"With a name like Cattlemen's, it would make sense to order a steak, such as this strip sirloin."
Cliff Strutz
"The pepper steak is a small filet covered in a peppercorn sauce, with additional peppercorns on top."

Michael Stern
"Oklahoma may be the state with the most great hamburgers. Cheap or expensive, thick or thin, dressed or au naturel, Sooner State burgers are a large Roadfood topic unto themselves. The cattlemen's steak burger is one of more luxurious ones."
Michael Stern
"A house salad comes with your steak. We highly recommend the garlicky, cheesy house dressing."
Cliff Strutz
"Lamb fries, a.k.a. tendergroin, are a plush appetizer. Sitting at a table in the Cattlemen's Cafe one day plowing into a pile of them, I once commented to a cowboy friend that they reminded me of fried clams. He practically gagged. The idea of eating fried clams was, to him, repulsive."
Michael Stern
"One wall in the front dining room is decorated with this illuminated mural, showing a couple of gentlemen tending a herd of cows. In the back room, a similar lighted mural shows a herd of Herefords. "
Michael Stern
"Enter Cattlemen's by pulling on one half of this longhorn door handle. The stockyards district, with great places to buy western wear and gear, is reflected in the glass."
Michael Stern
"The less fancy side of Cattlemen's feels like a diner. But the food is blue-ribbon steak house fare."
Michael Stern
"Outside the Cattlemen's, a group of gentlemen who have just had lunch discuss the cattle business."

Michael Stern
"The loaded baked potato is pretty good, although I much prefer crisper French fries, cottage fries, or home fries."

"The dinner roll is freshly baked -- an ideal tool for sopping up steak gravy from the plate."
Michael Stern
"Would you like a few greens with your salad dressing? This creamy, garlicky cheese dressing is probably not what nutrition nannies have in mind when they tell us to eat more salads, but it does have a super-rich appeal, especially with the crisp, garlicky tiles of toasted bread that come alongside."
Michael Stern
"If you need to shop for just about anything in the world of cattle-raising, you can find it here: saddles and tack, boots and hats, and, of course, great steak dinners."
