Cattle Baron Steak & Seafood

Reviews & Tips

  Food was overpriced and in all honesty, not very tasty.  The salad bar was typical with basically opening cans of vegetables.  Nothing special.  And to top it off, the waitress was extremely rude and not attentive.  Would not recommend this unless you are starving to be abused.

  I'm new in town but I've been total "Cattle Baron" is THE STEAKHOUSE in town.  Well,I describe it as a ramped up version of Ponderosa. (showing my age) no you don't order your steak while going through the line but that's just what it reminds me of.  
  
  On the plus side (for them) we have been there several different days &  times and it appears they are always busy!  With a wait - we usually grab a seat in the bar so we can at least have a drink while we wait.  The service leaves a little to be desired and I think it's just because they don't have enough staff, the servers always seem to be running around headless.
  
  The salad bar on the other hand gets 5 stars - nice selection of salads, 2-3 soups, 2 cheese blocks, and a nice array of salad fixins.  
  
  I don't consider it a steak house but I do love the salad bar and chose to go there often because of it.  Just wish it wasn't always packed at the door and a little faster/better service.
  
  I did have a patty melt on a Sunday afternoon and it was quite good - but how hard is a patty melt? -
  
  I was once there with a party of 8 and the server(male) was just a little too chatty for my liking, it was starting to become intrusive, there is a difference between cordial and nice and telling me your life story when I've never met you before.  Most other visits it's been me plus one and the girls just run around and try to do their jobs.

  Cattle Baron's is not the place for a steak in Hobbs. It hasn't been in a very long time. It has a decent salad bar though. The cocktails are typically good there & on the strong side. Most of the time, I was satisfied--not blown away--but fulfilled with a salad bar and the scampi with a baked potato on the side. I always hoped for better service here. There were times when my party would get a pretty good waitress, but other times they would fail to have our drinks served up quickly. Maybe because it's always fairly busy? The great thing about Cattle Baron's is you are always sure to find a truck taking up at least two spots in their parking lot. :/  Oh, and the table bread is usually pretty good.

  Not worth it for the price - ribeye is dry and the side has nothing to rave on. Salad bar was actually a plus that made me gives out 2 stars. It has a pretty nice full bar with great selection of beer, though.

  We  ate here on a Friday night with 6 of our friends.  The salad bar is a salad bar.  The steaks were tough, and not prepared as ordered, our server was pleasant and polite though.  We won't be going back, as our experience here, and the following night at  the sister restaurant has soured us from the Cattle Baron chain forever.
