The management at this place is horrible. Even the waitresses waiters that I watched didn't interact with him well. The food is good, but I'll doubt that later. Going to this place again. read more

I have been going to Cattlemens for over 12 years. This was my first time going back since Covid and I can say with great certainty that I will not be returning anytime in the foreseeable future. For starters there was disappointment all around. The cleanliness of the restaurant itself was sub par; the utensils, the glasses, the plates, and the bathrooms were all needing some TLC. I took my family and my uncle from out of state and spent a little over $200 on dinner. Everyone had a different issue or concern with their food. I ordered the Ribeye dinner. The sides that come with all their meals were the best part of that night. The sourdough bread was collectively the best tasting part of everyones meal. Salad was average. I ordered my ribeye medium. It came out medium rare at best. The center of the meat was rare. The ribeye itself was extremely fatty. I had to cut away at least a 1/4 of the steak. I didn't even bother asking them to cook it more because our server was MIA most of the night. Please don't waste your time, or your hard earned money on a sub par establishment. Management needs to get a grasp on it and fix some problems. Quality control is not there. read more

Cattlemens has really gone down hill. We always went to cattlemens since I was a young boy and it was good. Now it's really bad the meat is very poor quality and tastes weird like chemicals. The ribs are pretty good and the chicken wings and the potato wedges are pretty good. read more

Love coming here to have dinner with my family! My go to is always "the sheriff" meal. Service and ambiance is amazing always .

The service was good, but who ever is running the kitchen should take a hard look at what is going on. Our dishes were dirty from the moment we sat down. I don't belive I've ever returned my dishes and cutlery at the same time other than a spoon or fork here and there and even that is unusual. When our new dishes were brought out those were also dirty and our cutlery still had some pieces of lettuce stuck to it. We tried their loaded potato soup and it was cold and bland, the steaks were luke warm and the sweet potato was ok. The whole experience was a huge disappointment. If you have the time and are curious to try other places out, please do that instead. The food and experience at this place is NOT worth the wait. read more

I moved to Fresno in 1999 and one of the first steak houses I was told I "have to try" was Cattlemen's. Almost 25 years later I finally tried it. I'll never go back. To celebrate my Father in Law's birthday, we went to the restaurant. I was told it being my first time there was a bigger occasion than the birthday itself. Boy were they wrong. The food was cold and the steak was shoe leather (I ordered it medium.) I also ordered a steak topper, sage butter, and halfway through trying to cut my steak I realized it wasn't on the steak. When I mentioned my steak cooked to the wrong temp, the response I got from the server was "well it's a smaller cut (I ordered the sirloin and shrimp) and cooking to medium is very hard to do. Umm, no, no it's not. I've been to plenty of high end steakhouses and theirs are cooked perfectly. I wanted to give the server the benefit of the doubt, but it was just so hard. He did end up taking the steak portion of my dinner off, I think that was fair though I know that most places would have simply removed the entire meal off bill, but had to be reminded that the sage butter should be removed as well. Weird that wasn't an obvious thought on his part (I served for almost 15 years in a couple high end restaurants, so that's why I'm thinking the way I am.) The atmosphere of the place is very old, though I'm told that adds to the prestige of its longevity. My wife and her family apologized so many times that after waiting so long this was the experience I had. I do find it interesting that not one time did my server utter the words "I'm sorry" about my experience. To clarify, there were six of us and only three thoroughly enjoyed their meals. The other 2 also had problem with their steaks, but come from a different generation where they don't complain. And here's where the disconnect is- that meal was $196 before tax. The cost of the three of us who didn't enjoy our meals was almost $90 and I'm not sure when times changed but to pay $90 for three terrible meals at a restaurant that has such a strong standing in the community didn't sit right with me. Now, if I was alone, or even just with my family, I would have asked to speak with a manager, but since there were other people who were giving me a hard time about it I decided to just pay and be done. I'm hoping this review helps others. I hope read more

Went on valentines with my girlfriend. Got an appetizer and some drinks (barely touched our second round of drinks) then proceeded to wait a hour and a half before the food even came out. The family of four that got there after us got their food, ate, paid and left before we even got ours. The fried onion appetizer was good but it hurt our stomachs. We were offered bread three times after our initial first basket, the first time we said yes and never got it then the last two times we said no because we assumed the food was coming and we didn't wanna get to full. We ended up just taking the food to go. They compensated my burger but I still paid over 100 dollars to just sit in a tiny uncomfortable booth. The food was alright once we got home and ate but I was starving at that point so I just ate it. Really unfortunate because this was one of my girlfriends favorite places and she was super excited to show me. read more

