A thin piece of overcooked, chicken and potatoes
Tara S S.

Really sad excuse of a meal and even worse employees. The host has walked around. Smacking gum are coming from the back, chewing food. The kitchen is sort of open to the restaurant, and the staff sits there and congregate in one particular server was cussing at the kitchen crew and being really loud. It's obvious that they don't prefer singles because the table next to me, a party of six got a lot of attention from the manager seeing how they were doing and I got completely ignored. I got sat next to the meat counter. And look at my food this is a pathetic display of food a tiny overcooked piece of chicken and a popper mashed potatoes no garnish. The gravy was quite bland and in a plastic cup really people you can do better. Who knows maybe I was checking the place out for a party of 50 but I wouldn't bring them here now. Don't treat me like a single invisible person.

My reservation

To start off, I had reserved a table for three people on a Friday night at around 830, we had a younger girl closer to my age (20 years old) sat on the eastern side of the bar. First off the girl took about 5 minutes to just take our drink order, I would suggest knowing what you want at your drink order because the food does take a while. After that the girl took another 5-6 minutes (I timed it) to just bring our waters, keep in mind she only had three tables including us and the other two already had there food. I will also note that through out me eating my meal, my glass of water was completely empty two times while she only had one other table at the time of the second half of the visit. We had ordered the queso dip with sub steak tips and corn tortillas as an appetizer, the appetizer itself was pretty good but the corn tortillas were pretty freaking dry. Before I start on to the main course, I have been to the West Texas on the West side of El Paso multiple times and I love it but I can't say the same for this one. Now on to the main course, I had a Porterhouse (Medium Rare) a baked potato loaded and a side Mac of cheese, my friends had gotten a New York and the Filet with the same sides. The smaller side of my steak was perfect but once I cut into the larger side of the steak it had turned to Medium Well and was very tough, my Mac and cheese was good but compared to the other West Texas, the bowl was noticeably smaller and also wasn't even hot. When I usually get the potato at the other West Texas I'm able to eat the whole thing, skin and all but this time the potato was damn near burnt and was a struggle to take a bite of. I had asked for a steak with no fat and luckily I got that but compared to the other West Texas it was also noticeably smaller so what difference did it make (a $50 dollar steak). As someone who is currently working at a popular restaurant, the service was very mid, I could have 8 tables at once and still get my tables what they need in a timely and orderly fashion, the greet time for a table SHOULD be a minute or less and drinks should always be filled unless told otherwise. I wish I had caught the waitresses name just so that she and the restaurant can know not that they would care. Overall things were still tasty but in comparison to the other West Texas I would say it was a 1/5 while the other is a 4.5/5, 5/5 if we're talking about taste. Both West Texas's have a nice ambience but the other one is much more spacious. All three of us combined the bill was $179, mine was $61 something. Due to the service being completely unacceptable I left her $9 (I had no ones) and the other two left nothing and $4. Lastly, I would strongly suggest making the trip to the West side restaurant no matter where you are in El Paso. (Unfortunately I do not have Snapchat+ so I couldn't share any photos of the food)

We had a large party and they seated us in a private room near the front. We had great service from Liz. The food was served all at once no one was waiting for theirs. The food was good. I have the ascedero green chili burger. There was a mixup with the cooking temperature. But they graciously replaced it. Chili poblano soup was fantastic. I recommend everyone to try it not too spicy but very tasty. The drinks were spot on, and the wine that I had the sweet red was absolutely fabulous ! Everyone had a very good time and I can't wait to go back! Reservations are a good idea .

Messy sauces
Jacob L.

Generally pretty good but this last time, and very touchy feely male waiter that made the girls feel uncomfortable. Plus, messy sauce containers. See photo. The FIFA game was on so, that was good. Food is a 4. The waiter and the sauces, 1.5 maybe a 2.

