amazing service and a great waitress named Megan and i loved the food so much as much as my favorite waitress Megan

Visiting from Utah and Mia was out waitress and she was so attentive and sweet!! I got the santa fe salad and it was so yum

I wish I had read the reviews before I ate here. I gave it two stars instead of one because my wife had the Southwest Shrimp Paste and said the pasta sauce was very tasty and she got a large portion. I had a baked sweet potato that was good but the 6 oz sirloin was just about the worst tough, stringy steak I have ever had. The service was slow and the grumpy, bored waitress had dirty looking braided hair. This is not a place I will come back to. read more

Excellent food and unbelievable fast! Alyssa my server was one of the best I've experienced in my travels! Very sweet sincere and so attentive!! They have added southwest egg rolls to the menu and they were amazing!! Great job Santa Fe Cattle co! FYI y'all need more servers with attitude like Alyssa! She gets it! read more

It took us of 2 hours wait to get our food. We told the waitress we would pay for our salad and my tea but canceled our order. She apologized but no food. read more

Waiter was outside in back of restaurant smoking and on his phone, food was cold, didn't bring me or my son a baked potatoe, said they are out. Waiter was very slow to get food out, wasnt familiar with menu. Another time I went to pick up window to order a couple of steaks, girl at counter said they aren't taking any take out orders, they're too busy. This is for Ardmore Santa Fe. read more

Our waitress WONDERFUL. The food and the restaurant-will not be going back. Had to change our order several times because the restaurant was out of the items on the menu. The cooler was down in the kitchen, the kitchen was dirty, they were understaffed, the restaurant itself was hot. Just an overall bad experience. Definitely felt bad for our waitress. read more

Santa Fe Cattle Co. is a small regional chain restaurant with around 20 locations in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma & Tennessee. A real southern style super casual joint that has a giant whiskey barrel of free salty peanuts that greets everyone at the front door. Then as you enter there are buckets of peanuts & peanut shells at every table, all over the floor, the bar, all over the dead gum place! I mean you can toss them up & down & throw 'em all around no one gives a shitters. LOL Come in yer boots, cutoffs & overalls, not a problem. It's a country kinda place with laid back fun redneck style! With the stuffed armadillos, giant longhorn cow head & very cleaver redneck outhouse art posted all around, you can wear yer jeans with holes in both knees & a patch on yer arse, heck, yer lookin real purdy in this joint! Especially with one of those super refreshing redneck teas in each hand. Heck yea, double fisted redneck tea is practically mandatory. Its basically a Long Island with ever clear instead of Vodka that's served in a giant mason jar. After a day on the lake you can cruise on in, throw a few longnecks back or have a couple redneck teas outside under the stars in their cattle pen. When they first opened they had a real cowboy horse saddle barstool at the end of the bar, I must have wore a hole in it drinkin all them redneck teas bc they done took the dead gum thing out & replaced it with a regular bar stool! Why do people have to go mess with perfection? Geeezz :( "Bring back the dead gum saddle folks!" Ya'll bollocksed that up good :( Santa Fe hand cuts all their USDA aged steaks by their in house butcher & everything on the menu is scratch made. The burgers are ground fresh every day never frozen. The fresh baked yeast rolls are light, chewy & served pipping hot right out the over with their cinnamon butter. The 16oz ribeye steak is very popular. All the steaks are cooked to your liking with your choice of sides like baked potato, salad, mashed potato, sweet potato, cole slaw, etc., The chicken fried steak is big enough for 2. It comes hanging off the plate every time with mashed tators & your choice of white or brown gravy. I love all the super fresh salads & the salmon. The salmon is giant, grilled & seasoned to your liking, I order it blackened with a double side of salad YUM! I think it's the best thing on the menu next to the amazballs death burger. The death burger is one spicy slap in yer face hotter than a spanked babies butt on two baby soft buttered buns. A awesome hangover cure :).... They make these giant cheese sticks that are bigger than ball park winers! lol You can only eat one of them big'o winer size cheesy sticks. With 4 to an order they are perfect to share when you are out hangin with your buds ;) I have never been to any of the other locations, I have only been to the Ardmore location when I'm hangin at my lake-house on the weekends. It's one of the best & only places in town to grab some grub & a double fisted redneck tea. The place is FUN with a all day happy hour & the prices are fantastic! My homeboy Josh C, he knows what's up! Just read his review. Like him we usually sit at the bar for the better service, happy hour specials & southernly charming atmosphere with all the other locals. We usually all know each other. Its a small town & we don't judge folks by their relatives lol It gets busier in there than a set of jumper cables at a mexican funeral on the weekends. The few times hubby & I have sat at a table & had dinner the service is slower than a john-deer tractor & sometimes they start running out of everything especially those yummy rolls & the salmon. It doesn't help that most of the waitress's are a few fries short of a happy meal either but they are sure purdy in them painted on jeans with the sexy holes in all the right places that will really crank your tractor! The place is cool, plays great music, It's a super fun atmosphere with a awesome drink menu, fantastic prices & the food is scratch made delicious. On the other hand, sometimes the service is as useful as a ball at a square dance & messed up like a kite in a hail storm. But if you want to have some really good American food & drinks at a really fun casual southern place & ya ain't allergic to peanuts or local nuts come check out the "peanut gallery" especially on your birthday for a little something extra special!

