We dropped in our vacation. What a great find! We ordered an appetizer and our drinks very quickly. We both ordered the sirloin. We were happy to see a salad bar, and ordered that too. The offerings on the salad bar were crisp, fresh, and delicious. Our steaks were phenomenal. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5, was that we had to track down our server to pay the bill. He walked on the other side of the partition several times and conversed with coworkers, but neglected to pick up our payment. He only came when we flagged down another server after waiting about 15 minutes. Up until this, he was attentive, but I honestly think he forgot about us. read more

The salad bar was everything! Aside from that, the food was less than desirable. First, the appetizer. We order spinach artichoke dip and chips. We waited 30 minutes. Finally my husband had to ask about it. When they finally brought it out, the chips were burnt. Looked burnt. Tasted burnt. Was burnt. I ordered the special and for my side I ordered loaded mashed potatoes. Cold. My husband ordered loaded baked potato for his side. Cold. My husband and I would go back for the salad bar. That's it. read more

My wife went with the fried fish meal that comes with one side so she chose fries. While I went with the chopped steak cover with mushrooms, onions, and brown gravy. We are trying to eat but there are flies everywhere (sad). This is not a Military friendly restaurant. They only do Military discount on Mondays!!! read more

We have been to this cattlemen's in the past, but it's been quite some time. We were in Shelbyville steaks were not very good. That's the first time we were quite disappointed. I'm not sure what change, but something certainly did. Service was good in the ambience the usual cattlemen and was OK. I don't think we'll be going back there. read more

Salad bar is great! Food is good. Our party ordered the Bourbon glazed sirloin, Smothered Chicken, and Potato Skins appetizer (as a meal item). Everything was good and the potato skins could have served 2 people easily. Service was good and food came out on time and the steaks were all cooked as ordered. read more

Thanks Hayden, our server. The wife had the salad bar( very delicious) I had the Ribeye! Seasoned very nicely and cooked as ordered. Very very flavorful!! read more

We were traveling thru town and wanted a relatively fair priced meal. There were enough cars in the parking lot that clued us in that this could be the spot. Our waitress was friendly and kept tabs on us the whole time. The salad bar had ample choices that were good. The steak and potato were cooked to order and definitely hit the spot. If I lived in the area I'd definitely be a regular customer! read more

Great server. The kids liked their meals, we adults didn't like our burgers. Had higher hopes. Family friendly with a quick wait.

Wife and I went 8/1/26. Seated immediately,service was good.We did however become ill after returning home.Probably from the salad bar.The prime rib tasted fine.The whole point of dining out is to enjoy some good food.This wasn't it. I did e-mail Cattlemens.Have heard absolutely nothing.I don't want a thing,free meal or that low rent type of thing.What I do want is a response from a business that made my wife and I ill.Won't be back. read more

We made a trip to KY and a group of us had dinner at the restaurant a couple times. The food was ok, nothing to be excited about. Salad bar was nicely stocked and a good point for us. One of the dinners, my steak was delivered to another guest. After sitting for a moment, I let the waitress know I was still waiting for my dinner, she looked around the table, realized my steak was with someone else. She proceeded to remove the baked potato from the plate as it had been cut into, grab the steak from one guest, place it in front of me, and said she'd grab another potato. Had I not been with a group of hungry guys ready to get back to the hotel, I'd have asked for a replacement steak. One guest ordered the "ribeye" steak medium rare, which came out on a plate, about 1/2" thick, and almost well done. read more

So, we have eaten here many times and both the food and service have always been good. The ambience is casual steakhouse. They still have self serve salad bar which is very nice. Main issues is that it is too pricey for the level of the place. The specialty cocktails are 13 bucks which are price expected down on whiskey row, not Shelbyville. Last week at Outback I ordered are great drink for 10 bucks. So, it's good but overpriced. read more

My wife and I go for the salad bar, but I love a good steak. Unfortunately, our stakes were very lacking with no flavor at all and very poor quality. You would think that the name of the restaurant would indicate they are good at steaks and that does not seem to be the case. The service was good and the server friendly. read more

Have never been a huge fan of this place -- the menu is just really boring. However, the food has always been made well and the service has always been friendly and relatively prompt. Until my most recent visit. The portions have shrunk significantly (despite no reduction in prices, of course). My sweet potato was burned, and my chicken breast was tiny. A dining partner ordered the salmon and it was the smallest piece of salmon I've ever seen, for $23. The server was very friendly but kept forgetting things. read more

I got food poisoning when I went there. Ended up in the hospital. I believe it was from the salad bar.

They have the best salad bar in town!! Veggies are always super fresh and the potato salad is amazing.

The salad bar cannot be beat. Most of the menu items are objectively tasty. If you are just looking for a good heavy meal that comes with free bread I'd say it's a must go. The portions are large. I cannot emphasize enough that the salad bar is the star here. read more

The place was crowded! But despite this our server was friendly and very efficient! Food was good! Steak was a bit tough but I was impressed with the salad bar. Very well stocked and very clean. We were visiting Kentucky but would definitely come back if we are ever here again. Staff were all so friendly! The young men at the front host stand were darling and working so hard! read more

Always a go to when in Shelbyville and I am never let down. We went on a Friday night around 8:30 and got seated immediately. I got the 6 oz sirloin with bourbon glaze (amazing sauce!!!), broccoli with cheese, and salad bar. Everything was super tasty especially the broccoli! Steak was a little overcooked but still ate it. They also always have the best sweet tea and super reasonable prices. I will absolutely be back!! read more

