Good food, good service. Bartender was friendly, steak was good. Think their idea of sear and mine are a bit different. But good.

We came to the restaurant for the first time because we thought they served BBQ. We ordered steaks and baked potatoes. My husband found a separate menu that had BBQ that was face down next to the vase on the table. He really wanted BBQ so we ordered BBQ and got the steaks to go. The brisket was dry and the potato salad was gross. On the way home I had to stop so my husband could use the bathroom. The food made him sick. It continued after we got home. Then 30 minutes later I was sick in the bathroom for hours having vomiting and diarrhea. I am so weak I cannot work today and my stomach still hurts. My advice is if you go here do not order the BBQ or potato salad. We have the steaks and baked potatoes but I do not know if we will eat them. read more

The absolute best steak and drink selection plus amazing service...my husband and I love it!!!

We dinned in today and I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of food that we received for the price. The service was excellent and very fast. I have not been to this location since it was the Red Moon many moons ago! They have really got this place looking nice! The decor is typical for a barbecue restaurant. The tables were well spaced apart, the Music that was playing was really good and not too loud there are three big TVs there to watch sports on if you're interested. In all my years in Ennis this is the coldest beer that I have ever had in this town! My husband Mike was pleased to drink a beer and it still be ice cold on the last sip! read more

I tried the waygu ribeye. It was good but nothing special. Certainly not worth $49. Food is good, just overpriced.

Really bad. Bad service and tasteless low quality food. I would give this a hard pass. I'm really not sure how they can charge this much money for such low quality and service. Manager was not pro active and could care less about what was going on. I watched him spend an hour comparing and discussing arm tattoos with a customer while ignoring the entire restaurant. At this price point it's not worth rolling the dice. read more

This place has the best brisket and the smoked queso is out of this world!!! Service was incredible and the atmosphere felt so Texas... I love it read more

One of the best BBQ places I have been too in all of Texas. I love the loaded Baked potato and the garlic beans are to die for. I stop every time on my trips between Houston and Dallas. read more

I have been here several times and I am always impressed. I would recommend this to anyone that loves real steak. Best "affordable" Steak in Texas accompanied with an attentive staff, very clean and and a great vibe. Love this place! read more

Wow! Best kept secret in three counties! Food, service and cocktails are all 5-star. We had pork chop the first time and chicken this time. Chicken is so flavorful and moist. The carrots and mashed potatoes are seriously too good to describe! Wish they'd turn the tvs off or just get rid of them. The ambiance is great with that exception. We love this place! read more

We ate here for our anniversary. My steak was very good, although a bit charred on the outside. It came with a baked potato. I feel like for the price, a side salad and bread would be nice. I like to patronize local, non-chain restaurants, but they do need to offer similar choices as the competition. read more

Excellent service from Emiliano. 16oz. Smokey ribeye was soooo good! Very flavorful and cooked perfectly (medium rare)!

First time here....live music was great, ambiance was terrific and food was DELICIOUS! Had the NY Strip and Ribeye, green beans, baked potato and fries. We'll definitely be back! read more

Great food and good service. Friendly! Great surprise due to location! What more do I need

My wife and I have been going to Ruston Cattle Co. almost every Friday night. The food is always amazing and the cocktails are top notch. One of the most extensive bars around and the bartenders, Krista and Garret, are both amazing mixologists and come up with some amazing cocktails. I don't want to leave out the servers either. They are always friendly and helpful. They have live music on the weekends so drop in for a great meal. read more

Nothing negative about this place. I had the filet Mignon with a baked potato. Both were cooked perfectly. Ambience was good for a Friday night. Our waitress (all of the waitresses) were busting butt. They were really good. House Pinot Noir was really good (Fog Bank). Prices were totally good for the quality of what you get. read more

Great food and service can be a little loud sometimes, but the food is great. I personally love the green beans. Steak is great, doesn't matter if you get wagyu beef or regular beef. Both are good. Live music on the weekends is a bonus if you like that. read more

Service was incredibly slow. Waited for over an hour and still no food. And this was after waiting 45 min just for a table! Used up all of our babysitter time waiting around. So still don't know how the food is, but won't be back to waste our time. read more

I got the filet and it had great flavor. Ordered it medium rare and it was perfect. Side is a baked potato. 6oz filet and potato was $25. My friend got the filet as well but ordered medium well. Hers was more of a in between medium elevate and medium. Very red in the middle. Kiddo got the 2 meat plate with sides @ $17. He did double ribs and was extremely disappointed with 5 very small ribs. Two sides were Mac and cheese and corn. Mac and cheese was good but small portion. Corn was corn and a small portion too. Long story short - meat had great flavor but overall a super pricey night out for 3 and we were all hungry when we left. read more

