Most of my relatives come from the Lamont/Tonkawa area and I lived in Lamont in 1969-70 during my Junior HS year working on my uncles farm. I've come back several times over the past 50 years and each time the town was smaller, older and more sad. My nieces (from Los Angeles) and I (from Las Vegas) came to town last week and were all surprised that there has been a new addition to Lamont....Kats. I've worked in the hospitality business in Las Vegas, leading HR for the Venetian and Palazzo and have dined at every steakhouse in the city from Wolfgang Pucks CUT to Tom Colicchio's Craftsteak. Here's the truth...Kats in the 300 person town of Lamont Oklahoma serves better steaks than anywhere in Vegas. And if there is a better steak in Vegas, I'll guarantee you will pay $200-$300 for it rather than the $56 at Kats that will get you the best 16 ounce ribeye that you've ever had. Kats does 100+ covers 3 nights a week from 4:30 to 9:00PM, the beverages are great and the service is impeccable (thanks Leann). You'll likely be greeted by the owner Kat, her father Chad will be grilling your steak and most of the staff are family or friends. You simply cannot go wrong here and if you ever find yourself in Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri or northern Texas..make a reservation and I'll bet you'll find yourself writing a similar review. read more

This family owned and run restaurant is far and away much more than one would expect to find in a very small farming community (pop. 300+). Kat greeted us. We chatted with her grandpa who eats there a few times each week. Her banker, farmer, entrepreneur father, who grills the steaks, came out to say hi, too. Other times when we have eaten there, my spouse and I have enjoyed the steaks and various potato preparations; all delicious. Tonight, being Thursday night, we chowed down on Kat's homemade lasagna, asparagus, and house salads. Everything was scrumptious. Our server was very attentive, and we had another wonderful meal. The decor features many authentic photographs that depict life in this small town through the decades. Kat's grandma, bless her soul, captured a sense of understated elegance that makes the restaurant a home away from home. read more

We go to Kats steakhouse twice a year only because it's one hour and 20 minutes away. The ribeye steak was great as usual. Tried the house potatoes with the tremendous salad to start. Wife had the steak kabobs with grilled carrots. We both had leftovers for at least another meal. The owner who also cooks the steaks stopped for a visit. We finish with the cherry cobbler which had ice cream. Everything was excellent. We love the restaurant because it looks classy and unlike other steakhouse is quite so you can talk. The second server was friendly and did a outstanding job. read more

Leann served us the most delicious meals of Steak Kabobs, Sirloin Burger along with Fantastic Roasted carrots & Country Potatoes! The Homemade Rum Cake, Bourbon Pecan Pie & Creme Brûlée were perfect to finish our meal!! The food was amazing, but the service was spectacular! Will definitely return!! read more

Kat's Steakhouse - HOMEMADE desserts of Bourbon pecan pie, crème brûlée, and rum cake with ice cream & caramel drizzle were AMAZING - Steakhouses Near Me - Lamont, Oklahoma

Kat's Steak House is a fabulous restaurant in the middle of nowhere... at least compared to Chicago and Cincinnati where I have lived. Lamont is a small town of 293 located about 30 minutes northeast of Enid. In the middle of this small town is an absolute gem of a steak house, widely known as the best steak house in NW Oklahoma. It is a true family run business with Kat herself bartending and waiting, her Dad at the grill and several aunts and friends serving. They are, to a person, thoughtful, friendly, attentive and professional. AND THE FOOD IS AMAZING... at least as good as anything I can get in the city!!! If you get a chance, find this place and eat there. You will not be disappointed. read more

Booked a reservation for 6 people last Friday nite at 7 pm. Yes I was confirmed on Open Table. Approx 8:40pm the nite before, I received a message that my reservation time has been changed to 6 pm. We were driving 120 miles to meet other family members, couldn't get away any earlier. I immediately called the phone number listed on Open Table , got no answer but left a voice message. No response from the restaurant. None. read more

Amazing, steaks are always perfect, cocktails are always amazing. 10/10, always try to eat here every chance I can!

Lamont, Oklahoma, population 392. Why in the world would anyone want to go there looking for a place to eat, let alone a fabulous steak house on Main Street? We'll, I went there with my wife and friends, not knowing what to expect and enjoyed what has to be the best steak ever! The exterior looks run down and in need of a facelift like so many other business on the street. There must have been a dozen failed and shuttered businesses on Main Street and Kat's could be mistaken for one of those businesses. So I kept a positive attitude regardless of first appearances. When we walked inside, it was anything but run down. It Is a thriving restaurant that was nearly packed with few open tables remaining. The menu is simple with a large selection of beef steaks, some pork and some chicken. I ordered the Rib Eye rare +1 and a loaded baked potato. While waiting for my order to be prepared, I enjoyed a well-crafted Old Fashioned. When the meal came, it looked fabulous. Proper grill marks and a beautiful glaze. I cut into the steak and it melted like butter in my mouth. I have never had a better steakhouse steak than tonight. The loaded baked potato was delicious but the Rib Eye took the spotlight! Wow! So meeting people and establishing friendships is sort of like choosing restaurants. Don't make assumptions on first appearances because if you do, you could miss out on the joy of a lifetime. read more