Service is always nice and friendly. Ambiance is peaceful and nice. Sports on the TV on a Sunday so it's perfect. This is the most consistent steak restaurants in El Paso IMO. Usually cooked perfectly. Great variety of drinks. Today I was a little disappointed. I paid for dehydrated grasslike asparagus. With the quality of this restaurant I'm really surprised they served and charged for the asparagus. It was like dry grass. I've never seen asparagus like that in the store let alone served at a quality restaurant. My steak was a little undercooked for half the steak. Their heat wasn't consistent. Half my steak was cooked perfect medium and the other half was rare. There was a lot of grizzle in this steak today. It was my only bad experience for food out of many visits. I still recommend but I was disappointed today. Service was great as always though.

Stopped in for dinner with a coworker on a work trip. The restaurant was pretty close to full, but we were seated right away. I'm not sure if our server was new or just in the weeds. I would've rated a four without the subpar service. My old fashioned was great. I ordered a ribeye and was pretty sure it wasn't when it hit the table. Our server seemed a little overwhelmed with what seemed like a very demanding six top seated behind us. My steak had a good flavor and temperature. When my bill came it was less than I expected. That's when I noticed I was charged for a sirloin. I was thinking my ribeye was pretty lean. Mystery solved. Very nice dining room and decor. Music wasn't too loud, and lights weren't too bright. Pretty sure this was my first time here. I would be willing to give it another shot.

$8.00 flight of beers. 4/5 stars
Chris R.

If you're in El Paso, Texas, and someone suggests Cattleman's Steakhouse, save your time and money--go to West Texas Chophouse instead. We ordered the New York and top sirloin cuts, and both were absolutely delicious, cooked to perfection at medium rare. The atmosphere was warm, comfortable, and inviting. Our waitress, Jolene, was outstanding--her service was spot on and really elevated the experience. The only area I'd suggest for improvement is at the host stand. The three young ladies working the front weren't very welcoming, and their approach to customer service didn't quite match the otherwise excellent vibe of the restaurant. Overall, I highly recommend West Texas Chophouse if you're looking for a great steak and a great dining experience in El Paso

Alex's Philly Cheesesteak

At 59, I'm ticking off a bucket list item. Driving across America. I am currently in El Paso, TX having started in Tampa, FL and will end up in Fresno, CA. so, I have been thinking about steak & West Texas Chophouse looks very good. Indeed, they lived up to their Yelp reviews. I had a 20 oz. Bone in Ribeye (the way God intended ) cooked medium with backed potato. I won't be slapping my mother but I will call her later this evening , to sing the praises of this excellent piece of meat. Particularly the char. It is the best I have ever had. If this placed served a dish that consisted of nothing but the end pieces (where they hug the bone) I would have to consider moving here. That char was perfectly blackened & bursting with flavor. The baked potato (which was backed in an oven & NOT microwaved) was very good also. The Alex's Philly Cheesecake was not as good as the steak but it got the job done. I sat at the bar so the service was immediate but the unsweetened tea tasted like I was the second person who drank some all day. This place is large (it has 'Texas' right in the name!) & because you have to do parking lot gymnastics in the full parking lot, I expected a little wait on this hot Sunday afternoon. Happily there was no wait. It has a high barn-like roof that amplifies customers talking to a semi-comfortable background cacophony but the steak was so good I entered into my own little world. The only down side was that the steak & especially the backed potato could have been a little hotter. If I ever wander through these parts again, I will definitely return. 4-stars

12oz rib eye and loaded bake potatoe
Lila P.

Service- Friday night dinner wait was only 5 minutes. However, big group wait was about 30 minutes. Angel, server, very nice and prompt with drinks. Angel, server, must have been in training because he was slow in coming back with a requested such such pepper, more ranch etc. It was a busy place, But you gotta up your game on busy nights. Ambiance- I like the decor with the full size trees with lights and white leaves. Noise level way to LOUD! I really enjoyed the upbeat country music. Food- muscato by the glass is always sweet just like it (Paolona, Italy). House salad could have been better. It was a large size and only two 1/4 tomatoes. 12 oz rib-eye medium rare was out of this world. Moist, savory and tender. Baked potato was big and was ok.

Dinner here is good, not great. My 8 ounce Filet Mignon was slightly overcooked and looked silly next to the biggest loaded baked potato I've ever seen. The potato was undercooked and there were hardly any toppings. The bone marrow is very tasty, but sparse. The wine list is well curated domestic. Service was very good.

