Had opportunity to have a "date night Alberta " and we went to the cattle baron for dinner Have to say the wait staff was excellent and more than accommodating! Just wanted to mention that the restaurant is decorated lovely however the lighting is not good at all. As being a young senior I had to take out my phone and put the flashlight on to be able to read the menu . Also extremely hard to see what you are eating with such low lighting. We mentioned this to our lovely waitress and she as well Agreed that the lighting was poor. I would love to return however not being able to read menu and see really what we are eating I would maybe hold off until they turned up the lights just a tad other than that the staff certainly made up for the lack of lighting read more

This was my 2nd visit to this restaurant and probably my last. I ordered the veal with garlic mashed and veggies. The broccoli was cooked perfectly the veal was paper thin and they skimped on the gravy but the deal breaker was the long hair I had to pull out of my throat. I was polite and didn't make a scen when what I really wanted to do was throw up. The manager asked me if I wanted her to expedite another meal at my cost and the server told me she could.bring me more veggies and ring them in as a side dish. Unsurprisingly I couldn't even contemplate eating anything else and sat there awkwardly while.my husband uncomfortably ate hos meal only half enjoying it because he felt guilty eating while I went hungry. When the bill came they dis not charge me for the meal I didn't eat but they also didn't even offer to cover my drink. I am so disappointed in the way management handled this situation. I have managed many businesses and would never have allowed any of my customers to leave feeling anything less than happy with the service. Our server was nice and attentive and thats the only reason Im giving a 2 star. read more

I've went to numerous steakhouses across the world. I've eaten almost every type of cut and grade from USA to Asia including A5 and Kobe and Wagyu. I must say that Alberta's AAA with a 28 day dry aged process has made these steaks impeccable and ranks in my top 10 and that is without breaking the bank. I had the bone-in 20 oz Cowboy Ribeye with twice baked potato and a side of mushrooms, bernaise sauce, and brussel sprouts. Everything tasted amazing! Our server Amanda was also very knowledgeable and professional and provided exemplary customer service. The restaurant decor is nice, clean, and modern but had the right amount of Texan Cowboy flare with an intimate dimly lit setting. I was so impressed. I'm reserving it for my daughter's 16th birthday party. read more

This is a very popular steak house, there are better, but the dining experience is on point. The last few times I have been with a large group. I must admit, with one server serving a table of 11 plus, no mistakes were made, and we were not kept waiting for long. We shared and passed around appetizers, calamari was cook to perfection, very tasty, moist and soft to the chew. The rib appetizer is recommended, and would really go well with a beer in the bar as an nibbly! I cannot comment on the escargot, the plate as empty by the time it got to me, I tried the seasoning and butter with a bit of bread and it was seasoned very well. The bread and whipped butter is a staring role by itself. Soft on the inside, firm and crunchy on the exterior, not too hard. You would be surprised at how much you could eat if you were not careful. I started with the suggested Blackberry-Ginger Burbon Smash, very expensive ($18) but an interesting cocktail, personally not ginger enough, barely tasted it, but still a good cocktail. Very appealing to the eye as well. The main course was the Baron cut of prime rib, very tender, easy to chew. I was a. It surprised because the person sitting across from me ordered the regular cut. I'm being totally honest there we are difference, but very hard to tell. The au Jus was flavourful, the meat itself (in my opinion) needed as bit more exterior flavouring. It was good with the au Jus, good with the asked for Horse Radish (the HOTTEST HR I have EVER had you only need a bit!) Eat the beef plain and it was an under seasoned piece of beef. Twice baked potato was yummy, and the veggies were fresh and cook to perfection. This place is pricy, depending on what you get your value for money may vary. It is a bit of a Landmark in the south, if you haven't tried it, I would suggest you do. read more

OMG what a great strip steak we had. Outstanding service and excellent menus selections. Good wine and liquor list too with some beers. Highly recommend . Our bus driver on our Rocky Mountaineer trip highly suggested the two restaurants in Calgary. We are at the southern facility and agree with our driver. read more

Great food and, for these times, not bad pricing. Service is impeccable. We're heading there again this evening and very much looking forward to the meal.... read more

The steak was a little overcooked, overpriced, too salty and too thin. But other than that, the service was fine, and the ambiance was nice. read more

You guys wanna try this place out I've had steak all over the world in this place is the best I've ever had! Great price point Chef knows exactly what he's doing.

