Texas Cattle Company is always a nice spot for dinner and a solid evening out. We started with the lobster bisque, which was decent but not really worth the price point. The fried mushrooms were cooked perfectly and paired well with the horseradish sauce, though the gator tail was a bit chewy. For the entrée, I had the bone-in dry-aged NY strip. The steak had great flavor, but for the cost, it didn't fully wow me the way I expected. Overall, we still had a good experience and enjoy coming here, but there are a few areas that could use some improvement. read more

First experience at Texas Cattle Company on Friday night as walk ins without reservation. We waited about 15 min to be seated at a hi-top table in the bar area. Not my usual favorite but it was the shortest wait so we took it. We ordered Petite Filet Mignon with side of grilled broccoli ($45) and Double Crispy Parmesan Chicken breasts ($29) with side of mashed potatoes. Each entire came with a house salad with a house dressing and cheese crusted dinner rolls. The Petite filet was served a little more cooked than we ordered however it was quite tasty. The grilled broccoli tasted strange so we left that on the plate. The Double Crispy Parmesan Chicken Breast was humongous covering a platter. In fact, I believe that it could feed 5 -6 adults. I ate a small portion and the leftovers took two take home containers. Now the taste. I thought I was getting grilled chicken with a crispy Parmesan cheese melted over it.....what I got was fried chicken filets with a light Parmesan gravy or sauce on it. This was not my favorite dish. I didn't care for the taste of the chicken and the Parmesan sauce/gravy didn't have much taste. I did bring home the leftovers which we will eat a few times this week with a different sauce each time. The mashed potatoes were typical mashed potatoes. The house salad was pretty good except it included chopped olives throughout and I really dont like olives which was great as my husband loves them so he got extra salad. The cheese crusted dinner rolls were quite good although it would have been nice to have butter with them. I'm sure had we asked, they would have brought some. Overall this was a good experience although quite a bit more pricey than we are used to spending on dinner for two. We may return again for a special occasion. We didn't try the desserts but they looked tasty. read more

I had 2 of my friends refer Texas Cattle Company and they loved it so much I had to try it for myself. I set reservations through OpenTable and once we arrived we had about a 15 min wait. When you walk in it's decorated like an old school steak house, dark floors with dark lighting. Our server greeted us (I believe his name was Shawn) and he was amazing. Since it was our first time visiting he gave us the history and his recommendations. For appetizer we ordered the Fried Mushrooms, they were ok a little salty to be honest. We ordered the Filet Mignon and a Ribeye 22oz. My husband's steak came out hot as well as his baked potato, his literally looked picture perfect. His steak tasted average, I've actually had tastier steaks from chain restaurants compared to this one. As for my filet mignon it was barely luke warm, you could tell that it was sitting at the window for a minute before coming to the table. My side of potatoes were barely warm and extremely dry. I advised the server and he was super apologetic and rushed to get me a new filet. When I got my new filet it was smaller than my original steak and it was colder than my original steak. At this point I didn't send it back anymore and just asked for the check. Needless to say I will never be back to Texas Cattle Company. The amount of we were getting charged I definitely had higher expectations. Service was great but the food horrible. read more

Such a good steakhouse, def the best lakeland has to offer. They are the same people who own Charley's steakhouse in tampa so you know its good! DANG BANG SHRIMP- your classic bang bang shrimp, extra crispy. CAJUN FRIED MUSHROOMS- double fried mushrooms, cant go wrong. Cedar Plank Island Salmon- perfect char and the cedar plank definitely adds to the flavor. A lot of their drink options sounded good but i got the Rose Lemon Drop- a martini with a rose flavored twist. so good i got it twice. The service was so good too. The waiters and some of the management came to say hello to us and they werent snobby at all, they were down to earth. The ambience is your classic steakhouse but also very relaxed. Return? Yes Recommend? Yes read more

Great food and service. Will absolutely go back again! Amazing prices for a steakhouse!

Better food at longhorn. Steak was aweful chewy no flavor. Salad was iceberg and soggy tomatoes. Can not believe it is over $60 for this steak. read more

Every single item I had at this place was absolutely delicious. From the perfectly cooked 16 oz New York Strip and colossal shrimp scampi to the rich bacon and cheddar mashed potatoes--every bite was a hit. The bang bang shrimp had the perfect kick, and the shrimp and lobster bisque was creamy and full of flavor. The garlic cheese and butter bread was dangerously good, and the "Tott" shelf margarita topped it all off perfectly. Shaun took exceptional care of us, attentive, courteous, and truly committed to great customer service. This experience was top-notch from start to finish. read more

We always love going here. The food is amazing. The servers are always very good. We have never had a bad experience there. The worst problem I could think of is that our roles (which are delicious) we're a little overcooked a couple times. But if you ask them for new ones, they will bring them right out without any problems. They are very good at accommodations for large parties too. read more

