We came to Culpeppers for the brunch on Valentine's Day. We did make reservations and were seated rather quickly upon our arrival. The atmosphere is cute and cozy. The brunch layout was a little different. Overall, the food was good however, the options were limited if you are gluten-free. The mimosa and bloody mary bar is a cute unique idea that sets apart this restaurant from other breakfast buffets. The only misstep in my opinion would be the four dollars for a cup of "okay" coffee, and the fact that you have to request new plate if you want a second trip to the buffet line. We would come back! read more

Had not been here since the 80's. The place is updated and a good variety on the menu. The cocktail menu is also creative. The service was good read more

Reservation was for 7:30 PM and I confirmed our arrival through Resy beforehand. We arrived at 7:24 PM, checked in, and the lobby was packed but hardly anyone was being seated. A hostess didn't approach us until around 7:50 PM and the interaction wasn't friendly. When we asked for an update at 8:00 PM, we were told we were the second party to be seated, yet we still weren't seated until 8:10 PM. We were placed by the exit door with cold air blowing on us constantly. The food took way too long, and when it arrived the sirloin steaks were overcooked and cold. The loaded baked potato was the only warm item, but it was missing cheese and had far too much butter. Culpepper's has always been a family favorite, but after last night's experience I won't be returning. Very disappointed. read more

I have been wanting to eat there for a few years now. It was a brunch and it was not good food. It was like the chef was trying out all his experimental stuff on the customers on that day, Plus the food was dried up and not edible. I was let down to say the least. read more

I just want to say thank you on behalf of myself and my family. I called to make a reservation and in spite of it being such short notice for New Year's Eve, Will and Ashley let me know that they would do what they could to get us sat and squeeze us in on that night. Not only did they do that, but it was on time and the service all evening was amazing. Nicole was absolutely wonderful and made us just feel really comfortable. She's so fun, sweet and a top notch server! In spite of the fact that it was 13 of us, our drinks stayed refilled, our orders were perfect, and it made our first experience at Culpepper so good. Our meal of 2025 was wonderful and we are so happy we ended up going here. Btw, the fajitas, steaks, drinks and tortillas are delicious!! read more

Food was great. Service was great the location phenomenal we loved everything. The service was excellent. Food was delicious. read more

Culpepper Cattle - Place was beautiful. The service was great. Food was delicious. We loved it. We came here with my family to celebrate Harper my birthday. - Steakhouses Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

Great food great service great atmosphere. We eat here at least 2 to 3 times a week! One of our favorite spots to eat in Rockwall read more

One of our go to steak places in Rockwall. The atmosphere is a cool combination of old west, safari and antique. The service is always great and the food is amazing. The new owner has redone the menu and I have never been disappointed. It is our place for special occasions or if we just want to be pampered read more

Theres a reason why this place has 3 stars. The fajitas were unseasoned & the service was terrible.

We love eating here. The fajitas and salsa are delicious and on the weekends when they have live music we love to sit on patio.

20% automatic tip for parties of 6 or more???? Ambiance is meh... dated for newer locations in the area. Food was meh... but prices on the menu for hard ass chairs and mid era bar type tables to sit at do not equate to 5 star steakhouse prices. I had the smash burger had a regular McDonald's style sesame bun on it - nothing fancy about it at all - came with soggy onion rings, wife had 9oz filet decent taste but rarer than what was read more

I went here with my wife for our anniversary on a Wednesday at 6:15pm. Wasn't crowded at all. We had the fried green tomatoes, 6oz filet, green beans, and cowboy potatoes. The food was delicious. Steak was cooked well, green beans and potatoes were also good. Had the highland margaritas. They were delicious and well made. They were expensive, but did not disappoint. I had 2. Any more would have been a problem. The service was highly attentive. I also noticed that the surrounding tables had prompt service. It appeared as if this was something the restaurant was putting a lot of focus on. Our server was very good. I think her name was Ainsley. The ambiance was quiet and we were able to converse without issue. The table was candle lit which was a nice touch. It was western themed, but not overdone. All in all we had a really great experience. I would recommend this place. They also had a really cool looking bar attached to the restaurant that was a little secluded from the dining area. I want to come back and check that out. read more

Brought my parents here for Sunday brunch, and everything was excellent. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and our server, Ashley N, went above and beyond. She was quick, friendly, and provided outstanding hospitality throughout our meal. We really enjoyed the experience and will definitely be coming back! read more

Culpepper Cattle - Steakhouses Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