Wow! What a great experience. We had heard about Kat's and made reservations. We arrived and were pleasantly surprised as we walked in and saw the upscale decor and tablecloth covered tables. We were seated and greeted by the owner's aunt who told us that Kat was 26 when she started her restaurant. We ordered some cocktails and tea and decided to try the handmade onion rings which were amazing!!!! We had filet mignon and baked potatoes and they were delicious. We ended the night with cherry cobbler. A great experience. Great food. Great service. Thanks! read more

Kat's Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Lamont, Oklahoma

Best steak in Oklahoma! Great service! Wish the place would be a little roomier, but really cozy anyway. read more

What a disappointment. We specifically sought this steakhouse out to celebrate a special occasion, and traveled a ways too. We arrived for our reservation and we had to wait. Once we were seated we found ourselves in a very tight/cramped table. The booth was relatively orthopedic and was difficult to negotiate our meal when the people behind would move as our seats would move up and down like we were on some kind of ride. The food itself was okay - expensive for the quality we received. The service was fine, yet the restaurant was so tightly packed it was difficult to hear people at our table, though we could have told you about the family's events and orders at a nearby table. The highlight was the dessert, though. It was amazing, but not so much that we'd return. read more

We enjoyed our evening out celebrating a wonderful friend's birthday. Great food and awesome customer service!

We had heard so much about this little place that we had to drive an hour one way to check it out. And it is an interesting little place. It sits blended into Lamont's Main Street, north of the post office on the east side of HWY 60. But let me stress that you need to get a reservation. The place fills up very fast. This is not the place for a romantic date with pleasant conversation. Because it is so loud. The echoing noise from the horde mixed with the loud music was so uncomfortable. If you and your's idea of romance does not involve talking to each other then this might be your place. Yet, beyond the sound, it is clean and the interior is pleasant. It has almost a farmhouse kitchen or dining room feeling. And that is part of the sound issue. As we could hear everyone's conversations. From spouses arguing about money, to folks talking about the various games. The acrostics are horrible, period. It needs some sound-dampening elements add to the decor to subdue the sound a bit. The hostess (an older lady) who sort of greeted us was not the most pleasant. In fact, she seemed bothered by our arrival 10 minutes before our reservation. But our waiter was prompt and friendly. The issue with him was how he handled the drinks. He needs instruction on how to handle them to reduce cross-contamination. Never should a waiter or waitress handle the rim of the glass period. No appetizers on this one. From what we saw the onion rings can't make the rest of the meal that much better for the cost. We had a small sirloin steak meal and the kabobs meal. We went this route due to the cost of the steaks. Now, the sirloin steak at $36 dollars was a low-end piece of meat. I am glad that the $44 Rib-eye wasn't selected. Because the one I got was okay at best. They cooked it spot on at medium-rare and the flavor was not bad. But it was a bit tough and stringy. I would rate it at best as a $15-$18 steak. It did not justify their price. The salads with the ranch dressing were not bad. They were fresh with no wilted sections or nasty bits on the leaves. I bit more substance would have been nice. I ordered the Corporate potatoes. To which I will say don't order them. They were silly and bland. They needed help in a big way. The bland potatoes and sour cream with cornflakes on top were as unimpressive as the steaks. They needed some supportive spices, like chives, salt, and pepper. The creme brulee we selected for dessert was unimpressive as well. It lacked depth and flavor. Instead of giving one a rich decadent flavor to enjoy, it was mild and bland. Like a lukewarm vanilla box pudding with some toasted syrup on top. Would we go back? The answer is we don't know. We didn't hate it. But we were not blown away either. And for the price, we expected a little more bang for our buck. We felt that for a $136.00+ check for two without an appetizer or any liquor, lacked value. We actually felt we should have gotten something more. Other than a 2-hour round trip, rude reception, loud noise, and subpar food. It has a lot of potential, and we had heard a lot of folks raving about it. But folks are so used to mediocrity that anything above it seems awesome in their little minds. Kat's is not Awesome. But it is not horrible either. It could be incredible and it has a lot of potential. But, let's be clear, it is not worth the money. But it wouldn't take much to make this a damn fine destination experience. We may consider coming back some other time to give them another try. We wanted it to be super. It could have been an off night. But for all the hype, we felt like we deserved at least half of our money back. read more

The service, cocktail and onion rings were outstanding. Kats potatoes were alright but the filet...I ordered it medium rare and was served a filet that was almost medium well. Based on many other reviews commenting on incorrect temperature, I would recommend the waitress wait two seconds for you to cut into the steak before walking away. One over cooked steak ruins the dinner...especially when you drove a hour and a half for it. read more

