“Give it a miss”

Cattleman's Steakhouse

We had just arrived at the Homewood Suites and didn't know where to eat so we plumped for this one. Mistake.

The waitress was nice enough but the service was very slow, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. When we were finally served with our meals we had to send them back as they were only barely warm. When they came back they weren't really any better but we were too hungry to send them back again. They had taken the fries off our plates so we asked them to give us new fries. They also took ages to come - surely a quiet restaurant kitchen should be able to deliver two servings of fries in under 15 minutes? The steaks themselves were pretty uninspiring, and having been reheated were no longer rare or medium rare (in my book that doesn't have to mean cold!)

The waitress said they had a new kitchen, so maybe that was the problem, though having read the other reviews here now, maybe not.

Probably our worst eating experience in America so far.

Not recommended.

After 13 years of success on International Drive, Cattleman's Steakhouse & Saloon has made some big changes! Cattleman's has great new management in place whose sole focus is the satisfaction and enjoyable dining experience of our customers. Come on in and enjoy some REAL southern hospitality with our friendly and professional service staff.

Our new kitchen is home to one of Orlando's best culinary teams! With chef's from Orlando's best restaurants now serving up the best Midwestern Grain-Fed steaks and southern cookin' in Orlando. With everything from skillet cornbread, sweet potato mash, and big Texas BBQ made from scratch daily, we are proud to say we are the only restaurant on International drive serving authentic down-home southern food!

Our Saloon is also home to The Best Dang Happy Hour In Town! With 2 for 1 drinks and half priced appetizers all day everyday in the Saloon!

Cattleman's Steakhouse & Saloon - ALL CATTLE NO BULL, FUN NOT FANCY!

On our visit to Orlando, my family of 6 decided to visit Cattlemans. The Exterior of the building and the "Immediate Seating" flashing neon sign was enticing. Considering all other places had at least an hour wait. When we walked in, we were completely ignored by a staff of 3 congregating by the hostess station. Not even a simple hello or welcome. The stench was completely unappetizing. After standing there with no apparent reason for being greeted or seated we walked out! Thank Goodness we did, considering the previous reviews here on this website. At least we did not waste $35.00 per person to eat and not be satisfied!

Wow, you would never believe this place looked like this from the outside. It has such an authentic western atmosphere and the steaks are great. The service was also top notch.

If you like steak that's as tough as an old shoe, rude and surley staff and being over charged for your meal then eat here. In all my time travelling, including a short period in Iraq in 2003, this has got to be the worst food I have ever eaten! Never EVER eat there.

Having spending the day in Universal with the missus we decided to check out Cattlemans Steakhouse. After being seated the fiasco began. To begin with we were made to wait at least ten minutes before someone bothered to take our drinks order. After receiving drinks our waitress decided to make an appearance and took our order. We both ordered the striplion steak, after which the waitress rattled off a list of sides (neglecting to mention that all these were extra). The steak was pricey enough to begin with, coming with a choce of fries, baked potatoe or rice, but everything else was extra, I mean who the hell serves steak without veg or salad. Even the pepper sauce was $3.95 extra. We decided to get a side of sauteed onions which cost $3.95 also, at this stage I at last came to the realisation that these people were most definately taking the p#ss. After receiving the steaks, which were ok at best, we discovered that our fries had been microwaved and must have been cooked at least an hour ago, I would have got more enjoyment from chewing on one of their napkins but decided not to incase I got charged extra for it. When the entire ordeal was over the waitress handed us our check after about 5 minutes of trying to push deserts on us. To our suprise we seen that an 18% gratuity had been added to the bottom of the check. Considering there was only two of us I found this pretty damn cheeky of them considering the rubbish service and substandard meal. In all we paid $75 for 2 sodas, 2 steaks and 1 side of onions (and we didn't even get salad or sauce with that)

I appologise for the long winded review, but if it saves even one person from the ordeal we went through then it will be worth it.
