Voted “Manliest Steakhouse in America” by Men’s Health magazine and featured on the Travel Channel and the Discovery Channel, Cattlemen’s boasts what many locals claim as the best steak in town. The lengthy menu incorporates a variety of options of grilled meats, from a standard NY Strip to the famous “Cowboy,” a two pound T-bone steak. Baked beans, and Cole slaw are familiar sides, but chances are you won’t find a better steamed wine mushroom recipe in town. The homemade Pecan Pie makes for an appropriately decadent finish.