We attended for Father's Day weekend but however we knew there would be a long wait and we were fine with waiting. We waited for 50 minutes and when it was our turn the waitress sit us down and gives our drinks and tell us that that their out of brisket, ribs, and chicken for a while. That was such a disappointment and we drove all the way from Plano to eat the famous ribs and brisket. I wish they would have told us that they were out of meat since we got there to reserve the table. We wasted almost $250 dollars on Ribeye and wagyu ribeye steak that was not even cooked well done and it took them two more hours to cook our food. Thank you and I hope y'all better your services.? read more

What a pleasant surprise!! Wow the lunch beef was awesome. Brisket and huge beef rib!! Great service

The best steak in town. Service was fantastic assisting us with a large group for last minute Birthday party. The staff went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of. read more

Ruston Cattle Company 3701 N. Interstate 45, Ennis, TX 75119 rustoncattlecompany@gmail.com 972-875-8514 We went on a Tuesday night and arrived at 6:30. There was plenty of seating available. Only drawback was the tables are all picnic tables with a max seating of 6. I also really prefer to have a chair with a back; I know, I'm getting old. The waitress came right over and took our drink orders quickly. Everything came out as ordered. The atmosphere was nice and clean. Everyone that was working was wearing a mask. They were very attentive to cleanliness. We ordered the smoked queso and chips for an appetizer. They were excellent. I ordered the ribeye, medium. It came out a little more on the medium rare side than I normally order but it was EXCELLENT! The flavor was on point. I didn't add salt, pepper or anything else. The portion size was huge, and I couldn't finish it. Bonus for lunch the next day. The baked potato was tasty; although a little small, it was enough for my meal. The kids had a BBQ sandwich that was HUGE (not a kid's meal). We had more than half of that to bring home as well. The quality of the food was excellent. The drinks were very cold and kept coming. We will most definitely go again. Longtime Waxahachie resident Danny Knight is a small business owner and member of the Waxahachie Police Department.

Very laid back, wagyu steak is phenomenal and not overpriced!!!!! Highly recommended! We have already gone back a second time and this will be a regular!!! read more

I am a BBQ enthusiast. I compete and own my own place. Atmosphere and service were great. Had burnt ends and queso appetizers. The ends were pretty good. The smoke was a little dirty but great consistency and cook. Queso and chips were just meh. Service was really slow and so-so. Part of that was due to a 30-top, but ic you know that is coming, don't shortchange your other guests. read more

This was a great find last night for dinner. My wife had the 6oz Filet and I had a 16oz Ribeye. Both were cooked to perfection. Everything was delicious, well I didn't care for the potato salad, because I hate anything pickled tasting, but other than that was well worth every penny. The staff was super friendly and on top of their game. We will definitely be back for dinner next time we're in the area. read more

Ruston Cattle Company - 16oz Ribeye, Mashed Potatoes and Ranch Potato Salad - Steakhouses Near Me - Ennis, Texas

Smoked queso is tasty. Everything we have eaten here is great. Neat atmosphere and good service.

Great service! Delicious smoked cheese dip and salsa. The ribeye, ribs and brisket were fabulous. Loved the Perimeter Red Blend wine.

Had high hopes but was not up to expectations. First off there were issues with their internet so took way to long to get our drink order (draft beer). Was at least 20 min from Time we put in our order. We got smart and started ordering two at a time. From the time they took our order it was literally 1.5 hours until the food came out. I know, why stay? it was a birthday party and didn't want to be a dick. However the orders came out all wrong. Ordered lean brisket, got major fatty cuts from the shelf (fatty part). Sent back got lean, no real smoke ring or even smoke flavor. Was pretty chewy like it was not cooked long enough. This is strictly my experience and opinion but wanted to let others know how it was for us. read more

We were not impressed at all. Long waiting period. We had the 8 oz sirloin and baked potato. They were both cooked medium. Of course, mine came about half the size of my husband's. We both looked at mine and laughed. We don't mind paying $24, but it certainly wasn't worth it. The server said they don't have steak sauce anymore. I ate it bland. One side comes with it. No salad. No bread/rolls. read more

we had heard so many good things about their waygu ribeye, and were very anxious to have a good steak without having to drive to Dallas. There was an hour wait, but we could sit at the bar (if we could find a seat). We ordered our waygu ribeyes and a salad with one, and green beans and potato salad on the other. If you have ever had a good waygu ribeye, there is beautiful and flavorful marbling throughout. Ours had none. It's was not tender and the only flavor was the fat. The green beans were flavorful, but under cooked. completely skip the potatoes salad. One the plus side my salad was good. The service wasn't bad. We had found a nice spot off of the bar, along the dance floor. Love live music, but would have hated it that night, one of the speakers was right at our feet. We had to order at the bar. Bartender was good, it was busy, but we didnt have to wait long for our drinks. Food came out fairly quickly, but had to ask for silverware. Atmosphere was rustic and charming, it was very busy, but the food, which is the whole reason we went there, was very disappointing. Should have went to Waffle House. read more

