About Cattle Baron - steak house in El Paso, Texas

Longtime Western-themed restaurant providing steak, seafood & cocktails, with a salad bar & takeout.

Customer Review Summary

The salad bar at Cattle Baron is highly praised for its fresh ingredients and light dressings. While the steak is described as decent, it is seen as ordinary and lacks a memorable taste. Some diners found the bread dry and hard, and one experience involved an unexpected change of order due to a prime rib shortage. Service is consistently noted as excellent, with friendly staff and engaging servers. Appetizers like wontons received mixed reviews regarding flavor depth. A few reviews highlighted enjoyable entrees like rib plates, juicy steak, and flavorful grilled chicken. Despite some dishes being criticized for blandness, many patrons recommend trying the restaurant at least once. Overall, the atmosphere and service are well appreciated, making it a decent dining option in El Paso.

The salad bar is a standout here! Fresh, diverse ingredients and light dressings make it a refreshing surprise. It even outshone the steak for me. For expats missing fresh greens, this is a must-try. The steak was decent, but it was quite ordinary and didn't leave a memorable taste. The bread was a bit disappointing; dry and hard. Perhaps we're just used to the richer, buttery taste of American bread.

Was almost done with my salad when they told me that they were out of prime rib, so I needed to change my order. 🥺 We enjoyed our evening, and our server was good. Food was okay, some was salty. Maybe we'll try some other items from the menu next time.

Spending New Year's in El Paso, I was doubtful there will be any restaurants available but I was wrong and the start to the new year couldn't have been any better. The service was excellent from start to finish. It was a little surprise and amusement for us, when all three of us got asked for our IDs when together our ages combined make 170 years. Company policy. As an appetizer, we ordered the wontons and they were delicious. Crunchy, tasty and in combination with the chili sauce! The guys ordered prime rib, of course and I went for a cliche steak salad. The steak was deliciously juicy and tender to be fair. The salad was a little bit too much swimming in a pond of dressing. We also thoroughly enjoyed the salad bar. No space for dessert, but I'm sure we all secretly regretted it.

So delicious! I ordered the rib plate with a loaded baked potato. I also added the unlimited soup and salad. The service is excellent! The staff was very friendly and the environment is very welcoming. I’ll definitely be back and I recommend everyone to check it out at least one time, you won’t be disappointed!

Our server Shane was good. Interacted with my group quite a bit. Kept up the drinks made jokes etc. The food was okay. Nit the greatest not the worst. Started with the green chilli wantons, although they were different there just wasn't much depth of flavor to the filling. The Thai dip was okay as well. Also got the 14oz ribeye. It was cooked to my liking, had a nice crust but it was just bland to me. The baked potato you could tell it had been sitting in or on a warmer for awhile. It was super dry. The butter and sour cream made up for it. Added some salt and pepper that was about it. Overall could have been better. Not worth the price.

Great spot! I get cravings for grilled chicken when I travel. This place did not disappoint. It is so fresh, made to order, and flavorful. I was very very happy with my Rio Pollo. The bread and butter were just okay. I didn’t have the urge to overstuff myself with bread. The service is awesome too. They are attentive without being overbearing.

Great service (Kristina), food, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. The appetizers were delicious and were very well presented (green chili wontons, potato skins, bacon wrapped stuffed shrimp). Pecan pie is a must, and the cheesecake was delicious! The steaks were well worth the visit. Our server, Kristina was very kind and attentive, the whole staff was great! Definitely well worth it!
