CATTLE BARON - Lubbock

Nice Mother's Day Gathering. It seems that lots of people are all too gung ho to leave a review when they have a bad experience, but never think of leaving one when things are good to great. We had a group needing to go out for Mother's Day. We would have 6 adults and a 1 year old. We chose The Cattle Baron. We were seated promptly by a friendly hostess and our drink order was taken quickly. We were seated in a nice large booth with plenty of room. We had a pair split a filet mignon and they had the salad bar as well. They were very pleased with the steak and the salad bar. No complaints. We also had folks order the chicken fry and salad bar with no complaints on either. I split a steak with my wife and we split a baked potato. My wife went to the salad bar and it was all fine. The bread before the meal was fine and our waitress, Alexis, was just excellent and attentive. Our drinks were kept full and it could not have been a more pleasant experience. We will visit again.

Very Nice. Great bar, very good food and professional service. Under new management for past few months, this place has really improved.... wasn't bad before.... now it's great. Went on a Thursday night, 4 of us. Place was busy. We were greeted quickly, sat at a nice table and served promptly. Good drink pours, great salad bar, great steaks. Cattle Baron is a solid bet.

Getting Better!. We tried Cattle Baron after swearing we never would again. Apparently there is a new manager, Rick, and he's terrific! We watched him greet guests, work with the cooks, and make sure the food was right before it got out to the tables. He even made the effort to greet us at our table to make sure we were happy with our plates. I had the filet and while it was cooked correctly, I would have liked a little more seasoning or something. The texture was really good, but it just needed something. My husband ordered the biggest prime rib and we were surprised that the cooking temperature was consistent on that, too! The baked potatoes are what you would expect. The highlight was the green chile won tons and sauteed mushrooms. The salad bar looks so much better than it used to! That was the biggest surprise! It was clean and well stocked with a lot of variety. The soups were good. We didn't come to Cattle Baron for soup, but its nice to have options. Our server was very friendly and we felt that the pace of the meal was actually perfect. The restaurant looks A LOT cleaner than it did the last time we were in about 2 years ago. Definitely worth a second chance!

One of the beat places in Lubbock to eat I do have to say the one in protales is way better tough I love their mushrooms and the bread is wonderful

Great experience. Food was excellent also waiter was fast and helpful. Also really liked the live music on the patio on Wednesday nights. It feels like Austin.