The food the service and the ambience is good can be a little dirty at times, but I have noticed that there are nights where they are shortstaffed which problems can occur. There have been a few times where our orders have been messed up switched around or other tables have been served faster than ours, but I will say that I do always go with a big party. I'm never disappointed with ordering drinks from the bar. The bartenders know what they're doing and the food is usually very good but if someone asks for a well-done steak, that doesn't mean to be a smart ass and burn it, there's a difference between being burnt and being well done well done still has lots of juice. They can also work on keeping the outside area and parking lot and bathrooms a lot more cleaner other than that there's not really any complaints. If you want a good steak you'll get it here. When the cooks are On-point, the food comes out great fresh and still sizzling. I'm just very picky when it comes to cleanliness so that's why I gave it three stars. If it was a review on food alone it would've gotten 4 to 4 1/2 stars. read more

I always have a great steak, potato and vegetables. The service is always superb and I love the cowboy ambiance. During the Christmas season it is sometimes hard to get in with all the Christmas parties but kn this night we got a table right away. read more

Have been coming here for about 35 yrs! For sure, on my bday in July and our wedding anniversary in December. Have always had a great meal and service! Just, visited this last weekend Aug 2, 2025 - Johnny was our server and couldn't have asked for better service! There were 5 in our party and everyone said their meal was excellent including mine! Thank you, Cattlemen's for all these years of terrific meals and service! We'll be back soon!!! read more

As busy as it was still felt intimate. Service was terrific! The FOOD, omg the food! I'm very specific about my steak- "black & blue". When I ordered it the server was too cute... he asked me "are you really serious"! lol. It was cooked to perfection!!!! Well done Cattlemen's. Well done!!! read more

The service was incredible thanks to Johnny at Selma Cattlemens! So helpful, quick, well spoken and knowledgeable! Overall great experience!

(During Covid) I really liked this place. Drove a little to get here, but it was well worth it. Had to wait a little for our table. There is a person in front of the restaurant taking down guests' names. Stuck with the time they gave us which was good. Endless salad and bread was a plus. We did the 3 lb and the prime rib. The only thing was they overcooked my meat a little. Other than that, wait staff and hostess were both nice. Waitress was very attentive. read more

Sadly this steakhouse has been very good in the past, but now is a solid NO! Server brought out one appetizer with our main courses, the other one was 5-10 minutes later. Who does that? My ribeye was tough and flavorless, not at all what I've experienced in the past. I get better ribeyes at Save-mart, like way better. Also the mains and sides were not seasoned, very bland. Both appetizers were good, too bad we didn't have the opportunity to enjoy them as such. Hope they make some serious changes or they will be another former restaurant that has to close their doors. read more

My in-laws love coming here but honestly it's hit or miss. I think it's because they are so busy. Love the salad, appetizers & steak but the prime rib is either over, under or dry. The waitresses & servers are always great. read more

Foos was spot on! Hubby and I shared the 2 for 1 meal and had the onion straws, the steak and shrimp scampi, and apple desert. Service was spot on, until Angel G forgot about my moms birthday and she didn't get a song or desert. We reminded him twice, but we struck out. read more

First timer here! Service: Justin was an awesome server! He took care of our tables so well and made sure our drinks were always refilled before our last sip! Took away empty plates on time and was always checking on us. Highly recommend Justin for great service! Food: It seems like everyone comes here for steak. So my table ordered a bit of everything. T-bone steak was good, sirloin was good as well, but I've got to say, the prime rib was the one! So much flavor and comes with au jus. I have heard in the past that the prime rib is a hit or miss but when I came, it was cooked perfectly for a Saturday night dinner. My tip would be to reserve a table ahead of time to get quickly seated because the lobby was full of waiting customers. read more

This was my first time at Cattlemens. I have lived in the Central Valley for 8 years and have tried a variety of restaurants. This was a top contender for the best dining experience. Every bite made me excited for the next. We started with the bread and salad with blue cheese dressing. I was blown away with the flavor. Most blue cheese dressings taste like ranch with the crumbles added. This was homemade and fresh. The salad greens were high quality and crisp. Warm sourdough bread with butter was served with the salad. It elevated our first course. For an appetizer, we ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the chipotle lime butter sauce was a welcomed addition to my palate. The entree was the 8oz. sirloin cooked rare with a loaded baked potato on the side. The flavor of the steak was exceptional. It was one of the most delicious cuts of meat I have ever had. I was happy my favorite beer, Cali Squeeze , was available on tap. It was garnished with orange slices and was a great accompaniment to our meal. To top off our experience, our sever Justin went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. He made excellent recommendations and followed up regularly. We will definitely be returning and look forward to another top notch experience. Thank you, Cattlemens! read more

My husband and I had reservations for 6pm on Saturday night (Dec 14). We were seated pretty quickly on a very busy night. It had been a little over a year since our last visit, which didn't go well, and I was nervous about trying it again. Turns out, I had nothing to worry about. Everything was great! From being seated quickly, to our server and the food. I wish I could remember our servers name, he was very nice and attentive. Anyway, I didn't leave a glowing review last year, but I feel if I'm going to tell them when they do something wrong, it's equally important to tell them when they do something right. We had a very nice dining experience that night and look forward to going back. read more

