We went in a busy Friday night for the first time. They had a great artist playing country music. They were quick to let us sit by the bar while our table was cleared. The blackberry mojito was amazing. They were heavy handed with the TX whiskey and coke but it was still good. I had the New York strip and my husband had the ribeye. We were unsure about them as they looked burnt but that was just all the glorious seasoning they put on them. The truffle mashed potatoes were really good as well. Even though our waitress was super busy with a lot of tables, she was still super attentive and had great conversations with her. She also helped keep our baby girl happy too! read more

delicious. we come here all the time, and have had the whole menu. our favorites as a family are the tomahawk steak and the amazing appetizers, and the brussels' sprouts. the western aesthetic is a fun change of pace compared to the similarly priced dallas steakhouses. none of which have a tomahawk quite like this one. service is good, although sometimes it takes a while because of them being busy. will come again, and probably again after that. read more

We loved it. Great atmosphere with live music and good service. Best steak we have had in years and the garlic potatoes were yummy. Everything was very good. Best burger ever had! Hope to be back soon read more

Service was excellent. It smells, feels and looks like a place with a great steak and it in fact does serve a great steak. It ain't cheap but it was very good. We had the baked chicken with the mashed potatoes and carrots and also the sirloin and Smoked Mac. Not a single bad bite. And I will be dreaming about that Mac and cheese for days! read more

Food was terrific the service from our waitress Savannah was 10 out of 10. She was patient and explained all the dishes and drink menu. I highly recommend this place and I HIGHLY recommend you get reservations. Definitely going to be a regular spot for us. read more

What a great find on our Mother's Day trek back to Houston! We saw a highway sign and rolled the dice...turned out to be a cozy steakhouse that is great for any occasion. We all had steaks cooked to perfection and the service was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area. read more

food not the best for the price they charge- service was lacking and atmosphere was nothing to write home about.

The food was great! The steaks here are delicious. It is also a cute restaurant. I would say it is not the least expensive place to go so keep that in mind but the quality is good! read more

Best Ribeye steak I have ever had!!! Service is super friendly and if you go on a night where they have live music it's even better!

Our family has been her twice. 1-10 scale Service: 7 (LONG wait on second visit) Appetizers: Queso-4. Burnt ends-6 Sides: potato salad-7, others-5 Entrees: Steak-7: had to send one back (ordered med rare, arrived medium well). Cuts were on the small side and one of the three steaks was pretty tough. Porkchop-10: EXCELLENT Atmosphere: 8/9 Restroom-1. Seriously? Had to be a man who created the women's restroom. It is CLEARLY a one-holer and barely enough room for that. Unfortunately, someone had the bright idea to try to create 2 stalls with doors. Unless you are a size 2-5 and under 5' tall, you better not plan on using the restroom. It's ridiculous. read more

We found Ruston Cattle Company on Yelp. We were coming up from Waco and meeting family from North Dallas halfway for an early Thanksgiving get together. We arrived in Sunday about 4pm. The waitress was kind and attentive. She said she drove in from Arlington to work! We got the smoked queso as other reviewers recommended and it was really good. My husband and I split a ribeye. My kids each had brisket sandwiches. They were full of meat and my 14.5 year old was full! They never happens with him. The potato salad was just okay. The steak was incredible. We are so glad to have found Ruston Cattle Company and we will meet our family there again. My daughter wants me to also write that the bathrooms are decorated in such a great Western style! She went in three times and took pictures! Ha! read more

We have come here repeatedly with amazing food each time- the steak is better than any in Dallas, and 1/2 the price. They are having minimal growing pains and at times struggle to handle the crowd hearing about their food. But that is fine with me knowing ahead of time for the good food and prices. The black barrel margarita is amazing and you can't go wrong with the queso, but get a to go container for the entree, whether bar-b-que or steak,you will want it later! read more

Love this place! The steaks are so good and cooked perfectly and I actually was told that the girl that cooked my steak is 17yrs old and a senior in high school! That's wild! She did a great job. The brisket and ribs are SO GOOD!!! I'm really happy to have this place open here is Ennis. I don't have to drive all the way to Hatchie for good bbq and a steak! I hope they're here to stay! They also have a great bar and daily happy hour specials! Great staff and owners!!! read more

Visiting Ennis this weekend we wanted to have dinner and stumbled onto the Ruston Cattle Company and decided to try it. Turns out we made a great decision. They were pretty busy when we arrived so it took a little while but it was certainly worth the wait. I tried the three meat plate with baked beans and mashed potatoes. Everything was so delicious! I couldn't decide which meat was best because they were all delicious. The BBQ sauce (on the side) was sort of spicy, just the way I like it. I thought the sides were both delicious. Great place for good Texas BBQ. read more

