The Texas Bucket List - Cattleman's Steakhouse in Fabens

The Bite of the Week is awarded to a ranch restaurant with massive steaks, long lasting traditions, and even a zoo.

[@josephhernandez5986]

I live in El Paso, TX. We used to come to Cattlemens only for special occasions a few times a year. Now we try to come at least once a month. I've been to a few different steak houses like Great American, West Texas chophouse, coralitos, Texas roadhouse, logas, outback, gallaghers steakhouse in las vegas, a few others in Mexico, and some others that I probably forgot but I can tell you that even though cattlemens doesn't have dry aged meat it is still the best steak I have ever tried! I always go for the cowboy medium rare with a side of fries and order of grilled jalapeños. 😍 I STRONGLY recommend trying cattlemens if your just passing by or even if you're from a different state or country. YOU WON'T be disappointed!!!

[@kurthals5653]

I was here as a german soldier in 1985 and this steakhouse is definitely one of my best positive memories. Never before and never after have I had steaks as good as these. Nice to see that things like that still exist

[@mikehernandez8975]

I was the head grill cook there for four years. 👌

[@kendawa2918]

I love how they are uplifting about each other.

[@mr.perksy]

I was there this past December. First time there as I am from NY and was in El Paso for work. It’s in the middle of nowhere, but the food is awesome. I had the 10 oz. filet.

[@francesb2295]

NY to CA, all are welcome!

[@DavidGutierrez-nt7ov]

From San Francisco CA Office, We need to bring the team to this restaurant next time we are in El Paso. Sir. I was not aware this place existed in Fabens. We will certainly have to visit for a dinner outing. Love a good steak!

[@edmondlau511]

Just ate there a month ago. I lived in El Paso for 4 years and ate there once every couple of months. It's not cheap but well worth it. Decent drive from El Paso but worth it. The cole slaw is my favorite, it has pineapple in it and gives it a very unique and great taste. Medium rare ribeye is the way to go for me. Put some cheese, sour cream and bacon on that baked potato too.

Everytime my grandparents visited from San Antonio we used to go here. I have to take my lil fam here. I remember feeding the animals. ❤️

Went there a few times while stationed at Ft. Bliss for those amazing steaks!

[@ronia3181]

El Paso native! Cattleman's is amazing!!!!

[@margejohnson2987]

This steak house is awesome! I have been there a few times as I have family who reside in El Paso and we always get a order of their beef ribs along with our steaks. Delicious!

[@chuckstermcdaddy4170]

Beautiful place.

[@texaswader]

I haven't eaten there in years, it's a long long way from home. But I can promise if I'm within 100 miles of the place I'll be there for my steak. It really is an amazing place with amazing food.

[@matula755]

Went here in or around 1982 and since then I have wanted to return again. Great video and channel, thanks.

[@francesb2295]

Come back! We'll leave a steak ready.

[@ab_lane]

Went there for my birthday yesterday and wow that was some good steak. Well worth the price for the amount of food you get and the quality of it.

[@brent4770]

Grew up in El Paso and went there for every birthday. I still go back when I can.

[@rwdplz1]

Absolutely LOVE this place! Try to visit whenever I'm down there. PERFECT steaks, every time! The lobster tails are great too, they're HUGE!

[@jensongainer3696]

I flat love cattleman’s. Probably the coolest atmosphere anywhere that I’m aware of. Great video.

[@xdjrockstar306x]

im stationed here at fort bliss and within the first 3 months of living here, i ate at cattlemans adleast 3-5 times already!

[@joeyclemenza7339]

one of the more famous movies filmed there was courage under fire. i remember being a teen and thinking it was a trip to hear about denzel washington, lou diamond phillips and meg ryan sightings all over el paso. matt damon was in that movie too, only he wasn't famous yet. lol in fact, if you freeze at 0:31, you'll see a helicopter just crashed in the lower right center of the screen. that's the crashed heli they used in the movie. indian cliffs still holds horse and hay rides for both riders and non-riders through the cliffs, and the chopter is one of the places they take you too. great selfie op for the kids, hehe

[@andreavelasquez1309]

Great memories here, even 12 years later.

How super cool the owner spoke so much about the employees.

[@truetexan972]

It’s an amazing restaurant because the Steaks are amazing, coleslaw is the best & the beans are delicious! You can eat dinner, enjoy the petting zoo either before or after dinner & take a hayride tour in the desert. Everyone should go at least once, you won’t regret it! I ❤️ Cattleman’s Steakhouse!

[@twalrus1]

Years ago, my wife's boss invited some workers to Cattleman's and my son and I tagged along. One lady co-worker said she wasn't in the mood for beef so she told the waitress, "Let me have the Mongoloid Chicken." My son and I both looked at each other as if to say, "Did she really say that??" and burst out laughing. Everyone in the place was looking at us wondering what we were laughing so hard at. She looked at us and sheepishly said, "Heh heh, I meant Mongolian Chicken, didn't I?"

[@paulalaye6428]

OMG that looked soooo good, I love a rump steak rare and served with grainy mustard and side salad, thank you paula in the UK xx

Best steak in West Texas! I've been there many times. Terry Trautman worked there with his mama Rebecca. I miss my West Texas home and Cattleman's. I would settle my horse there for a weekend, then ride a ways towards the cliffs. I miss those days. Good to see that ya'll haven't changed. Long live Cattleman's.

Was there few times during last years and I must say the steaks are always great there. My favorite beside the 2 pound cowboy is the ribeye

[@rmccarrillo1759]

My go to spot.

[@reynaldorivera7641]

Been here several times as I’m at ft, bliss . If you want a specific cut or oz you have to call think day before so butcher can cut it. Very good food, parking is always bad especially on the weekends. It’s way off the road. Right off the exit you take a road that you think “am I going the right way”lol good place to eat , a little expensive but worth it.

I can't believe he didn't say anything about the pineapple coleslaw. That is the only place I've had it and it's good. Also west veiwing glass wall room . Where every evening at sunset they throw the scraps in to the cliff/bluff bottom and a good 100 coyotes come rushing in and fight over the scraps. It's amazing to see. The cowboy 32 oz porter house steak is favorite .

[@raymondflowers2167]

Long story, but Jack Nunn who started The Great American Land and Cattle Company and Great American Steakburger in El Paso started out at Cattleman's. They serve the pineapple cole slaw there too. Probably same seasoning too. You can buy their seasoning from either the store or from Claude's Sauces online. Jack and wife Peggy has since passed away, don't know the new owners. Jack's brother Teako Nunn and wife Josie own Sparky's in Hatch, NM.
