This bar has great salads! Some of the best salads in town, which is strange because it's really a bar first. With that said, it took a very long time to get our food, and the service was just okay. There was a musician setting up outside and our table was in the way, which was just a bit awkward. At one point she tried to move around us but was putting an extension chord over and under our table. That was a bit off putting. She definitely could've asked us to move a bit but instead just sort of started throwing the chord over us to attempt to avoid us. It was odd The drinks were great and overall staff were wearing their masks. It would've been a 4 star review if not for the lady setting up her equipment and having a less than stellar attitude. I think next time we will order take out to get our salads. :) read more

The burgers are really really good! They gave tons of variety to chose from. Quality service too Very good sweet potato and tater tots. Try the bloody Mary and the Moscow mule Five stars! read more

I've been here several times and have always had a good experience. The food is good quality and well proportioned, the staff is friendly, and the restaurant is clean and has a warm, relaxed feel. Great place for a burger. read more

A very cool place. The bartender got to me right away. She was very friendly and she made me feel like a regular even though it was my first time here. Will certainly be returning. read more

My first time here! My husband took me here for my birthday lunch. Loved the atmosphere! It's very cozy, small town pub feel. Our server Ben was very enthusiastic and welcoming! My husband and I both ordered burgers! Wow they were huge and delicious! Love the presentation! Your fries come out it a tin can... cute!! Definitely recommend and return! read more

Wow, this place sure does have a lot of great reviews on the food. I'm starting to wonder if I went to the wrong place. I do agree that the service was good, but the food left something to be desired. Good luck! read more

We have enjoyed more than 5 meals here and this morning decided to try their breakfast. It was fantastic. Every visit we have had excellent service and felt safe Kudos Cattleman's team! This is our new favorite go to restaurant Ribs, nachos, omelets, burgers and wings have all been enjoyed read more

Great food good service, definitely go again I like the decor, nothing to fancy, I go for the food, fish fry very good

I. love. this. place! the staff, first of all, Elijah, Rikki, Kate, Dom, Patty are all amazing! the food is 10/10, the whole vibe of this bar/restaurant is my favorite. my friends and I come here almost every week because we're locals, but also because it's such a good time. you will not be disappointed at Cattleman's. they go above and beyond and I would recommend this place to anyone. this place deserves more hype read more

Stopped in for $2 Taco Tuesday tonight. Always enjoyed it. Apparently it no longer exists. I guess we will order the Nacho's that had become our favorite. Apparently it's no longer on the menu. Oh well finished our drink and left. 2 favorites gone In one night. Looks like they changed the but it's not updated on Yelp as of yet. read more

Good food, even when understaffed for lunch I was taken here for my birthday, 4 of us at the table. We were quickly seated at noon. The waiter was friendly and accommodating, but he wore too many hats. The place only had a few tables of patrons. My drink refill took a long time to make it back. The burger I ordered (Mac and cheese cheeseburger) was outstanding. Very filling, and priced right. The crispy, delicious fries were seasoned perfectly, hot, and served in at metal can. Very cool. The decor was nice, with reclaimed barnwood-style walls, and a casual vibe. Tables down the middle, and booths along the wall. A bit tight at the table closest to the entrance. Hard for people to go around when entering and leaving. I would take out that first table when it is not busy. All in all, a very nice place to eat and socialize. Much preferred to the breakfast spot that preceded Cattleman's. I imagine it would also be good for a casual dinner and drinks with friends. I will definitely go there again. Main Street Algonquin is revitalized with numerous quality restaurants from casual to upscale, and Cattleman's is a positive addition to the area. read more

Our group had a fantastic time at Cattleman's last night. We enjoyed the delicious food, the friendly and attentive servers and owners, and the lovely environment. Several people in our group ordered the ribs and loved them. We will definitely be returning to this great gathering place. read more

This Mac n cheese burger is amazing. It's oozes cheese and comfort, love the vintage cup of fries or tater tots. Simply great service and food ! Try their guava beer! read more

Cattleman's Burger and Brew - Really good! Mac and cheese burger - Burgers Near Me - Algonquin, Illinois

Great food, great service and a welcoming atmosphere. Needs a waiting area however. Used to have one when the previous restaurant was here but just it's an online gaming area. Bad use of space. But we love rye food here and return. I've heard they use the local Butcher on the Block for meat which is a plus! read more

Was a great place when Tony Bellino owned it. We went once since he sold it. Got a dirty look from the old hag bartender. Fried fish was all breading and very little fish. Haven't been back since. read more

Cheese curds are good but waited over 45 min for our food. It wasn't even that busy. Was ok.