We came early to try some drinks at the bar before our dinner reservation even though it was very busy for a Saturday night the bartenders handled the bar well and got drinks out quickly. They were made very well. We tried the Old fashioned and Watermelon Celebration. Once our reservation came up they sat is quickly and our waitress JP greeted us and explained the menu. Our food was delicious and the meal was spaced out perfectly. I was so impressed with the service and the quality of food. read more

We VERY much enjoyed our recent dining experience at Texas Cattle Co. in Lakeland. Our dinner was absolutely SUPERB and VERY memorable. It was truly a culinary DELIGHT. My hubby and I both LOVED our PERFECTLY prepared wood grilled pork chops which were EXTRA thick, ginormous and yet somehow EXTREMELY juicy. Each bite was SO flavorful and delicious! Truly, they were the BEST pork chops I have EVER had! Their crispy Dang Bang Shrimp appetizer was excellent as well. We also enjoyed their FRESH bottomless salad bowls and WARM buttery garlic rolls! Plus, Reyna, our WONDERFUL waitress created a seamless dining experience which really added to our pleasurable evening. She was extremely knowledgeable about the menu, communicated very well, and was refreshingly engaging, professional, sweet and kind. We CAN'T WAIT to go back! read more

Another great dinner at Texas Cattle Company in Lakeland. We had reservations and were seated on time. Had the gator appetizer. Very delicious. We all decided on the center cut sirloins for the main course. I topped my steak with blue cheese. Definitely a great choice! Our waitress Pj was on point. It was a great dinner and we will return. Best steakhouse in Lakeland! read more

I want to give Texas Cattle Company a huge shout-out--not just for the food, but for how they handled a situation that could have gone the other way. We had a less-than-great experience initially, and honestly, it was disappointing. But what happened after that completely changed everything. The follow-up wasn't just better--it was 1000% better, and that says a lot about the character of this restaurant. A massive part of that turnaround was our waiter, Cannon. He was absolutely outstanding--professional, attentive, genuine, and clearly someone who takes pride in what he does. Cannon didn't brush anything off or make excuses; instead, he went above and beyond to make sure we felt heard and taken care of. His attitude alone turned the entire experience around. Mistakes can happen anywhere. What matters is how a place responds--and Texas Cattle Company nailed it. Between the management's follow-through and Cannon's exceptional service, they earned our respect and our return business. Because of Cannon and the way this was handled, we'll absolutely be back--and we'll be asking for him by name. read more

Have been coming here since the 90s. Celebrated many family birthday dinners here. While the food has usually been pretty consistently good, the prices have had to (obviously) increase over the years. Now, the birthday discount is $25 off (with purchase of 2 entrees) and the cowgirl steak (which used to be the free birthday steak) is currently $54. With the mandatory gratuity fee of 21% (for the birthday promotion), the discount almost covered the tip. *FYI: discount is valid only on birthday with a FL's drivers license which you give to your server to verify. Service has been inconsistent over the years - sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not so good. The last few times we went for someone's birthday, it seemed like we were waiting around a lot after we were done eating (most likely, just due to having new servers). This visit, we had cajun fried mushrooms as an appetizer (very tasty with crunchy breading and great peppery seasoning), unsweetened tea ($5 & tasted weird/probably due to the water?), and a blueberry mojito (good, but much better at other restaurants in Ybor/Tampa) for drinks. For entrees- we had the cowgirl steak with mashed potatoes and the double pork chops with loaded Texas fries. Steak was great as usual, red mashed potatoes were flavorful with garlic and green onions. Pork chops were also great as were the loaded Texas fries (per my husband). The complimentary house salad is always good (with green olives and vinaigrette) and cheesy soft bread rolls were a nice surprise (tasted different from the last time we visited when the bread was hard). *TLDR: Texas cattle company is great for a pricier steakhouse meal in Lakeland. Food is consistently good. We spent $140 for two people (with a birthday discount). The ambiance is informal / casual. We were able to get in no problem with "day of" reservations (soon after opening at 4pm). Next year though, I think I would rather spend more money and go to Bern's steakhouse in Tampa for a more "special" dining experience. read more

Just got home from visiting Texas Cattle Co. and would like to give my experience. Got seated and got our drinks, which was water by the way, we ordered an appetizer, which was the Bluechips, excellent choice, then ordered our meals, thought they would be our salad next but waited almost 15 minutes just for the salad, I guess our server had forgotten about us. We had to ask another server what was going on and then we finally got our salads then our entrees which were very good. I just didn't think that the service we received was up to par for an upscale steak house, that was my only complaint, everything else was fine, we definitely would recommend Texas Cattle Co. read more