This review is mainly a thanks! At one time I owned a lot of real estate on Lake Ray Hubbard. I grew-up going with my father (meeting his buddies) to Peter Luger Steak House, established in 1887 at the foot of the Williamsburg Bridge, Brooklyn, NY. So, I know good meat and cuts. Whenever I'd visit my properties, I'd go to Culpepper Cattle for my meat fix. Mind you, I owned a nice restaurant in Dallas to eat at for free! Some of my tenants were from Church on the Rock, Larry Lea followers. Everyone knew me well back then, with my 930 Porsche and other nice Dallas rides. I normally ate a Ribeye and a baked potato. Well, I actually was running through Rockwall and decided to try it again and it was great. My old restaurant is still going strong in Dallas! I didn't even go in. The Ribeye and baked potato at Culpepper Cattle was no different then way back when and thank-you. It's obviously my last Rodeo! read more

Had a flat so pulled in . Had lunch beef fajitas. They were good $10 . Good food, fresh tortillas. Good service. Nice inside and out. We will be back soon. read more

Service was absolutely terrible. Worst ever. Slow, inattentive, took 8 minutes to be greeted and another 2 minutes for waters. Then my wife wanted a port wine, we asked the waitress and she said we don't have any "knowing they do" and i went to the bar to get it and the bartender said they didn't have it... our waitress went to the cellar and actually found it so he was like oh I need to go let the bartender know so Incase someone else asks for port she knows which one they have and she can serve it... well the bartender didn't like that and she started to argue with me and tell me that we must sell it by the bottle. I was like "MY WIFE HAS A GLASS IN FRONT OF HER RN the waitress went and found it. And the bartender kept fighting with me. He was like I literally just wanted you to know so you could serve it to someone else who asks." So i actually was mad enough to talk to a manager. I loved it. I told her we wouldn't be back. Note we've been coming here for 8 years. I even paid the bill first THEN talked to the manager. Like we don't want free shit I'm just mad read more

Great bar service Collin! Always time for a glass of wine and a French 75! For my baby while finishing Xmas errands! read more

Culpepper Cattle - Always time for a quick glass of wine and a French 75 for my baby. Thanks for the awesome service at the bar Collin! - Steakhouses Near Me - Rockwall, Texas

Love the smash burger on Monday lunch specials. They have fajitas Friday specials for Lunch too that are delicious

Awesome place with high quality food. Will Shelton is a must meet and there is absolutely nothing within reason he won't do to meet your expectations. Sometimes upstairs gets crowded but we always seem to find room downstairs. And when the weather is nice, outside seating is a great choice. High quality food and good drinks. read more

I've heard a lot of mixed reviews but overall I'd say it was very good. I think there are a few other options locally that I'd consider before coming back, mostly the price point is a little high for what you get . I got the double pork chops and it was great read more

Super unwelcoming restaurant, it's giving racist maybe ????????????? When arrived hostess said there were no tables available for our party of 8 which you would think they normally give you a wait time to accommodate and when asked again all of the sudden a 1 hour wait? Mind you this was our first time here and if we needed reservations they could have mentioned that with our big party we were expecting a wait either way, we had no issue waiting. Also the employees at the front giving ugly judgmental stares?? If the managements goal when hiring them was to give customers a very rude and unprofessional unwelcoming greeting, success! read more

We love love love the weekend buffet!!! Please don't ever get rid of it. So many options and the mimosa bar is so fun!

While in town from San Diego, we discovered Culpepper Cattle Company. I was craving authentic Texas Mexican food, while my boyfriend had his heart set on a high-quality steak. The fusion of Mexican and steak options made this stop an easy choice. I had the sour cream enchiladas, and my boyfriend got the C.A.B filet--both dishes exceeded our expectations. Davis, our server, provided excellent service, and the GM Bill went out of his way to check on us, adding a personal touch to our experience. Without a doubt, we'll be back on our next trip to town. Highly recommended! read more