This was our first time trying this place and it did not disappoint. The food was great, service was fast and super friendly. We will definitely be back! read more

Called ahead at 5:12pm to ask about seating and if reservations were needed. Was told no reservation needed before 6:30pm. Pulled in at 6:25pm to a full restaurant standing room only and an excuse of we don't even take reservations. 40+min wait!!! People packed like sardines and kids running a muck. Completely ridiculous! No care for customers just their money! read more

Ruston Cattle Company - Steakhouses Near Me - Ennis, Texas

Went there on March 1st. New scaled down menu and higher prices. Many items on the menu don't even resemble a steakhouse menu. Chips and queso, cheese sticks? The cuts of meat are too few and WAY OVER PRICED. Stay with Texas Roadhouse, Logans Roadhouse or Longhorn. Being the only customers there at 5:30 - 6:00 should have told us something. read more

The trip down 45 to look at bluebonnets was worth it for this meal alone. Just a short drive from Dallas for the best brisket around. I had the loaded baked with chopped brisket. I'm so glad I took a photo first because there wasn't much left after. The brisket is like butter and melted in your mouth. Husband had sausage, brisket and ribs that were just as good. Don't forget to get some Mac n cheese! Live band on fri and sat night read more

Ruston Cattle Company - Loaded brisket baked potato - Steakhouses Near Me - Ennis, Texas

Let me start with friendly staff but it took an hour to get seated and then another hour before we got our food. Place was busy but really that's just too long to wait for barbque. I mean it's already been cooked just slice it and add some sides. Ridiculous to take 2 1/2 hrs to eat barbecue. And the brisket was good but it was Luke warm. The steak was average. The kitchen staff needs serious retraining read more

Ruston cattle is amazing! The food is worth every penny! If you're looking for idea on a date night fellas, she'll love it. The smoked queso was amazing, the burnt ends just melt in your mouth and the steak, well the picture speaks for its self. Atmosphere was great. Our bill was around 100, can't complain. read more

We tried Ruston Cattle Company in Ennis, Tx. The Bathrooms are not very private for the men. You urinate into a metal trough and the toilet only has a curtain. Next the food is very commercialized and below par. The brisket is ok at best, the sausage and ribs are well portioned but lack flavor. A lot of the staff is very self absorbed and condescending. Our waitress was very kind, attentive, and helpful (Keirston). Over all feel is confusing. There is a bar or pub feeling mixed with saloon, restaurant, and club. I mean why cloth napkins with a metal trey, food on butcher paper, and plastic glasses to drink out of. They often run out of food on busy nights and usually an hour to two hour wait to be seated. Then 30 min to an hour to be served. read more

What restaurant in TX in June on an almost 100 degree day doesn't turn on the AC (but had AC in the restrooms)? What restaurant on Father's Day of all days doesn't have four of the items that comprise over a third of the dishes and combos offered- no brisket, ribs, sausage or chicken? What restaurant has live music so loud you think your at the House of Blues and your server cannot even hear your order without shouting and repeating it twice then pointing to the menu? Well, Ruston Cattle Co that's who. the music was so loud we finally decided to get our food to go Because we couldn't have any conversation at all. I should have known 15 minutes later (after waiting a half hour for it to be bagged up) when we got home and started unpacking it that any restaurant that includes a side of steak sauce with a 48.00 Waygu filet was a bad sign. The sauce turned out to be the tastiest thing about the meal. the meat was tender but had absolutely NO flavor. Not even the blacking spice either. The loaded baked potatoe that came with it was half raw, had no butter, a couple livers of cheese, barely any sour cream and no bacon or chives. Guess the Chef needs a dictionary to understand what loaded is. The drinks are served in styrofoam cup, and we had to keep knocking flies out of ours. The smoked queso app tasted like tomato soup with some ground beef thrown in it. My brother ordered the Waygu rib (a signature dish for this place) and said he was glad we took it home because he had to slather it in sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce to eat one of them. He feed the second to the dog. His extra side of truffle cheese mashed potatoes came in styrofoam, and in the restaurant it's served in a paper fry tray, was minuscule, and flavorless and lumpy. the salad was wilted, the croutons were mushy, and the dressing is bottled. Overall it was the most disappointing Father's Day meal ever, but we saw the other glowing reviews and didn't want to drive to Dallas, but I've honestly had better meals at Outback and the Keg steakhouse, and we won't ever make that mistake again, and will stick with tried and proven quality and portions. If you're going to spend 50 bucks on a steak, and want to enjoy it, in a comfortable atmosphere go to Pappa Bros, Bobs Chop house, or for a better steak, service, atmosphere, and choices at a much better cost go to the Keg in Arlington. Thankfully, I had made a cherry pie for dessert (Dad's favorite) so we devoured that with some TX Braums vanilla ice cream to save the day for him. read more
