Cattleman's Steakhouse at Indian Cliffs Ranch - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

My husband and I love cattleman's and have gone about once a year for a few years now. The food quality is usually good, but this last time we went (29 AUG) I was shocked at how horrible their ribs came out. I've ordered ribs many times and they always come out perfect, falling off of the bone. This time they were overcooked and it was a struggle to get the meat off of the bone, and it was so burnt that it felt like it didn't have much meat. For how pricey cattleman's is, I was disappointed. I still love their bottomless sides, but I will likely take my business elsewhere.

It was worth the money and the drive. The food was delicious and filling! Had we had the time to go through it all I'm sure it would have been better!

Wonderful place with lots of animals amd amazing food and service! 10/10

The food was amazing. The thickest, juiciest, most tender steak I've had in El Paso, maybe even my life. Honestly an amazing dining experience.

Fantastic steakhouse in a beautiful setting! The NY Strip was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. Loved the baked potato and that they had 3 different ways I could add jalapeños to it. Opted for fresh diced jalapeños & enjoyed cranking up the heat alongside a little butter, bacon & chives. Friendly service in a nicely decorated dining room also made for a fantastic experience! Looking forward to returning whenever I’m in El Paso!

Great way to celebrate a Birthday and eat some of the best steak dinners any where

Came here for a celebratory dinner on a Friday night. They don't accept reservations, so suggested arriving shortly before opening at 5pm for a party of 20. This was good advice as we were immediately seated at a large table upon opening. There's an inside lobby which was opened before the restaurant actually opened. The restaurant is massive with multiple sitting areas and many large tables. In the lobby, there's a glass case showcasing the various cuts of steaks and their respective sizes. In addition to the steaks, they do salmon and some BBQ options. Prior to the meal, we started off with some drinks and some bread. For the meals, we ordered many different cuts from the Ribeye, Filet Mignon, T-Bone, New York Strip, Top Sirloin. In addition to the steaks, we did have 1 order of the Beef Ribs. With all the steaks, they come with coleslaw and beans. Since we had a large party, they just brought out several large bowls of each. Service was extremely fast, friendly, and efficient. They had multiple staff members constantly bringing food and drinks to the table and making sure we didn't need anything else. Their teamwork was impressive in taking care of a party of 20. They did a great job of answering many questions related to the menu and options. All orders were brought out together in about 15 minutes. Each steak was cooked perfectly as ordered. They got every order right from the wellness to any additional toppings ordered. I wanted to try some of their desserts and ice cream sodas, but was too full from the steaks. Afterwards, it was nice to walk around the grounds to see the animals and sights. This is a must visit if you're in the El Paso area. I look forward to my next trip.

Overpriced. I've had better steaks at Sizzler, Bonanza, or Ponderosa. If you want a high caliber beef dinner in the El Paso or Las Cruces area, try the Cattle Baron that serves aged steaks & prime rib. Everything served was very pedestrian. The baked potato should have been coated with olive oil & rock salt. Instead of a mushy roll they should offer Texas Toast. Given the square footage here, a self serve salad bar should be an option. The only way this place pulls people in is because of it's proximity to I-10. I've patronized steak houses across the country & Cattleman's is bottom of the barrel. I'm a medical sales rep that hosts educational dinner programs for Doctors at high end steakhouses. Perhaps my expectations were too high based on steak dinners at Ruth's Chris or Morton's. For a family on a budget, this place is a cut above hamburgers, although Outback or Longhorn is a better value.

Always good had the cowboy and mushrooms

Steaks, desserts and service were excellent. Sides were marginal and bread rolls were from last Thanksgiving I think🤔 !

A little more expensive than elsewhere, but if you love steak, you should definitely visit the ranch!

Amazing steaks! The filet practically melted. The t-bone was juicy and delicious. We will definitely be back!

