak in a while. We were seated at a booth, love that for us. And was immediately greeted by the server. Appetizers were amazing we had the crispy calamari and an artichoke dip with some chips. Both very good. We also had a salad with some balsamic dressing equally amazing. Our entrees were both prime ribs and were perfectly done to our liking. Im very pleased and will certainly be back. read more

Been going to Cattleman's since I was kid in 1968. Mama and Daddy would bring us on the way home from Tahoe. It's an old school memory for me and my family. I've been to all of them along the way. My experiences haven't always been consistent as an adult. I've given my share of feedback to managers over the years. Tonight I called the manager, Jeff, over because I wanted to give him some feedback. Often times managers hear the bad stuff but not the good experiences. I shared with him that my experience tonight was outstanding. The food was cooked perfectly. I get that not everyone can eat a 16 oz "Cattleman's Cut" prime rib, I'm not one of those. I like it "mooing" so more on the rare side. Many times though the food has been as good. This was just one of those times. What made the experience outstanding was the service. I made a reservation before getting here. Didn't need it because it was only 4:15 when I got here. The place was not as empty as the parking lot looked. That's not the case now almost 2 hours later. It's hopping. The host told me that I could go to the bar if I wanted to be seated immediately....or if I waited 5 minutes I could get a table in the main restaurant. I've done dinner there and enjoyed many Legendary margaritas in the bar when I lived in Livermore for almost 20 years. They were busy enough tonight that the one server who was on shift was running around...but another was going to be on shift soon and they would seat me so that I had a good experience. I'm glad I waited. I got Brittany. From the first interaction I could tell this was gonna be fun. It was. We shared stories about our tattoos...both of us have ink and stories behind them. Then I gave her my order. She was attentive and appropriately timely through the entire meal. I appreciate that very much. She made the experience outstanding. While I don't live in Livermore any longer, I stop at many of the restaurants I enjoy to avoid the Altamont traffic when I have to come through later in the day. Today was one of those. I'm glad I stopped. By the way I could have taken pictures of the food. That would have been too common. I hope you appreciate that I didn't do that, but did want to show how much I enjoyed the meal. read more

I came here for dinner with a party of three. We didn't have a reservation, but the wait was only 15 minutes. We were given the option to either wait or sit in the bar lounge, which wasn't just a bar, it also had tables and chairs, though no booths. Our server was very friendly and took the time to explain some menu options. Since there was only one bartender, she let us know that our drinks might take a little longer, but the order was in. A friend and I decided to share the "Dinner for Two," which included an appetizer, two entrees, and a dessert. I thought it was a great deal. Although we ordered our steaks well-done, they came out medium-well. It wasn't a big issue, so we decided to keep them. We also had a loaded baked potato as a side, and it was huge, definitely generous portions overall. Despite the restaurant being busy, our server frequently checked in on us and cleared away any empty plates. It was a pleasant experience, especially for my first visit, and I'm sure I'll return again. read more

Had dinner at Cattlemen's last night with my wife and honestly, Ben was one of the best servers we've had in a long time. The guy just noticed things. I was tearing through my water and instead of making me wait between refills, he brought me this big saloon glass so I could actually keep up with my thirst. My wife mentioned to me (not even to him) that she wasn't a fan of the croutons on her salad, and rather than just letting her pick them off, he brought out a completely fresh one without the croutons. That's the kind of attention most servers just don't have. We ordered the prime rib dinner for two and wow, it did not disappoint. The meat was tender, perfectly seasoned, and they gave us generous portions. When he checked on my steak though, he could tell it was a bit more done than the rare I'd asked for. Didn't make a big deal about it, just had them refire it and came back to let us know our mains would be a few extra minutes while he topped off our drinks. No hassle, no fuss. By the end we were both completely stuffed, and Ben was thoughtful enough to serve the ice cream separate from the pie so we could take the pie home for our daughter to enjoy. Those little touches really make the difference. Also have to mention Jeff, the manager of the day. He was making rounds to every table, introducing himself, checking if anyone needed anything, and even helping keep drinks filled. You don't see that level of hands-on management much anymore. Both of these guys made the night, and the food was excellent. We'll definitely be back. read more

First time eating at Cattlemens! Didn't know it was so close to home.. the place is nicely decorated, giving you a very vintage vibe, everything was cowboy themed. We came with a large group and each of us ordered something different. Most of us got steaks while the kids got burgers. We ordered: - Tumbleweed onion - 9oz trim cut - T-bone steak - Half rack Baby back rib pork - Porterhouse - "The Sheriff" - Pete's special All entrees come with unlimited salad and a side. For the salad dressing we could have ordered one of each dressing since we had so many entrees. We had requested one of the steaks to be no salt, but turns out they omitted salt on all steaks...lol not a huge deal since we just added table salt to our steak. other than that, the overall experience was good. Food came out quite slow (we thought appetizer would come sooner but it came with our entree). Service is ok, not the fastest I would say since it took us a while to get our meal and check. Towards the end, it took us so long to get the check that the families with kids left first because we couldn't find our server (your server needs to bring it to you-- seems like the host can't). Parking is easy but we all accidentally parked at the back of the restaurant instead of the front..! Not a big deal though, we were able to walk to the front from inside the restaurant. read more

We went to Cattlemen's in Livermore for dinner 2/15 and the food was delicious, but what stood out even more was the service. Our waiter, Scott, was amazing. We were dining with a toddler and an infant, so ordering took us a little longer than usual, but he was incredibly patient and accommodating the entire time. He was kind, attentive, and had such a great personality that it made the whole experience even better. Dining out with little ones can sometimes be stressful, but Scott made it easy and enjoyable for our family. Overall just a great kid and truly excellent service.

Went to Cattlemen's Steakhouse for a girls' night and was not impressed! I left still hungry for food, but full off the bread (THE BREAD IS SO GOOD) I ordered the porcini mushroom ravioli, only to be told 30 minutes after appetizers that they were out. I then ordered the salmon, which took a long time to arrive. When it finally came, I wasn't given any silverware and waited another 10 minutes. By then, the food was cold and not prepared to my liking, so I had to send it back without eating. Between the delays, lack of communication, and basic service issues, the experience fell well below expectations. read more
