Why Cattlemens Is the Most Iconic Steakhouse in OKC
Very few restaurants capture the true heart and history of Oklahoma like Cattlemen’s Steakhouse does. Located in the heart of Stockyard City, Cattlemen's is deeply rooted in Oklahoma hospitality with its Western history and award-winning steaks. From humble beginnings to hall-of-fame status, Cattlemen’s is known today as a must-visit destination for locals and tourists alike. Dining with us is more than just a bite to eat; it’s an experience that you won’t want to miss. Today, we’ll show you why Cattlemen’s is the best and most iconic steakhouse in Oklahoma City.
A Storied History Rooted in Oklahoma's Cowboy Culture
Cattlemen’s Steakhouse is the epitome of cowboy culture. Established in 1910 as Cattlemen’s Cafe in the stockyards district, we were serving hungry cowboys, ranchers, and stockyard workers during the height of the cattle industry. In the 1940s, Cattlemen’s lore gained legendary status through a high-stakes dice game that led to new ownership and rapid expansion. Over the years, word about Cattlemen’s has spread far and wide, and we’ve welcomed visitors from actors, celebrities, and even presidents. Today, we continue to honor that legacy by preserving our original decor and photos of diners from the golden age of Oklahoma’s cowboy culture.
Legendary Steaks and Classic Flavors
While its rich history cements Cattlemen's as the longest-running steakhouse in Oklahoma, it's the food itself that has earned it a reputation as the most iconic place to eat. Every steak we serve is hand-picked, meticulously aged, and grilled over an open flame to perfection. No shortcuts, no gimmicks, just consistent flavor that our diners love. The signature dishes, like the Ribeye and T-bone, paired with hearty sides, will leave you too full to eat more, but you're counting down the days till your next visit. Even our secret house seasonings and salad dressings have gained the loyalty of diners over the years. Now, we can't forget about the lamb fries. This signature dish is a Cattlemen's rite of passage that diners from all over come to experience. These are just a few of the reasons Cattlemen's is the only steakhouse in Oklahoma to be inducted into the National Steakhouse Hall of Fame.
