Finally got to try Cattlemen s, and it did not disappoint! I ve heard many a great thing, and I was excited to try it because I m quite picky about steak made outside our home.

We got there maybe around 7:30ish? They quoted us a 30 minute wait and it only took about 15, which was great. We were seated on the cafe side which we were slightly disappointed about because we were hoping for the ambience of the actually restaurant. We didn t have reservations, though, so it was understandable. Our server, Ken, was very friendly. He s been working there for 25 years!



The food took a really short time to come out! Maybe 10-15 minutes or so? Yeast rolls are brought out to accompany your meal. They immediately have you cut through your steak to make sure it s cooked to your liking. It looked maybe a little too medium for me but I accepted it because it wasn t too bad. It also came with a baked potato, which we asked to be loaded and extra sour cream and they brought out a TON, which was perfect for a sour cream lover like me. We ordered a side of mac n cheese (which I m also picky about in restaurants) and goodness, it was so good. I couldn t stop eating it. It had melted cheese and breadcrumbs on top and it was perfectly creamy underneath. Yum!

To the steak! Oh my gosh. It was incredible! Like I said, I m really picky when it comes to steaks in a restaurant but this was amazing. It was tender, juicy, and full of flavour throughout the whole cut. Use your rolls to wipe up the au jus, and it s just perfect. We were too full for dessert, but I ve heard that s amazing as well.

Another +10 bonus: the table next to us had a steak that wasn t cooked to their liking and the staff brought out another one free of charge. At the end of the meal, they had the first one bagged up and sent it home with them since it was their mistake that it wasn t cooked properly. I LOVE when restaurants do this because otherwise it s a waste of food, and we need less of that in the world. Plus, it just shows good professionalism and customer service. Great job, Cattlemen s!

Edit: We were looking over our receipt, and I had ordered a Talisker neat. We didn t noticed when we paid, but they charged us $1.50 EXTRA for ordering it neat. Never have I seen this been done, and that is a ridiculous extra charge. -10 point for that, Cattlemen s.
