One of the Best

[HoLeChit]

Out of all the Cattlemen's haters, I haven't seen one explanation why they think it's icky.

Let's hear it.

Now in another thread titled something like "where's the best steak in OKC?' or something, a few people said it wasn't seasoned enough, which is trailer park speak for not enough salt has been dumped on it.

I just haven’t had a steak there that would make me put it on my list of good steak houses. I usually order the ribeye or the presidential. Everything I’ve had there is on par with say Santa Fe or salt grass. Typically we’re looking at choice quality at best, usually pretty tough. As a result, if I’m wanting a good steak, cattleman’s rarely comes to mind. A shame really, because I love the place. Everything else is good. Where they really shine is breakfast. I love their breakfast, and in my book you can’t beat a mediocre steak with some eggs and toast. Honestly, from the perspective value on the dollar, overall price, and all that, Cattleman’s has the best steak and eggs on the planet, outside of my house. You can’t go anywhere and get a good breakfast and a “real” steak for under $40.

I might go get breakfast at cattleman’s this morning now. I’m wanting some steak and eggs.

Been to cattlemens about 6 times spaced out over the years. Only the last 3 times in the past 20 years can really remember about the steak. Meduim ribeye overcooked and little tough. Not much marbling and cut little too thin. More like an all night diner steak. Not that it was icky just not something too recommend.

I have never had a bad meal there. Steaks, lamb fries, salad with their house dressing. Like every other restaurant they have cut quality. I have had their chicken fry and catfish also.
I preferred Cimarron Steak on Meridian that closed. Big porterhouse cooked with mesquite .More bang for the dollar. We have been to about every one around, Mahogany is also good but pricey.

Same question, did you send it back? Or did you just suck it up and eat it and be unhappy?

only because you don't know what good steak tastes like. those fancy pants sissy steaks they sell at prime and the like are what frenchie frenchmen eat

I dont even know what this means? Prime as in a cut?
I have never ate at cattleman’s, by looking at the plate most of it is frozen, that tells a lot about the steak. Then again we eat our own beef and grow most of vegetables.

Used to be my go to for my birthday dinner, but the last two times I went they over cooked my steak. Hopefully these new cooks can learn.

I have feeling they are not cooks…

I have never ate at any of these places, if a place advertises that it has quality or amazing food, for me I look at the quality of the vegetables first. Frozen, precut, canned?
Then the salad- if they use iceberg lettuce and claim they have quality better get up and leave.

Tbh I never send food back. If I can eat it I will, if not we leave. If we choose to leave, we don’t pay. Simple.

Wife and I have tried Cattleman's a couple of times. Definitely not impressed, but then, we were used to home grown beef.

Same here