Driving 40 minutes to Rustan Cattle Company for an excellent steak dinner, amazing entertainment, and wonderful service wasn't too much to ask of these diners! A chance encounter with an employee of Rustan Cattle Company, close to my home in Lakewood, and his certainty l'd find their steaks as delicious as places I pay double the price, is what lead us here. I must admit, this Miami guy wasn't familiar with Ennis, but I'm open minded. We made reservations for a Friday night, to enjoy their live entertainment. This is definitely a restaurant with a diverse clientele, that enjoys their Country, and Blues, and one where you'll feel comfortable coming with family, and friends, or a date. I suggest coming hungry, because they do feed you here! Arriving, the staff immediately makes you feel at home. We enjoyed a cocktail the bartender Garret created for us with our favorite Japanese Whiskey. You'll be able to enjoy a great cocktail with your meal thanks to a generously stocked bar. Our sever, Savannah walked us through the menu, and the perfect cuts of meats for our taste. We ordered a few things, and shared, that might be a great option for you too. Although we loved the fried green beans, and Mac & Cheese, the menu really didn't offer great healthy options for sides, just yummy. Our steaks were amazing, and yes I would agree the quality, and flavor was equal, or superior to places I've spent much more, for much less. We had to try the deserts, again choosing to share the Banana Pudding, and Chocolate Cake, another great decision. Over all our final tab was less than $150 with cocktails, so not bad at all. Heads up! If you're shy, make sure you use the restroom at home! Enjoy your meal! Xoxo Lorenzo! read more

My husband and I went on a lunch date here today. We got the queso and salsa. The salsa was smoky and amazing. The queso was delicious too. Since we were so full from the queso, chips and salsa, we split the New York strip and added an order of the smoked mac and cheese. I got the baked potato and hubby had the smoked mac and cheese. I tried his and it was wonderful. I got ranch dressing for my baked potato and you could tell that their ranch is homemade. We ordered the steak medium and it was cooked to perfection. It was literally one of the best steaks that I have ever had in my life. We were so impressed and will definitely return. Our waitress was Taylor and she took great care of us. I highly recommend this place. You will not regret it! read more

The bartenders are amazing and the food is even better. The smoked queso is a must. I can't wait to go back

Absolutely great food, best steak around! Staff are great, everyone working there are great!

Food and atmosphere was great, service staff and bartenders were horrible. It seems no one really knows what they're doing, took over twenty minutes to get a beer bottle brought to us from the bar, ordered shots and they brought them 20 minutes later, with ice in them, melted and watered down - asked for different ones and that took another twenty minutes. Waitress came by maybe twice, we asked for plates, napkins, etc. for our appetizers but they never came, etc. These are just a few examples, but it's clear the staff is highly inexperienced and undertrained. Overpriced "premium" items not worth it. read more

My husband took me for our anniversary and it was outstanding!! Waygu Ribeye was delicious and cooked perfectly and live music to top it off. I recommend this place to everyone I meet. Great service as well read more

Expensive steakhouse that wants to reject all sense of comfort. No steak sauces, only local brand drinks, steak suvied, then put in pan to cook. You can pick toppings for the steak but it will not be cooked with them. Therefore, the flavors never develop into the steak. Staff checks on you way to much. Then towards the end of my dinner they had a local artist blasting his awful covers of country songs making any enjoyment of the experience gone. With hard chairs, loud music and food that is way overpriced for what you get. Save you money and go mainstream steakhouse. read more

Service was excellent, place is super cozy. Food was out of this world good. I had the 18 oz. Ribeye, medium rare. I will without a doubt crave this again. Typically there is a band but they cancelled on the day we chose to dine. I will just have to come back for the whole experience. read more

Although the service was super friendly, it was very slow. My wife and I were sat immediately upon entering the restaurant and within minutes our drink order was taken. The restaurant wasn't overly busy, and most of the folks there looked like they'd been there for quite awhile. I ordered a a beer and my wife ordered a tea. The bottle of beer took about 10 minutes to come from the bar. There was only two men sitting in the bar, and the looked to be family of the young man singing, so they weren't occupying the barkeep's attention. Once we had ordered, the food took over 45 minutes to hit the table. I ordered a three meat plate with tator salad and beans and my wife ordered a steak (rare) and a side salad. Super simple order with most items already having been prepared, only needing served. The steak was really the only thing that needed to be cooked fresh. There shouldn't have been any reason that our food took so long to hit the table. As for the food....my wife said her steak and salad were delicious (and she can be a steak snob. Lol). As for my BBQ, and I'm definitely a BBQ snob, it was ok... nothing to write home to Mom about. The brisket was overcooked, dry and stringy. The ribs, although cooked to perfection, were kinda bland. They weren't sweet or savory, they were just 'blah'. The sausage was solid, but definitely not house made. The beans were ranch style (not the brand but actually the style) and we're ok. I did like the tator salad though. I could taste a bacon-y, parmesan-y subtleness that was kinda neat. I know this place just opened, and they're gonna need to work some bugs out, so I'll give them a couple of months and probably give them another try. Historically, the location has been a killer for anything that goes in there. There's no good way to get there. You have to exit a LONG way before the restaurant and if you miss it, you have to turn around a go WAY back up the highway. Biggest problem is that if you do miss it, you're hit with every kind of chain restaurant easily available. Also, if you visit at night, the front entrance is not well lit. You can barely see the entrance doors, so the place kinda looks closed (other than cars in the parking lot). It just doesn't give the impression of being inviting. You walk up the porch and wonder, "Am I at the right doors?". Anyways, that's my two cents. Hope it helps. read more