I'm a steak snob. Over time, I got to the point where I basically stopped eating steak at restaurants altogether. Nothing seemed to compare to what I could do at home with a reverse sear on the Kamado Joe and some rubs from Whiskey Bent. But recently, I tried the Cattle Baron 22oz ribeye, It was the best ribeye I've had in a restaurant setting. It even edged out some of the big names--better than Bern's, Ruth's Chris, Steelbach, and Fleming's in my book. read more

I'm sad to say that we unfortunately won't be returning. Texas Cattle Company has always been our go-to place for special occasions, and we've had good experiences there in the past. My husband and I even made reservations there for our last two anniversaries. Last year the experience was definitely off and not good, but we decided to give it another chance this past weekend. Unfortunately, both of our steaks -- each over $60 -- were served barely warm. My husband's steak was extremely tough; it was so difficult to cut that the entire plate moved across the table as he tried. Quite surprising for medium rare. The replacement steak they brought out was also very poor quality, full of tendon and very chewy. Do better TCC. read more

Service was excellent! Steak was cooked perfectly. Best place for date night. Server amber was excellent! Will be coming back and most definitely getting the sweet butter cake read more

my wife and I went to Texas on the night of March 11. We made a reservation and was seated on time. We ordered lobster bisque and it was very good. Our server was excellent. The problem we had was we ordered two filet mignon's, and they were very late getting to our table. When we did get them, they were lukewarm best. My wife only ate a little bit of hers. The taste was not good. The server apologized for a meal being so late. We didn't send them back because we had waited so long and we didn't want to wait for another pair of steaks We were really anxious to have a great time and a good meal and again there were parts of of the were great. It was just the steak itself was not very good. read more

We went for our 25th anniversary celebration and this was by far the best meal we've had in our 4 years in Lakeland!! We made a reservation on our way there and when we were seated there was a card signed by the staff which was an awesome touch. The service was perfect from beginning to end. It appeared they had all of us parties celebrating something off in a side room which was kinda of cool because the rest of the place was busy. I don't even know where to start when it comes to describing the food! This was the best meal I've had in a very long time!! It's pricey but worth every penny. Thank you for making our night special. read more

My husband and I had dinner May 9, 2026, our first time. We started with the fried gator & bang bang shrimp delicious. Ribeye. The fried chicken breast, asparagus, loaded potatoes, broccoli, garden salad, blue rose texas drink with patron, so big you can share. Tristan our waiter was super great. It was a date night the ambiance was great. Make sure you make reservations, or you wait have to wait. Everything was great. Dessert we took home chocolate cake & salted caramel cheesecake both delicious. We will definitely do it again. One of the top great restaurants in lakeland. read more

Our visit was not at all worth the prices that they are asking for. It was too noisy, you couldn't even hear each other at our table speaking. The food was ok but way...way over priced. I have gotten better steaks at other competitive places for half the price, and add-ons are what really jacks your price way up, gotta have that truffle-butter. I literally felt robbed when I left. But if you have money to burn...this is the place you should go...Probably not. read more

We've been going to Texas Cattle Company since 1992. We always celebrate birthdays here. The food is outstanding as is the service. We love the newest remodel and ambiance. Taylor was our server last night...love her friendliness and attitude! You will easily get multiple meals from all of the leftovers since the portions are so large! Enjoy!!! read more

It's an ever age steak house that's wildly overpriced and plays this weird birthday gimmick where you get a free steak, you don't get a free steak, you get this little tiny one and it's a whole run around. It's a fun experience but you'll spend $200 for 2 people and just kinda wish you didn't read more

Very expensive steaks, but totally worth it. Servers were very polite and knowledgeable. We had Krystal (if I recall correctly) amd she explained us the story of the establishment. All of the foods were full of flavor. Without a doubt, the best steak I've ever had (the truffle butter, chef's kiss) totally worth $40-$50. read more

Twice I have come here with a reservation. And twice I arrived 10 minutes prior to my reservation and was sat 30 minutes after my reservation. What is the point of a reservation then? The food is very good. Atmosphere is old and dated. Looks like shoneys and Texas Roadhouse had a baby read more

The steaks are actually pretty good. I remember when the "cowgirl "steak was so large that you could not finish it. That is most certainly not the case now, in 2025. Every time we go, the portions continue to shrink and the prices continue to go up. Not long ago, you would have so much food, you would need a stretcher to get back to the car. Again, that is most certainly not the case now. They tried to make the portions look bigger by using smaller and differently shaped plates. A pretty slick trick if you ask me. But my belly tells me different. They do try to fill you up on bread and salad so you're pretty much almost full by the time you get your much smaller steak. Just keep that in mind when you go. The sides are fair, the chicken is fantastic (again the portion size has gone down significantly, and the rest of the food is mostly good. They serve Pepsi products which 90% of the time it tastes flat. Sweet tea is so-so. Just go with water, but keep in mind it is unfiltered so the chlorine taste is strong. Air-conditioning system there is fair at best, it is always very humid of the side. They really should have it looked at. Did I mention the portion sizes? A complete disappointment. Expect to pay $175+ for a party of 4, without alcoholic drinks. Other than that, not too bad. read more