I've eaten here a few times and it is amazing beyond belief!. My steak was Absolutley perfect!! The veggies were awesome. It literally was the best mean imaginable. And ... they made me a Bellini. Cannot say enough positive about this place. read more

pretty hard to improve on this place. My baked potato could have been a bit hotter maybe. Our party of nine were all pleased with the food and drinks. Our server(Howard) was both entertaining and efficient. Everything was delivered to us accurately and in good time. The wine that was suggested was great and no one complained about drinks or anything else for that matter. My 'well done' steak was even tender. I found the prices reasonable. Very nice surroundings and extremely friendly staff. I would love to go back. read more

Been a few times now but only once for a full dinner. Mainly I've gone for a few cocktails & appetizers during their happy hour. The service was quite exceptional as the staff was very courteous, professional & as I was at the bar they were more than happy to have a conversation when they were free. The drinks were all well made & tasted quite well. The food was very good as well & even while they were busy it came out quickly. While I was only there the one time for a full dinner I can say it was all well cooked, steaks were made to everyone's different levels & even w the large group we were in it all came out at the same time. read more

Took the wife there for a special occasion. We ordered and paid for the filet and were served sirloin. There is a definite taste to both of these cuts and it is not close. Server didn't seem to be appropriate for the job and couldn't answer simple questions about the menu items. There are so many great steakhouses in Calgary don't waste your money here. read more

Traci was our server and Diane was the manager. Both were amazing. It was our first time to Calgary and the restaurant was recommended by Hampton Inn at the airport. Good recommendation, the steaks (ribeye and net York strip) were very good the service was excellent and they took the time to share key points of destination during our visit. Food 5* Service 5* Location- convenient read more

Our family ate there last week, it was our son's birthday. I mentioned this when I made the reservation a few days earlier. Dinner was good, the steaks and prime rib were excellent, very tasty. Since there's no children's menu our young boy ordered the burger. $16 +$1.50 for cheese ... fatburger or a&w would have been a better choice. My wife ordered the fillet and shrimp special for $36 (or so we thought). The fillet was excellent but the shrimp were very small and sad. Nothing like the shrimp cocktail ... When we got our bill, we found that the special was $43 not 36. We complained but the waiter wouldn't correct the bill. We all heard $36. Finally there was no acknowledgement of our son's birthday. I paid our bill and I adjusted the tip accordingly. This is a fine restaurant. It's too bad they don't take good care of their customers. We'll go elsewhere for our next big family dinner. read more

A very nice and clean spot to eat. Servers are very kind and gentle when speaking. Food is served rather quickly and is fresh from what it tastes of. The management is very professional and nice including the occasional busing crew. One of my favourite people their being Miles. He is a very nice young gentleman and I would like to honour his memory for me whenever I pop into the steakhouse. Overall could be better in terms of flavour of food as it can sometimes be watered down. But an overall recommended restaurant/dine in steakhouse to visit. read more

Super yummy! Our waiter was very friendly, and the food was phenomenal! The brie was fantastic! The toasted walnuts were read more