Our trip thru the south ended in Ennis and being from Hawai'i, my top wish while in Texas (after boots and a hat) was to eat some really good steak. RCC showed up atop the Yelp recommendations, so we went there on 10/21 at 645pm. I was pleasantly surprised that our rather large group of 7 was seated immediately...the place was over 3/4 full. I chose the 18oz wagyu ribeye and waited in anticipation as I saw (and could smell) the plates coming from the kitchen. After 42 minutes of waiting (several tables near us had eaten and left during this time) the waitress refilled our water and said that a large party had bogged down the kitchen and that our order was up next. Fair enough, though the jokes about having to catch the beef in the nearby pasture started. At 67 minutes, my 83 y/o aunt breaks out some crackers she carries and starts eating them (no bread or other table item is served). At 88 lbs, she skipped lunch in anticipation of this meal, and was really hungry, as we all were. At 81 minutes, a different waiter comes to the table to apologise, saying they lost our order. He will personally get the kitchen on it asap. The place is less than half capacity by this time. We were considering leaving but for how hungry we were. At 87 minutes, our food comes out. My steak is the smallest 18 oz piece of meat I've ever seen, but it is good. My sister-in-law's steak (done medium) is literally raw in the center. My aunt ordered the pork chops and it was so tuff with gristle, she could not cut it. I thought at 83, maybe she was too weak, so I assisted--yup, this was the toughest pork chop i ever met. They inspected the pork chop and decided to comp us for my aunt's meal, esp. since she didn't/couldn't eat it--ended up at a fast food place for her dinner later. That fact alone prevented this from being a 3 alarm dumpster fire. Wife was against a tip of any kind, but I tipped anyway for the waiter who came out to personally correct the situation. Disclaimer: I'm no foodie, but I know and enjoy steak. Also, I may be spoiled because I'm used to eating at Morton's and Ruth's Chris back home. But I expected much better from this place. I have some feedback by way of improvement: 1) check on each table at least every 20-30 min 2) if no food is brought out after 45 min, bring some bread 3) don't rush your product or the quality will suffer Any of these, alone or in combination, would have improved this experience. read more

Congrats to Ruston! A great local place for a fun dinner. Casual bench seating, nice staff and good food. We went with a party of 11 for a birthday and while the service is not fast, it's attentive and hospitable. Get the Wagyu ribeye. Don't think about it. Started with the wagyu burnt ends as an app - delish. Salad was extra but needed the greens to offset the rich food and meat-a-palooza. Steaks come with baked potato but we also opted for the smoked mac n cheese, which was good but not necessary. I ordered my steak rare and it came out as expected - a little less rare than I would expect at a top end steakhouse but exactly as I like it - what I would call medium rare. Husband did the 2 meat wagyu brisket and jalapeño sausage but my ribeye was definitely the winner. Decent wine selection with top end cab at $40/bottle being affordable and complementary to the steak. Live music was a bonus. Not an overly loud band but nice country music by a talented guitarist/singer. We were sitting right by the stage and it was not overwhelming. Will definitely be back!! read more

I was disappointed with the queso and sweet tea. Queso was old and thick, sweet tea wasn't sweet. However, WAGYU STEAK was BOMB!!! I always have to have A1 with my steak but not today! Was so good and full of flavor. I got mine medium well so it wasn't as tender but it was still so juicy and yummy! I wish they had more desserts to offer and more appetizers, but it was still great! Baked potato was good as well! Such great customer service, one of the ladies brought my daughter some cookies while we waited on the food! read more

Ruston Cattle Company - WAGYU Ribeye, Mac and cheese, loaded baked potato. - Steakhouses Near Me - Ennis, Texas

My husband and I visited for the first time after hearing lots of great reviews. We both ordered the ribeye that comes with a baked potato. The flavor was amazing but probably the fattiest ribeye that we've ever had. It wouldn't keep me from going back because as I said the flavor was great but it was disappointing. Now I love some fat on my steak but this was to the point of cutting off a piece and your whole bite was nothing but fat. I wish there were more veggie options for sides but the baked potato did not disappoint and they do a great job of actually overloading the toppings. We also tried the smoked queso which was also amazing. I would be in heaven if they offered a smoked queso with their brisket in it too! Also, while our waitress was super sweet she was just a little slow in getting drinks out. We would have spent even more money if it didn't take as long to get drink orders to the table. read more

We have been two weeks in a row for dinner and will keep going back. The bbq is excellent!!! The staff is friendly and the live music is a plus. If you haven't been, you're missing out.
