Cattlemen's Steakhouse

We were first timers, in town with some friends from Carroll specifically for Cattleman's. Any hype we heard was met and exceeded with our experience here. The staff was super friendly, knowledgeable and efficient, the atmosphere resembled at high end steakhouse you'd normally see in a bigger city, but the food was the star of the show. We had a bit of everything at our table, but from start to finish we loved the options we ordered. This is a gem for a small town and if you're anywhere within driving distance, treat yourself and make your way to Cattleman's.

So worth the stop even on a long distance trip. Great steak selection. A little heavy on the seasoning on the exterior of the prime rib, though the meat itself was excellent. Loaded potatoes were top notch. Very engaging server. Great overall vibe. We ate on the bar side, and though not drinkers ourselves, we noticed that there was an excellent selection of spirits. Quick service on a Wednesday night, very much appreciated as we were headed to Cedar Rapids.

A great north Iowa culinary experience. Many dishes were heavy on salt but still delicious. The wait staff were attentive and fun making for a festive evening. The drink menu and mixology sets it apart from all others. The Martini's are poured a bit short in the glass.

I met a friend halfway between our towns, which happens to be Sac City. So glad Cattlemen's was open for lunch! We both got burgers, which were very good. I loved their fries - a thin steak fry that was well-seasoned with salt & pepper. We shared the creme brulee cheesecake - so delicious! The bar has 2 TVs - sound was not on so it wasn't loud and didn't interfere with the vibe but I appreciated that I could watch the Cyclones!

Totally shocked by this little gem in the middle of nowhere Iowa. Food was super. Beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. Prices are on the higher side and the portions could be bigger for the price. Yet I left very satisfied. Hannah our server was top notch. She was personable and attentive. Her service really added to the experience. Having just left Deadwood, SD after a week at Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, I was burned out on steaks and BBQ so I ordered the walleye and my buddy ordered the Shrimp & Salmon. Lastly, I was really impressed that they had 4 different Non-Alcoholic craft beers and even "alternative" spirits and craft n/a cocktail options. For the sober guy this is a huge plus that I rarely find outside of major cities on the coasts. Nice touch.

This was our first experience since the restaurant had been purchased and completely remodeled by its new owners a couple of years ago. Fantastic wine and cocktail list, including a great selection of bourbon. The menu is set by "stages" - we opted for a mix of both fresh and baked oysters (both from Boston, we liked the raw oysters best) for stage 1; by stage 2 - the warm cesar salad was quite good (the soft egg was cooked to perfection) and the scallop with polenta (a highlight of the dinner - the scallop was perfectly cooked and the collection of flavors in the dish itself were outstanding). We then had stage 3 (entrees) - my husband ordered the prime rib, which was one of the best he had anywhere in recent memory; I opted for the fillet which was quite good but a tad overdone. We finished with the apple crisp for desert was more of a deconstructed version that was great in flavor but a bit lukewarm. Service overall was good - our waitress was pleasant and attentive. The owner checked on us several times and was consistently checking on all patrons in the restaurant...you could tell that there is tremendous focus on customers and the overall service and quality. A couple of the waitresses seemed to be new and unfamiliar with the menu but not unexpected with current workforce. This is definitely a stop you should add to your list!
