Cattle Baron

I’ve eaten here about 10 times and it’s a pretty good steakhouse. The main reason for 3 stars is the prices. It’s not a fancy restaurant and although the steaks are good they’re not great.
The first time I had the chicken fried steak it was awesome. So I ordered it the next time and it wasn’t as good. I’ve had it 2 more times and it’s good but not great.
$ 21+ for an 8oz prime rib and 8 French fries is a lot. If it wasn’t for the ample salad bar it would be a bad deal. The salad bar is huge, but the most important part, the salad, was old and wilted; this was at 6pm on a Thursday.
Staff was fast and friendly.

Great meat. The ribeye was juicy and with great taste. Salad bar very large and diverse. Bread not that good. Service was very good!
Muy buena la carne. El ribeye jugoso y de muy buen sabor. La barra de ensaladas muy variada y grande. El pan no muy bueno. El servicio excelente.

They have the best prime rib in El Paso and one of the best I’ve ever had. Seriously, if you like steak you HAVE to order it, medium rare of course! Aside from that, they have the biggest and best salad bar in town. I would go there just for the salad bar because it’s so good and has about 70 options.
Please don’t review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you’re connected in any way to the owner or employees.

I’ll apologize in advance as this can be viewed as an uninformed review, after all I did not sample the steak or seafood as the name implies is their specialty.
I have dinner here every time I visit El Paso, and I have the same meal every time. This salad bar is fab, and the soup never disappoints, which was tortilla his visit. Spicy broth with chicken and chiles… of course it demands to be topped with some cheddar-​jack and tortilla strips… I went back for seconds!
To wrap it all up I always have the mud pie. Coffee ice cream on a Oreo crust, topped with whipped cream, hot fudge, and roasted almonds… pick your tongue up off your phone! I always leave stuffed, but the salad burns down quick. Check out the pics and get on in and try it!
Ambiance is barn saloon and prices are in line with expectations.
I always come here, so this one was on the list before there was a list!

So on a whim (might as well say «self inflicted dare»), my wife and I decided to try this restaurant at another location (the one on Joe Battle) in the same city… just to see if the dining experience would be different from last time. I’ll keep this short… as the experience pretty much confirmed that Cattle Baron cannot cook steak to save their own reputation.
This time around, I decided to play it safe and order the lobster tail; because I knew that even though it would most likely be served bland with bland, unsalted butter, I could easily rectify that with a touch of salt on both. The tail itself was cooked nice and tender, so I have little complaints about that.
My wife, however, decided to play the lotto by ordering a filet mignon; and lost big time. She practically had to drown the steak in A1 sauce and yet it still tasted like tangy rubber. The fact that I could visually SEE there was no seasoning on the steak was already a bad sign. I suspect the chef spends more time worrying about how good the grill marks look on the steak rather than bothering to season it. Needless to say, she left half the steak on her plate and proceeded to eat the rest of her shrimp scampi… which was actually quite decent, btw.
One addition we made was to order the crab cake appetizer. Now, when I think of crab cakes, I picture them having tons of crab meat in them. However, these crab cakes were about…50% bread crumbs. WAY too much bread to even be considered a crab cake. As for the mixture overall, it was bland (of course)…not to mention the fact that they don’t even serve it with any remoulade sauce. What a disappointment!
Overall, this confirmed that the recipes for Cattle Baron are locked in. In other words, it’s literally in their practice of craft to serve bland, unseasoned steaks with barely seasoned seafood that you more or less have to season yourself. It doesn’t matter which location you go to; they both produce the same mediocre product. This will be our last time going. I didn’t really see anything else on the menu I’d be curious enough to try. Not that it would matter, since this establishment is evidently afraid of seasoning. I guess they assume that A1 sauce is the way to go.

I went 5 stars based on
5 service my waitress was great on 2 separat occasion.
5 value you get alot to eat ! Salad bar is clean and cold with great selection and clean plates. The meat prime rib and steak potatoes are hot and really good.
4 atmosphere, loud but good places usualy are…
5 location and parking make it nice.
So it’s great in class, you can find better but not at these prices. And it’s not French but it will do.

Steakhaus in Flughafen nähe, leider etwas zu viel «Bahnhofs — Atmosphäre» für meinen Geschmack. Der recht große und offene Gastraum ist recht laut und ungemütlich.
Eher ein Restaurant um sich in größeren Gruppen zu treffen als ein gemütlicher Ort für ein Dinner zu zweit.
Positiv fällt die reichhaltige Salatbar auf, hier kann der Gast sich den gewünschten Salt selbst zusammenstellen, die Auswahl war frisch und gut gefüllt. Die Bedienung erfolgte zügig und das Personal war freundlich. Unsere Steaks haben wir wie bestellt bekommen (Medium) und das Fleisch war OK. Preis/​Leistung stimmte.

This place was surprisingly on point!
Easy to get to, right off airway nestled in between the airport and Montana.
Service was friendly and fast.
Food was well prepared, menu selection was pretty large, and pricing was fair.
Establishment was clean and large.
The salad bar was actually impressive. Now understand, I don’t like salads really. So what I’m saying is, they have MORE than just salad at said bar. And with most entrees, it comes with the meal. That’s a no brainer there. I enjoyed it.
Best steak house in town? Nope. But when you’re close, and hungry, skip Applebee’s and give it a try. You won’t be dissatisfied.
*Disclaimer: I’m not really a steak guy. I’m a city boy from San Fran. So I didn’t eat the steak. But still liked the restaurant.

BEST salad bar EVER! I loved it so so much.
I went there for the first time today. I’ve heard good things about their salad bar so I wanted to give it a try. I’m so happy I did. It was the biggest salad bar I’ve seen with many many different kind of salads, beans, soup, and deserts. Before coming in, I was so hungry and wasn’t sure if some salads gonna fill me up but I came out sooo full.
It’s not the kinda salad bar you’d imagine. I’m definitely gonna come back for it again.

I love the salad bar. Always. It really is the best salad bar in town. It has everything including soup and desert. And the staff is constantly keeping it clean and refreshed.
Also recommend the Ginger Ale, which they make fresh there on site. Nice.
Service is always very good, too. However, only 3 stars because:
1) We went several times and EVERY time our food took forever.
2) Food arrived cold or lukewarm.
3) Despite both the wait staff and our party agreeing that it was too cold to sit by the fireplace, (very bad draft of cold air) they still tried to sit us by the fireplace. We asked to move and they moved us just one table over. We probably should have left. Instead we toughed it out wearing our coats. Lame.
I’ll still go back for the salad bar, though.