Wanted to order in, they are exclusive to Skip the dishes. The full menu is not on SKD so I changed up the order and skipped dessert. I had spoken to the restaurant itself and she told me it would be done as an add-on. SKD called to inform me that they could not take the card over the phone and would not take cash at the door. Cattle Barron could have thrown in the béarnaise sauce but chose to let the customer down, unfortunate. The food steak was perfect, veggies literally not cooked and the $8.00 side of mushrooms tasted oddly acidic, not even edible. Twice-baked potato was the star of the meal. I will not go out of my way to eat here again based solely on lack of service. If you have an opportunity to go above and beyond for a repeat customer, you should probably do it. This is a very expensive restaurant and they should step up. I am in Calgary every 2 weeks, next time it will be the Keg for sure. read more

Always great! Comfortable atmosphere. Great staff. Sorry dropped your rating as you have limited customer service experience. I wanted to pay the tab for an employee who was having dinner, celebrating his wife's birthday. The staff that answered the phone said they could not do that !! What has this world come to? And, why does a business not say Fuck It and take the chance to prove that traditional values are worth the risk. read more

Needing to have some Alberta beef in Calgary and this is the place I chose. Coming here at like 2p on a Saturday it was empty. Literally only one car and one table occupied. The rib eye was delicious. And this twice baked potatoes, delicious. Topped with chives and bacon made it awesome. The steak salad though while large with three skewers of steak was plenty but the steak sauce on the steak, what is it hiding? Still tasted good but I just like the pure taste of the ribeye. The waitress was very nice and cause we were one of two/three tables, came often enough for what we needed but certainly wasn't pushy. It was in this odd business plaza where nothing else was open. Hope it has more people at other times. read more

Average overall. The steak was very disappointing for a steakhouse that is usually very good.

I was pleasantly surprised by my experience here! I'd been here a few years ago and it was 'meh'. The service was great! Our server in particular was very friendly and attentive. The food was wonderful. The steak was cooked perfectly and the sides were good, except for the vegetables, which could have been cooked a bit longer. The only semi-negative point I have is the cocktails. While the old-fashioned I ordered was good, it was way too sweet. Overall, a good night out! read more

My most recent visit to the Cattlebaron was outstanding. Went there with a large group of 12 people, and not only did our steaks come quickly but each order was correct. Our server was super friendly and was knowledgable with respect to wine pairings and dessert options. The restaurant is quiet and the atmosphere is more modern than your average steakhouse. I highly recommend this place for large groups whether for family get-togethers or teambuilding business outings. After dinner we were free to visit and enjoy dessert for almost an hour and a half after we had finished her dinner nice relaxing evening. read more

After visiting the the Spruce Meadows Christmas Market my wife and I decided to give these guys a shot. They've been around for so long but neither of us had ever tried them out. Despite being a busy Friday night, we were able to get a table with almost no wait. Our server was good, a little on the chatty side, but always right there when needed. The food was good. I had the prime rib, my steakhouse go-to. The server warned that the horse radish could peel paint, which was a great warning, but also I love a good strong horse radish on my steak/rib. The letdown for me here was being talked into an expensive mediocre bottle of wine. The server gave a sob story about the California wildfires wiping out many vinyards so the restaurant wanted to help out by promoting wines from the area, but also save patrons money before prices go up due to the lack of product coming from the area in the coming years. The story was good, it obviously worked because I got a bottle, but the wine was shit...errr...severely disappointing. The whole evening was good though despite the wine. read more

Birthday dinner definitely recommend, sad they didn't have gluten free bun but other then that amazing food and super friendly servers!

Awesome steak and service. Been there twice in 3 months and both times excellent!!!!!!!!!!!