Disappointing TLDR: Noisy, cramped dining room and seating, food not cooked as requested, food served warm not hot and very salty, flimsy booths added a rodeo element to the meal. Inconsistent quality of the beef ....at a steakhouse. For more details continue reading...... We were here to celebrate our son's graduation from pilot training. We felt a significant event should be celebrated. We searched Yelp and saw the reviews for Kat's and were quite hoping the 40 minute drive was worth the effort. We made reservations through the app which was very convenient. We received updates and queries to remind and ensure we would still be honoring our reservations, again, convenient and helpful. We were greeted warmly and told they were getting a table ready for us. After a moderate wait we were seated in the main room which was quite.... we will say cozy....one could say cramped. Our booth was tight and we aren't large. The backs of both sides of our booth were in constant motion from the folks sitting in the booths on either side. A combination of back massage and roller coaster at times. Fun at Disney, not so much for enjoying a meal. Conversation was difficult due to the overall noise level in the room. Two large groups in the center provided the room with accounts of their recent experiences and grievances. The wait staff had to nearly shout over the conversation which added another element to the din. We ordered an appetizer and when the appetizer arrived ordered dinner. 1/2 way through our delicious onion rings came the salads. I'm sure it was not intentional but my salad arrived about four inches from my face while the table was queried as to who chose which dressing. With the salad bowl out of my face and the appetizer plates moved to the side we enjoyed our nice salads. One of our party got the balsamic dressing and coughed her way through dinner with the harsh vinegar providing the stimulus. There were no dinner rolls offered or provided but we just had onion rings so.... We had our salads and watched our companion choke her way through the balsamic rodeo. Entrees soon followed and here is where the train left the tracks for the last time. The side of Kat's Homestyle Potatoes were a meager portion that was not terribly hot. My steak was cooked well but very salty and,again, not hot. My baked potato was baked but not recently; the condiments were ice cold and the potato was room temp or slightly above. My wife and I ordered the same doneness but hers was quite rare as mine was cooked well. Her steak was tough and very salty along with being undercooked. Our son's steak missed the mark in cooking, quality and overly salted as well. The fourth of our party, now recovered from her battle with the balsamic, ordered a pasta chicken dish that was served warm-ish as well. We all shared a crème brûlée that was nice and a Bourbon Pecan pie that was the highlight of the meal. The evening was just a shattering disappointment from the cafe/diner atmosphere, the cramped booth with the bucking backrest and the food that, while it didn't all pass 4 inches from my nose, was passed to us quickly and without a lot of follow up. We didn't expect dark walls, red velvet carpet or tuxedo adorned hosts but we also didn't expect an atmosphere surpassed by Texas Roadhouse. The prices and the experience don't match up frankly and we would have been better off going for pizza. read more

Food is always great & so good. We have yet to get a dessert since the main meal fills us up. Best Service in town.

The food is delicious, incredible service. Definitely worth the drive from Enid, OK. Do try the steaks. Their specialty

The hands down best steak we've ever had! The sides are okay nothing really memorable about them. We love the crème brûlée it rivals with the best we've eaten. read more

Kat's Steakhouse - Best Onion ring ever !!!! - Steakhouses Near Me - Lamont, Oklahoma

Great food, good atmosphere, the service was OVER THE TOP GREAT!!! Can't wait to go back!

We went to Kat's on the recommendation of a friend. Over the years, my enthusiasm for steaks out has waned - generally too much money for a steak that's just o.k. The steak I make at home is better and less expensive. So while I was cautiously optimistic, the thing that really intrigued me about Kat's was the photo of their onion rings. More about that in a minute. My wife and I split (as we often do) one meal - here, the 10 ounce sirloin. It was great: I think the best steak I've had out ever. Kinda funny, but true, every bite I took I was a little surprised at how good it was. Well seasoned and perfectly cooked. My wife liked her half, too. So why not 5 stars? Well, I'm frugal (think cheap), and the steak + house potatoes + salad was $28. The menu clearly states if you split an entree they will bring a second salad and add a $9 upcharge. So $18.50 (dividing in half) for a 5oz sirloin, about 7 thin slices of potato, and house salad is a bit much in my opinion. Really, I mean REALLY, I'm not complaining about you, Kat's. You're not out of the norm for pricing in my experience. But this is why we prefer to eat at home. Ok, onion rings: we got the half order, $9, and it was enough for 3, maybe 4, folks. That didn't stop my wife and me from cleaning the plate! In fact, I considered eating the plate. These are done exactly the way I wish I could do at home: thinly sliced, lightly dusted NOT battered, perfectly seasoned. Terrific! Kat's will be a special dine out destination for us, just not often because of the price. Again, best steak I've had out ever, and the onion rings... perfect! The folks were very nice, too. Don't want to forget to say that. We were made to feel at home. read more

Top Tier dining at Kat's... Kat and Amy totally engaging in their service to us!!!
