The place had a very nice vibe and seemed very popular. Classy decor but casual feel. The enclosed glass wine cooler was amazing to see. The wine glasses.... Well everything in TX is bigger. They were goblets and so pretty. Our server was Viviana, who was very sweet and polite. The bread was so soft and hot. But so much for two people, I felt bad not eating it all. One loaf would have been enough. I ordered a cucumber drink w/o alcohol: SO good. Mango salad with chicken for me. He had steak, lobster tail and a glass of Austin Hope red wine. Food was delicious! Next time we are in El Paso- we're coming back and making reservations to guarantee a seat. Plenty of parking but... people can't see nor pay attention to the faded arrows on the ground showing which way to go. I had to back all the way out of the row back to the entrance because a big 4x4 truck went the wrong way to exit! It was dangerous because of the sharp turn into the parking lot from the steer. Next time we will Find parking on the left side- because some people don't care.

Expectations and reality were nothing alike. As we were seated our waiter took 10 min to great us and then another 12 min to bring our drinks. I didn't think anything of it yet it was a precursor to the rest of our dinner. After he took our order our kids food came out in a very timely fashion but our two orders of salmon and one steak sandwich took 40 min to arrive at the table. What a ridiculous waste of my time because my sandwich was missing the fries ordered and our waiter thought nothing of it till I brought it up then he took another 10 min to bring my fries. All this while simultaneously forgetting the sauce for the salmon which also took another 10 min to bring out. The salmon was so dry it was tacky and stuck to your teeth. If you know the feeling you know it's bad. The rice that came underneath the salmon was crunchy and way undercooked. All while the waiter was like oh I can bring you free deserts for your wait all while I could only think about how I just wanted to leave. I was internally livid and exhausted but kept it to my self after seeing the owner or manager who we the guy with the white hair over at the bar enjoying a few alcoholic beverages meanwhile his restaurants service and waitstaff to the worst possible job they can. I saw the people who got the most attention and good service were all regulars sitting at the bar laughing it up with the manager/owner older guy. Why not make sure your restaurant is running smoothly and food is being delivered and prepared properly and stop trying to impress the regulars who most likely will show up either way. Any restaurant that is this unorganized and unmotivated is due to crappy management. All this and the waiter is like I'll comp you for the steak sandwich with a discount for the bad service and salmon which was a whopping $5. I don't want a discount I don't want free day old desserts I want good service and decent food. Discounts and free desserts will never fix the problem because it will always be a crutch for trashy customer service. How about stop drinking with the guests and whoop that staff into semi decent shape buy some high chairs and make sure your expo does a once over quality check on the food and time it takes to get to the table EVEN if that means stepping in and doing it yourself. The restaurant is dark the tables are sticky the whole place is very compact . Perfect and quite attractive after 5-6 wines for sure. I'm sure the food is outstanding after a few drinks as well . They gave us a $25 dollar gift card to return which if I could I'd give to the owner so he could experience the same horrible food and service we did. I wouldn't even give the gift card to someone I hated. This was one of the first times in a long time I didn't just let it slide because I understand all restaurants and people have bad days but this was exceptionally bad. If you are thinking it can't be that bad think again it absolutely can. The whole "I'm sorry we usually have awesome service and everyone loves our food it's probably just me and my family " is laughable . This isn't my first time here while visiting El Paso. The food is getting worse.

We also ordered the Foie Gras, let me say I love a nice seared foie gras, this was not that at all. It was more of a pate, and was ok. The table had previously ordered the oysters while we were drinking at the Dome and all I heard was that they tasted off. We placed our main plates @ 7 pm, I and a few others ordered the ribeye, it was not worth the $86 a plate. Our food came an hour and a half later, we were all ready to leave. Mind you the only other table that was there when we ordered was a two top and a three top that had received their food already. The ribeyes were cold some over cooked, some under cooked and it was just not good. I can cut my own steaks from Sam's and have a better meal. I'm sorry but out of the 14 of us maybe 1 person was happy with their meal. The only saving grace was the service and the dessert. I'm glad I didn't pay for the dinner

The staff was incredibly accommodating, and our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable, and so helpful with recommendations. The amuse-bouche of watermelon with Tajín-style seasoning was a refreshing and thoughtful start. The wedge salad was the standout of the night, generously portioned, perfect for sharing, and absolutely delicious. The pesto spaghetti was equally impressive, with a beautifully balanced sauce that wasn't overpowering. I ordered the miso black cod, which was cooked perfectly and beautifully flaky. While it leaned a bit salty for my taste, the quality of the dish still stood out. The ambiance is dark and intimate, perfect for an upscale dinner, and the iPad menus were a helpful modern touch. Overall, the exceptional hospitality and standout dishes made this a wonderful dining experience, especially after a long travel day. I would absolutely return.

It did not disappoint! I also ordered their sirloin well done with a baked sweet potato (supposed to be better for you); however, I should have stuck with a regular potato (it was not bad but nothing like a regular baked potato). Steak was excellent. We did not order any dessert as there were some choices in the salad bar. Pricing was excellent (23.95 for the steak and your choice of side) with an extra 4.95 for the salad bar. Every meal comes with complimentary bread. Such an excellent value! Everything was very clean, with lots of employees and servers around restocking the salad bar as well as checking up on us. I have always liked Saltgrass (I still do), but this is also my top choice for an overall excellent meal and value!