Cowboy was well seasoned and medium well. Very good. Service was excellent and didn't wait long

A place in the desert, where, going a little earlier you can enjoy the animals that are in the surroundings, goats, rabbits, snakes, ostrich, etc. Good food, good service and a very pleasant atmosphere

I went for my birthday dinner and i had a horrible expirience with the staff. We had a total of 10 people in our party. When the first 3 people arrived (including myself) we tried to put our name down while the rest of the party arived. The Restaurant was more than half empty with A LOT of empty tables. The person told us we couldn't get a table while the rest of our party arrived (when clearly there was again A LOT of empty tables). Then we asked if they could put the birthday cake in one of theyre refrigerators so it would not melt. The person in the front again rudly said no. Once our full party got there they seated us. Once we were seated the waiter came and started to take our drink order but since we had been waiting for a long time we all knew what we wanted. We all told the waiter we were ready to order and he just ignored us. So we all though he didnt hear us so we again told him we were ready to order our food not only our drinks, and at that point he just responded "im not taking your order yet, just the drinks." I have been to other places where if the people are ready to order food not only drinks they take the full order. The food came out in a timely manner and it was good but i will think twice before going again here. The drive is far, and then made to wait when there is so many empty tables, and then to be talked to like that by the staff. I remember this place being very diffrent but I am starting to see why half the restaurant was empty on a saturday evening.

The absolute best steak in Texas!

One of the best steakhouses I have ever been to!! That’s why I keep coming back every time I’m in EP!!

Excellent attention and especially the food

Cattleman’s Steakhouse at Indian Cliffs Ranch is a fantastic destination for a celebratory meal, and we had the perfect experience there for my dad's birthday. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance set the tone for a memorable evening, with rustic decor that complements the beautiful ranch setting. The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the steaks. Each cut was cooked to perfection, showcasing the rich flavors and tenderness that only high-quality beef can offer. Service was exceptional, especially given our large party. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring that our glasses were never empty and that we had everything we needed without any hiccups. They handled our orders with ease and made sure that every detail was taken care of, allowing us to focus on enjoying the celebration. Overall, Cattleman’s Steakhouse provided an unforgettable experience filled with delicious food and impeccable service. It was the ideal setting for a family gathering, and my dad's birthday was truly special thanks to this wonderful restaurant. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy a fantastic steak in a beautiful ranch setting!

One of the best steakhouse, but there none-steak items leave a little to be desired.

It's as good as they say! I got the Lady's filet. The meat is very tender and the grounds are beautiful. They could get some more comfortable chairs and renovate the restrooms.

This has to be the best Steakhouse in the Universe!!! The atmosphere was perfect and the staff was amazing. Go there!!

Best Porterhouse steak there is; home grown. Bring an appetite.

We had not been back in years. There is so much more to see and the sunset and scenery were perfect. Truly enjoyed our steaks! They were perfectly delicious. We also had dessert to top off our anniversary dinner. We plan on coming back soon.

Incredible place, highly recommended. All delicious food, comfortable and pleasant spaces to spend time with family.

Excellent filet cooked to order! Pineapple slaw was uninspired, rolls were cold and dry, corn on the cob was overcooked. Ambience was ok, interior furnishings were outdated but not yet antique, the small outdoor zoo was sketch,

One of the best steaks I had. Cooked perfect. Pineapple Cole slaw was different in a good way

It is always amazing. They do a wonderful job. Our waitress (Valerie) is so amazing. Every time we get her she is a full customer service waitress. Love you guys.

Cattleman’s has been our family tradition for as long as I can remember, and it’s always been my go-to spot for special occasions. Unfortunately, our visit on Saturday, 08/10/2024, was far from the exceptional experience we’ve come to expect. The service was lacking, especially given the high prices, and the burger I ordered was disappointing—the meat was flavorless and the bread stale. To make matters worse, we saw a roach entering the restaurant as we walked in. Also we found a bug in our bread and waitress basically brushed it off like it happens all the time. We got no apology.This was truly unsettling and added to the overall poor experience. I hope this feedback prompts some much-needed improvements.