The wife and I had supper there Wednesday evening- a celebration of more than a few trips around the sun. We were greeted and taken to our table and our server took our drink and appetizer orders while we looked at the menu. We both wanted their river and discussed the options. The manager told us he might have a center cut and would carve off a piece larger than the offered 14 ounce piece. I ordered a 16 ounce cut done to medium along with grilled squash and a salad. Sandra ordered the 10 ounce, a baked sweet potato, and a salad. The salads were crisp! Soon, our meal was delivered. My steak was well-trimmed meaning i was getting 16 ounces of steak, not 13 ounces of meat and 3 ounces of fat. The seasoning was perfect, the meat was curable with a fork. The grilled squash perfectly complemented the meat. Sandra's was equally tasty although a bit overdone. Ribeyes are known for taste and tenderness. The trick is to grill them to just shy of medium. That temperature allows the dat to melt tenderizing the meat and adding to its taste. Too rare, the fat cannot worknm its magic. Cooled toward more done, thecfat burns off and the meat dries out and becomes chewie. Folks, when a great piece of meat is cut thin, it overcooks quickly. Culpepper's source for precut steaks makes the cut all thin. The supper ended with a delicious slice of key. lime pie. If you are looking for a great meal, Culpepper will deliver it. At 76, I have eaten many ribeye steaks. Mine this past Wednesday was one of the top five I have enjoyed. The service was first rate. The atmosphere was exceptional. The price was competitive. read more

We came here to celebrate my husbands birthday and it was perfect! I had the smothered chopped steak and he had the chicken and sausage, both were delicious. Monkey bread is a must! Luke served us and he was delightful! read more

Love Culpeppers..,BUT, the new outdoor area??? GET FANS!!!! We live in Texas y'all. It's just the beginning of June and at 7:00 in the evening my entire party was drenched. Stayed till the party ended at 9:00 and it was hotter than h@&@!!! Can't imagine July or August!!! 4-$50. Fans guys!!!! EASY FIX!!!! AND outside is where the band is. And the 100s of 18 wheelers going by on I-30!!!!!! So glad we weren't eating a full steak meal. That would be awful... more so than our experience. Imagine... A $200. meal and dripping sweat in your food?? Was a good thought but executed very poorly!!!!! Ugh!! read more

We ate brunch at Culpepper today. Betty is amazing! We ask for Betty or Jocelyn every time we go! They are phenomenal servers!

It was my first time here. Our servers Abby and Nicole were AMAZING! Food was delish and the wine was great! Great first time!

Culpepper's has set the standard in Rockwall dining for more years than we've lived here. We've hand at least 100 meals and group gatherings including numerous international customers who have raved about it here over the last 25 years. It's a surprisingly well known, go-to establishment in DC circles. There is simply no more well known higher end establishment in Rockwall. Culpepper's is always great service. The ambience is the whole establishment. From steaks to seafood, We've never had a bad meal. If in Rockwall, it's a definite must do restaurant with scheduled stage music performances. read more

My fiancé and I, met some friends at this spot in Rocwall, TX. It's a very nice spot to have lunch or dinner. We had the lunch special. Beef or chicken fajitas with all the trimmings for only $10 a plate. The service that we got from our waitress and staff was exceptional! I loved the atmosphere, the ambiance, everyone was friendly, informative and made us all feel welcomed. If you get desert, let me recommend the brownie with toasted marshmallows and ice cream. We will most definitely be going back to Culpepper Cattle in the near future. I give Culpepper Cattle 5 out 5 drinks! Cheers! read more

Has been dialed back from a stuffy expensive dining experience . Now it's much more relaxed and affordable . My lunch of coconut shrimp and onion strings was great! Service too! read more

We really enjoy this restaurant. Very glad to still see it standing here and going stronger than ever! We celebrated my boyfriend's birthday here one year and they made it very special in the wine room. The steak was very good and cooked perfectly. Service was excellent. The ambiance is very unique unforgettable. read more

Best ribeye steak in Dallas period. I've been to many steakhouses in the area and am always found comparing it to culpepper

We have been frequent customers of the Culpeppers in Rockwall. Normally, we sit at the bar and have a nice dinner With friendly bartenders and servers. Tonight we experienced a loud vulgar disruptive man at the bar. Inexcusable! Even the staff cringed at his comment, volume and vulgarity! Really??? Is it necessary to allow someone to impose his presence in such a negative and offensive way? Guests literally left the area due to his behavior. Very disappointed with Culpeppers. Our tab was in excess of $125.00 plus tip. I guess we paid for aggravation, hearing loss and total disruption of what should have been a nice evening. Diners beware! read more

Amazing staff!! Always enjoy our visit. Food is delicious and service is above par. Desserts are pretty fantastic as well read more

We had 6 in our party. 4 of the meals were fantastic. The two people who had fried food were not impressed as they felt their food was over cooked , it was coconut shrimp and chicken fried steak. Which the manager removed both from our ticket. That said into the good. The Caesar salad was phenomenal, the chicken and sausage meal was great, juicy and tasty. Mom loved the chopped beef and dad loved his chicken fajitas. We had never been to culpeppers before but will def be back. The decor is so pretty, the service was great and food was almost all perfect. read more