I love having such an awesome restaurant so close to where I live, in Downtown Algonquin! First off, the food is cooked to perfection! I am extremely pleased, as well, to note that Cattleman's serves the Impossible Burger. Their fries and tater tots are excellent, and their servings are decently sized. I'm quite happy with the experiences I've had thus far, dining at Cattleman's, and it's wonderful to be able to stop in after work, on a nice day, since it's just a short walk from my place. Their beer selection, while I haven't seen whether they have much (if anything at all) on tap, is quite good. They have some wonderful IPAs, like Bear-y White and Zombie Killer, and the owner is extremely nice. I will definitely be back, and will share pictures with all of you when I am! read more

Great food, expensive. What really pissed me was that they have a women's and a gender neutral bathroom, but no men's restroom. So now your WOKE owners are not even acknowledging my sex? Honestly I will never give you another penny. Your discriminating sexists. read more

This place is good - SOMETIMES. And here in, lies the problem. When you get them on the right day, the food is really good. The only thing consistent about the food however, is how inconsistent it is. Some days the burgers are awesome, other days they're 30% smaller than normal, take 45 minutes to get, and come out under cooked. So as long as you don't mind waiting a long time for an undersized, under cooked meal, you're golden. However - when the food does come out correctly, it's good! The burgers are (usually) really juicy and yummy. The fries are cool, and are served in a fun way. I'll come back here, but just not race back here. I wish they could get their act together. If it was consistently good, I'd consistently patronize them. read more

We have eaten here many times. We've come on different days of the week and times of day and happy to say food has always been consistently good. The burgers are great and love the fries. They also have tater tots which is a plus and the popcorn is a favorite. Hope they don't change anything food related, it works keep things the same. Only complaint would be the tight space. The place is not very big. If you get a booth you are good, but the row of tables is too tight and people constantly bump into you and wait staff uses your table as a temp space. read more

I met my son for breakfast on a Sunday. The food and menu were great. Great Bloody Marie's with make your own option. I prefer to leave the job to the experts. Will be back again when it's ok to visit restaurants. Thank you. read more

A buddy at work told me about this place so my wife and I had to check it out. We went on Tuesday at lunch. On the positive: our server was great (I'm sorry I don't remember her name). we absolutely loved their decor both inside and out-as you can see by the photos. We also loved their presentation and the uniqueness of their plating. OK, now on the negatives: my wife and I ordered medium burgers and both were medium well. Coleslaw was very bland as were the onion straws and crispy fries which they do not make in house AND the burgers. Now the worst: there is this wonderful seasoning that God has given us - SALT! The executive chef seems to have a pretty decent resume however he needs to pay more close attention to the cooks that work there as I would be very surprised if there was any salt used on or in any of the items served. Food in restaurants should be served the way they should be eaten and not be served to be seasoned by the customer. I really wish I could give this place a better rating, but the most basic skill in cooking is correct seasoning... Or in this case seasoning at all. I believe 3 stars is pretty decent because of the server, the decor and presentation of the food, but that's it. Happy Eating! Chef JB read more

Been here twice and had a burger both times. Ordered medium and they were pretty well done, the burger to bun ratio favors the bun and could use a little S&P. The cole slaw could use some improvement, too. It's kinda dry, with plenty of sugar, but could use a little vinegar. I don't wanna stomp their balls too hard core, but it is what it is. Their burger is just another burger. It would, however, be a vast improvement if the cook could hit his temperatures. read more

Hmmm first and likely my only visit here was on Fathers Day. The place has "Brew" in its name. I'd like a nice brew today except everything is served from bottles ... no draft beer here. Ok. Then ordered 12 wings. 6 hot 6 mild as the wife doesn't like the hot stuff. My error for not demanding they be separated as the sauce from the hot ones leeched on the plate to most of the mild ones. The wings were meaty , albeit on the rubbery side of texture. Wanted the wings ahead of the main dish but it was served just a few minutes ahead. Got the daily special... the pot roast. Very dry. Manager came over. Agreed. Said "we can put more gravy on it!" Ummmmm no thanks. At least he took it off the bill. Won't be back ...maybe the burgers are ok, but these are three strikes and we're out of here. read more