Been coming to cattleman's since 1981.. Used to be very good. I understand post covid, everything went up. But Jesus, $60 for a steak? Ok no problem. But the quality of the meat and taste have gone also. The steak wasn't hot. It tasted bland and the steak fries were barely warm. The $6 corn on the cob was mushy and the coleslaw smelled like dirty feet. The service was great. Our waiter, was running around like a chicken without its head. He did great, but they really need to hire more waiters. I'm sad because this place is iconic but the food has taken a deep dive. I'll still be back but I'd rather go to Great American on Yarbrough.. They're steaks are better seasoned and their bread is amazing. Don't let my opinion stop you from heading to cattleman's. You should form your own opinion.

Delicious steaks and a great view. The place is beautiful and it has a second to none customer service.

The best steak house i have ever had

The bread was stale, like old...but the meat and coleslaw were delicious.

Been a few years since my last visit, but over 20 years it had the same atmosphere and excellent quality food.

Wonderful experience and even better food

It has always been a very pleasant experience to be there!!

Once again, one of my favorites. The steak was perfect and the trimmings were plentiful.

We showed Up at 8 pm and they gave us a Amazing table with Chairs that are Plus Size Friendly and they gave us Amazing Service We Felt Welcomed and Comfortable! Food was Amazing!

Outstanding steaks !! but sides not the same, baked potato tasted burnt, dry bread, pineapple coleslaw was good, beans too sweet for my taste, green chile was not fresh, more of a canned one, excellent service and atmosphere, place is very beautiful decorated and comfy.

The most fantastic steak of my life. Pecan pie was to die for. Staff was extremely polite.

Food was not as good as I remember it years back

Steak and sides were cooked perfectly!

Very good beef ribs and pineapple cold slaw.

Going there for 40 years. Excellent streaks and atmosphere. They are going cheap on the 🍞 bread, low quality. Cole slaw and beans are great, as usual. Best experience to see everything around the restaurant as well.

I don’t recommend coming here because once you do every other steakhouse will suck. Their food is incredible and service is just as amazing!!!!

The. Service. Was excellent. And the. Food. Was. Great. A nice place. For. Dine

Can't beat the quality of the aged steaks. Service was average, nothing unexpected. Good atmosphere especially if you time your dinner right to view the sunset from the west patio. Cattleman's has always been very consistent and never disappoints.

Great food and service. Fun place for Family

It is one of my favorite restaurants, I think it is number one, I always recommend it.

The Steak was to small, I strongly believe that I ordered a bigger Steak

No issues with the service or atmosphere. The food was bland and not very warm. We ordered the lady filet. It was undercooked, I sent it back. It had more fat than a filet is supposed to have and it was tough to eat. We were just visiting family and had our hopes up for a great meal. Disappointed.

I’ve always gone to cattlemen’s with my family and have never had any problems, however, this time I decided to go with my boyfriend and Yvette or Evette however her name is and some other girl with pigtails helping her with drinks were being very disrespectful and rude to me, I would say thank you and they wouldn’t even say your welcome and not only that but when asking my boyfriend if he wanted a refill they would treat him with respect and address him as sir they would even ask if he wanted a refill but with me they would just go up to the table and give it to me and that was it they wouldn’t address me and when I would say thank you she just walked away and this happened every single time she got me a refill. I saved money so my boyfriend and I could have a good dinner that I could pay for and instead I got treated with disrespect for no reason. Not only that but we hardly got checked on compared to other tables around us but the experience made me not feel welcomed at all. Very disappointing considering how expensive cattlemen’s is.

Absolutely amazing place ! Food. Drinks and views !

Delicious Food, great atmosphere.

The food was simply amazing. The meat was cooked to perfection, the mushroom side dish was perfectly on spot. Highly recommend to anyone in the area or bypassing. The only downside is lil bit pricy, expect to spend 35-50$ per person. Also a bonus there us a small zoo in addition the the restaurant

The best place for a steak in El Paso.

