This is a rough and tumble place to get steak. If you wear a necktie, the staff will loudly (and with customer jeering) cut it off and post it one the wall. I'm not kidding! If you're a vegetarian - don't even bother with this place. The only thing without meat are the salads - and thats if you hold the bacon bits.
Every piece of meat here is mesquite grilled. The basic cut is a 22oz T-bone for $10 served up with beans and salad. Baked potato is extra. I usually order the Cattleman's 30 oz T-bone for $15, medium rare. The inner part of the steak was cool meaning it had been cooked from the cooler rather than being cooked from room temperature. The steak was also on the dry side with little or no juice. The inner portion of the steak was very tender and the house sauce was sweet and tangy.
My wife usaually orders the fillet mignon (12 oz I think). If you love mesquite flavor, this is the place. Atmosphere is very much like a cowboy town, in fact there is a mock cowboy town around the restaurant, complete with wooden plank sidewalks, saloons and souvenir shops. An excellent place to take out-of-towners.
