The service is excellent. Except for an occasional birthday celebration, the ambience is comfortable and pleasant. The steaks are not the very highest quality (a bit tough and chewy) so I strongly suggest you order the filet- you can never go wrong with filet mignon! Occasionally, they put regular tomatoes in the salad, which I prefer-- much better than the small cherry tomatoes which are their normal salad ingredient. The butter they serve with their wonderful Italian bread is usually hard and difficult to spread, so get the butter on the warm bread ASAP and hope for the best Order their baked potato without the salt covering, which is also apparently something they think is really good to put on a potato. (It's not- in my opinion) I LOVE the fact that they have crushed black pepper already on the table as a setting! All in all -for a restaurant food chain- Cattlemen's is a great place to go, either by yourself, or with friends or family!

So sad to see this place go! I spent every family birthday here for as long as I can remember. The service is always wonderful and you can't beat their happy hour prices. I love the interior decor, especially when they string the lights for the Holidays. I went last night for the final time, and it was such a great experience (as always!). We started in the bar for happy hour, and I got the raspberry lemon drop (my fav off the happy hour menu!). Not too strong and such a great started cocktail. My family and I went all out this time, and ordered four appetizers: calamari, tumbleweed onions, shrimp cocktail, and artichoke cheese dip. The calamari was crispy and yummy as always. I had never had the tumbleweed onions, but I was pleasantly surprised! They were stringy and delicious. The shrimp cocktail is great at Cattlemens, the shrimp is very cold and the cocktail sauce is pretty standard. The artichoke cheese dip was always my favorite appetizer, and I was a little disappointed to see that it was served with chips instead of bread, but I just used the table bread anyway! For my meal I ordered the petite filet with fries as a side (because I, once again, eat like a child). The steak can honestly be pretty hit or miss, but this time it was very tender and flavorful. The fries have always been a favorite of mine there, so they're always a go-to for me! For dessert my mom and I love splitting the fried apple pie (If we have enough room). My brother has a dairy allergy and is usually left out of a lot of desserts, but the waitress went out of her way to make sure he got something by bringing him some crushed oreos to snack on. It was so sweet and that was always the kind of service we got at Cattlemens. I highly recommend visiting before it closes. See y'all in Rohnert Park!

We went for the first time to the Petaluma location and it was hoppin' (they are closing this location Dec 31) Since we didn't have a reservation we opted to eat in the lounge at a high table. Our server was friendly and swift. She was great with recommendations and we opted for the dinner for two. We were brought a large salad to share each with our own dressing, warm bread, and then our meals. Be sure to go hungry!!! My dining partner had a great steak but my steak was nearly flavorless. Still enjoyed my drink meal and atmosphere.

I can't believe that this amazing steak house will be replaced with Chick-fil-A soon!! It was my first time here and I told myself I have to come back many times before it's officially closing by 1/1/25!! I made the reservation but there was still about 30 minutes wait which was not an issue. It gave me time to check out the bar and found out they have happy hour from 4 pm till closing Monday to Friday! I had 2 old fashioned and it was good!! I got ribeye which came with warm & delicious sourdough bread, salad and sides. I think I read on the menu that the meat is from Harry's Ranch? I'm not sure but the steak was definitely delicious with perfect charred taste! Service was super nice even though they are so busy! I will miss you!

No visits to Sonoma county is complete without a classic steak dinner at cattlemen's. The old western charm takes you back to simpler times with a feast of baked bread, salad, beans, and steak & lobster. A family friendly establishment with a boisterous atmosphere, be prepared for the large groups celebrating. I'm always so impressed with how well the servers manage to flow like clockwork in such tight quarters while keeping their cool, bravo! Thank you for the 30+ years of good memories, you will be missed!

Unfortunately this location has closed or will be closing soon. Luckily we were able to get in and have a great experience on their last few weeks open. The jumbo shrimp and steak were excellent and the portions were so big (with endless salad)! Had great service and couldn't ask for a better last night in California.