This is THE place to eat if you are looking for great steak in Texas. The variety is amazing and you get to taste very tasty side dishes. I ordered the shrimp and steak. These dishes come with coleslaw, cream cheese and beans. You can choose baked potatoes or rice. They also have alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. The service was great and the food was very tasty. After we had lunch we went for a tour in the ranch behind the restaurant, we food horses, buffaloes, lamas, goats, deers among others. At the end of the ranch you will find a beautiful lake with 3 tents. Great place to go with the kids and enjoy an afternoon.

Atmosphere was great service was great. I ordered a fillet they gave me a sirloin. The waiter said it was a fillet it was not.

Over the many years the food and service at Cattleman's Steakhouse has been consistently excellent. Last night was no different. The lobster and steak were cooked to perfection and were delicious! Our server, Patty, was professional, friendly, and all about making our evening a great experience. It is well worth the drive for a special occasion or if you have out-of-town visitors....or just want a great steak. 😁

Best steak in the United States. Not even exagerating. Restaurant is huge. With 3 seperate rooms. Great for family dinner or date night. Has a zoo out back with a roping arena. Love this place and make a point everytime im in el paso to go.

The service was more than you could expect. The people are so friendly and the food........ was so perfect. Best steak ever, and those spicy beans. Omg I want so more right now. I don't even want to get started on the coleslaw. Putting pineapple in it was a brilliant idea. Can't wait to come back

This place is amazing! Totally didn’t realize it offered more than just an amazing restaurant with 10/10 food. Menu is phenomenal, food portions are perfect for the price, all you can eat baked beans/rolls/& coleslaw is WOW! You get free admission to see the animals, which includes the lake walk/deer den/and so much more. Overall I highly recommend this place. So much offered with beautiful sights all around.

One of my best dining experiences in years. The ribeye steak was perfect. A little out of the way but worth the drive.

Had to check this place out while visiting the area after hearing it was awarded "Manliest Steakhouse" and the men in our group were certainly pleased! Portions were huge and delicious, and the wait staff was friendly and did an excellent job. We enjoyed walking around the zoo while we waited for our table as well as after our meal to help us digest all that delicious food!!

What a gem of a place! Food was great, set ice was greater! Lots of stuff to see for young or old kids.

Best steakhouse handsdown never disappoints

Love the layout and atmosphere of Cattleman's. I see why it's a go to destination if in the El Paso area. Tried the Cowboy steak and was not disappointed. And the staff was great, went expecting seating for 12, quickly got us settled in with an additional 3 people no problem.

Food is delicious, although I prefer a 1/2” to a thick cut simply because edges can be crispy & flavorful. OMG the coleslaw is delicious! Ranch beans yumm baked potatoes 🥔 roasted good, I like them more roasted but they are good. The corn 🌽 on the cob was delicious but it was too small for the price. I’d say more like $3 not $5.95. Service was very good. Drinks were promptly refilled. Wait staff regularly stopped by in case we needed anything. The ambiance is awesome. Corralitos needs to take note. Their Doniphan location is a warehouse with mattresses on the walls. Used to be my favorite. No more!

The cuts are good and juicy. Good aspect. The beans look like they come from a can, the coastlof is good. But NEVER GO FOR MOTHERS, FATHER'S DAY OR FEBRUARY 14TH. It's chaos. Very helpful waiters and assistants.

A classic old west ranch ambience with great food. My filet mignon was a nit stringy but otherwise delicious.

Plenty of food! Nice atmosphere and wait staff were just as good as the food!

Best steakhouse in the El Paso area with the best location.

If you work for a school you should definitely schedule and fundraise a field trip here; spend less time walking the trails and more with their petting zoo area and the kiddie playground. Be sure to take some extras, they give the kids a hot dog each. I've been here before for company lunches I never knew about the movies that were shot there, the guy that owns it has a lot more land around there than it seems. Take a trip during the day and ask for the tour. They'll probably take you in the tractor or you can ask if you can drive around make sure you take a truck or SUV that can handle a dirt trail.

Great place to have a juicy steak and bring friends and family from out of town. The theme is western cowboy and the installations are amazing. I had the ribeye steak, one of the best steaks in town. They have a drink called mango paleta, amazing. I highly recommend you pay a visit.