So, I debated updating my review. This week four of us went back to Santa Fe Cattle for lunch. Not crowded and we were seated almost immediately. It took 10 minutes to get someone to take our drink order and 10 more minutes to get our drinks. 15 minutes later we got to order food. We asked for chips and salsa and had to ask for them twice more to get them. Had to ask for drink refills. After almost an hour of waiting for food we tracked down our server to check progress. "Some of it" was allegedly ready. We waited 10 more minutes with no updates and no food. We left and went to Chik Fil A. Service has always been hit or miss at Santa Fe, but this trip was the last straw. Could not be more disappointed, as this has been our go-to for a couple of years. The tables around us were getting food, though there appeared to be some issues that the manager should have handled. Went to Swadley's for the first time today and had great food with great service. Swadley's it is from now on. Caveat Emptor. read more

Our waitress was awesome. We had to ask her to ck on our food because it was extremely long wait. The steaks were dry and over done. French fries weren't hot. Had been sitting for a while. read more

Lovely restaurant which we had high hopes for. However there were staffing issues which weren't relayed to us until after we waited over an hour for our drinks. The food was over two hours after we were seated. My rare steak was medium well. Many items were cold or cooked incorrectly. However Leanna, our server was amazing. Jennifer the manager handled it well after the fact. We'd try again next time we are in town. read more

The service was great. The rolls and butter were amazing. But the steaks had no flavor whatsoever. I feels like they just slapped the meat on the grill and served. Atmosphere Was very good. read more

Orederd a bowl of Chili to go. Received a bowl of rice covered with a super small amount of chili. Staff was nice. Food not so good. read more

We were stuck in town while our truck was in the shop so we decided to try this place out. We sat at the bar and were greeted promptly with a smile. Ordered the wings as an appetizer and were pleased with them!! I ordered the sirloin and shrimp combo and upgraded to the Southwest shrimp. My side was a baked potato. Everything was delicious! I also got the Jack Daniels glaze, sautéed mushrooms and sautéed onions!!! My husband got the spicy southwest burger with fries and he really enjoyed it!!! We will definitely come back if we're in town again!!! read more

My medium-rare steak and no pink to it. Baked potato was far from being done. We saw the server move uneaten rolls from one table to the next. I will say the catfish was good. We decided to try again after years of not visiting. We are officially done going to this location. read more

We went there because someone had told us they had steak. My daughter got steak asked for it to be medium. She cut into it and it was rare and still cold. She sent it back telling them to cut in half and lay face down. They brought it back to be cooked on outside more but inside looked the same and still was not warm in middle. She looked at waitress and said I cannot eat this. She sent back again and by this time her sides were cold. The took off the steak from her bill but she wanted to eat with the rest of her family. I had ribs but they were not falling off the bones as it said and had little taste. My sides were baked sweet potato which was cold and fried okra which was the best thing on my plate. I could go on and on but the rest of my family had issues as well. It was not our server's fault it was in the kitchen. Needless to say we will not be returning when we come from out of town to go to Lake Murray during Thanksgiving which we have been doing for 39 years. We used to go to Fireside but it is not the same as it used to be. We will keep looking. read more