There is only one dressing for the salad. That's not so bad. My husband likes it, shocker! It's not as busy as I remember. It's been 30 years also. They used to give you a free steak dinner but now it $25 off. My steak, the Ribeye, came out perfect. Baked potato was excellent. It wasn't as bad as I remember. The interior hasn't changed one bit! Will probably go back. read more

Best steaks in town, personally I love the real flavor that you get when you cook on an open pit. The taste is unmistakable and the cuts portion for a king or a queen.. shrimp scampi, and the baked potatoes are excellent . This is another place Do not bypass the drinks. My friend loves the watermelon martini ... do we have any pictures from where we went to talk to town restaurant baby where we got the steaks where we got the steaks you got the watermelon celebration martini... read more

I took my daughter to this establishment for her birthday after thoroughly enjoying our visit on my birthday 2 months ago. Once again, the visit was fabulous! I noticed another review about prices and feel I must respond...This is a STEAK HOUSE and, sadly, beef prices have risen tremendously in the past few years. But my favorite grocery store does not prepare a wonderful meal for me, serve me in a comfortable booth, and take sure I'm pleased with my meal. read more

My husband surprised me and took me to Texas Cattle Company on my birthday, March 13. He made a reservation, and we were seated quickly. We had two exceptional waiters, Sean and Nick, who were very attentive and helpful. Our waiter suggested the Bang Bang shrimp, which were delicious and a great choice. My pork chop was fantastic, the best I have ever had. My husband's steak was a bit tough, but very tasty. We will be back. I like the country western atmosphere. read more

Texas Cattle Company - Booth seat - Steakhouses Near Me - Lakeland, Florida

As former Lakeland residents, my parents really hyped this place up and for the most part, the hype was met. Just walking in you get that old style Texas vibes with dimmed lights, a buffalo head staring you down, and a lot of boots. That gives Texas, right? But if anything the hospitality measures up to that Texas standard. Staff all very pleasant. Ashly P was our server and definitely had us feel right at home. Very patient too. As my mother said, food was on point! Started with Cajun Fried Mushrooms that I thought were nicely flavored and not overwhelming on the Cajun kick. Paired great with the tiger sauce. I had a Gary's Old Fashioned which rode that fine line between bitter, smoky, and sweet, but didn't necessarily wow me. The Shrimp & Lobster Bisque brought in the wow factor. As an upgrade from my salad, I stopped using my spoon halfway through! Try dipping the Garlic Cheese Butter Bread; may not be the first but imma claim it as my contribution. Now this is a steakhouse, so when in Texas, right, that's a saying? Either way, the 22oz Ribeye looked like a ribeye, but must've just came from a hefty heifer. The flavor was there, went great with the Truffle Butter, but my only complaint was I asked for medium rare, and it came out more rare. They did ask us all to cut into the steak when they initially sat it down, a nice sentiment I figured I just cut a rare piece and would find the medium, but at this point I was already approaching full, so I figured I'd just sear it some at home. Temperature aside, the rest of my family was happy with their cuts and temps, and although a slight mishap for me, I'm not deterred enough to not come back and am excited to do so for that Bday Steak! read more

We made reservations and were seated as soon as we arrived. A member of our party was in a wheelchair and this restaurant was very accommodating for that with ramps and seating. The manager and staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We all ordered different steaks. I ordered a center cut Filet mignon 12 oz. Someone else order 22oz ribeye, someone else ordered the cowgirl T-bone, and our last person ordered the petite filet mignon. All the steaks were cooked perfectly! Enjoyed every bite! We also order the gator as an appetizer which was tasty but a bit chewy... a bit over cooked. Someone ordered the shrimp and lobster bisque and he said it was amazing! The Loaded Baked potato's were really very good, and the garlic butter broccoli was a surprising hit! The side salads were a waste, it was under dressed and nothing was in it... just lettuce. The cheesy bread was yummy! They mixed our drinks perfectly! Our waiter was so funny and on top of everything. The atmosphere was a western vintage and family friendly. We were able to have good conversations at the table without feeling neighbors were on top of us! I wish I could have tried desserts but I was so full! We will definitely go again. Really enjoyed ourselves. read more

My family of 6 more people dined there for the second time in a year. We actually sat at the same table and Tristan was our waiter, as he was a year ago! He was the best.