Reasonably priced for steakhouse; had NY strip well cooked, well seasoned and tasty, but didn't look like 10oz; wife's roast au jus was tasty but partially grisly; chicken parm was excellent but wish the pasta sauce was not limited to alfredo; peppercorn sauce was a star could have been hotter to keep from being lumpy; mushroom order oddly was sliced. Definitely will a second chance read more

Always enjoy Cattlebaron. Excellent meals and service. Haven't tried the new location in the North west yet, but imagine it's as good as the others read more

First time eating at Cattle Baron with significant other. Eric was our server and he was very professional and friendly. He checks us often to see if everything was good. The food was great, we ordered rib eye with ceasar salad and salt n pepper prawns for appetizer. The rib eye just melts in your mouth and was cooked and plated perfectly. The ambiance and lighting was good giving the atmosphere a touch of class and upscale cozziness. Ryan the manager was kind enough to visit our table to see that we had a splendid time. The mud pie is a must to try. Definitely recommend for a great dining experience. Good for couples, family and groups. read more

Update: Came back for a second chance. Ordered the same as last time (steak). This time the service was fantastic they didn't have 1 person running all of lounge + behind the bar....they seemed to be fully staffed this time. Food wait time wasn't bad at all. 3stars now 5stars read more

Went here tonight and the service and meal was incredible. Very nice ambiance in the steakhouse with plenty of great food options. I had the steak and prawns and it was a perfect medium rare with the double stuffed potato! A must have if you have the privilege of coming to the Cattlebaron! It was also rated one of the top 10 steakhouses in Alberta and with Alberta beef that is a major accomplishment! Will be returning! read more

Hmmmm. . . , came to CattleBaron for an Xmas party and the reviews had me excited to eat. While the service was good, the food was disappointing. I ordered chicken breast stuffed with spinach and feta, which came with a side of rice and roasted veg. The rice looked and tasted like Uncle Ben's, the vegetables were mushy and the chicken looked like it came in a plastic wrapper.. . , which was taken out of a box. . . . that was purchased at Costco. I feel bad that my boss had to pay for a meal like that for 26 of us. Won't be returning. read more

It's like they have never seen a steak before in their life. Aksed for MR steak, got a MW. Terrible service and atmosphere, felt like I was being ingnored in a gas station restaurant in a border town. 0/5. Overpriced and tastless. Try harder please read more

We've been to the Cattle Baron before, but it's been at least 3 years since our last visit. I am not a beef eater, so I had the Ahi Tuna. I have to say it was the best I've ever had. Absolutely delicious! The other 3 diners I went with had steak. All of them said Cattle Baron has the best tasting steak ever. My husband usually uses HP sauce...he didn't even open the bottle. No need for it. Service was great. Having been there before and knowing how busy it gets we were there at 4pm when it opened and the parking lot was filling up fast. Before we got our main course the restaurant was packed. read more

I have visited this restaurant two times and both times it got A's from me and my family for its Grade A steak. This Midnapore option is kind off the beaten path but well worth it. My mother and I discovered Cattle Baron one day while strolling along with her wheelchair. She ordered the dry ribs and I the prime rib medium rare... well needless to say the dry ribs were abandoned and I noticed my steak shrinking, the meat was done with such perfection, so tender and so succulent, and in minutes flat it was gone. I returned with a bigger party and this time my mother and I both ordered the prime rib. Did I mention ordering the prime rib? Each order comes with a choice of salad, fries baked potato or whipped potato with garlic butter, and we both choose the latter every time. This restaurant not only exceeds you expectations steak wise but it gets huge points on its service and the attention given to you as a client. The tables are always impeccable, the staff so friendly and genuine, and we have always had such great dining experiences here. Now to get to the prices, my mother was so impressed by our $30 bill that she left the waiter a $10 tip because that is what she had expected to pay. A much better option in my opinion than Ruth Chris' Steakhouse for well over half the price. read more

I have been to this location a few times and have decided to post a review. Even when busy, the hostess always manages to seat us quickly without a reservation. The atmosphere is nice and fairly family oriented. The menu offers a good selection, however there are not enough appetizer selections without seafood in them. For a steak house, I was disappointed in my fillet mignon being undercooked in the middle. I like rare meet but it was even too rare for me to eat. At the same visit, my husbands strip was overbooked. There must have been someone new on the grill because previous visits the meat was done to perfection. The chocolate cake is amazing for dessert and big enough to share! Great selection of wine and liquor available. read more