Awful all around. Table was sticky and felt dirty. Our server was nice enough but running way too many tables on her own. Long, long stretches between every process. Never came by to refill drinks until we grabbed her going by. App. Plates were wet and dirty. Wrong side dish for one meal, brown gravy instead of white on another- server says oh yea, the kitchen doesn't pay attention to tickets. Had to triple check daughters chicken stripes for doneness. Beef tips and gravy was like soup- oily, odd soup. Green beans were inedible. Steak had 0 flavor. Crazy disappointing for the amount of money spent. read more

If I can give this negative 5 I would. Awful. Food cold and took over an hour. Nobody cared.

There was some confusion at first with the hostess sitting our table of 7, but our server turned that all around. We told her about the situation, and she fixed us right up, along with great service! We basically didn't have to ask for much, as she was there for napkins & refills. The bar drinks and food were delicious! This will be must-stop when I travel to Ardmore, OK. read more

Had supper in the bar area service was terrible. Brought the bread after the salad had already been eaten. Never asked to refresh my drink. Will never sit in that bar area again. read more

We went here tonight and had Ann for our waitress. We all ordered the sirloins and they were seasoned to perfection. Nothing needed to dip them in. I wished you could get the cinnamon and sugar for the sweet potato separately because I only wanted cinnamon but you can't. If you have ever been to a Logan's it's basically the same thing as Santa Fe. They don't have any ciders on tap or in bottles which sucked. read more

Only 5 stars cause the bartender was awesome. Food sucked but Chanda was great. Had great time and very happy ending

The reviews are low for a reason. A steak ordered medium rare arrived medium well. It seems like the steaks are baked, as they have a chewy texture and no seer on them. The Big A salad was a big Fail in my opinion. They don't even have the ingredients that are on the menu to top it. There was no egg on it, and after the fact the waitress said they were out. She was really sweet, but couldn't make up for the lackluster food. It was 11 dollars for a bag of iceberg with two chicken fingers on it and a side of watery, tasteless "jalapeño?" Ranch. Kids meals are 6.99 and tiny. I spent 70 dollars for the family and left kind of still hungry. The rolls are good though. It might have been an off day, but the trend of low ratings must be for a reason. read more

Santa Fe Cattle - Underwhelming Big A salad. - Steakhouses Near Me - Ardmore, Oklahoma

Living in Ardmore, Oklahoma leaves a person with few choices when going out to eat. Santa Fe is on our short list of places to go. I don't really care for much on their extensive menu, but I do like their steak. I always get the same thing...the smallest filet with a loaded baked potato(sometimes a naked sweet potato). The salad it comes with is sad. Iceberg lettuce , a few chopped tomatoes , shredded cheddar cheese and packaged croutons. My steak always comes out cooked to order or pretty close. The baked potato usually seems like it's been sitting in a steamer tray for hours. The sweet potato is usually better. The rolls are great with the cinnamon butter, but they often forget to bring them. Just ask and they will..ive never had a server that wasn't polite and trying to do their best job. The worst thing about this place is getting seated! Even if the place is empty they tell me there is a 20 minute wait. So strange. Last time we stood at the host stand for 5 minutes and no one acknowledged us! We went and sat at the bar. Bartender was very nice. Altogether, this place isn't horrible...just not that great either. But when you have few choices...it'll do. read more

If you came here wanting a good steak, turn around and go elsewhere. We got the sirloin, ribeye, and fillet and they were all flavorless and cooked wrong, the margaritas were so disappointing, it was so depressing. But the server was awesome and trying her best. read more

I will definitely stop at this location again! We were just passing through. Wanted a good burger and Philly cheesesteak and to our surprise it was delicious! Our server Bobby was an excellent waiter he wasn't even our server but the other server was to busy so he stepped. We will definitely come back! read more