Outstanding service and great food. Very cozy place with live music on Saturday nights. I recommend any of the burgers or the ribs and chicken combo. You can't go wrong with either one. Will definitely be going back several more times! read more

Excellent place to watch the game and have a burger. I had the spinach and pepper jack cheese burger with a side salad. It was top two burger of all time!!! The wait staff was attentive and pleasant, which is unheard of due to COVID. You could tell these people liked their job. We will definitely be back soon!! read more

Great Burgers! Make no mistake, this place can make a burger! You're greeted with a basket of popcorn and a smile. Although they have a selection of appetizers, we went straight to the main attraction. (Note: the Michigan cheese curds are actually Wisconsin cheese curds, but that's probably best). The burger has a flame broiler taste in a fresh tasting brioche bun. Good thick hand packed burgers are getting harder to find. Too many places consider a burger an afterthought. The burger is served with a can, yes, a can of fries. The serving is much more generous than it first appears. On the side comes their homemade slaw, which is fresh but nearly flavorless. Place has a nice sized bar. Overall, great burger great fries, reasonable prices, nice environment and good service. Get the slaw right and change the menu to reflect the Wisconsin cheese curds and it's five stars. I give it 4.5, I say go get a burger! read more

Headed thru town and found this place on Yelp- great place- awesome service, food and atmosphere. Ate outside and still had great service and super hot food! Appetizers of wings were great- we had Saturday special of prime rib, and my party also ordered Mac and cheese with pulled pork and my son had the pulled pork sandwich and I had a salad- everything was tasty- and our service was great. Classic American fare in a neat atmosphere at good prices read more

Ate dinner there on a Sunday evening and had a delicious burger and stout. I cannot remember the name of mine but it had tortilla chips and was so juicy. I was in heaven. The pot roast looked yum too but we went with the burgers... Have to get that next round! The food was great but the service is what blew us away. They went above and beyond to find a high chair for our baby and were consistently checking in. Definitely recommend! read more

Less than average, tried it once was not overly impressive. Some like it but we will not be going back. To many other better options to eat at. read more

Amazing experience here! Monica the bartender is an absolute gem. We sat at the bar on a Saturday night and she was attentive and so sweet and engaging! We will be back just to see her again! we ordered the chicken nachos and cheese curds and the food did not disappoint! Drinks were flavorful and strong as well! We are so happy we stumbled upon Cattleman's! read more

Amazing staff, great food, awesome burgers and salads!!! 10/10 would definitely eat here again! read more

Went there for the first time tonight. WOW! Great food! They had a kids menu and the ambiance was great, not to mention the staff. I would highly recommend it and I will definitely be returning! If you haven't been yet... you gotta go! I had a mushroom Swiss burger, delicious. Portion sizes were big. Definitely getting your monies worth. A great addition to downtown. read more

We have been twice and both times there was some good, some bad. Both times we had burgers. The first time we ordered it medium rare. And it was really more raw. The second time it was very well done and dry. I think we'll wait a while to return. read more

You know what's worse than going to your favorite restaurant to get 2 pork chop dinners, garlic mashed potatoes, and terrific apple sauce that is complemented with 3 Mai Tai drinks? Well I'll tell you. I live over 30 miles from Cattleman's but I try and go once a month because I love it that much. So what happened tonight? They forgot the mashed potatoes!!! OMG! I had to subtract one star. Do you realize how much my wife and I love these garlic red mashed potatoes? Enough to drive every month (sometimes more often) to get them. Look, the pork chops were excellent tonight, very flavorful and meaty. The soup and salad were awesome as always. The veggies are great as well. Okay, I got three Mai Tai's to go because I love them that much. But there was something missing tonight without the mashed. I gotta have them. So I know it gets hectic and the volume of takeouts has increased. Okay okay, I won't take away a star. I still love you Cattleman's, and we will be back. But please, don't forget those potatoes next time. read more

Chicken Fresco was excellent. Bartender was very attentive. Will come here again and try something else.

We really enjoyed this place. Staff was super friendly, great atmosphere, and the food was packed full of flavor. No draft beer just cans/bottles but they do have a good selection. The Fernandez burger came with steak on top and I was a huge fan. The wife got a free Yoga class next door with her salad, how cool is that? read more
