I had previously looked up hotels and saw that Mandarin Beauty was recommended by someone. I love Asian food, so I decided to give it a try. Pulling up, I wasn't sure it was the right place. For some reason, the front reminded me of a Mexican place. Walking in, there was an adorable older woman seated at a table. I asked for a table for one and she just smiled. A pretty younger lady came out of the kitchen and indicated I could sit wherever. I was the only customer in the restaurant, late afternoon, on a Sunday. The menu was larger than I had anticipated. Many of the dishes were likely popular with American tastes. I didn't want anything too heavy, so I opted for a chicken rice noodle dish and some hot tea. I went to the restroom to wash my hands. The bathroom, like the rest of the restaurant, needs some help. It was clean, but a refresh would go far. Near the bathrooms and kitchen, there is a buffet station. It was larger than I expected. (Buffet is not available at dinner.) When I got back to my table, the tea and food were waiting for me. The portion size was bigger than I expected. The rice noodles were cooked just right, not overcooked. There were far more vegetables than I expected, which was a welcomed surprise. The chicken was tender, flavorful, and plentiful. I enjoyed every bite. I went to the pay and the total was a little less than $20. I only had two 20s, so I gave the pretty lady a $20 and asked for change, wanting to pay the bill with my other 20. She gave me the difference from the price of the bill and the 20. I giggled and gave her the other 20 and asked for change. Then, she realized what I was asking. Unfortunately, it seems that business had been slow, because I got a $5 and a bunch of dollar bills. I left the change from the bill and a nice tip. As I was leaving a truck pulled up. I hope they got some more customers that evening. I plan on returning on my next trip through!

Our only issue was that my wife ordered the Mongolian beef, which is her got to everywhere. It was so spicy hot none of us could eat it.

Between the rest of us there was still plenty of food to go around so we were all full and happy in the end.

The one place I was going to go to was closed, and this one popped up in my feed. So I thought I would go check it out. From the exterior, it looks like a very rustic steakhouse. Gravel parking, driveway, wooden walkway, and the extra of the building looks very rustic. When you open the door, you get a totally dark red neon steakhouse vibe. It's really cool and I love the wagon, wheels and other steakhouse accoutremont adorning the walls like brands, deer, horns, etc. This is where things go a little sideways. I sat there for at least 11 minutes before anyone came up to my table. Now granted it was Father's Day but looking around the restaurant it was not that crowded and there were multiple servers. So I'm really not sure what the problem was. The host up at the front saw me just sitting there at about 11 minutes in and came up and asked if I wanted some water while I waited and I told him I would also like an iced tea. About another 5 or 6 minutes later the iced tea was delivered by this waitress. Who gave me a look like I was the biggest annoyance in the world. The only thing missing was an eye roll and a sigh. I did not have high hopes for this meal. About another 5 minutes later she came back and asked if I had decided. I went with the beef short ribs cuz they sounded good, asked about the sides and went for the french fries and asked for them to be well done. And then she left. I finished my iced tea and was sitting around waiting for someone to come up and offer me a refill but that didn't happen too much later. Now mind you, as I said there were only a few tables in my section and I saw three servers. She finally came back and asked if I would like a dinner roll. I said sure. The waiting game began again. She came by a while later and asked if I'd like another tea which I did. In a few minutes later the tea showed up. The ribs finally got to the table at about 6:34 p.m. so I've been there for over a half hour at this point. The fries were hot, but definitely not well done. The ribs were actually pretty tasty, they were juicy and had a good amount of char on them. Plus it came with a side of vegetables and the vegetables were slightly Al dente which I like. Honestly, I did not see my waitress again until the end of the meal. When I was clearly finished and asked how I was doing. I said I would like the check. I expected to wait another 10 minutes or so for that, but she was on top of getting the check to me. So I paid my bill and left. I am torn on this because the food was was good, the ambiance was off the chart but the service was severely lacking. Now I don't know how many other chores she had to do back there, but taking care of guests seem to be low on the totem pole. There was a guy across from me in a booth and I could tell he was experiencing the same thing. Bottom line? I don't know if I'll ever come through this town again, but if I do I'm probably going to try a different place for barbecue. Barbecue. Sad, cuz this place would be a total five star if they could get the service up to snuff.

