Reviews for Cattleman's Steakhouse at Indian Cliffs Ranch in Fabens, TX

This steakhouse has been, and continues to be, an El Paso landmark. Great steaks and meats, but not much in the way of other... options. There is a zoo and a few small trails to walk. We went there in the evening and went for a walk over their premisesover sunset. Great experience as a date night. Not much staff outside the restaurant, however. So, your experience outside isessentially self-guided. Read more

I love this place. My husband and I went on a Saturday for date night, there was an hour and a half of wait time. Yes, it is a... long wait, but there is so much to do that the time went by fast. We shopped at the gift shop. We had some drinks. We walked thegrounds. We had a lovely stroll to the lake. When we were seated we placed our order and the food was delicious. I had a ribeyewith a baked potato and the hubby had steak and lobster. Be ready to pay a large bill, but trust me it's worth every penny. Read more

Loved it! Took our parents from Arizona, for my Dads birthday and we ate up a storm, Good Shrimp, Beef Tips, Lobster, Steaks... and Desert. And it was a beautiful day for a family dinner. Our waiter Jesse was a great host! And our waitress who made sure wehad drinks filled at all times. Loved walking around inside and out. ????? Read more

I?ve heard of this restaurant for a long time and we drove about 2 hours to get here. Their steaks are great, but the sides are... just okay. The service is good, too. Overall, it?s a good experience to dine in here, prices are reasonable andaffordable. Suggest to come here earlier because it takes about 1-1.5 hours to get in. Read more

We heard this place was quite the attraction in El Paso, and I can see why! The food was really good, the portions are BIG and... they come with plenty of sides. We had Sausage as an appetizer, Rib Eye with veggies and fries, and Pecan Pie with ice cream fordessert, all of them really good! It's a bit far away from the city, but nothing impossible. It has a lot of parking space, alot of seating space as well, but it can get very busy! So take your time. It was very nice to take a stroll after lunch andlook at all the animals they have around the place. It's fun and perfect for a family's day out. Read more

Very happy we arrived just after opening. Place got crowded very quickly. Service wasn't bad at all, food was ok except for both... of our steaks were undercooked, and my friend had to send hers back, she asked for med well and it was rare in the center. Theywere pretty quick with the return, but being a steak place, we figured they would be on point with cooking the steaks. Therestaurant itself had a great atmosphere and the grounds around it made for a nice walk after dinner. Sunset over the lake wasgreat. Would definitely go back if I was staying in El Paso.

A reasonable 40 minute drive from our hotel in El Paso. This is a tourist destination worth visiting. I wish we had arrived a... little earlier to be able to see more of the ground during daylight. The food is off the hook delicious. Everything I had wasexcellent. Don't skip the coleslaw. It's good enough to be dessert. My steak was melt in your mouth delicious. I totally blew mycalorie budget for the day but it was worth it!!! The pecan pie was served warm and the server was very attentive. This was mysecond time here and the first was 9 years ago. I was very pleased to see that they have not lowered their standards. I woulddefinitely come here again. Read more

I have heard from many people that this place is fantastic, I think maybe we just came on an off night. Everything was still... alright, I just had much higher expectations. You can see a few of the issues from the photos below. The Ranch was beautiful. Really nice drive from the road up to where you park for the restaurant. All of the decor here was cool too, we walked aroundthe restaurant after we ate and checked it all out and stopped into their gift shop to look around. Service was fine. Nothingexceptional but definitely not poor. Our server was a nice young lady. So on to the food. The Beef Ribs were terriblyovercooked. When they got to the table there was barely any meat on them. If you know anything about beef ribs, this is notwhat you'd expect, especially at a steakhouse settled on a ranch. We told the server we were upset and she did get us anotherrack. They did have more meat on them and less char, but still overcooked on the outside. Had we gotten the second rack firstthough, I would have been satisfied. The porterhouse also had a very hard cook on the outside, but being a large cut of meatthat needs to reach a certain internal temperature (even though we only got it med-rare), I was willing to overlook that. Themeat itself was good quality and I enjoyed the steak. The beans tasted good and the pineapple slaw was very good. Verydifferent, but very good. We chose to skip on dessert this time around. I'd love to go back someday and see if maybe we justcaught a rough day for the team there. Sadly I can only report based on what we experienced though and that was a "good" meal. Read more