Best wagyu beef or steak in general in Texas, if not in the USA. Highly recommended.

GREAT food and friendly service, makes me smile writing this.

Superb steak and outstanding atmosphere and history.

Excellent place, excellent food, very well organized to serve many people quickly. It includes a zoo and a lake as an additional attraction.

Everything was amazing! It was a long wait but well worth it.

Okay, so the steak and most of the sides, but let's not joke, you are coming for the ambience, the ranch, and the animals. Incredible experience all around. I must stop anytime you are out in the El Paso area.

Came here for my birthday and it exceeded my expectations. Our waitress was pleasant but our drink server was beyond attentive which I appreciate. Since it wasn't many of us we were seated very quickly which I was appreciative because there were a lot of people in the lobby area. Once leaving I noticed the place offer more than just a restaurant. So one day I will have to go back and explore the ranch.

This is a must stop for the family. Superb food

I'm a worker at cattlemens and I've only been there for a short time and I can say people expect this place to be gourmet when it's just a very popular place to get food to fill you up and plus I get 50 percent off so it's wonderful recommend it

As always, it was delicious! We had excellent service, didn't have to wait even though it was Father's Day.

Good place, it was very crowded but the staff was very friendly, it is worth the trip in the little truck

A must do if you are ever in the El Paso area. It’s about a 30-40 minute drive from El Paso and well worth the drive.

Definitely worth the trip out to the ranch!! I had the shrimp and steak.

Awesome place for the "KINGS RAMSON" Steak & BIG LOBSTER. Enjoyed every bite & fixing beans & coleslaw plus the corn on the cob were all so tasty!!! ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆▪︎▪︎☆

Delicious food. I had a wonderful time

The food, service, and atmosphere were all outstanding.

The fountain drinks weren't good at all (flat) and water wasn't great either. Butter was frustrating because it was too cold and you couldn't spread it easily. Steaks were fantastic! One of the best ive ever had. Service was awesome. Venue was incredible. We loved the animals. I'd probably go back.

The food was amazing, restaurant was very clean and the staff was friendly. The only complaint I have is that our waiter never came back to check on us to see if we wanted anything else, which we did.

Great restaurant, you gotta try it! It's one of those off the beaten path places that will amaze you. Trust me you won't be disappointed! 👍👍👍💯

This is an El Paso area must. Heading west from home we plan around getting to Cattleman's Steakhouse.

Great food. Fabulous service!! You could dress up or not. But Shoes and shirt required. I would not consider it fine dinning. Its a steak house/ family restaurant atmosphere fun for all ages.

Steak was amazing, service was top-notch! Walking around the old movie sets and feeding animals on ranch was awesome. The pineapple coleslaw was something I can't even put into words! So many films have been filmed here! It's a whole Vibe!!! The drive from El Paso is so worth it- even if you start to wonder if you are going out in the boondocks- just trust me, keep going and it's there! It's open and just looks closed at the entrance! The restaurant is towards the back!

La chuleta was chido one, and walking around after and seeing the animals was 👍

Our waitress Kait was attentive, efficient and so knowledgeable. Our steaks were cooked to perfection, the baked potatoes were perfect and everything else was top notch. Our view was absolutely awesome and I can't wait until the next visit. I also want to make mention the unique dessert we had called "Queen Sheba" and it was delicious!

Read up a lot on this place and decided we had to try it while visiting El Paso. It is about a 35 minute drive from downtown El Paso but is well worth the drive. The steaks were really great for the price that they are charging. Very reasonable. The dinner comes with pineapple coleslaw, bread, and baked beans, all of which are all you can eat. The best part is that after you finish eating you can go burn off that giant steak that you just had by visiting their small zoo which is behind the restaurant. We had fun walking along and interacting with the animals. We made good friends with 2 super friendly horses. Would definitely recommend and it is worth the drive which is actually pretty scenic if you do it before it gets dark!

Had the full rack of ribs (beef) sharing it with my wife with all the fixings.