Cattlemens for my belated birthday dinner. My dinner guest and I had the Original Steak Dinner for Two. We had salad without onions and croutons. We also had the artichoke cheese dip. Which is always amazing. Definitely on my top 5 list for favorite dips. Even though it came out after our dinners did. We both had the 14oz rib eye with broccoli. It was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. And for dessert we had cheesecake and they brought me a scoop of ice cream for my bday. Needless to say.... cheesecake had to go in a togo box. The service was ok but we had to ask for everything. But overall great meal. read more

This is a great steakhouse to bring the family to, they have delicious baked beans, steaks and lobster tails! The dining area is a nice take on the rustic design, it's like dining in a large cabin. You can watch sports in the bar section that includes tables for dining as well. The staff is great we are always greeted right away, and are sorted and checked on frequently. read more

Great prices amazing bread and great quality! I will definitely be back again and bring more people:)

Food is great, you can never go wrong...just like many other places we all try to enjoy, many places are under staffed so waiting is a bit annoying but the service with a smile continues...at dinner time there was seating available but still felt like a full house, but not to loud...still great restaurant read more

The food is good but having 4 to 5 workers in the front doing nothing but talking and joking around with each other when people are waiting is definitely not a good look that should be addressed this is a professional restaurant. And I get home and you guys forgot the salad. read more

I just had the worse service that I have had at a resturant. We went in and sat at a bar table. A gentelman named Johnny came over to serve us and had an attitude from the beginning. He was no help and out right rude. When we stated that we decided not to order food and just wanted to pay for the soda. He said fine snd went and got the bill. When he came back with the $3.80 bill he was asked for a to go cup. He brings back a child's cup and was still a little defensive. Asked for the manager, Manager came over and immediately took up for his employee. He stated that he was his best employee and what happened ? When I stated the service was horrible. He says, you haven't even ordered yet. At that point, I knew that I was wasting my time. As I was leaving Johnny was staring me down with a hostile look. The manager seen it and came over and said let's not be confrontational. read more

I'm only docking stars for the price.... My salmon dish was about half the size of most places where I buy salmon, and probably 20% more expensive. Most of my friends got the fillet and it was really pricey for the size also ... However, the service was great., and there were so many friendly people in there just having fun so it made it really enjoyable to be there! read more

Cattlemens is my go-to when I am craving meat. The portions are huge and always satisfy. The only issue I have is with consistency in how its cooked. Somtimes medium well is still a little red with blood. I usually need salt and pepper nearby as well. It's worth it though. The shrimp scampi is probably my favorite dish. The first time I tried it was due to a mistake but now I order it everytime I go. Service can vary depending on how busy it is. There have been a few times where I've waited nearly thirty minutes or more for food to arrive. Despite this, I keep coming back. Part of the reason is the manager, who is 5-stars awesome. He's helped me pull through some unexpected large gatherings. read more

Service and food were outstanding. We loved our server (I believe her name was Kendra). We hadn't been here in years and left extremely satisfied. We will definitely be back soon! read more

Made reservations for 6:30 p.m. for a group of 4. We arrived and were seated within 10 minutes. Our server came promptly and took our order. We got our salads and bread in a timely manner. We waited for over an hour for our food, and when our food finally came the potatoes were cold and our steaks were room temperature. I understand they were busy but there is no excuse for our food taking that long without an explanation. I asked to speak with the manager and he said there was no excuse. They comped two of our meals but at that point we were so over this place. Have been here before with a large party and everything was great, but I don't think we will be back after this. read more

One of the best steaks I've had. Don't have a picture but it was a great experience for a first timer.

We came here last Sunday to get a steak. The restaurants interior was old and dark. The servers were excellent and friendly. We ordered the special sirloin, prime rib, and ribeye. The sourdough bread and salad was pretty good. The prime rib and sirloin were pretty good. But the Ribeye was chewy and not great. Overall, this place needs a face lift but it is an ok steakhouse. read more

Food is always as requested, atmosphere is clean and organized. Team is always courteous, expeditious, and on fire!

We recently (June 2024) went to Cattleman's in Selma. I really enjoy going there. The sourdough bread is consistently fresh and flavorful (pretty much a must for a steak house-got to have fresh bread). The service is friendly. The atmosphere is alive (not dark and quiet, like a haunted house). The steaks are great. We r lucky to live close by. read more

Coming into establish we arrived 15 mins early to our reservation (2) and were passed by a party of 10. The Porterhouse steak came under cooked (asked for medium rare) while the steak Cesar salad came under cooked if not more than my porterhouse (asked for medium). Sent the steak back and got it back in the second pic. Garage. read more

Best place for steaks, reasonably price and service is amazing. This is my spot for steak that is done right. I was served by Illysa. Great ribs and steak and sides. Good food and fresh and taste like farm to table. I drive three hours from Los Angeles to get to this place and it's worth it. Wish they had a branch closer, but it's all good to do the drive to feel like in cattle country for the meal. read more

I haven't had this in a while, it's in a odd spot to eat at, it's a normal what you would think the name would be, food was okay, pricey, it was just a normal food. There's a few workers who need a raise for being so nice. It was a pretty clean but due to where it is located goes down a bit. read more
