Description: This ranch-steakhouse-petting zoo is both an attraction and a restaurant, and a fine one at that. Where better, of course, to enjoy a steak than on an actual ranch? Cattleman’s Steakhouse consistently draws large crowds of both tourists and locals who want to partake of their big juicy slabs of beef, cooked just right. Beyond steak, the menu offerings here extend to mesquite-smoked barbecue, seafood, and no-nonsense poultry dishes. And the beautiful sunsets over the ranch also make the trip well worthwhile. Located on the grounds of Indian Cliffs Ranch in Fabens, Cattleman’s offers hayrides and is a great place for a large group or a family to enjoy an afternoon outdoors. If you go early, you’ll have some time before dinner to see the sights at the ranch, including recent movie sets. Little cowpokes will love Indian Cliffs Ranch, a place where they can live their dreams of becoming a real cowboy for a day. Let the kiddies run wild, check out the animals, and play in the hay as you work up a cowboy appetite.The restaurant itself looks and feels like a large ranchhouse and inside the rustic ambiance is enhanced with uneven adobe walls and wooden vigas across the ceilings. Wagon wheel chandeliers and photos and memorabilia lining the walls complete the old west experience, which is only outdone here by the massive steaks.