Went here on a Wednesday night and the place seem moderately busy for 7PM. There was only a single hostess working the front it seemed so I had to wait a couple of minutes for them to what I assume is return from seating the last table. Menu contains many similar options to other similar restaurants, but I wound up ordering their special which was a 6oz sirloin, 1 side and the salad bar. The highlight of the meal was the salad bar. Ingredients were fresh, staff made sure everything remained well stocked, and there was many options to choose from. While I was filling up my salad plate I heard several groups of folks come up just for the broccoli salad and they were remarking how good it was. Unfortunately by the time I heard those comments my plate was too full to accomodate any, but just wanted to provide a heads up that several folks found it noteworthy. That is really where the decent part of the experience ends. I ordered my steak medium-rare and what was delivered was medium-well at least. The meat also had very little flavor / seasoning on it to the extent that I had to add salt and pepper just to give it something other than just bland meat. The side item (greenbeans) were the same with no flavor. I didnt try any of the bread, so cannot comment on how good/bad it may have been. Service was also lackluster at best. Nothing horrible just not very attentive to refills, etc. For the price of the daily special it wasnt the worst, but I definitely do not have a strong desire to eat here again. Going forward if I want a chain steakhouse there are much better options out there. The only real star in the whole place was the salad bar. read more

Ate dinner there tonite. Had the Sirloin medium, baked potato, and salad bar. I would have had a beer, but they don't carry Yeungling on tap, so I had water. The sirloin was tough and chewy - better suited for a shoe than eating. Potato was OK, but nothing special. The salad bar was the best part of the meal - edible, but not exceptional. I will not go thier again - service was OK, but food was pretty bad. read more

Dining at Cattleman's 9-20-25 was pure pleasure. The place was full. What was very impressive, the Dining room staff were all on the floor. All patrons were all well serviced. All excellently trained and attentive. We were in a back corner, but, never unattended. It was pleasure watching young, very professional staff working together. Then , the steaks, flavorful, perfectly grilled. Served hot and well presented. Our family family totally recommends this impressive Restaurant. read more

Great: Service was very attentive and friendly. The rolls are great. Beers are large and cheap. Pretty good: As far as I know, this is the only salad bar in town. I'd come back for that alone. Perfectly adequate way to get a lot of vegetables. Not good: Steak was dry and tough. Ordered it medium. It was well done. Kids did not like their steak bites or mac and cheese. Overall, the food was a disappointment. read more

This place was close to the winery and had good reviews. We enjoyed it very much. It's like a fridays ord max n ermas or ruby tuesdays with a salad bar. They also have a bar w tv's. We sat in the bar. Our waitress Michelle was hopping. She had most of the bar area. Pickle chips were good. Onion rings excellent. Skip the mac n cheese side. Their pulled pork is very soft. I got the burger topped with pork and onion straws. I highly recommend. Burger was cooked perfectly. My wife had the pork rollups which wete fine. She prefers stringier pulled pork. My son got the country fried steak which he liked. Joint the points lrogram for a free appertizer or dessert your birthday month. read more

My fiance and I currently ate here salad bar was very clean. The potato salad cole slaw and broccoli salad tasted old and pasta salad bland and gross. Rolls were hot and fresh love the butter. He got the country fried steak and I got the chopper our food was hot and tasty we got the chicken egg rolls as an app the sauce on them was gross and they def weren't in egg roll shells. Customer service was great didn't have to ask for refills rolls or anything she was on point. App stunk and all the salads on the bar were awful is why I'm giving a 3 I would try a different app for sure and maybe they would have fresh salads on the salad bar. read more

Great service from the time we walked in to the time we left the restaurant. Fresh bread with cinnamon butter was delightful. Once we ordered our food, it came out within maybe 15 mins and it meet expectations. Meat was cooked perfectly to what we asked for it to be. The price was great for what we got, and they also had a salad bar for an extra price. Overall great experience read more

Super solid place. My earliest experience with them was on the tail end of Covid so it was take out only. Very high quality packaging and everything was clearly cooked to order. Now I've been in person and dining in does much better justice to the food. Excellent burgers and sandwiches, fun setting, and friendly service. read more

The food was as expected. Customer service was friendly and prompt. Bathrooms an overall facility is clean. Neat atmosphere.

Awesome restaurant with great food, wonderful salad bar, and fantastic service. Our server was awesome, and the lava cake and strawberry cheesecake was to die for. We had just stopped in for lunch - my wife, daughter, and I, and we were thrilled with fast seating great bread (wonderful butter and my wife loved the cinnamon butter), and we thought the salad bar was a great value as it was included with our meals. At 8.99/9.99, it would be a good value for those eating it as a meal. Overall, just a great experience. Thank you, Lance and Cattleman's Roadhouse! Please note, if you are a Coca Cola fan, they are a Pepsi shop currently. read more

I have been eating at Cattleman's for over 10 years and it never gets old! Everyone you come in contact with from the hostess to the manager are always friendly and helpful. The salad bar is my favorite " broccoli salad", love steak but the white fish is good also! Good Selection of beer and good bartenders for a drink, I like eating at the bar and watching a game. read more

Food was average . Nothing really stood out. But for what we paid, we got our moneys worth. I got a burger and it was served hot. Service was very friendly. Would I stop here again? Yes I would. Dinner was served quickly and it was hot. As long as you're not expecting a white tablecloth experience, you'll be fine. Very busy place. So this is a value dinner place. read more