Santa Fe Cattle - no seasoning in breading ..literally just fried flower - Steakhouses Near Me - Ardmore, Oklahoma

Worst service & food ever!! Got there at 5:45. Told there was a 30 min. wait. Ok, fine. 6:45 comes and we still haven't been seated. At this point I feel like we have waiting long enough, we can't leave. Get to our table at 7. Just got our food at 830!!! Then all 3 steaks we got were so burnt we couldn't eat it. The manager says, " I'm sorry. So what do you want from me?" Uhhhh. We want to go boxes. Like now. She says, " do you want us to re make your steaks?" ..... oh hell no! I'm not waiting another 3 hours. I thought I had patience. It was definitely tested today. Not to mention, the girl at the front was snotty & very rude. We will definitely not be back! read more

I've never been in one of these before, but I'm glad I went tonight. Service was great, and so was the food. I had the Chicken Fried Steak, mashed potatoes, all with white gravy, dinner salad and a cup of Chicken Tortillas soup.the CFS could have had a little less "breading", but everything was delicious! read more

Why is it so difficult to get a hot baked potato? Wife's baked potato was not even hot enough to melt butter. Catfish was hot but the inside did not look like catfish from other restaurants. Catfish pieces were also considerably smaller than many other restaurants that serve catfish. Overpriced for a lunch that was very mediocre. read more

Ugh. This is officially on my no-go list. After a not stellar experience a couple years ago, I decided to give it another try. We came in when the place was dead, and still didn't have a good experience. First and foremost, awful service. It took 15+ minutes to get drinks, and our waitresses (yes, more than 1) were inconsistent. One asked us if she had taken our order yet, when she had 10 minutes earlier, then came back and asked us again. The food was blah. It was obviously pre-packaged, and forgettable. On top of it, it was cold, even though we were the only ones there. Our requests were not taken, even when we specified that there were sensitivities. It's a no from me. read more

Group of 9 of us ate here on a Friday evening. We did have to wait a bit but we expected that. The hostess was great and offered to take pics for us. Our waiter was great and I believe everyone's good was cooked as expected. My Chicken Fried Steak was amazing, as were the rolls with cinnamon butter. Before and after pics of my plate. I would recommend this place to anybody. read more

Had family with us and really a shame. They ordered a ribeye medium well. Delivered and blood red. Sent it back and after 10 minutes came back and still not medium well as they ordered. Does Santa Fe not provide the cooks with a Thermapen to check temps? I felt bad as they paid for all our meals but didn't get to enjoy. read more

No wonder this place closed down in okc, the food is dry, chewy, and worse than chili's. The food is basically the same as chili's model only crappier and with shittier service. Got the platter for 2 and regretted it. Seemed like management was. Nonexistent. Seemed unorganized and food took a long time to arrive. The table next to me gave up and just left w/o eating. read more

Terrible service and worse food. Had the sirloin steak and my husband's was overcooked and tough and mine was just terrible!! So tough and with a terrible taste. Peanuts were stale and bad as well. The service was not good slow drink refills only when asked and took forever to get anything. Salad and bread were fine. read more

we went the other day and they were pretty packed. our sever was matt and he was the kindest gentleman we've ever had as a server. even though they were extremely busy, the service was quick and easy. our food came in about 15-20 minutes and it was amazingly cooked and flavorful. the prices are a little high but hey, you get what you pay for! read more

Ordered merlot. Received an extra sweet wine. Gave the waiter the benefit of the doubt and asked if maybe they accidentally poured me a Pinot noir. Restaurant manager came back and told me that this was a 'sweet merlot.' Looked up said Woodbridge merlot, and was surprised to find that the 'sweet merlot' they were selling is an extra dry wine. On top of this, long wait for table as people who arrived after us were given tables. Mistakes made with the bill. Every request for water or refills or missing food took 10-15 min to fulfill. All in all, not worth the money spent. read more

We won't be back. Waited 45 minutes to sit down and there were dirty tables everywhere that no was cleaning to seat anyone. I wouldn't even give it one star. read more