We had about a 5 minute wait and our server John was on point. He took our drink order and brought waters as well in case. He also soon after brought us these huge bread rolls for the table. Fresh from the oven. We had a group of 6 so we ordered a potato skin appetizer (6pcs). It was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I ordered the peppercorn NY strip with steak fries. Medium cooked, it was so juicy and perfectly cooked. I can say it's in the top 10 I have ever had. So delicious. Can't wait to go back to El Paso. I did see this restaurant has other locations in New Mexico. So if I go there I will seek them out. Please enjoy a steak at the cattle baron.

Riddle me this. If you were a couple dining out during a major pandemic, and the restaurant you…read morewere dining in had ALL the free tables you could possibly choose from, would you sit at the ONLY table that just so happens to be like RIGHT next to the only other couple up in that joint?! Keep in mind these tables are less than the designated "safe space" of 6 feet away from each other. One couple did such a thing this evening. I wanted to smack them both over the damn head with my empty dinner plate I had just finished polishing off because the food was THAT good. But...since I'm clearly using this joke of a preamble to rant incessantly, we should probably get on with the actual review, yes? Yes. Let's-a-go! As at least one other review previously mentioned, Borderland Steakhouse is the replacement of the late Original Great American steakhouse. To cut right to the chase, I'll say it is a worthy successor to its stead. While not perfect, we WILL be coming back! As per usual, le wifey got the 10oz filet with the mac n' queso (yep, that's what they're calling it) whilst I went for my all time favorite...the grilled lobster tail. Only it didn't taste grilled. Eh....let's go over this real quick. So, we start off with our respective salads. Though I can only speak to the quality of the Caesar salad, I'll just say it was fine, but nothing to write home about. 7 out of 10. Now, like I said, the lobster tail didn't taste (or look) grilled. Maybe that's because we've been spoiled by the previous installment's version of grilled lobster tail. We're talking serious char, yo! But this....this one looked more like it was oven roasted (I mean, they even keep the shell attached). Which is fine, since the tail itself was tender and fully cooked. Couldn't really ask for much more than that. Though the menu description is a bit dubious when considering the basis for comparison. Anyway, this one gets an 8 out of 10. Tried the wifey's filet also. Despite her mishap in giving me the fatty piece, the part that mattered was pretty damn good. A solid 8 out of 10 for me. The sides, while not especially remarkable, were fine also. The wife mentioned something about the mac n' queso needing some salt and pepper, but that's it. Oh! But we need to discuss the grilled mushrooms though. These things....were burnt to a crisp. I was honestly shocked! Ordinarily, I like a bit of char on my grilled goodies. But these mushrooms were burnt, dry as day-old apricots on the inside, and basically inedible. I have no idea if the kitchen staff even have the ability to maybe cook these less next time, but we didn't ask, since we were too busy enjoying everything else anyway. Overall, I'd recommend checking this place out, if for no other reason than to support another local business. Most of the necessary safety precautions are in place, minus the daft couple sitting literally two feet away from us (not really the restaurant's fault). I'm gonna give Borderland Steakhouse 4 grilled lobster tails which taste suspiciously oven roasted out of 5.

The garden salad and Caesar salad were ok but nothing to write home about. My companion had the grilled shrimp with Mac and Queso, it was ok, but the shrimp was over cooked. The Ribeye is where it fell apart, over seasoned, extremely over cooked - I ordered it medium rare, and the meat was dark through, extremely gristly, and pockets of salt throughout. Honestly one of the worst steaks I have had - we keep wanting to like this steakhouse because it's the closest restaurant to our home but it's just getting worse.

We were lied to the minute we walked in. We were told it would be a 10-minute wait. It was about a 25-minute wait. The server was nice until after seating us, as she decided not to serve us. She got our drink orders wrong and delivered them to the wrong guests. We had to play the matching game by sipping each other's drinks. And she never came by to refill. We had to ask. It took forever for us to order our food. And our food didn't get to us until almost an entire hour after ordering. Ummm that was horrible. We were sitting for almost two hours before food got to us. Two of our orders of steaks were ordered as medium-rare, and our steaks were dry AF. I told the waitress that we wanted a new steak, and she brought back the steak while flashing a flashlight over it to defend her cook, saying it is medium-rare and to look at it again. Never have I ever experienced a flashlight being used over our food to prove a non-valid point. At this point, I was so freakin hungry that I did not want to argue, and so I ate the dry steak. Do yourself a favor and take a drive to Victoria's Steakhouse. We were there a couple of days prior to visiting this restaurant and they have the perfect medium rare steak! Lol I wish that I could compare photos but didn't take any. Don't visit this place. You have been warned by myself and so many other reviews.

Parking lot was crazy busy on a Thursday evening. I recommend making a reservation if you are looking to dine in on an evening or on the weekend. I can't say I'd recommend anything we got. The entrees had such potential but were not executed well. If you're looking for a plate to knock your socks off, avoid this place. If you're looking for a fun atmosphere , this place will provide that. My favorite part of the meal was the free bread and roasted spread. For the price, this place should do better. Hostess was very warm and welcoming. Our server was friendly but rushing around and needed to slow down. He ended up bringing us the wrong wine. And it was awkward telling him that's not what we ordered. An honest mistake on a busy night so we weren't mad but it's still awkward for everyone.