We reveled in the rich, delicious butter chicken, creamy chicken korma, warm garlic naan and roti, and our mango lassi's that were so refreshing it felt like a sunny hug in a glass. Every bite was so perfectly spiced that some of us broke into our own Bollywood dances right at the table. It's that good.

Located next to a gas station, we honestly didn't know what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant was incredibly clean, spacious, and welcoming. We spotted the sign around lunchtime, planning to grab a quick bite, but ended up spending over an hour enjoying a fantastic meal. Sometimes I wonder why more restaurants in the city aren't like this! We ordered chole bhature, mango lassi, sweet lassi, paneer curry, and garlic naan. Everything was freshly made, packed with flavor, and honestly some of the best Indian food we've had in a long time. The service was quick and friendly. You'll notice plenty of truck drivers stopping by, which is usually a great sign that the food is worth it! The only downside is that the restrooms are located outside since the restaurant shares the space with another business. Other than that, this place is absolutely worth a stop if you're traveling through the area. If you're driving near Petrified Forest, add this spot to your list you might just discover your new favorite roadside restaurant!

When we arrived I saw that they were serving a buffet. I asked the person who seated us if we could order off the menu and he said yes. It's possible that our experience was largely due to not choosing the buffet. We were served chips and salsa soon after we were seated and our drink order was delivered quickly. We looked at the menus and waited to place our order. I saw the server take someone's order two booths away and walk past us. Then he served someone at the next booth and was walking past us again. I asked if we could place our order. My wife had the two item special with two chicken burritos. I had the large combination with a chimichanga. Both orders came with rice and beans. The rice and beans were the worst we've ever had. Tasteless. The chicken burritos had shredded chicken without seasoning of any kind. The beef chimichanga was similar. There was some taste because it was deep fried, but the meat itself had no seasoning. We won't be back.

I ordered the hamburger with lettuce, tomato and cheese and a side of seasoned fries. I wanted a medium-well, and although it was closer to a well-done, the taste was still excellent and the extras made it all better. The fries were definitely seasoned, it's a very peppery seasoning (and they went a little crazy with the amount) but it was pretty delicious. Another plus is that the portions are very large, I've never left Cattlemen's feeling less than satisfied. Usually, Cattlemen's has very good service... not for me unfortunately. I had to wait about 5 to be seated (totally normal) but I was seated and just ignored for a long time, the waiters/waitresses kept getting mixed up on my things (except for Sam, he was great) and it took a while for things I asked for (like a water) to show up. It's totally fine, not a deal-breaker for me but not the usual five star Cattlemen's experience. Inside is great. I don't know why, but I had never seen the gallery, and inside was a handful of artwork, averaging around $150 - $200 per work. The restaurant is clean and comfortable in many ways, and that's really nice to come to after a long day. To sum it all up, Cattlemen's is a great steakhouse and burger restaurant for anyone's tastes. I think this time was just a one-off and I look forward to coming here again. Thank you.

I got the Chicken Makhani with regular butter naan, and my husband got the Chicken Biryani. Both were seasoned and spiced perfectly--not hot, but with a nice little kick. The Chicken Makhani had a really yummy, rich tomato flavor. My husband really liked his biryani, but after trying mine, I think he actually liked mine a little more! The naan was incredible and probably one of my favorite parts of the meal. The biryani was a really nice, generous portion and a good choice if you're hungry. My meal came with a healthy portion of rice, and the naan serving was generous, although the actual portion of Chicken Makhani and sauce was relatively small. Our server was very nice, friendly, and respectful. They do take credit cards, but tipping was a little unusual. They preferred a cash tip, and there wasn't an option to write one onto the credit card receipt. Since we didn't have cash, they had to run the card again separately for the tip. Not a big deal, just something helpful to know beforehand. Water came in bottles instead of glasses, which we weren't expecting but wasn't a problem, and it looked like sodas were served in cans. It's definitely more of a small, casual restaurant than a fancy dining experience. We had also seen a buffet mentioned online, but there was no buffet when we visited, just the regular menu, so I'm not sure what the buffet hours are. Apple Maps also showed them open until 10, but they were turning off the open sign around 9:20, so I'd recommend coming a little earlier just in case. Overall, a great place to stop in the area if you want something flavorful and different from the typical road-trip food. 4.5/5.
