    Quesadilla- huarache- burrito (not monster menu) michelada!!! This girl is happy!!!

    Food was absolutely amazing!!!! Huge portions off the monster menu! We live a bit far but will be back for sure when able.

    Friendly staff and food came out quickly, which we took to go. It was a Sunday evening and they had karaoke going. Food was good, just needed a bit more salt all around, especially the rice and beans. Large portions.

    It was delicious. There was plenty of shrimp in my cóctel which was nice. I follow Lent so will have to come again to try other items that looked really good. The staff were all very friendly and on top of what we needed. Also there was great music playing and karaoke too.

    Tara Olson was our waitress 6-26-26, by far the best service I ever had since going there for…read more15+yrs. She was very attentive with the starter drinks, offering water, the salad was the greenest it's been in years. Bread was soft and delicious. She made some good recommendations to eat. No complaints at all with the service. Hoping to see more employees like her in the future.

    This is a 4 star restaurant with 5 stars for nostalgia and loyalty…read more I remember as a kid growing up in Fairfield and then Richmond,there was this special restaurant that had the biggest steaks ever and buffalo heads on the walls. Whenever we would go there,it was always a great happy dining experience and being in Dixon,it felt like a different world than the places in the Bay Area. As I grew up and moved to Sacramento area,the restaurant took on a much bigger meaning,it was my father's favorite spot to eat and it has always been the halfway point for my relatives who live in the bay and myself in Sacramento whenever we wanted to meet up for dinner. So yes I will always love Cattlemen's in Dixon for the memories alone. Let's talk about this particular recent visit. I made a reservation for a party of 9 at 6p. The parking at this location is plentiful as they have their own lot and even during its busiest times,there are always spaces available. When we arrived it was crazy busy and they told us it was going to be a bit for our table as they were running behind,so we headed to the bar to hang out and wait for our table. The wait ended up being over an hour after our reservation before we finally got our table. I was not thrilled at this but I was trying to make the best of a not perfect start to our dinner. The management and wait staff was very apologetic for the unexpected wait,which I appreciated. By the time we sat down we were ready to order immediately after having so much time to look at the menu while in the bar. In our family the most popular thing to order is the Original Steak Dinner for Two. We usually pair up with someone at the table and coordinate our order in that way. What that order gives you is a choice of 1 appetizer -Tumbleweed Onions -Artichoke Cheese Dip -Jumbo Shrimp Cocktail. On a night like tonight where we have multiple people ordering this,all the appetizers eventually get ordered and we kind of just share them all. Personally my favorite is the Artichoke Cheese Dip. Then for the Entree each of you get to choose one of the following -9 ounce Prime Rib -6 ounce Filet Mignon -Half Rack or Pork Ribs -14 ounce NY Strip Steak -Grilled Salmon -Steak and Shrimp Scampi My personal favorite here is always the 14 ounce NY Strip. And finally we get to pick one of 3 desserts. -Deep Fried Apple Pie -Cowpie Brownie Sundae -Pete's Pan Cookie My personal favorite is the Brownie Sundae but I'm usually so stuffed,I generally have to take my dessert home,so I almost always select the Deep Fried Apple Pie as it reheats the best at home. This order for two runs $84.99. I find it to be a pretty good value for all that you get. I failed to mention with this order we also get their yummy bread service,unlimited salad and also baked beans. Once the food arrived,it was all very enjoyable,I've always been a fan of their steaks and this visit was no different-very juicy and tasty and cooked to a perfect medium rare. The manager stepped up and comped all the appetizers on our bill to make up for the one-hour delay-their team is always so good at taking care of their customers. Overall,even with the rocky start,we had a very enjoyable dinner experience and look forward to the next time we are able to get out to Dixon to have some Cattlemen's again.

    Always nice to see when the Chef would prepare something special. You know that it will be his…read morehearts desire and he would love making it. We had the short ribs as Chef's special and it was delicious and tender. You don't need a steak knife. We also got the Jambalaya pasta and the spice is just about right! Plenty protein in that plate. I'd say - there was even amount of pasta and protein so I would say it was worth your money. I like the place being casual and cozy. The idea of separating the bar from the dining area is good. Was nice that there is outdoor seating as well. Small city parking may be a challenge when it gets busy but who doesn't like to walk a little after hearty meal, huh? This would be nice place to bring good friends for a nice dinner or just a quick catch up afternoon liquid refreshments. They also have 4 tv at the bar area. Must be great during sports watching! Come by!!

    Brandi!! Waitress!!! ... or lack there of, kicked us out of the restaurant following us outside…read moreYELLING at us in the street "don't come back". We were great customers eating there twice a week. She should be fired, but she won't because the manager didn't give a crap. We now go to Cattlemens, Dawson's or Jacky's which is a block away. Full bar and excellent customer service. They serve American food as well. You know, we asked for the manager and she was said to be too busy and it would take a couple days to get a call back. Well, that never happened. Food is not very good, always over cooked. Waiters other than Brandi are great. So manager doesn't manage! Either doesn't care or doesn't have time for the customer. She followed us out the door yelling don't come back. Enough said! The food has fallen way down. Way down!!!! 1 star at best. Everything is over cooked. Yet, we kept going because of the atmosphere and service. Brandi killed that. Have you ever been told you complain too much, get out and don't come back. What a great example. We were on name basis with the waiters. That's why we kept coming. It wasn't the food. Let me be clear, the rest of the staff were amazing. Have you ever been barred by a waitress. She was mean and vindictive. This place is on a downward spiral. Find another place. If I could give less than a star, I would. Thanks, Brandi. We found new places.

    Came for drinks on a blustery Saturday night. We sat at the bar. I ordered a Blackberry Mojito and…read moreit did not disappoint. The vibe was super chill and the bartender and bar staff were awesome. I hadn't been here in a while. Next time I'll come for dinner!

    The service was okay. We had a party of eight, and the staff initially wanted to seat us outdoors…read more It was very warm, so I asked if they could put two tables together inside since the restaurant was not busy. It was early, around 4:00 p.m., and there were only two people dining inside. They agreed and eventually placed two tables together indoors. My thought was, why was this not offered from the beginning, especially given the heat and how empty the restaurant was? The ambiance was great, but unfortunately, the food was not. I ordered a salad with chicken. The salad was very skimpy, with only two thin slices of apple, two small orange slices, very little feta, and mostly lettuce. The chicken portion was extremely small and was served separately on a plate rather than sliced and placed on the salad as ordered. The other dishes were also small and underwhelming. The burger and fries were nothing special, and the spaghetti was plain and lacked flavor. If you are looking for great ambiance, this may be a nice place to visit. But if you are looking for great food, you may want to consider other options. For a great burger, I would recommend Buckhorn instead. It costs less and is much better.