Julius mentioned that he has worked at Cattleman's for five years, and I really appreciate seeing a business that retains its employees. Hopefully that's a reflection of how well they treat their staff, because the service we received was outstanding. Employees like Adalia and Julius are what truly make a restaurant memorable. The food was just as impressive as the service. Our steaks were cooked to perfection, and Julius recommended ordering the herbed butter and the Tampiqueña topping on the side. I am so grateful he suggested that because it was absolutely delicious and the perfect complement to the steak. He also helped several people in our group choose their meals, and every single recommendation was spot on. I honestly don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu, but I also don't think I would have enjoyed my meal nearly as much without his thoughtful suggestions. Every side dish was excellent, from the baked potatoes, corn, beans, coleslaw, and fresh bread to the incredible desserts that finished off the meal perfectly. Beyond the amazing food and exceptional service, we loved the atmosphere of the ranch. The views were beautiful, I had a blast feeding the animals, and seeing the film history added such a unique touch to the experience. Overall, this was a fantastic dining experience in every way. Great food, outstanding service, beautiful surroundings, and a fun atmosphere. If you're visiting the area, Cattleman's is an absolute must-visit!

This restaurant is very unassuming and a hidden gem that is located in a strip mall. From the exterior, it's hard to know what to expect but when you walk in the restaurant, it's got a good ambience to it. It could make for a romantic date night, dinner or more casual dining experience at the bar, Overall it was a very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere. They offer booth seating, romantic table seating for two or more and seating at the bar. The hostess and the servers were very attentive. We received excellent service from the bar as well. The drink that I chose was a Side Car and coming from LA, we have great Mixology, but I have to say that this drink blew me away. And could possibly be one of the best whiskey cocktails I've had in a long time! It was so well, balanced, and perfectly crafted. We ordered the mussels and the fish of the day which was the trout in a lemon wine caper sauce. Both were absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. For dessert, we ordered both the chocolate mousse and the crème brûlée. I did not try the chocolate mousse, but my daughter said it was amazing. The crème brûlée was also perfectly made. The server, Bruléd at the table and that was a nice touch. I have had a lot of crème brûlée desserts and have my top five and I have to say this was probably on the list. So happy that we stumbled upon this place and I will probably be visiting one more time before I go back home. I highly recommend it!

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.

One of the best parts? You get the full menu at the bar, so you're not missing a thing. We started with the veal ravioli, which received the highly technical and thoroughly researched review of: "So f*ing good. So good though..." Honestly, no additional notes were needed. Then came the 8-ounce filet, potatoes au gratin, and creamed spinach. Everything was excellent. The filet was cooked perfectly, the sides were rich and flavorful, and those famous sizzling plates reminded us that patience is, in fact, a virtue. The portions won. We ended up packing up leftovers and taking dessert to go--a carrot cake and crème brûlée. I've had the carrot cake before and can confirm it's worth the hype. The fact that we were stuffed and still ordered dessert says everything you need to know. What really stood out, though, was the overall experience. The customer service was fantastic, the vibe was relaxed, and the atmosphere hit that sweet spot: lively enough to feel like you're out enjoying yourself, but not so loud that you're shouting across the bar. No awkward silence, no overwhelming noise--just comfortable. If you're headed to Ruth's Chris at The Fountains at Farah, don't overlook the bar. Great food, great service, great atmosphere, and if you're lucky enough to land a seat with Cruzita--Baby Cross herself--you're already off to a great start. Five stars from me and from the person still talking about that ravioli.

This steakhouse IS NO LONGER WORTH THE MONEY SPENT! Honest…read morereview because it used to be our favorite! $503.00 bill for 3 people: 1 6oz filet special for $60.00... included French onion soup that had way too much sugar????? (WHY) and a small cheesecake dessert. 1 Ribeye for $70. 1 Sirloin for ? Not sure 1 bottle of Caymus wine $100. Yes we splurged on that to go with the great steaks (we thought!) 2 salads Steaks had NO FLAVOR!!!! Had to send mine back because it came mooing to the table.... This will be our last visit to a Ruth Chris, we can truly get just as good a steak and more flavorful someplace else! Sad for us, so disappointed.
